Those dreamy tales Of knights and damsels I blame For my unrealistic expectations. The ones that told me To wait To be saved With patience and poise. What they didn't tell Was the harsh truth That all knights were busy Saving themselves. So if a damsel Waited too long, She'd rather be prepared For her [...]

Benefit of Doubt
Maybe, you will. Maybe, you won't. But till when do you want me To give you the benefit of doubt? Maybe, you are trying. Maybe, you are not. But till when do you want me To hang by around hoping? Maybe, your every word is true. Maybe, it's all a big lie. But till when [...]
Faith
Our having faith Doesn't make anything easier. On the contrary, It makes everything crazier. We believe in stuff We can't see or touch. We give our time and thoughts To it a bit much. We hope, We yearn, We beg, Till we learn. Having faith Is a two-way street, Where our desires and hard work [...]
The Moon
That big white ball In the night sky Takes me by surprise Every single time. It makes me feel So small and vulnerable, Even though it is So very far. That proud luminance In the midst of utter darkness Can stump my pride Like a paper crumpled. A strange symbol Of romance and tranquillity, It [...]
Like My Mother
You are my friend, Not my mother. But why is it that so often You remind me of her? You are my age, Not my mother's. But why do your advices Seem like those from her? You are the one I tell What I definitely can't to my mother. But why is your being fine [...]

V-Day Run-up: 6. Monica and Chandler
Knew each other forever, Yet it never occurred to them That what they were crazily looking for In every twist and turn Was just across the hall. Maybe, it was the over-familiarity That stopped the other From seeming dreamy exotic. But at times, reality Is sweeter than a thousand dreams. He was her friend Who [...]
V-Day Run-up: 5. Fatmagul and Kerim
She was the rape-victim. He was one of the accused. How could they ever have a story? But, they did. She was devoid of trust. He was pleading his innocence. How could they ever fall in love? But, they did. She had lost all hope. He had lost his dreams. How could they have a [...]
V-Day Run-up: 4. Meredith and Derek
They may not be Together any more. But hardly any couple Makes it to forever after. At least what finally Had the power to separate them Was nothing short of death, Even though a part of her died with him. For the time they had, They weaved together a saga Of romance, heartache and drama, [...]
V-Day Run-up: 2. Rachel and Ross
He yearned for nothing more than her attention in high school. She yearned for everything but him. He got ready to take her to the prom when her date didn't arrive. Unaware, she rushed out the moment her date arrived an hour late. He was left heart-broken when his first wife left him. She left [...]
