The Silent Assassin

She was dressed smartly
all in blacks.
I was caught off-guard
unaware of the impending attack.

Like moth to a flame,
I was drawn to her.
She noticed the victim vulnerable
& got ready to pull the trigger.

Her big dark eyes
seemed like an endless well.
I think she already knew
that I was under her spell.

Luscious lips, chubby cheeks, slim waist,
She had 'em all.
For her unmatched beauty,
I had taken the fall.

A rush of blood I felt,
as I touched her silken skin.
Drifting in the moment was I,
Good and bad seemed akin.

Her majestic dark hair
could turn day into night.
I bet she knew within minutes,
that I'll go down without a fight.

She moved with grace & pride.
It seemed nothing could block her way.
I wondered 'Had my time come?
Was this the day?'

And then She looked towards me.
Curling her lips into a breathtaking smile.
The bullet had been fired.
But ALAS! I wasn't in the firing line!

Th bullet cloaked as a smile
was meant for someone else.
No one ever knew my pain.
My heart cried in vain for help.

And so this tale ends
in utter despair brought by harsh reality.
That my heart had been a victim
Of a bullet that didn't even touch me.

'A Best Friend' .... The best friend??

For a long time in my life,
I didn't have a best friend.
But then I met someone,
who wanted to be together till the end.

Soon casual calls turned to hourly chats
with apparently no topic at all.
And intellectual jokes turned to
silly limericks like 'humpty dumpty sat on a wall.'

Every IM brought a pair of smiles
and long hours ran off in seconds.
But milk does turn sour after a while.
And all good things must come to an end.

The friendship ended in misconceptions
and she took an oath to never look back.
I had lost my best friend.
Was it less than a heart attack?

She probably has a better life now
with some fancy new best friend.
But I still look for answers...
Can broken pottery be mend?

But life stops for none.
What's been done is done.
The dark night will surely pass
and there will be a new bright sun.

Will this sun bring along new friends
one of whom, someday, I could call my best?
Will there be many to choose from?
Is this yet another one of life's tests?

Do I really want a new best friend?
The answers to this I seek.
Does 'THE BEST FRIEND' really even exists?
Can she be found in spite of the chances bleak?

Are best friends even that important?
Do they really take us far?
Today I stand 'best-friend-less'
Do I really like the way things are?

I want to be nobody's best friend
and none to be mine.
'Coz the last time a best friend & I broke up
letting her go sure took a lot of time.

The unforgettable tale of Titanic

Titanic - The ship of dreams
The ship many thought was unsinkable
The safest ship it seemed
Embarking on its maiden journey,All set to rumble

Holding 1520 souls on board
It set out for America's gate
But fate had something else in hold
Unknown misery laid dormant,in wait

Two people from completely different backgrounds
leading very different lives
With their fates soon to be intertwined
Set their feet on board for an unforgettable voyage

Rose DeWitt Bukater soon to be Rose Hockley
returning to America in an invisible cage
bounded in unseen chains of misery
Soon to be caged forever by a forced marriage

Jack Dawson,A man poor monetarily but a king at heart
Came to ride on the waves of the Atlantic
riding on the waves of fate
A vagabond,with another home he was happily parting

The cupid is known to strike unexpectedly,this was an example.
A bird finally found her wings and broke the cage
and flew around with her lover on the ship unsinkable
And then,fate's true cards were shown......

Titanic was struck by a mountain of ice
The wounded ship wouldn't stay afloat for long
The engines stopped roaring and to be heard were insane cries
Courage made way for cowardice,drowned in icy fear were men strong.

Titanic sank to the floor of the Atlantic
and so did thousands of men.
Over was the story that just started
Jack died too...and Rose mourned

But she was rescued just in time
Carpathia arrived and some lucky ones were saved
The ill-fated night was over and there was sunshine
But still thousands lay on the ocean floor dead

Though Jack and Rose couldn't stay together for long
But Jack did gave her a reason to have a fresh start
and his memories shall remain in her heart forever
Just as Titanic's memories shall remain in our hearts.

The plant that died

We met and became friends
and the seed was sown.
With constant love and care,
into a promising plant, it was grown.

With each passing second,
the plant grew stronger.
With every ounce of care
it's roots grew longer.

The harsh winds of misconception,
it faced without a scratch.
It grew so strong that even
storms of distrust were no match.

Then came the end
of a bond so pure.
You wanted to quit
& you wanted it no more.

You uprooted the plant
& left it in the scorching sun.
I watched & cried in vain
as the dismal act couldn't be undone.

I called and called
but you never replied
and our beautiful plant
had finally died.

Condemned - For the ones who have loved and lost

I always loved you I truly did
I dreamt of us together and u left in the mid
After that the dream was an agony
Which has become my destiny

I dreamt of you night and day
We walking on a beach and sitting on hay
But you left and turned my dream into a freaking nightmare
You were my love and now you are my greatest fear

U have left leaving me to such brutality
Seems breaking hearts is your specialty
I fail to understand how a human heart can be so bent
for you left,condemning me to lifetime punishment

I see you in my dreams every night
and these days my dreams give me terrible frights
I see you when I see two lovers together
And remember your fake promises to be together forever

Oh please stop this torture
For i have searched and found no cure
Leave my mind as I am already dimmed
For i have loved and lost and for this I am condemned
