Mood swings

My heart is sad because of you
My eyes are wet because of you
My nights are sleepless because of you
My dreams are lifeless because of you
Ah...
My heart learnt sadness
Because of the happiness in you
My eyes went wet
Because of the delight in you
I had sleepless nights
But I saw the moonlight
My dreams went dead
But I experienced the fantasy flight
Still...
Why don’t you let me live or die?
Why don’t you let me laugh or cry?
Why don’t you let me feel or numb?
Why don’t you let me stand or plunge?
Sigh...
I learnt to live though I want to die
I learnt to laugh though I want to cry
I felt numb, but I could sense
I fell, but I stood once

Vineet's love

This one is from Vineet, a researcher, blogger and friend. He is the same guy who motivated me to start a blog. This is what he has to say on 'love'. I guess his maiden venture to poetry.

Love grows with distance,
full blown on return.
Love surges with resistance,
explodes when set free.
To pain, when separated, is Love
To pain, till united, is True Love
Love, complex as it may be,
people yearn for a bit of it, even the Gods.
Love given, is the virtue of the giver.
Love received, is the greatest of all gifts.
Love speaks, not what you love to hear,
instead, what you need to hear.
The world will reach its zenith,
Because Love gets the best in you.
Love is blind to the ills of your nature,
Because it sees only the best of you,
Like the starving dog watching his master's home.
To lend a hand, to the least among you,
is nothing, but Love.
To see heaven in a wild flower, sang the bard,
Yes, that is Love.
