In a faraway land,
there was a place
called Forgetland.
It was a place where
people could have their
memories erased.
Many people,
burdened with sad memories,
went there.
Among them were
two friends.

When they reached there,  
they were called
one by one.
One of the friends
went first, and
returned after a while.
He looked happy.

His friend was happy
to see him happy too,
and went to greet him.
He asked him how he felt.
He replied, "I am feeling very happy,
but who are you?"

Forgive me if you can

or see me die in pain.
Blue Sapphire Mar 27
You cannot keep me chained.
You can't clip my wings .
I will not surrender.
I won't accept defeat .
I will break free .
I  will fly away .

I am freedom.
Blue Sapphire May 14
Air we need
It's free for all.

Freedom we want
It comes with a price.
Strong as a rock,
Unbreakable like a promise.
Yes, it is friendship -
A bond built on trust.

Once made, never broken
The older it gets ,
Stronger it becomes .
Far or near, always there .

Seasons come and go,
But friendship remains intact.
Never fades away nor disappears ,
Stays with you like the Sun -

Always shining bright
To brighten up your life
Removing all the dark clouds
Away from your life.
This one is for you Immortality. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Blue Sapphire Apr 26
Dear Shane, you will get well.
You have a long battle ahead.
Fight it with all your might.
Don't give up.

Look straight into the eye of death.
Tell it to go back.

Ask death to come -

when you are 100 years old,
when all your hair turns silver,
and all your teeth fall off.

That is when you will meet death, smiling.
We are with you. Keep on fighting.
Life has turned gloomy now.

Poetry is my only light.

I share it with the world.
Gone too soon,
too far away,
far beyond reach,
without saying goodbye.
Only memories are left now.
Blue Sapphire Mar 15
Don't say your goodbyes yet.
You have a long journey ahead.
Not everyday will be sunny.
Some of the days will be gloomy.
You will feel so lonely.
On such a day,
Remember someone is there,
Who will sing you a happy song
To lift your mood.
Dance funny to make you laugh.
Stand by you to let you know,
You are not alone .
Will hold your hand ,
Won't let you fall .
Don't forget ,
Don't say goodbye, just yet.
Blue Sapphire Apr 23
"Forget about him.
Let him go.
Don't think.
Just let go,"
So they say.

"Well ,why not?" I said
"How hard can it be?"

I kept thinking about forgetting him,
then fell asleep.
There he was again,
smiling in my dream,
as if saying, "Happy forgetting."
Why don't the heart and mind
speak the same language?

Is it because-

the mind matures
and
the heart remains a child?
Blue Sapphire Mar 25
Once I was asked..if I could,
would I trade my broken heart with a perfect new heart ?
As tempting as it was,
I said I would not.
"Strange", he said. "Why not?"
With a smile I replied

"It is my broken heart that has turned me into a poet.
Each time it aches, emotions flows like a river
from where a beautiful new poem is born ,
which then I share with the world,
to bring them a moment of joy. "
The walls that are
invisible to the eye
are the hardest
ones to break.

Hold on to hope

someday, one day,

everything will be all right.

Love will find its way

to your heart.
Blue Sapphire Apr 12
In despair,

when breathing
feels like a crime
do not give up.

When everything feels lost
hold on to hope

Keep it burning -
the candle of hope

A little hope and
a little courage

will pull you through....

       even hell.
Blue Sapphire Apr 19
She said, "I am afraid ."
He said, "Why? I am here."
She said, "That is why."
Blue Sapphire Jun 12
You are the sun,
I am your mirror.
I reflect your light
back to you.

Your rays touch me -
mine never reaches you.
Blue Sapphire Apr 22
I can be what you want me to be.
I can be how you want me to be.
Chained to you and not be free.

                      But-

Will you be able to love me
if I am not me...

                   truly?
Blue Sapphire May 30
If I were to leave tomorrow,
would you ever remember me?
would you visit my grave -
Is that how you'd remember me?
Or would you turn me
into a poem of yours,
and keep me alive through you?
Blue Sapphire May 27
How do I fix,
what I broke?
How do I make it right
all that went wrong?
How do I make it up to you
for all that I messed up?

If only I could
turn back time,
change everything back
exactly as it was,  
give you back
your peace and quiet-
the peace
you so rightly deserve.
If we choose to be
we can be:

the voice of the voiceless,
the strength of the weakest,
a glimmer of hope for the hopeless,
a ray of light in darkness.
Blue Sapphire Apr 15
If you were to ask
why I write
so much about love

Well, what can I say -

The Taj Mahal is my inspiration.
from India, with love.
Blue Sapphire Jun 10
Perfection is-
an imperfect word
in this imperfect world.
Our meeting was nothing short of an accident.
We developed a friendship, out of nowhere.
The time we shared together was filled with adventure.

Then we reached that point in the road where we had to go our separate ways.  
So we parted ways with heavy hearts,
Though physically separated, 
we were always in each other's thoughts.

Now that the journey of life is about to end
I stopped, thinking what life would have looked like, had we made the journey together.

As I look back
searching for him
to see him one last time
to bid him the final goodbye.

I heard thunder
It woke me up
There he was
Standing next to me,
looking at me, smiling.

Now I know what life would look like
without him in it.
It feels like a second chance
A chance to change the course of my life.

But I am still in a dilemma –
which road to choose.
Not by the mean faces
I see everyday ,
who smile
with a mask on.

Not by the harsh voices
I hear everyday,
that always
pull me down.

But by the unseen faces,
by their unheard voices,
only their words-
the wisdom within...

I am inspired.
Blue Sapphire Apr 16
I often ask myself :

"Why is it so easy to die
for someone you love ,
and yet so hard to live on
for someone who cares?"
Blue Sapphire May 20
Nothing hurts more

than hurting the person

you love the most.
When I was alone
in my world.
Alone, but never lonely.
Colours and canvases-
my only friends.
With no one
to care or bother.
You came along,
changed it all.
Now gone.
Blue Sapphire Mar 29
Yesterday, I was nothing .
I was happy.
You pulled me down .
Treated me like trash.
It ignited a fire in me.

Now, I shine bright ,
just like the Sun .
Don't come closer
You will burn ,
In my light.
It is time
to rise and fight.

It is time
to take a stand ,
for what is right .

It is time
to turn the tide .

Today is the time
to save the world,    
for our tomorrow
    
          or else

there will be none.
Blue Sapphire Jun 20
I want to break
all the shackles
that bind my heart
to you.
I want to break free.

Take away all the hurt.  
Take away all the pain.
I want to breathe.
I  want to break free.
Blue Sapphire Apr 12
I have said it a thousand times
What if I say it one more time
Or perhaps a thousand times more

After all it's only three words

                          I
                      LOVE
                       YOU .
Blue Sapphire Mar 10
ख़ुशियों से मेरे दिल को आबाद कर दो ,
गमो को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो |
अगर उम्मीद पर कायम है  ये दुनिया  ,
तो उम्मीदों से मेरा दामन भर दो  |
तुम्हारी यादें रुलाती हैं दिल को,
अपनी यादों को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो  |
Blue Sapphire May 25
Part by part
you tore me apart.
Now you ask,
have I killed you
gently enough?
Kindness touched a heart,  
the heart turned into a beautiful flower,
its fragrance is felt everywhere.
Today you have
the power to hurt.

Tomorrow you will be hurt.
Time will turn the tide.

Nothing always remains the same.
The high and mighty have fallen too.

History keeps reminding
again and again.
Let us let go of the past .
Let us make a fresh start .
Let the first step be trust .
Let us be friends one more time .
Let us be friends for life.
Blue Sapphire Mar 26
This is our world-
Yours and mine.
We call it home.
It's not perfect ;
It has flaws .
True, we can't make it perfect .
But with a little bit of kindness ,
and a little bit of love
we can always make it better .

Only if we try-
Let us try.
Blue Sapphire Jun 25
I never understood life.

Well, who cares –

Life never understood me either.
Blue Sapphire Jun 16
Life is given to us,
it will be taken away.
When and how,
we won't know-
till it is our time.

A disease or disaster,

road rage or domestic violence,

war or Mother Nature's fury,  

                     or maybe
                    
                       just love.
Give life a chance,
Live a little longer.
Life is a gift,
Share it with the ones you love.
Hold a trusted hand,
The road of life will be smoother again.
Leave all your sadness behind,
Step into a beautiful new world.
Set your aching heart free,
Love will come in like a cool breeze.
Blue Sapphire Jun 14
Like a bus stop,
my heart was
to you.

You came,
stayed briefly,
then left -

like it was nothing,
as if it were
made of concrete.
Blue Sapphire May 30
Like a dream
you came to my life.
Your eyes sparkled like stars
in the dazzling sunlight
as you looked at me.
Your smile, ever so gentle-
Oh, how you smiled at me.
That was the moment
love touched me.
Blue Sapphire Jun 29
Not all rivers
end up in the ocean–
doesn't make their journey
less worthy.

Not all love
ends up in a lover's arms–
doesn't make it any less
worthy.
Little by little ,
I fell in love .
A gentle smile,
every once in a while.
I fell in love .
A few words of wisdom,
Whenever I felt lost.
I fell in love .
A  little help ,
Every time I needed.
I fell in love with you.
With each passing day,
I love you a little more...
What was once a beautiful bond
is now broken.
What's left is a shattered heart.
Anxiety fills my thoughts all day,
keeps me awake all night.
Once a beautiful dream
now turned to a nightmare.

I look for peace
nowhere to be found.
How do I mend
the broken bond?
Everything feels so lost -
waiting for a ray of hope.
If it's love,
It will hurt.

If it hurts,
You know it's love.
O' love....your name I hear everywhere
What are you?...I  asked.
A voice came from within the depth of my heart
Love is.....it said
"When the world is lying at your feet
Yet, you don't care to look
For you can't take off your eyes
from that one face. "
O' how truly beautiful love is...said I.
Come...come...love
Come to my heart
For I too wish to feel your touch
Dear sweet love.
Blue Sapphire Jun 20
Love is not a poem
written on paper
that someone can tear
and throw away.

It is a spark that
once it touches
the heart,

it keeps burning
in the heart
for the entire lifetime.

Sometimes it appears
on the lips
as a smile

and

sometimes it appears
from the eyes
as tears.
English translation of my Hindi poem – चाहत  
with a different title.
Blue Sapphire Apr 14
Love isn't geometry
There's no need to prove it

Love is only a feeling
You can feel it

in every little gesture.
in every little deed.

in a smile.
in the eyes.
