A million times I have lied
About how I didn't need love to survive
But when you said you loved me
I couldn't see a reason to not love you back
For the first time with you, I was true
And all the lies lined up to laugh at me
Until the time you decided to join the queue
That's when my lies sighed and my only truth died.

The Girl I Remember Loving
The weight in my chest is unmistakable
But in contrast I catch myself smiling
Then I realise, I'm thinking about you
Something of a habit made out of time
But it's not about how you're not here anymore
Silly me, smiling at the girl I remember loving
I remember remembering you far too much
That it has become my very own disease
But oh, I was in love, and remember, I did
About far too many things, both little and large
That I can never be sure if I cannot forget you
Or just that I remember you too much.
We were growing apart, and sadly I couldn't do much
Who knew, that love would become my ultimate lesion
The heart burns brighter when it's fuelled by love
Mine still burns, not knowing about what made you cast me away
And to this day it hasn't stopped burning
It burns, but the warmth vaguely resembles that of yours.
I still think about you, the one who could actually walk away
I try to picture you being happy without me
In my head, I can love you and still end up not losing you
In reality though, I wanted to love your very existence
I can be sure that you wouldn't even want me as your memory now
But pardon me, I'm still thinking about the girl I remember loving.

There are people who have conversations about poetry.
And there are some who makes poetry out of conversations.
The former loves poetry;
The latter dwells in it.

Fellas, some people would indeed put in efforts to repair you back into your old self; but sometimes, once you bounce back, they cannot take in your natural vibe and leave you right there. Probably wondering.
If you understand this, I realise you possess immense strength. And you have my respect for that.

Of Cuckoos and Dreams
Two dark cuckoos
Married and all
Living in a forest
High above on the branches.
As time passed
They were blessed with an egg
Papa cuckoo was very thrilled
Mama cuckoo had already started knitting.
"I want my chick to be stout and handsome
With brightly coloured feathers all over his body
When he shows off his colours and dance,
Every eye must envy and adore him- I want a Peacock as my son"
Prayed mama cuckoo all day long.
"My son must grow up into a strong bird
A bird thats soars high up above the clouds
He must have strong talons and powerful eyes
I want an Eagle as my son"
Dreamt papa cuckoo and grinned widely.
At last when the time had come
The shell had cracked up and split
Out came a black little cuckoo
Cooing and flapping helplessly.
As he grew up into a young cuckoo
A rather dark but beautiful one,
He was neither coloured brightly like a peacock
Nor had strong talons like an eagle.
Papa cuckoo said he could never be famous until he soared high up
Mama cuckoo asked him to dance when it rained
They were too busy trying to make him an eagle or a peacock
They couldn't realise all he wanted was to sing.
The cuckoo started to wag his back whenever it rained
And glided over the canopy all day long
He forgot he loved to sing, and that he had to
And so did his own chicks.
The cuckoos that were born after, they never sang or cooed
They were too busy training to glide and dance and what not
The forest lost its natural sweet voice
And no one could make out the forest from barren lands.
It's never about what someone wants you to be
But about what lies great inside of you, and what you wanna become
See, a peacock can't coo
Or an eagle can definitely not sing
Be what you are, and show them
What you can and will be.

Her eyes are the kind that'd make you wish you'd wake up to see them first thing in the morning for the rest of your life.

Love stories made me think that true love was a beautiful feeling.
Until she came into my life.
Now true love is a breathing human with a beautiful heart.

Alive.
Every single time I see someone
I can't help but notice that it's not you
Every time the breeze brushes my stubble
I end up realising that it's not your breath
The sun cannot give me enough warmth
The snow fails to give me the chills
If I were to show how much I miss you
I would fill the skies with words
I can wander alone for a million miles
But there'll come a time when I'll need to go back home
And to whom will I return, but to you
I wish you'd keep the door open for me
That'd be a reason to hold on
That'd be a reason for staying alive.

The open seas show me how my love would be without you.
Deep, lifeless and ultimately empty.

I'm doing it for you, and I don't intend on planning to stop.
But if you can, save me from loving you to death darling.

The heavens must've ran out of space for stars for I see that it has invested a lot of it inside your eyes.

- amaya_singh05 Hugh you seem to be so interested in 'worlds and universes' bit
- mohanwrites @amaya_singh05 sometimes it's a empty mass of heavenly bodies sometimes it's a person you never know that's why ❤️✨
- amaya_singh05 People don't fill u it u who can do it
- mohanwrites @amaya_singh05 you mustn't look up to all persons as stars just dignify the right ones as stars and you'll have beautiful skies adoring your life
- amaya_singh05 Yeah

Clipping Young Wings
"I want to become a combat pilot" I said
"Life will be tough in the military" they said.
"I want to fly amidst warplanes" I said
"You never know if you'll return" they said.
"I want to maneuver and do barrel rolls" I said
"That is risky to do in a plane" they said.
"I want to fly and protect my nation" I said
"War is cold and brutal" they said.
But now I'm high up in the skies,
Kissing the horizon with my plane
And I don't give a damn about what they say
Because I'm the one who touched the skies with glory
And all they got to do is to watch me fly
From below.

You know you're mature when you realize that every person in your life seems to be a phase, lesson or factor.

I know things will get better
I know i can get through this
I know it's difficult, this path
But it still feels empty inside
Every morning i wake up to
Seems nothing like the mornings I'm used to
Every night i toss and turn
Pleading my soul to fall asleep
I know i can make things alright
But i just wanna go home
I can always find new ways
To keep me up and running
But i can't fill the void
Or ignore the sound of pain
The sound of real emptiness
I want mummy's hot strong tea
I want daddy's voice to boom across the room
I want to hear my sister's anklet sounds throughout the day
I know it's all difficult now
I know I've come a far way.. And things aren't easy
Like before
I know i cant cry after growing up
I know i can fend myself and evolve
I know I'm not mommy's lil boy anymore
But i just wanna miss life less
I just wanna go home.

The moon, my love, is the metaphor for you in my poems, for poetry shall bleed beauty if I state you instead.

When I'd lost hope
And decided that I'm unlovable
You were the one who showed me
That I needn't be desperate for love
But rather deserve it
In all its might.

The Moon is the epitome of love that can never let go.
Just when you thought the Sun had laid down
Out she comes
Showcasing the slow burn of the Sun in slow motion.

Yours Most Sincerely, The Army Chief
This is the Chief of the Army staff writing
To inform you the demise of a hero; Who was deployed in the plains
Who led his troops to victory; but the enemy there was waiting
Such is war, and all the chaos and campaigns.
This is to the brave hearted father
Who sent his only son to fight for his country
The country is indebted to you; There's no nobler deed further
Your son has set the war stricken plains free.
Condolences to the grief stricken mother
Your prayers had kept your beloved alive
But he died, so that he could save his war time brother
And pave way for the other men who toil hard.
Truly sorry for the martyr's wife
He always said he loved you very much
Your husband always prayed for you to stay safe
And even now, he will be keeping his angelic watch from above.
This piece, is for the growing bud, the young son
Men are greedy; and to land and power they crave
But if a conflict ever arises again, I wish to see you standing with a gun
Fighting off the enemies and adding pride to your father in his grave.
Yours most sincerely, the Army Chief.
