All for a song

A few days back one of my friend called me and gave me few lines. A track was ready but she needed lyrics for the tune so that it could be transformed into a song that she could sing. The lines were: A twirl around, I felt you in the air. Surrounding everywhere, Are you around baby. I wish this time never should have come And now it has come, you're not here anymore to hold me around... Ironically, the above lines transformed into the poem jotted below, but it does not fit into the track anymore. We are still in search for a tune to go with it (a few adjustments to the poem is negotiable). If you hear or see an absconding tune anywhere, kindly let us know by commenting here on the post. I turn around, to a whisper that sounds like you're near me. You surround me, Oh! baby! can you hear me? I wish you were here to hold me tight, make everything right. Kiss away my sorrows and pain, embrace me and call out my name. It feels like just yesterday, a life we planned, twirled fingers ...

Yearnings of an innocent heart

"Dedicated to Anki, Deepu & Nidhs, the three valuable gems of my life"- Ashwini "Come stay with me forever", says a heart that misses its confidante. For it knows, when the strings inside it start to sever, this forged bond it would give up never.

Only a yearning heart, that has loved knows- warm morns, rainy noons and calm nights  spent smiling together shield, when the tsunami of emotio...

Fear

Deserted streets are where I follow you,  I'm the hushed footsteps you hear. When no one walks beside you,  I'm the silent whispers that brush past your ear. On black somber nights, I'm the darkness that clasps your heart, a misty shadow that creeps in when your door creaks ajar. I find my way to your mind crawlin' up your back, reach through your eyes into your heart and breathe down your neck. I am a demon cloaked in black, overwhelmed by me you run and crack. Helpless, you put your soul on an altar, sacrifice it for me, grinning, I feed you doubts, tricks and make a fool out of thee. You think putting faith in superstitions can do away with me? Aah! It amuses me to see how naive you can be. Sometimes I am big, sometimes I am minuscule to overpower you, a concoction of drear and dread I brew. Sometimes I am a steep stair, sometimes I am deep water or the gravity that makes you fall, things that crawl, while sometimes appearing as...
