तू दिल को छू जाए

तू दिल को छू जाए,
जैसे रात को एक तारा,
जैसे सागर को आसमान,
जैसे मन को एक राग,
जैसे धरती को पानी,
जैसे नदिया को धारा,
तू दिल को छू जाए, फिर छू ले मुझे...

छू ले दिल मेरा तू,
जैसे चांदनी रात,
जैसे तारों की चादर,
जैसे सुबह का समा...

जैसे ठंड की एक रात में,
कोई जलती एक आंग हो,
छू लूं दिल तेरा मैं, छू ले तू मुझे...

-

ये खामोशी कर रही है कितनी बातें
सन्नाटों में कट रही हैं ये रातें
अनकही सी ज़ुबान कहती है दासताँ
तेरे मेरे दरम्यान जो है ही नहीं
वो भोली सी सुबह लाती है क्यों दुआ
जब हम होकर हम है नहीं
हम है नहीं...

I COULD NEVER BE THE ONE

There are too many days that I wake up with the thought of you, the dredges of some taunting dream still playing in my head. Do you think of me? Am I still something to you? Do you look at her and remember what she has taken away from you? Or was I someone so little that could be discarded from your life? My bed feels empty from where you slept by my side just that one time. Where you kissed me, or you didn't? Did I dream that all along? It's been a couple of years since we spoke, then why can I hear the sound of your voice so clearly? I know the touch of your face, I touched it last night. How can it feel so real? When you whispered "of course I love you baby, I loved you all along" my heart soared so painfully, I cried. My pillow knows how much. That night when we sat in the cold room, the darkness of the night dimmed with Christmas lights, you sang the words I always wanted to hear from you but your eyes looked at her. I knew then, like I know now, that you will never be mine. That I could never be the one...

She sleeps to the sounds of war ringing in her ears. In them she knows she has found peace.

I Am Sorry

If the sun shines on a day
Where I am no more
I want you to hope and pray
That am in a good place for sure.

If the day starts without me
There won't be the smile you love
But promise me that you will see
That I had to give you up.

If tomorrow I am not there
Please don't hurt too much
My pain, I wish I could share
But alas it had to end in such

Tomorrow will start without me
I wish I could have spared you
But there is no solution you see
For the hate and pain and hurt too

My love, be brave, be strong
I tried and you should know
And I know I am so wrong
But now I have to go

I am sorry...

ONCE UPON A KNIGHT

When Sir Torryn Roderick shares a passionate kiss with a pretty village wench he doesn't know that the young woman is a actually a lady. He is more shocked to discover that she is betrothed to another man. Soon Torryn learns that the so called gentleman who is to be her groom is not what he seems and Torryn valiantly vows to protect the fair lady, risking his own life.

Lady Elyssande Durand was taught to be content with whatever came her way and her betrothal was one such matter. Ladies were not supposed to feel what she felt until a Welsh knight showed her unbridled passion one chance night. But she cannot dare to dishonor her vow knowing that the repercussions could be catastrophic for everyone involved - herself, her family and the man with whom she's knows she is fast falling in love.

The fair maiden sobbed and mourned
The death of men who had been warned
Of the witch who spilled the blood of men,
Had killed and yet would kill again.

The sound of her tears travelled afar,
To a sorcerer who always kept his doors ajar,
To help and lend his talents and might,
In flaming days and darkest nights.

And in his crystal clear ball,
The sorcerer saw the witch's gall,
The fair maiden, tied and scarred,
And her exit that still was barred.

The sorcerer saw the beauty beneath
The rags & scars & then did he seethe
And raged to save the maiden's honour,
And lift the indignity upon her.

He charged upon his stallion white,
Into the dark with his brilliant light;
Then the witch did stand no chance,
When the white sorcerer had taken his stance.

He battled her dark gifts and bled,
Into the earth that turned red,
And then called up the warrior goddess,
Cause the lineage he shared with her was flawless.

This is a story of bravery & valour,
Of blood & bone, gruesome and gore;
Of a battle fought with Honour,
To stop the indignity upon her.

And so the good won over evil,
Ending our tale medieval,
In saving the maiden from her captor,
The sorcerer and she lived happily thereafter.

I lost so many people this year.

Not all of them died.

-

Moving on from what was and what can never be.
Moving on from all that we were and all that we couldn't be.
You can never judge me for choosing life over loving you,
I won't hear of it.

-

Let me hold you fast
As long it lasts
The day will make you older
No matter where I am
You always can
Just lean over my shoulder

So close your eyes my dear
No need to fear
What the day will bring tomorrow
And I'll hold you tight
Against the light
You'll never face a sorrow
