Can I take back 

All tha pain

All the hurt

All the misery

That raked havock

In the corridors 

Bright and cheerful

It ought to be

Why then it turned dark inside

And reeked 

Of pain

Of hurt

Of misery

I ought to take it all back

Consuming me inside

Like a giant wave

Scared am I

Of the water

Where I drowned last

Oh please!

Who will take it back 

The pain

The hurt

The misery

My heart is wailing 

Screaming 

The pain, hurt, misery

Swallowing me

Oh please take it away

Calm and still I seek

Will the shelter happen

Not the dark and pale

But bright and lovely

With just the two?!

The dread of the night has won

Casting its gloom on my soul

I now blow the candle

Darkness is all I am left with

Barely holding on 

To the life

I lay still

Hoping to just float away

Into sheer darkness

Staring at the window

Anxious she sits 

Hoping she would get to see him

The clock ticks by

He comes not

For he is by some other windowside

Where the temptaton lay

Why would he reach out

To a star that is fading 

A flower that is withering

A wick that is flickering

A soul that is boring

Oh! The new window

Full of joy

Hope

Temptations 

New aspirations 

Fresh beginnings

New him

New her

Shuts she down

Her eyes

Still by the windowside

Dried teardrops

Marking her tired face

Some on the forearm

Where she lays her head

He will come not

She knows

For somewhere by a new window

A new chapter has begun!

Gloom however it may

As a storm awaits

Shattering the still of the night

Robbing the peace

"Worry not"

Says a voice

"For we are together"

"Gloom however it may

Snatch it will not

The bliss that exists

For many lives to come"

And then it happened

The thunder. The rumble

Shaking the earth to its core 

But could defy not the duo

Who sought refuge 

In arms of one another

"Faith, hope, belief"

They whispered love 

To each other

Anger of the storm

They could hear not

The gusty wind

Just ruffled their hair

Their hearts throbbing

Loud as ever

Beating for each other

Is all that mattered

And then everything turned quiet 

Eerie and cold

Just as the sun peeped

They hadn't realised

They had fallen asleep

In each other's embrace

Even as the storm passed by

You are all that i have

Anchored to you

For this life and more

As deep as the heart of the ocean

Lies my love and longing for you

Time may pass

Tides may change

But it would still be

Like the first cell

That took shape in those depths 

And survived it all

Times may fly

Seasons may change

But it would still be

Like the birdsong

That you hear besides your window 

No matter what, it would still echo

And immerse you in all

In this life and more
