Never Let Me Go

If I fall, don’t pick me up

Let me lie there for a while

Even if i cry out in pain

Let me lie there for a while

Even if I try and can’t move

Don’t pick me up

Be there if you wish to watch over me

But don’t pick me up

I’ll writhe in agony for a while

I’ll close my eyes and open them again

But I won’t stop trying

Even if I try and can’t move

Don’t pick me up

If I fall and you hold my hand

I’ll get up on my feet

I’ll smile and look at you

I’ll hug you with warmth

If I fall and you hold my hand

I won’t let go

I’ll walk ahead with aplomb

But I’ll still hold your hand tightly

I won’t let you go

If you fall, I’ll fall with you

We’ll muster strength to get up together

But I won’t let go

If you want to run

I’ll run with you

The day you decide you’ve had enough

To let go will be tough

If you want to let me go

Then let me fall

Don’t pick me up

Let me lie there for a while

Even if I try and can’t move

Don’t pick me up

Be there if you wish to watch over me

But don’t pick me up

I’ll writhe with aching memories for a while

But I won’t stop trying

If I fall and you pick me up

Never let me go.

A day with you

This is no poem, no rhythm, no rhyme           

It's what i feel

It's what i want you to feel             

A love so warm that it melts a stone

A stone of a heart which you claim to own.

When you open your eyes I don't know what you see

But today let me show you the world as it is to me.

Sunshine falls on my face to wake me up

To tell me that it's time for me to buck up.

It's a new day

It's a new beginning

It's another reason for me to live

Cause this gives me an opportunity

To come closer to you                                                            

To feel your warmth

To touch your hands

And realize that it's not all that bad.

When I see that smile on your face

Somehow, this world feels like a better a place.

When i feel your warmth against mine

Somehow, every moment then on seems more divine.

Together we can walk on rainbows

Together fruits of joy, we sow

Walking steps to match yours

Ready to catch you when you fall.

We bicker like a bunch of hungry cats

You scratch me but I bite you.

In the end, I'll come to you

As you lick my wounds so shall I too.

Pockets full of chocolates I stole

Gluttony queen that you are

You ate them whole.

The chocolate smeared on your nose

Made me crinkle my toes.

How can you be so adorable?

Gosh! I feel like locking you

Within the wraps of these arms.

Then the day comes to a close

I stood there alone on the terrace

As the moon arose.

While gazing at stars

I got a message from you

Which said -

"Look at the moon

It has a message from me to you

No matter where you go

I'll always be there

To watch over you

So don't be scared

you are mine only."

Bubbles burst inside my heart

I close my eyes and wait for another day to start.

Everyday you give me a reason to laugh

Everyday I wait for those bubbles to burst

A passion for life singes inside

Somehow, you do a magic that quenches that thirst.

It's beautiful

It's crazy

It's all this and much more.

Under My Skin

Mushy marshlands of grass under my feet

Running after you to beat the heat

Yellow butterflies twirling round my head

Between our fingers was tied a strong thread

This was the first time you got under my skin.

Noisy classmates bickering over books

Sitting next to you on a bench with hooks

You tried to pull out my skirt which was stuck

Everyone was whispering, yet you didn't give a sock

That appalling humiliation got under my skin.

It was the day I stood first in class

I rushed to you first, to celebrate with a glass

Your hands were nestling the curls of her hair

That moment I realized, little did you care

A flurry of hot tears flowed down my cheeks

Yet again, you got under my skin.

Was walking down the aisle

As the man of my dreams welcomed me with a smile

As we were exchanging our wedding vows

I glimpsed across to notice your dejected brows

The priest confirmed for everyone's approval

You faked a smile that was oh-so-jovial

Not surprisingly, you got under my skin.

A season of spring and winter had passed

Fate had us attending a funeral mass

Melancholy of a widow, no one could guess

But the warmth of your hug did not let me be depressed

You were here with me again 

I was so glad this time, that you got under my skin.

We sat on a swing in Central Park

Rays of sunlight danced on our mark

Breezy winds caressed my grays

Wrinkled hands held on to each other through rough days

Your head rested on my shoulder

That is when it hit me - 

You were destined to be under my skin.
