Love found !

  

As far as I could see, there was nothing but blue horizons and calm seas

Burning sun in the sky, and a soft warm breeze,

Not a cloud in sight,

And I saw the sea and sky so intimately unite,

It was a painting right out of my dream land

Like all the stars in the galaxy were in the palm of my hand,

And I sailed on the crystal clear waters, with all the memories I was trying to preserve,

I felt the impact as I hit the hidden iceberg,

The boat sank, and I began to sink too,

But then I saw myself rise to the surface…

I was being rescued by you,

In the matter of seconds, you managed to put everything else in the background,

And in the middle of no where, love was found.

Sandcastle and waves

  

I was a sandcastle, 

so hopelessly in love with the wave,

But it was all worth it,

because in the end, 

I had the entire ocean as my grave.
-Akanksha Gulia 

Quote

  

How can I expect to understand you,

when I don’t understand my own thought’s train,

One minute it’s all rainbows,

next moment it starts to rain.

You’re safe in my heart

  

It wasn’t until I realised I was losing my mind, 

one cell at a time, that I accepted 

I had to let you go,

So I opened my hand, and you slipped 

through my fingers like sand,

But every time I walked along the shoreline, 

there were particles of you everywhere, 

and I’d always carry you back with me.

On a second attempt, I screamed your name 

into the void, hoping it’ll somehow take away the pain,

But the eco kept bringing you back to me.

I even tried to burn your memories down to ashes, 

but the smoke became the air that I breathe.

and then I went to the end of this endless path, 

and buried you in the deepest pit I could dig,

But as I walked down that path, I realised, 

I also buried my heart, 

And as all my attempts of erasing you 

from my life failed,

I had to accept I can’t get rid of you.

You were never in my memories, or on my mind, 

in my hand or in the air that I breathe,

You were Me all along.

And how could I get rid of me?

And as my world seemed to be falling apart,

All I had to do was play my part,

accept you for what you are,

So from now on its a brand new me, and a brand new start,

and you… I’ll be keeping you safe in my heart.

The little things

  

I want to know the little things in life 

Like how the sun fell in love with the moon so immensely 

How the stars love the sky so intensely 

How the ocean came alive

How the ground still survives 

How the birds can fly

Can we paint a different colour in the sky?

Why doesn’t time stand still when moments seem to matter 

How a single touch makes the heart beat just a little faster

How a single gesture makes you fly in the sky 

while your feet still touch the ground 

How the seasons change, 

but beauty still surrounds

Do we really turn into stars when we die?

If we could fly, can we really touch the sky?

How do clouds feel if you hold them in your hand?

If the earth is round, do they somewhere meet? The sky and the land?

Perfect Imperfections

  

‘I see fire in you’

‘Yes I burn for you’

‘I see dark inside’

‘That’s where my demons reside’

‘I see you crying’

‘But I don’t want to, and I’m trying’

‘ I see so many broken pieces’

‘Yes, and that’s where my light increases’

‘I look at your heart, It’s a maze I see’

‘You can unlock me completely, if you hold the key’

‘I don’t know where to begin’

‘You’ll know, if you just give in’

‘How do I know you like me too?’

‘Can’t you see me leaving these crumbs of clue?’

‘What if I fail and loose’

‘You won’t, as long as my heart you don’t misuse’

‘Can I have you forever?’

‘If only you can promise me love, then yes, you can have me forever and ever’

‘What if you leave?’

‘How can I? Can’t you see me wearing my heart on my sleeve?

‘If the world tells you no, would you say yes?’

‘I’ll say ‘now and forever’, about the world, I couldn’t care less’

‘I’m scared, but I can’t help it, I have to ask’ 

‘You’re making it sound like a task’

‘Here goes everything… ‘

‘But I see nothing’

‘Just let me complete…

I wanna bring the world at your feet 

I wanna make that heart beat

I wanna love you till I die

I wanna be that guy

Who makes you fly high in the sky

If I can’t, I would still try’

‘Wait, why are you on your knee?’

‘Baby, How else will I ask you to marry me?’

Untamed

 

I move with the wind Darling 

I flow with the river

I’m that fire burning in you 

And even that shiver

They call me an Angel

They call me the Devil too

They say I’m a wild heart, 

In the dark, my light shines through

So many things I’ve been named 

But not once tamed

So if you think you can… I would love to see you try

Every time you try and pull me down, you’ll see me reach for the sky

If Love is the disease,

Then Love is the cure too.

New Beginnings…

Just like that,

You came into my life

Made me see I had my back towards the sun light

this whole time

As my shadow fell before me,

It was all disappointment I felt

I thought fate was too cruel to let its heart melt.

But as I turned around,

the light brought back the life in me,

And as I opened my eyes,

There you were…

Ring in your hand, You were on one knee

It was engraved too, it read,

‘I’ll be your eternity, nothing less.’

I guess I finally moved on to you,

When I opened my mouth to say, ‘Yes’

-Akanksha Gulia

Be the one who tried, then the one that wishes he had

One day we’ll all separate from one another

One day we’ll all be dust in the wind

One day we’ll all be free from what ties us today

And when that day comes, we’ll see what we made of the time we had. 

When we are old and siting in the corner with wet eyes looking at pictures,

as they become the pain you feel in your chest every day.

Your today will decide whether that picture is a stand alone or someone in your arms

Your today will decide whether those tears will be tears of joy to have known and loved that face in the picture, 

or to cry wising you had done things differently.

Live with the one you love in a small tree house with wild berries as food,

then die alone in a ruined castle.

Because when that day comes, your failures won’t matter,

What will matter is that you tried.

If you never tried, that one mistake will haunt you, 

Even when your mind forgets everything, your name, even your own face.

It’ll haunt your days and nights, your reality and your dreams, 

It’ll slowly kill you while you pray and beg to forget that moment.

Who’s to judge you? What are you so afraid of? People?

Since when has your life been less about you and more about People.

When that day comes, no one will matter to you, 

You don’t see a way right now because the people are the dark clouds blocking your vision

But when that day comes, all you’ll see is that you never even tried, 

You’ll see that those dark clouds were temporary, 

You’ll realise that those dark cloud hid behind them light itself,

Had you been brave enough to wipe those cloud off of your eyes, you would’ve probably seen the light.

When that day comes, you’ll see that the way was so simple and clear, but you turned back at the first sight of a dumb.

What are you so afraid of? Failure?

You stumbled and fell countless times when you walked your first step. 

Had you given up then, you would probably be living a life worth not living.

It took some thorns to prick your finger, till you learned which one was rose.

Had you given up on the first sight of blood drop, you would have never known the beautiful soothing touch of a flower. 

So try today, 

Try knowing that nothing will matter, if you fail, try again for something new.

If you succeed, would you look back anyway?

With all the purity and good in your heart, TRY.

Because regret is a place where God doesn’t reside.
