Ever been in love?

If there is a feeling that can come close to the innocent exhilaration of running in the open with your arms free as a child, it is the feeling of being in love.

For the first time, for the millionth time, it doesn't matter, it's still the same.

The magic does surprisingly recur.

Maybe with a lesser intensity, maybe as ephemeral as a bubble, but it does happen!

Everything...

The butterflies in the stomach, that constant whirlpool inside of you, waiting to explode, the goose-flesh, those billion thoughts that steal every waking moment, that hopeless attempt to try not to smile, the magic is always there!

Its hard to ignore it, harder to escape from it and hardest to contain it, but you somehow do, for awhile atleast, until the madness takes over!

Till then all you can do, is ride the wave, enjoy the spurt while it lasts, till by a poor stroke of luck, dark reality hits you hard between the eyes...till the magic fades away!

Some things never heal

In a dream, so pristine and tranquil,

She lay unperturbed, unaware of the still.

Asleep to the world, awake to her dream,

The trance would soon break, soon she would scream.

The heartless world won't cease to cause harm,

Deaf to her cries, ignorant to her pain, but in themselves, Calm.

It's been too often now, it'd been too long,

She still crumbles easily, not even close to growing strong.

The blood flows thicker, tears don't see an end,

It's happened again, this heart will never mend.

Time makes her unwary now, soon she will sleep,

waiting to be re struck, in pain , back to her trance so deep.

The Sweetest Pain

In love again, yet so distraught,

The lie is out, I have been caught.

Its more than still waters, running ever so deep,

Dreams are real, I’ve lost the art of sleep.

Like a million echoes, struggling to come out,

This seems like ‘it’, not just a passing bout.

Hard to hide, harder to contain,

It aches deep within, but is yet the sweetest pain!
