Sruthakirti Writes

Dreams aren't something that should let you sleep, I have heard that, But dreaming about you, Is the only thing I look forward to at night. Dreams where we are happy with each other, Dreams where we are happy in life, But that dreams sometimes turn into nightmares, When I see the reality, Where we are not together, Where we are not happy with each other, Where we are not happy in life, Or sometimes nightmare is where, I wake up in the morning, Knowing that you aren't there anymore, To be called mine. - SRUTHAKIRTI M

A blank canvas,  A bright palette, His hand begins to write,   A masterpiece is created. Each stroke of his brush,  A story is told,  A peep into the soul of his beloved,  A sight he could not look away from,  A transient moment of her that he saw, He wasn't sure, if he could see her again, So he makes the canvas breath. As the paint dries, He touches the painting as it's her face, He stares into her deep black eyes, And wishes her presence. Far away, he hears the sound of wedding bells, He wonders if he and his beloved could ever be together. There in that far away land, Is a lady, Someone's beloved getting married, And he didn't realise, That his beloved was with him only, Now that he lost her, he yearns for her, And there is no turning back.

Who would be the one, Worthy of me? Should be quick witted, Taste in sarcasm is important, A pinch of dark humour, Should never whine about things, The perfect recipe, For this imperfect me. Too many demands from a girl like me they said, Didn't heed to it, Didn't care for their opinion. Found the perfect boy, I finally ticked off all the boxes, His height is also perfect! But when has the universe ever sided with yearning lovers? He is so in love with her, That he never once glanced at me, While I drooled over him. I was told that I had lack of self respect, Going for a guy who never looked at you, A guy who would never want you, Didn't heed to it, Didn't care for their opinions. Now I call him mine, And he calls me as his queen  ~SRUTHAKIRTI M
