Stay back for a while with me

Dear Reader

My next poem is “Stay back for a while with me”

This poem is about a girl who is in love with this boy, so very madly. But sadly for her, her love is busy in life’s serious affairs and has no time for her. She feels alone, lonely and betrayed. But still she tries to work on it.

She requests him for one last time to stay back with her and spend some time with her; just with her.

She complains that the time which otherwise was simply wasted could have been wasted with her.

She gives up all hope and says she wants to forget all the great moments they had together, but alas her heart doesn’t want to forget them. Her eyes and lips are longing to taste those wonderful moments they had together.

Finally she wonders if the worst thing has happened. She is scared to ask but still dares to ask if he is bored and tired with her.

She requests him for the one last time to stay back and spend some time with her.

Here’s if, hope you like it.


Stay back for a while with me

Just one time, oh this one last time.
Stay back for a while with me.
Never will i invite this grace time again
But this once you bestow upon me

Time otherwise vaguely wasted, by you
Set it aside and live it with me
Even still, you feel like wasting it
Then come along and waste it with me.

Wonderful moments I want to forget
But this heart doesn’t agree with me.
Eyes are searching, lips longing, to
Taste those times you had with me.

I wonder, but am scared to ask,
Are you bored and tired of me?
One last time, just once more will I ask
Stay back for a while with me.

Your Seven Deadly Notes

Dear Reader,

My next poem is “Your Seven Deadly Notes”

In this poem the poet shares his romantic experience he had with his one and only love; Music. He describes his love for music as if a man describes his love for a beautiful woman.

The poet says that the seven notes of music are so deadly that they can just kill him. He has so deeply plunged into music that he says that the seven notes will kill him but they will also take him to heaven to the everlasting life of paradise.

Each musical note will kill the poet one at a time, but the poet is ready to be born each time to be killed. He says the deaths he is dying are beautiful and worth dying for.

The poet wants to die holding music close to his heart at the time of death. Just like how a dying man wants to hold his woman’s hands and have the last kiss.

After the seven deaths the poet wants to rest in the paradise of music for ever as the musical notes still continue to tickle his eardrums, giving him goose-bumps and killing him softly over and over again

So dear reader, hope you like it.

Your Seven Deadly Notes


Seven times you killed me
With your seven deadly notes.
Ah! What beautiful deaths were they
As if fate had planned and wrote.

We were happy and we were sad
Like, you had planned it all the way.
Stole my life in a matter of seconds
And you fled blissfully faraway.

Seven times i took birth
Seven notes to live with
But you had to choose
Seven notes to die with

Nothing could change, nothing could alter
The path we once chose.
We had to live, or rather die
Holding hands, lips too close.

It so swiftly happened
In just one mighty blow.
In seconds life transformed to death
And everything moved so slow.

Now, as your notes play
Tickling my tender ear-drums.
In this paradisiacal home above
They give me a thousand Goosebumps.
