Epic Love💞

Defining the word in their own way,
Their experiences, they got a say.
Perception differs, so does the feeling,
Can agree to disagree, if not willing.

For some, it’s cheeks blushing red,
And others, it was confined to bed.
For some, its the sleepless nights.
And others, an affair of first sights.

They say, it leaves an emotional baggage,
The happy moments serving a leverage.
Some said it happens more than once,
Say whatever, those were the lucky ones.

One said, it’s all butterflies and roses,
Candle in the dark, when the door closes.
Another said, it’s endless laughs and talks,
Ask the betrayed, it’s more about shocks.

I can’t define it, and I guess you, neither.
Be my epic love, and redefine it together?
You see, love is different for every heart,
Let’s set an epitome, maybe, till we part.

CLOSURE
Living a life of pretence, a lot I did conceal,
Masks adaptive to audience, wish I could peel.
Starting all over again, indeed a giant leap,
Overthinking, or maybe I think too deep.

Come as someone, might leave as another,
Might ask me after ages, did that bother?
Thoughts astray, assumptions I often made,
Camouflaged answers- left me no shade!

A few sweet words, look at you- so keen,
Promises turning into apologies, I’ve seen.
People merely seasons, refrain from obsession,
One became a memory - and another, a lesson!

Anxiety kicks in, thoughts being a latch,
A void created, still managed with a patch.
Wasn’t wise thinking about what could be,
Breathed a sigh, acceptance is the key!

Unanswered questions, restless for a reason,
Know, what breaks your heart, fixes your vision.
Don’t judge my pen, overthinking indeed,
Merely a closure - maybe all that I need.

-

The sun shall rise again,
And it shall rain!
You cried on the screen,
And I felt the pain...
Wasn't easy to watch,
Emotions being a latch
Real life or the reel one-
Neither, a happy end,
How I Wish,
there were ways to mend.
For one last time,
I cried, as you smiled..
No, you wouldn't give up,
Someone must have wiled!
We never met,
And yet, everyday, pain gets stronger!
You laughed,
You danced,
You acted,
You did a lot of things, brother,
I just wish, you had lived longer!

That name, people quaked with fear,
Family, that was complicatedly dear.
An abomination, grew up with hatred,
That brotherly bond, although sacred.

Never a crime, looking out for self,
A pure evil himself, none could help.
Often addressed as a lunatic or bleak,
Made me believe, empathy's for the weak.

Caroline and then Camille, he was no chaste,
Blondes you see, even the evil has a taste.
The tales ended, not because you were vile,
Realized, moments of happiness are fragile

The king for whom family was power,
Harm them, see the rage he'd shower.
A little wolf born, which they expected never,
A hope, that redefined "always and forever ".

Dear Klaus, no, you weren't always right,
And it's okay, you just had your insight.
Enemies that you made throughout your life,
None had the audacity to even point a knife.

Who said that the strongest ain't afraid?
Fear of losing his daughter, he strayed.
Pity and compassion, tends to zero,
To have lived a villain, and died a hero.

Thank you, Mom!

How heavy was I, when you did carry?
Wasn't yet born, you started to worry.
The first time I cried, you did smile,
For I know, it was worth the while.

Knew, language I spoke didn't exist,
You didn't get, yet let me persist.
I would wail and you wouldn't sleep,
Even if I fell asleep, I know you'd peep.

Teaching me morals and virtues to live,
The one whom I'd always believe.
Yet, the first day of school you did lie,
Saying you'd be there, but bid bye.

Say me mom how are you so selfless,
Even when my life now is such mess.
Life got busier and I'm really sorry,
Out there, I know you still worry.

I know I still reside in your prayer,
I still love you the same, I swear.
Sorry mom, couldn't be the best son,
Thank you for never leaving me alone.

Was it easy for you to always sacrifice,
Can't repay you, even if I live twice.
Thank you mom for always being there,
And making me the man I'm here.

GROWING UP...

I remember when I was infant,
My priorities being their top.
Life ain't the same this instant,
Oh, I wish I had never grown up.

Having wants those wouldn't end,
Yet, I just needed to stand and ask.
Everyone seemed to be my friend,
Growing up, saw people with mask.

Recalling when I was a child,
Snatch my toy, I would cry.
Now, every pain seems mild,
Shattered inside, yet I'd lie.

Time when my hero was dad,
Mom, no less than a deity.
A minute away, I'd be sad,
And now, I ask for liberty!

Restaurants being the first choice,
Realized, no match for mom's food.
Life got busier to even hear her voice,
Relive those days, wish I could.

-

I'm sorry!

Down the memory lane, makes me sad,
I don't know if I was that bad.
Tough times, emotions at peak,
I'm sorry for I've been weak.

You ain't always their priority,
Helpless, you got no authority.
Cried, but nothing I did gain,
I'm sorry, but I was in pain.

They don't share the same vision,
Alas! They've got their reason.
To look once from my aspect,
I'm sorry, for I did expect.

World, a market for your sentiment,
Look back once, history is evident.
Didn't complain to seek fake care,
I'm sorry, for I just used to share.

Please show me a ray of light,
Say me once that I was right.
Step into my shoes, feel my part,
I'm sorry, for I too have a heart.

LOST LOVE💔
I smile sometimes, over how I found you,
When everything about you seemed so true.
Such a sweet traitor was the time,
To turn things as sour as lime.

Eyes those used to be an enchantment,
Smile that you wore as an ornament.
Just the passion, that two souls came together?
No, genuine love that bound each other.

Say me if I ever was that bad,
What about me made you this mad?
Or was it easy to leave me with my fears,
And not even look back to wipe my tears?

It was hard to let you go, sadly,
When I needed you very badly!
Everything born, returns back to dust,
Is that the place for my love that's lost?

MASKED!

In the crowd with no face familiar,
Shake of a hand was never peculiar.
Smile being the cover on their face,
Trust them as they bow to tie your lace?

Confused whom to address as my friend,
Split personality was the new trend.
Fresh skin usually has a rotten fruit,
As human, do such virtues really suit?

A few sweet lines, you're deceived,
Need not ask, what you received.
Why to always stab at the back?
Is it the courage that they lack?

Trust and destiny laughed loud till end,
Why in such a haste to make a friend?
Little did I know, else I'd have asked,
People these days like being masked.

Despite being trolled for low strike rate,
Selflessly played for nation's win rate.
Throughout the years, he did the same,
Remember, "The Wall" ain't just a name.

Someone with a rock solid defense,
And with a will power, so intense.
Best minds found him tough to frame,
Remember, "The Wall" ain't just a name.

A real teamman who often walked on fire,
Tears flooded my eyes, seeing him retire.
Even at the end, didn't seek bubbled fame,
Remember, "The Wall" ain't just a name.
