I know you love your girl,
And I know you love to hold her hand,
While she crosses the road,
You love to hold her tight,
...

Sitting alone in thedark, Irecollected From night to the dawn
The sleepless night and the ferocious fright
Restless days and the harsh rays
That I may cease to live, oh Percy
...

So am I broken?
Have you left my heart broken, my soul shattered?
Do I cry, am I hurt?
Yes, I am, for I still miss you.
...

O solitude! If you with me roam,
Take me to the gardens of the nature,
Wherein the sun on my head,
Shed its light and not heat,
...

Do not bring flowers to my grave when I die,
Buy me a single rose on my birthday when I am still alive,
And that will be enough.
...

Fear and not honor,
I want from thee, my countrymen;
For love and honor,
In its greatest of forms too,
...

You mourn?
You weep? You cry over my departure?
You look for me in the stars?
...

Things change, relations change
Attachments are made,
Attachments are broken
We smile, we cry
...

When hate first visited me, I was waiting for love,
I was writing digital greeting cards, I was daydreaming,
I was exploring new emojis, I was counting my abnormal heartbeats
...

So you do late night parties,
Sleep till 12 in the morning,
Eat whatever you feel like,
...

O fellow traveller!
Catch a glimpse of me
I, too, am walking with thee
Hold on, i am a bit slow, fellow traveller.
...

Across the river, were waves,
so harsh, so severe
The tranquility, the calmness
was yet to arrive,
...

Let us all stop for a moment, stand still
And turn our beliefs upside down,
Let us for a moment make ourselves
The villains of our own stories,
...

Death beholds us,
Even when we are alive,
At the mark of seventy
Or, at five.
...

Amidst the roar, silence spoke.

Underneath the dark night
Of shining stars, are three innocent faces,
...
