Soul of the mortal

And they play a safe game
From the comforts of their heart
Scared of the damage
And the catastrophe the love will bring along

Should I pity or feel sorry for
As love my friend, isn't something you plan
Put on an armour
Strategize and design
Avoid any kind of defeat
Get into the battlefield only if you are sure of a win

It's more like playing with the fire
Knowing very well it could burn you
But you need that warmth to keep you alive
Turning down to ashes doesn't scare you
As much as staying cold does.

It's jumping off that cliff
Hoping for your imaginary wings to span out
Take you on the best flight of your life
The fall doesn't scare you
As you'd risk anything for the height you reached.

It's getting drowned in the sea of emotions
Forgetting all the lessons of swimming you excelled
Where your lungs crave more for this salty liquid
Than the air full of oxygen, sans love
As love my friend, isn't something' you can experience sitting at the shore

It ain't about the guarantee or assurances
Of always staying by your side
Through illness and health
It's about your dumb brain
That can think of no other way of existing
Without love being soul of this mortal living

Strip down

Baring your naked skin is easy
You just have to drop down your clothes
Even if you are in the mood or no
In time you can get into the groove
Else wrap it up in few hasty seconds

Getting your intentions naked
Stripping layers off your soul
Is totally a varied biz
It can't be thrusted upon
By any force
For any damn reason

Everyone knows what lies
beneath those woven threads.
But the thoughts under this bony cage
Are hard to decipher, even by self.

Cause this random mumbling
Of your brain
The insane madening emotions
Contained in your heart
Are too good at playing
Hide and seek

The skin show pleases the flickering psyche
Not the cold dark dungeons of my heart
Which await to be illuminated
By your blazing soul

Due

Missing someone you love,
Is heartbreaking
Soul wrenching
Breath taking
Nerve wrecking

But you struck that deal,
Didn't you?
When you gave your heart unto love?
To use it the way they want..

To love it back
Or break it into million thousand pieces
To take care of it
Or to leave it to rot

But there's a weird comfort in this pain

If the person you miss are one of a kind,
Who love you the same
Then cherish every ounce of this pain
You got lucky, they owning your heart.

And wear this pain as a smile
Cause when you two finally meet
When this distance no longer exists
Make sure you get your due
For all the pain you beared
In the most sweetest possible way..

Bumpy ride
