I FORGOT ME

I've been true to everyone else but me given so much of myself and forgot I also needed me kept others warm and left me in the cold shared my heart beat with them and forgot I also needed a pulse they told me they couldn't live without my smile,so I gave it effortlessly,totally forgot I needed my smile more held their hands when they were scared and forgot I needed the security more spent forever looking at them coz they loved my eyes,I did not even notice how blind I was to me I did not live,I existed,shared my breath with them,because they said they couldn't breathe without me I forgot she needed me more I forgot she needed my undivided attention I forgot she needed to hear me assure her that everything will be okay I forgot her I forgot me. © Nana.

I'M SORRY!

I lost my senses somewhere in between their physiques Lost my sight somewhere in between their thighs Their arched bodies and suppressed breaths that, to me, meant satisfaction I tried to turn away I swear I lowered my gaze but in the process I still lost a sense See,I touched all I could And forgot the epitome of physiques If I were to kiss you right now,would it still give you goose bumps? And no,the question is not rhetorical I want to make it practical Remember how your lips felt on mine Remember how your scent drove me insane Remember how your piercing eyes made the clock come to a halt Remember how it felt having you in my arms all the time See,I'm tired of being around only when it matters I pray that my indiscretion did not make your heart crack All I want is to own that face that once made me blush Will you have me back? © Nana.

SHOW ME HOW TO LOVE YOU

Should I call or text you a couple of times during the day Would it be enough to show you that I'm constantly thinking of you? Should I look at you straight in the eyes when we talk Would that show you how much trust I have in you? Should I get so close to you till I feel your breath brush across my lips Would that be enough to let you know I want you next to me always? Should I show you off to my friends Would it show how proud I am to have you? Should I cancel my commitments and stay with you when you have the flu Would it show that your well being means the world to me? Should I have an unmatched personality Would I then, be your one in a million? Should I confess my love to you Would you then show me how to love you? © Nana.

OF LOST LOVES,LIVES,LAUGHS THAT ONCE WERE,I PRAY

Of pure hearts changed to different forms,I weep.Hearts that once loved unconditionally but now hate with such passion Of eyes with no mercy whatsoever,I cry.Eyes that once spelt utmost innocence but now bleed anger Of hands with no pulse,I grieve.Hands that were once so warm and smooth as alabaster but are now so cold and rough Of a smile with no emotion,I sulk.A smile that once lit up a room and put the city lights to shame but now defines darkness Of souls that once loved.lived,laughed as if there was no tomorrow,I pray. I pray for their redemption I pray that they can still love with the same intensity I pray that they can still smile with such fervor I pray that they can still live with the same enthusiasm Of lost loves,lives,laughs that once were,I pray © Nana.

MY UNSUNG HEROES

Blow that trumpet for that boy who has been molested but it does not derail him from achieving his goals Beat that drum for the girl that was raped and still wants to make the best out of her life Let the fiddler play that violin for the woman who is constantly battered by her husband and chooses to speak up and fend for her children Strum that guitar for the teenage girl married off,actually sold to the highest bidder just so the dowry can sustain the family but still fights for her rights Hit those notes on the piano for the young men and women who turned to drugs because they consider that their safe haven and still express willingness to get help and be better in society Play that harp for the lost souls.Let them know,I know they have tried to search for themselves amidst those tears that keep trickling down their faces Sing and let them know they are thought of and though it is not always enough,it's really the thought that counts Let them know their strength is admired and though I don't understand where it comes from,I look up to them for inspiration Despite flashes of dark memories clouding their thoughts everyday,enough to lead them to end their lives but they choose the light. This is for you.I have a hero in you. © Nana.

I KNOW

I know it's your eyes I'll be looking into till eternity because they sparkle only when you look at me I know it's your lips I'll be kissing for all time because nothing can possibly counter it's sweetness I know it's your hands I'll be holding for the rest of my life because the sense of belonging I feel when you're holding mine is incomparable I know it's your embrace I'll long for everyday because I cannot dream of living without the security that is engulfed in it I know it's your voice I'll listen to till I can't breath any more because no one else makes such beautiful noise when they are mad I know my heart is in the safest possession because no one else can take care of it like you do I know I love you and there's just not enough time to show you the ways in which I do I know it's you I'll love every second of my life because if not for you,if not for the day I met you,I would not have known how it feels to love and be loved I know I'll live to show you how much I adore you and all I want is for you to know I truly do. © Nana.
