This is one of my earlier works but i thought i will post it anyway.So here goes:

A SLEEPLESS NIGHT

Here i wake up in the middle of the night
With an emptiness no company can assuage;
A void no music can fill;
A depression no drug can cure;
A joy no one can shatter;
A yearning no travel can end;
A feeling no words can describe;

Agony and ecstasy;
Pain and pleasure;
Noise and music;
Tears and a smile;
Joy unbounded ;
Emotions uncontrolled;
A thirst insatiable;

I try to reason out,to find,
The cause of all this.
Why a mere visit to my heart
Would cause it to swell
To burst forth and engulf the very soul

But deep down,
I know who you are :
How can i forget?


No matter how much i wish to,
You always find a way
To make me reminiscence
To wake up sleepless
With a pen in hand
And a pain in my heart
Writing things i cannot speak


I wish i could forget you
Alas!!!My love is too strong, too deep;
It would kill me to hate you;
So all i wish for now is
Someday you will read this and understand,
Comprehend how much i love you
waiting for that day.
