The world has changed so much.
But has it changed for better?
Swords are replaced by bullets .
But the killing goes on .
The thirst for blood of a fellow human being
still remains the same .
Advanced Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Drones are meant to make our life better,
But haven't they also made killing much easier ?
It really makes me wonder ,
Has the world really changed for better?
All the grief,
all the pain –
I accept it
with both hands,
for it was given
to me
by the one
I love
To accuse someone without knowing

the whole truth is a crime in itself.
Blue Sapphire Jul 12
A happy face I saw– unknown,
yet it felt so familiar,
like someone I have known,
That smile, that face,
why can't I forget?

Were you for real,
or just a dream
my waking eyes
happened to see?
Translation of my Hindi poem–एक चेहरा.

When my eyes met yours,
my heart felt a unique feeling.  

Is this the feeling
that the world calls love?
English translation of my  Hindi poem – एक अहसास
Blue Sapphire Mar 23
I am afraid ,
not of dying,
but to be born again .

I am afraid ,
not of my enemies ,
but to fall in love again.

I am afraid,
not of death,
but to live one more life
with a broken heart.
When the world

turns against you,

who do you

turn to?
Blue Sapphire Mar 13
In darkness,
be the light in someone's life.
Lend a helping hand,
You surely will make a new friend.
If someone loves you,
Honour that love.
For love isn't a commodity,
You can buy.
To the one you love,
Give the gift of time.
Spread a smile,
In someone's life.
Your life will be truly worthwhile.
After all,  what is life's worth,
If it can't make someone's life better.
Blue Sapphire May 17
Any day is a good day
when spent with honesty
and a little bit of love.
Blue Sapphire Jul 13
I tried hard to forget,
never to look back,
not to stay still, but move on –
Yet, all roads lead me
back to your heart.

You went away from my life,
now, you are out of my sight,
but you continue to reside in my heart.

My world is not yours anymore,
your heart doesn't feel my love anymore,
you have shut me out of your life,
erased all my memories of the past.

Yet...all my efforts failed me,
for all the roads lead me
back to your heart.
I have no riches
to win your heart,
No power
to make you mine.

All I have
are my words .
With them, I will build
a love bridge .

There,
one day,
someday,
our hearts will meet.


Hopefully.
A message from a distant star
reached Earth after a few million light -years.
It says,"I love you my Little Blue Dot,
see you in a million years."

I know not what you seek.
Don't understand the language
you speak.
All I know is,
you  possess a heart of gold–
a precious treasure
that cannot be sold.

Your kindness is like,
an unending river.
Wherever you go,
you spread love
and pleasure like a gentle breeze.

You are bound to no one,
yet you belong to everyone
whomever you touch.
Who are you,  
an enigma that I seek?
Blue Sapphire Apr 29
I saw an Angel in my dream.
She said she would fulfill any wish I have.
"Should I make you the best ?"she asked.
"No,"said I.
"Just a little better than yesterday.
That will do."
I saw a light in your heart,
that is how I fell in love.
Your light sparked a fire of desire
in my heart.

Douse this fire with a shower of your love,
or watch it burn to ashes of love.
In a unique galaxy
somewhere in the universe,
special stars lived there,
big and small alike.

One day, a lost asteroid
found itself among those stars.
The stars were kind;
they let it stay there,
and one fine night
turned it into a star.

Now it is shining bright.
Blue Sapphire May 12
A dying heart

drenched by a shower of love

came back to life.
Miles of sand,
scattered seashells,
a few starfish lying around,
I think I saw a white pearl too.

The beautiful blue ocean,
in front of my eyes,
touching the blue sky on the horizon.

Waves touch my feet,
carrying away some sand beneath.
A ship sailing in the distance,
a gentle breeze blowing,
as if playing with my hair.

Time flew by.
As the sun begins to set
the sky turns into a canvas
showcasing a myriad of colours.

A crescent moon appears,
with a twinkling star by its side.

It was my time to say goodbye —
after a well-spent time, not wasted.
Blue Sapphire May 29
As the day broke,
I took a walk through
the trail in a forest.
The golden rays of the sun
penetrated through the thick canopies.
The soft sound of a cascading brook,
broke the silence of tranquility.
A little walk downwards,
as I followed the sound,
I found
a beautiful waterfall in all its glory
as if it had been waiting for me,
a beautiful, serene picture
to capture in memory.
Blue Sapphire Apr 24
Let my heart fill with joy.
Let go of all the sorrows.
If hope keeps the world alive,
fill my heart with hope.

Your memories still bring tears to my eyes,
please remove them from my heart.
Set my aching heart free,
let it be whole again.
Blue Sapphire Jun 11
One day, I was sitting idle,
feeling so lost, so lonely,
wishing for a friend
who would sit by me,
listen to me and make me smile.

A thought crossed my mind-
why not create a new friend?
So I decided to create one.

I took out my paints, brushes,
and a pristine canvas.
I painted a portrait of a girl.

Flowing hair, gentle eyes and
a beautiful calming smile.
I named her Ayliz (The Moon).

Now, every time I feel
lonely and sad,
I speak to her,
and she silently listens.
Her smile has healing power -
it makes me feel better.
Blue Sapphire May 31
Politics create barriers.

Art builds bridges.
All that is beautiful is not treasure.
All that is broken is not trash .
Ask any broken heart
It will tell
It is beauty that breaks hearts.
Blue Sapphire Jun 13
If you're not beautiful,
be thankful -
for beauty is a mask
that hides the real you.

People who love you
will always see the beauty in you,
no matter how you look.
Blue Sapphire Apr 21
Between life and death,
lies an empty space,
a playground for love
where hearts run wild.
Why follow when you can lead the way,
Lose your way you may, but never lose hope.
Accept challenges, never surrender,
Every time you fall, rise a little higher.
When one door closes for you, find a new one.
Love you may not find, but always look to earn someone's trust.
When you see a dark cloud,
Remember there is a rainbow around.
Don't be afraid of the dark night,
For, the night is the darkest
Just before sunrise.
To be the black sheep of the family —
what a terrible thing to be.

All the neighbors and relatives
heap praise on my super-successful siblings
and hurl insults at me
at the first chance they get.

I know all too well –
it is their jealousy of my siblings' success
that they take it out on me.

If success is measured by
money and fame,
I am not going to take that bait –
I am happy as I am.

Insult me all you can,
I can take it all in.
For you can only give
what you have,
and for that reason
I forgive you.

I remain the black sheep
of my family–
by choice,
at peace and forever free.
Blue Sapphire Jun 26
I always loved blue–
the blue sky
the blue ocean
my little blue pen.
I painted oceans on canvas
in various shades of blue.

But today, I am blue with
every bitter memory I have
of you.

Don't break a heart





Just take a break....
Blue Sapphire Apr 21
We break a piece of glass....unintentionally.
We break a loving heart....intentionally.

When a glass breaks,
it makes a sound.
When a heart breaks,
it cries in silence.
Blue Sapphire Mar 10
There's a pain in my heart
It doesn't go away
Does it hurt because it's broken?
Or is it because you are the reason
Is this what you called love?
Making promises and then leave,
Tearing my heart apart.
My heart is pure, so was my love for you
You were too blind to see
Lucky are those who are being loved
Someday perhaps, it will be my time
To be loved.
When a relationship
feels like a burden and
trust is found wanting

Break it before
it breaks you.
Blue Sapphire Mar 16
Come back ,
Or give me my life back.
You took all I had.
Come back ,
You are all I have.
Blue Sapphire Jun 20
Loving you was my crime.

You punished me for life.
Dark clouds come and go,
but the sun always stays.

Yet every dark cloud manages
to leave behind a scar–

one that even the blazing sun
can neither erase nor hide.
Blue Sapphire May 15
Darkness has taken over the mind
Not a glimmer of light to be found
Smile has faded away
Giving way to the teary eyes
Life has lost its purpose now.
Blue Sapphire Jun 27
You said I had
a diamond heart.

Is that why
you crushed it –
thought it wouldn't hurt?
Blue Sapphire Mar 24
Do not knock,
The door of my heart is locked.
Once,  it was a glorious place
Filled with the love of my dearly beloved,
and the soft sound of my heartbeats.
Now, it's empty and silent.
Graveyard of a dead love.
A forbidden place for lovers.
Please, do not knock
You can't enter
The door to my heart is locked forever.
Don't call me back
consider me dead
if it helps you forget.

I am not coming back
I live in the shadows now
far away from your heart's reach.
I have created walls
you cannot breach.
Blue Sapphire Apr 19
I am broken,
don't fix me.
If you find me in pieces,
don't collect me.
I am replaceable,
just replace me.
It's quite easy.
Why do you worry so much?

A stalker cannot breach your heart.

For, the moment you keep someone
in your heart,

your love itself becomes a shield,
protecting your heart from all evil.
Blue Sapphire Mar 29
I saw her walking on a full moon night ,
Wearing a silver gown ,
Her face shining like a brilliant star .
She looked at me and smiled .

I stood ,wondering who she was .
Soon, I found her standing next to me .
She greeted me with her embrace,
and a kiss upon my lips.

Alas! I  woke up -
It was only a dream.
Blue Sapphire Jun 20
If humans had no emotions,

poetry wouldn't have existed.
Blue Sapphire Apr 25
Once I dreamed of a world
filled with canvas and colours.
A dream to bring to life,
blank canvases with various shades and hues.
To let my paint brush speak for me.
To use up all my time,
to create landscapes, seascapes and portraits.

A distant dream it was, now broken.
My canvas remained blank,
my palette remained empty.
Never looked at any other face again,
nor did I travel the road of love again.
Locked up my heart, once and for all,
for you were, are and always will be,
my one true love.
The Sun shone brightly and then,
disappeared behind the horizon.
Stars twinkled all night and then,
they too disappeared.
Storm came and gone,
leaving behind a trail of destruction.
But my love for you stayed like a rock,
never faded nor disappeared.
Blue Sapphire Jun 10
A man, dejected
with a broken heart,
snapped all the ties
from his world,
roamed about places
one to the next
in search of peace.

One day he found himself
in a distant Fairy Land.
The fairies were surprised
to find him amongst them.
One fairy asked him
what he wanted.
Taken aback by the question
he said ,"A new heart."
The fairy said,"Don't worry, we do have a heart shop."
She took him there.
There he saw all kinds of hearts-
Some made of gold, some of silver,
and some normal too.

In another corner he saw
a collection of broken hearts
beautifully kept.
Out of curiosity he asked the fairy
why they kept those broken hearts.
She smiled and said,
"They are the epic story tellers."
Amazed by her words,
he left with his broken heart
back to his world.
Blue Sapphire Apr 11
I
fell
in
love
in
an
instant

  
and


I
am
still
falling.
Blue Sapphire Jul 14
If you ever fall down,

think of yourself

as a waterfall.
Blue Sapphire Apr 15
If I love you enough ,
my love will find a way
to your heart .

No,I don't believe in miracles -
it is my love
that I trust.
You said, "It's over"
as if it was dinner .

It is love,
it is forever.
