If Only...

I wonder at the innumerable "If Only's" that come with life

If only, there was no spatial distance,
we could have been together.
If only, I was given one more chance,
I could have proved myself.
If only, we were sincere enough,
we wouldn't break up.
If only, I had enough friends,
I could have managed the heart break.
If only, working overnight could help,
I would have excelled in my work.
If only, death was predictable,
I would have loved my parents more.
If only, I had enough confidence,
I would have staged my best performance.
If only, we had faith in God,
we wouldn't suffer the loss.
If only, I knew the value of expressions,
I would have expressed my love.
If only, I could turn back time,
I would relive every moment without the "If Only".

Living Miles Away

From love letters we have come to love messages,
It appears that the feeling is lost in time.

There were times when lovers would stay away from each other for months,
in some cases, these months would turn into years,

but love remained constant.

An easy access to ultra technological advancements has made love instant,

An instant coffee with instant love.
You know what's happening at the other end, all the time.

Earlier, love came with a little mystery, and an intense longing,

A longing to know, a mystery to unfold, all the time.

One letter in a month would add joy in one's life,

But now, a hundred messages wouldn't match up with that one letter.

This classic love,

love letter,

has it's own undying charm,

Living miles away is no harm.
Dream of the moments, long to drown in the ocean of love,

Wait to be carried away...

The choice is yours,

Loving instantly or Loving consistently?

The Net Curtain in My Lover's Window

She sitting all by herself lissome and demure,

he looking at her with eyes that were innocent and pure.

The distance between them was not much,

the net curtain sent a sensation of love as such.

Never had the two been so close,

it seemed as if she would dose.

Dose in his arms,

as if she had been the victim of his charms.

The room was dimly lit,

this made the two comfortably fit.

The curtain as a barrier existed no more,

they found in each other a serene and calm composure
