When people you know behave so cold one day, You question yourself ‘ why?’ You start blaming yourself for all the mistakes, Slowly, you realise it was all a drama, Everyone vanished and you were left on your own, Silences over took my body and sealed my lips, I walked down the streets lonely trying to smile, The echo of violins melted my heart smoothly, Sitting at the airport all alone, waiting for my flight, I notice how people in groups smile and joke, Hoping I had the same, my eyes showered tears, He loved me, he promised to be my only for eternity, But he left me one day, abandoning me middle of the road, They called themselves my best friends but they lied, For they never cared about my presence ever, Lip services were carried out but nothing practical,I was called ‘selfish’ , I smiled and listened to their words, Selfish for being too considerate and emotionally wrecked, When people you know finally leave you, it’s the end, But a new beginning of your isolation takes off, It to...

I am a corpse in flesh and blood, yet surviving, living, not thankless to God but lonely. I am made feel emotionally dead, empty, so unwanted, I was the life of every gathering and circle but now no-one wants to know me, they fake sympathy and friendship, I was full of life, dancing around and smiling and spreading joy and sharing, but now I am lonely, This carnival is full of faces, unknown names, so noisy yet sounds so silent, I am a corpse, I need to live again, to feel I am not dead before my body has crashed in grave, This body is but a cage, the freedom is gained when I fly higher beyond your thoughts, And leave this cage behind, it's shackles of emotions and misunderstandings, Always labelled so badly, called ugly names and called a cheat and betrayer, I smile and listen to these words and my lips read their comments silently, Hiding my tears in my eyes, saying to God, why did I have to be here? Coz no matter what you do, these people will always call me bad names to their...

Standing by the shore tonight, I feel so cold full of fright, Imagining how you disrespected my love, I have never felt so alone, For a moment, I feel your with me, Your fragrance of Dhehnel-Oud passes by, I am mesmerised and totally in love, Kissed by the moon- light and cold weather, The shores totally drifted me away, Sitting on the cold sand, I am building a sand castle, Where my dreams reside silently, Cheated, betrayed and bruised, I am emotionally empty within, Felt it was true love, you & me, But less did I know, it was a lie, Living a lie for such a long time, Believing you were mine, I escaped and burnt my wings, Surrounded by your memories, It feels to hard to let go of you, Close my eyes and wake up to afresh, I wish it were so easy to let go of love, But for now,I am so emotionally damaged, Waiting to be healed by true love.. Coz now I realise, I was never in love but only cheated By me Image courtest- www.studioeb.com

I am the Queen and the Ace and I will never compromise beyond this level ever. I love playing hard to get and being myself coz being too nice means being an easy catch..My rules, my games, my cards, my choice, you play, just you and me.. The game is about to begin.. Wait and watch... Yours Arabian Oud R

Is marriage the key to happiness in an adult's life, or is marriage simply just a must coz our religion & society says so? coz they think we would be lonely in the end,, but is it fair to be married and be unhappy in tht marriage? should we get married coz we are pressured by our social circle, once we start seeing our friends, cousins getting married at the same time and we question if we are lonely? is marriage about endless compromises from 1 end, where the husband or wife , one of them is trying to make the other happy? is marriage about just playing fixed roles as we are instilled by our societies, the man gets to be a husband only and the woman is a wife only? can that relationshp be special, if you are more like friends rather enacting in a certain fixed notion? , is marriage a car which runs on 4 wheels, which is balanced by a husband and a wife?? is marriage about fidelity and changing for the best or worst? does the younger generation want to take something like mar...

People often judge a book by it's cover, they say ' never judge a book by it's cover' and that's true and that so applies to human beings as well. In the age of modernisation and urbanisation and materialism, we are becoming more capitalist and only judge a person by his wealth only. Wealth maybe important, but it doesn't guarantee someone is chaste, pure, pious or of good character for that sake.. People often come to you if your beautiful and handsome, they try and flirt with you, and wanna be more close to you for that fact. Over the past few months, I have come across a lot of people who wanna know me only cause of my looks and not coz what or who I am.. The marriage of beauty and brains is incomplete if someone is only looking and liking at you for your looks. I credit that purely as 'lust' and nothing to do with your personal qualities. Never judge me by the look, my looks maybe deceiving, try and know me first before plunging to saying 'I like...

Beloved, words failedAnd drained me,horrible silence One in my plight is never blamed As patience finds no place My soul, wracked by passion In its paradise, morning to sunset Beloved, There is no doctor to cure your ailment If the doctor is your illness And who may settle your case If your judge be your adversary? I awake bewildered, as I sleep And my tormentor is my beloved BelovedI leant back against the darkness In the night of longing, alien I shed countless tears From heartbreak heavily flow Tasted not the anguish of love Who say tears bring shame Beloved Begrudge me greetings Yet if my eyes you request, I grant, Torturing one you love, a sin Oh if only with mercy you rewarded How benefits one who dies of thirstIf after him rained heavily? -A stunning poem written by Sheikh Mohammed-
