A bout The Book “she will be loved” isn‟t just a poetry collection it is a

story that runs in four phases that every man will go

through in his life. Desires(love), dissappointments

(heartbreaks) , apathy( lack of interest and emotions) and

overthrowing your limitations(finding happiness).

Following might give you an idea of what “she will

be loved” has evolved me into:-

How do you deal with love, fragile heart, memories,

the world you love, crazy desires,never moving life of

yours?

“she will be loved” is how I dealt with all these

things.

Do you feel you are odd? Doesn‟t fit among the rest

around you? Do you think you aren‟t happy? Do you

think you need love, more than you are getting now? Do

you think you are unlucky, unfortunate and deserve

more?

“she will be loved” helped me deal with all this

situations I went through

Can you say no to love and still be normal? Do you

have lovestory that you have moved on from? Are you a

orphan who‟s okay without parental love? are you in old

age home and have stopped expecting things from

people you love

“she will be loved” helped me making up my mind

to stop expecting things from people,and thaught life is

beautiful cause “I” live there.

And I‟ll be very happy if this book succeeds in

changing at least one of the reader‟s state of emotions.

Happy reading

Preface

She will be loved was the only escape route I found to

get rid of my obsessions, but now after finishing this I

feel I have more to write about „her‟.

Well all might have a question to ask prior or after

reading the book “who is “she” in “she will be loved”?”

and „her‟ I mentioned two lines ago

To answer that is like answering the question “what

is this book?” and I think I might have an answer:

„She‟? She can be mother, daughter, niece or sister.

She can be love, beloved, country or a bird. She can be

rain, the summer or coffee you savour. She can be

anything you like her to be. And she is everything you

like her to be throughout the book too. There are no

limitations on whom to imagine while you read the word

„she‟ or „her‟ from here on.

So this could be more flexible and relatable read to

you, if you can relate everything to your lives and all

the „she‟s to anyone you want.

Hope that gives the abstract of how it works

Happy reading

Life of my story

W

Let me be the dawn of your worst nights

and dew of your best mornings.

Listen to my veins and blood that sing your name,

it’s a valley of fireflies that light up our world,

lamps across the streets? No your eyes shine the best.

Hold my hand, it’s raining love.

Chilled? Hug me under the snow fall

Do you hear my heartbeat?

No you can't, It skipped the beats forever

stare in my eyes...Yes this feelings are forever

Your white hairs... wrinkled skin...doesn't matter, It’s

just your heart

dream my life..I do yours

Yeah I did giggle reading the previous line

I can sing this song till those stars die, forever.

or may be end it hear

Should I end it with a period? Or should I leave it to you

if it’s my story of life or life of my story,

you are the end... I'll start all over again.

The day we met

W

The day we met

there was no sign of rain

nor there was for shooting stars

I hid my face behind the sweet chocolate I bought and

my eyes searched for her eyes

just the night

random faces, random smiles

carnival of chaos

pretty songs , backdrop

I poked her twice

she was dancing still wise

I hid my face behind the chocolate I bought

my eyes found her eyes

she smiled, I blushed

blush, the scar of love

her friends, my friends

lost in random faces

I stayed, she smiled a bit more

I could never blink

was scared to lose her in the crowd

no had the chocolate to hide

now her fingers wrapped around

the chocolate in sweet bliss

Pretty songs continued

still no signs of shooting stars

I wished I wished to freeze the clocks

tried to look in her eyes, failed

never stopped staring, when she looked away

she asked to sing

I uttered something out of tune

trembling voices, rising heartbeats

chocolate melted in her warmth

I wouldn't care more

for pretty random faces

than hers

stupid were my eyes

now was the time to leave

bit wet eyes

told you', stupid were my eyes

The day I met her

it didn't rain

nor there were shooting stars

was just me and she

and a song sing

Under The Blanket Talks

W

we do make our mornings special,

hiding ourselves under the hood of blanket

then we move like four legged

we purr, we mock like we were kittens

We lay back when tiered

count the dots on our clothes

and little talks under the blanket

She thinks sunshine steals her grace

she hides every cell on her face

our world is under the blanket

we speak, we sing, we whisper,

in each other’s ears

its sweet, our under the blanket talks

Her hands on my neck

my eyes in her eyes

there’s silence for sometime

then we laugh and break the silence

just that she laughs more

its sweet, our under the blanket laughs

I count her breath, she does mine

we play game of “holding breaths”

I draw circles on her cheeks with my fingers

she plays with my hair

she makes funny face

and ask me to write pretty song

on our “under the blanket games”

they can deceive you , a woman’s eyes

they can drive you mad and bold

so, here I’m writing lame songs

on our “under the blanket life”

Lullaby with love

W

Thousand fireflies in the sky,

cool breeze and moonlight,

hush baby hush,

just close your eyes and one small blush

I'm gonna lull this song,

sweet and crisp

just close your eyes and dream

hush baby . . Hush.

Will kiss you on your forehead

and whisper every fairytale there is

just close your eyes and dream

will walk beside you in your dreams

saving from your slips and falls

hold my hand. . We'll count the stars

hush baby hush

How about pretty little wings?

Will tie them to your purple gown

lets fly and glide. . And kiss the stars

and lets slide on rainbows

was never known to be speechless but your

lips can stop me speak

dream is a dream

just close your eyes and forget my lies

hush baby hush

Will steal your pain and make it rain

snowfall in moonlight isn't it pretty as my lull?

I'll stay all night to watch you dream

you would never know what I wish

hush baby hush

But will you smile at me?

When the dream is done?

And when the moon goes down?

Or will I be just another dream??

Still will sing this song when you weep in warm

just close your eyes and dream

hush baby . . . . Hush

this is my lullaby with love

Her world

W

Blue was the sky, so were the seas

vast and deep, infinite and steep

cool breeze and setting sun

she said "look in my eyes I'll take you to my world

now the walls were blue

skies deep purple

lavender sun and olive moon

wasn't all weird was her world

or was I in love with her tears?

Should've been a blind

now could have stopped being in her world

Blue little hearts

they just show them red

blue hearts are just blue

vast and deep, infinite and steep

tried to paint her heart in blue

wasn't all shrunk her heart

should I make it blue as sky?

Blue little hearts

turns deep purple when they bleed

and grey when they break

so green when they heal themselves

dark night blue when they love

blue they stay . . Little hearts

she held my hand, never knew the path

she walked beside , her world her streets

my blue little heart was turning dark night shade

hers was grey, I fell in love

when'll I rise? her world her rules

Cute little blue heart of mine

Didn't turn all blue ever again

tried to stay night blue, when she tore it to pieces in vein

night turned grey , so did my heart

now we both have a grey heart

we love in rain . .

We share the pain

our hearts stays grey, blue is Ever gone
