My kinda love

I wish for a love that will come slowly but deeply,

and stay as long as I survive.

I want unmatchable, unquenchable and pure kind of love.

I want, an expressive, fearless and effortless kind of love.

I don't wany just a romance, rather I want a devotional kind of love.

Don't promise me forever,

Don't show me false dreams.

Keep me away from all unreal romance.

Don't tell me that men and women are different,

Just sit with me and talk your heart out.

I don't need restrictions in our relationship,

Nor a need of having to always agree with each other.

I don't want us to be lost in ourselves as a couple.

All I want us to be well informed so we can grow as an individuals.

Because,

Love does not make people isolated

Love has no place for revenge and envy.

Love has no place for sadness and excuses.

Rather, love is a kind that makes people kinder and compassionate.

इसे कैद कहूं, या मर्ज़ का वैध

एक मुद्दत से आरज़ू थी फुरसत की,

मिला तो इस शर्त पे की किसी से ना मिलो ।

शहर का यूं वीरान होना कुछ यूं गज़ब कर गया

बरसो से परे गुमसुम घरों को आबाद कर गया ।

ये कैसा समय आया है कि ,

दूरी ही दवा बन गई है ।

ज़िंदगी में पहली बार ऐसा वक़्त आया है

इंसान ने ज़िन्दा रहने के लिए कमाना छोड़ दिया ।

घर गुलज़ार, सुने शेहर

बस्ती-बस्ती में कैद हर हस्ती हो गई है ,

आज फिर ज़िंदगी मेंहगी,

और दौलत सस्ती हो गई है ।

The purest of all love

Title : The purest of all love

The bond that is the strongest and growing deeper each day.
The one who has always helped me to believe in dreams and in myself.
The back that I'll always have.
The one who is going to love me until my last breath.
This bond has a beginning, but there is never an end.

As I look back to see
I remember times spent on your knee.
The warm hugs, love and tenderness that keep me safe from harm.
I remember the way you say,
"If you could see what I see when I look at you, you'd definitely love you too".
"If you could see what I see when I look at you, you'd know there's nothing you can't do".
A firm but loving touch is what you gave me.
You helped me to learn to be strong and stand on my two feet.
And,
When I would look up into your eyes and all the love I would see.
I wonder,
How did I get so lucky,
You were the dad chosen for me.
You are my dad, my hero
You are the apple of my eyes.

In this ruthless world, full of fake people with their fake love
You are my true and eternal meaning of love and hope.
In every prayer I ask God,
Why did you called my dad so early?
Why did you left us alone?
And all I wish I could bring you back and never let you go.

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only god knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You would have never died.

Be the change you want to see

"Self-love is not only necessary and good, it is a pre - requisite for loving others."

We are always getting ready to live, but never living and that's because we are running behind someone or the others footstep or try to change ourselves according to the surrounding. And then we ponder on bringing change.                                 
Nothing changes until you change. We live in an externally focused world where we buy into the notion that our lives will change when we make more money or get a better car or achieve more status. And yet, when we receive things, we are left empty and unfulfilled. True success comes from inner success. Dedicate yourself to know who you truly are. Reconnect with your brilliance. Walk towards your fears. Evaluate the quality of your life and what you want it to stand for. Reflect on the beliefs that are limiting you and ponder where you've picked them up from. The best investment you will ever make is investing in your best self.

Aren't feelings greater than sex ?

Title : Aren't feelings greater than sex ?

Are sex greater than feelings ?
Until I was far away from infatuation
I wondered what's wrong with little cuddling?
What's wrong with holding hands and sitting for hours?
What's wrong in being with someone without physical cohabitation?
And this made me wonder,
Aren't feelings greater than sex?
But,
The voice inside me whispers to me like the wind whispers through the trees,
It pokes at the freckles on my face as if they were mountains in the sea,
It nags me awake at night as if my mind was unstoppable,
And all it says was never fall for sex,
Because feelings will always be greater than sex.

Since my idea of love is too real for this fake world.
I hide in my body as a dog hides from thunder,
I hide myself in my own cells,
I am hide myself from this unreal world.
Pushing my smile and happiness down into a hole,
In search of one permanent soul who would understand my silence better than my words.
Because the voice inside me always says feelings are much more than sex.

I hope you receive whatever you desire
I hope you receive healthy love
I hope you you can see it with your eyes and feel it in your bones
I hope you meet someone who knows how to love
I hope weak love lets your heart go and make your mind free
I hope you meet patience, dismiss, hatred and learn to forgive unappreciative love.
Above all I hope you love yourself because that's where love begins
And all I want you to know that love conquers all.
Because once you fall for feelings, the voice inside you will also tell you feelings will always be greater than sex.
