The Criminal


Here's a story.. of a criminal...

The love for her made him crazy

She'd made a difference

The others were eye candies

But she, yes made a difference


He'd stare at her as she talked

Hoping she'd never notice it at all

All that love for her in his eyes


And she laughed back too

Glad of the attention

That her laughter gathered..


She was highly fond of him, yes

But was that any more, she doubted!

He'd think on about her

And observed her well enough

To get her thoughts and speak them out

That'd enchant her just like the magician

Putting out rabbits from the hat


She'd ask him to hop

And hop he would..

without a reason really !


She'd wait on for his call

And would bother if he wouldn't talk

She wouldn't accept that,

but her fondness grew steadier by the day

And even more by the night


He spoke to her veery minute

of the day that he could steal

And she blushed and flushed

everytime that happened


She started loving his tone

The tender way in which

He called out her name

But was too proud to speak that out

But it mattered more to her

that she cared to accept


He got a bag for her

And wanted to surprise her so

But his innocent fondness

Still made him tell her that..

And this impatience made her blush


It'd all been contained and unspoken

Until a night of alcohol

Spilt it all out

And things changed as never before


He openly accepted what he felt

But she was still afraid

Because she didn't know if it was

Fondness, complulsion, desperation or love

She never committed anything to him

Out of fear of wronging him


She knew how much he felt for her

And so did she care..

But still scared to go ahead..


But he made her comfortable

Made her bask in his love

Made her easy as never before


She could see herself warming to him

But her question to herself

was yet unanswered

She knew not the answer

But he knew her so well..

And he knew what it was

And hoped against hope


And out she went

To know the answer

She faced her fears and found them right through

And she hugged them, facing her conscience


Then shamefully hung her head

Down in front of him


Wronged him she had,

Or had she?

Yet lie low she must

For he only loved her

more and more..


She felt bad, but was proud to show so

Hence she hurt him, hoping he'd slow

Hurt he was, but love couldn't go..


He loved her more as she felt guilty

Of liking him first and walking off next

But if that was right,

what else could she do?


It hurt her to face him

But she'd liked him true, and felt responsible

Would never have had faced him,

Had she not felt so !


The criminal, my friends..

Was it he or she?

My high head down in shame unfortunately,

That criminal was Me.

To Life..!

You surround me
As you always will.

You'll tease me when I groan
And you'll applaud me at times.

You'll see my raging anger
Behind my flawlessly calm face
And my turbulent tears
Behind the cheeriest of my smiles.

You'll also see my faith in you
When you yourself strike me.

You'll laugh as you trouble me
Yet you'll respect me as
I strike them troubles aside.

You'll be charmed in my pious white
Yet you'll paint me black and smirk.

You will love me each time
I love you more.

You shall help me even when
I'm too proud to take your help.

You give me the red cloth
And you're the mad charging bull
Yet you'll be honoured as I face you
And take you by the horns.

You maternal smile
when I stay stubborn as a child,
And your humble bow to my acts
which you yourself have taught me.

You steal my hungry stomach's morsel
And you salt my wounds.

You surround me with friends
and cheat me as you take them all away.

You teach me to love
And you love it when I lose it..
Yet you make me fall in love
again and again and again...

What are you exactly,
I know not.

You drive me with a mad ambition
To master you.
Yet you humble me down to my knees.

You'll act as such to make me angry at you
You'll even make me hate you

But you've yourself taught me
To love you in a million ways

For you it is who makes me
And you alone is what's truly mine !
