All we will ever have

All we will ever have - "History"

We had a history, even before we ever knew

Standing next to each other in the queue
You might not remember but I do

Some years later, don't know which day
The brief talk that we had in the hallway
About the galaxy far far away

Fast forward to the year eighteen
Your name popped up on my screen
We talked all night as if high on caffeine

Was afraid because it seemed too good to be true
Said you will be there when I need you to
Didn't know then what you would put me through

I asked you, will you be there
When I might go off the rails
You said don't worry let's unfurl the sails

But when the push came to shove
You just left me and took all the love
I felt like a battered dove

Know, I too made a mistake
But was it worth the heartbreak
You slept peacefully but I was awake

And you blamed it all on me
Wonder why just couldn't see
All you wanted was to break free

And when I asked you to stay
But you believed in making hay
While I cried, you pushed me away

You met me at my best and left me at my worst
Sometimes wish you weren't my first
And every now and then, all I can do is fight the outburst

All that was needed was time
To show you there will be springtime
But guess all I can do is rhyme

Hit you up once at dawn
All you said was just move on
As if I was nothing but a coupon

I loved you with all my heart
Guess, was just a starting point in your love-chart
While I was hoping for a fresh start

Asked you for a reason
You said it was just for a season
Wish I could yell, 'tis treason

Since you have already moved on
All I can do is soldier on
Wait for the one who won't treat me like a pawn

The future might be a mystery
And all we will ever have is this history.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon, Veena Rao
