Purpose

What exactly is the purpose of life?

Is it perfection for what we should strive.

Participated in the never ending struggle and constant drive,

The meaning of life I still can’t derive.

Maybe we all need to just constantly survive,

Or just protect our soul so it could then thrive.

Responsibilities are everywhere and one has to take in a dive,

I like to believe this is the only way to feel alive.

-Shivesh Gupta

Torn we are.

Torn we are between here and there,

But it is with you I want to be everywhere.

The pain of separation with you I can share,

Other’s don’t bother and neither do they care.

The distance is not really what I fear,

But it is the thought of you not being near.

So often it’s your picture I stare,

Trying to reach you climbing some imaginary stairs.

-Shivesh

 

 

 

Not an excuse.

You say I don’t express my love anymore,

I didn’t know that we were keeping a score.

I might not say it a lot,

But in my head I repeat it non-stop.

So doesn’t matter I say it or not,

Remember you are all I have got.

I am not here to make any excuse,

Even from billion it’s you I’ll choose.

-Shivesh Gupta

 

 

Stars and Moon.

 

Since I can’t meet you soon,

I compare your beauty to stars and the moon.

Love is not something to be tied to a chain,

But staying away from you is full of pain.

Like daily comes and goes the tide,

You thought stays always by my side.

Like a shadow that to stay with you tries,

I am always around you in disguise.

-Shivesh Gupta

Memories that came.

 

The splattering rains today rekindled memories few,

Like on leaves winter leaves the morning dew.

I wonder now if it’s rain there,

Hiding from me you are where.

Does rainbow there forms on ground,

And even flowers there make a giggling sound.

Are clouds there made of cotton candy,

So does eating them comes really handy.

Birds there must be of various colours,

Paint the sky does they with their valour.

Houses there must be of flower brick,

How they hold together then must be the real trick.

I wonder if about me you ever think,

Or am I now lost count of countless blink.

I wonder if it rains there,

And if that makes you remember of I am where.

The rain today brought along memories of you,

After ages also which seems new.

 

-Shivesh Gupta

Reason for Treason.

Loving someone for a reason,

Is nothing less than a treason.

Having a reason requires blueprint,

Trouble with that is it might have a tint.

Love is not a destination to reach,

Nor it’s a lesson that can be preached.

So please don’t the reason for my love as,

For me it’s more than a task.

-Shivesh Gupta

 

Break time :)

​Stuck with work, 

Like does a clerk.

Waiting for the things to go right, 

Then again I will start to write.

Situation here is a bit tight, 

Will soon be set till then hold tight.
Love you all 🙂

Always free.

Like an idle useless old tree,

I am for you always free.

Confused I am about the time,

Like in darkness one is counting dimes.

Unless autumn when a leaf from tree fall,

You don’t need any reason to call.

So make me hear your beautiful voice,

Whenever you want it’s your choice.

-Shivesh Gupta

Leave me never.

Leave me if you will ever,

For a dude who is more clever.

Sad I will be then forever,

Recover I guess I will then never,

My tears will flow like river,

Emotions will go down the sewer.

So please do the thing that’s clever,

I beg you to leave me never.

-Shivesh Gupta

Always there.

So what the photos got deleted,

Our memories are now permanently created.

Don’t you ever get sad or feel hurt,

Remember you are always there in my heart.

We will click more pics this is not the end,

Those broken memories we will someday mend.

So stay happy and don’t lose that smile.

Will come to see you even if have to walk miles after mile.

-Shivesh Gupta

What a time.

What a time to be alive,

I can see your face on screen live,

I am making any kind of hype,

You look beautiful even on skype.

So what if the network is bad,

Your voice still makes me mad.

I know it’s going to be worth the wait,

Still then I am becoming desperate.

As will forward go the year,

We will get more and more near.

-Shivesh Gupta

Too much work.

Little too extra you have to work,

Like in government office does a clerk.

You planned to have so much fun,

Now you work till down goes the sun,

Working might give you joy,

But please don’t forget to enjoy.

Always remember in life this theory,

Never stop making good memories.

-Shivesh Gupta

Momma Mumma Mommins Mom Mother.

Girlfriends I made quite a few,

But still my true love is for you.

We might get into arguments times quite a few,

But we both know it’s nothing new.

As a guide, mentor and always a friend,

Roles you play has no end.

Someday for all you do I wish I could repay,

But for now let me wish you Happy Mother’s Day.

-Shivesh Gupta

 

Sad and Mad.

Please don’t be at me mad,

Some days I can’t help but be sad.

I always try to make you smile,

For that I try various style.

But gloominess takes over some days,

No matter how I try to fix it in any way.

Apologies for screwing your mood,

I would come and kiss you there if I have could.

-Shivesh Gupta

Why check out?

When other dudes check you out,

It makes me want to shout.

It’s not your intentions I doubt,

But why you need to smile sporting a pout.

This might be getting too much hyped,

But understand I am not jealous types.

So continue your harmless checking out,

I am sure we can work it out.

-Shivesh Gupta

Cold and Flu.

So strongly you sneeze,

That it feels like a strong breeze.

Careless you are about your health,

You treat it like an unaccounted wealth.

Such bad you have caught a cold,

It is making you clean bowled.

I hope you fix quickly your flu and cold,

Else I will have to come and give you a scold.

– Shivesh Gupta

 (When bae has a terrible cold and flu,

And you have no idea what to do,

and you are feeling helpless without a clue.)

Because since…

Since we can’t together wine and dine,

I send you poems which I try to rhyme.

Life without you feels so empty,

LIke after the meal you get no Coke but Pepsi.

I know you are there for a good cause,

But my happiness here has since been on pause.

Like every day I need that coffee filled mug,

Craving now I am for your warm hug.

-Shivesh Gupta

Test of life.

Can’t wait to take this burden off my chest,

Too much stressed I am about tomorrow’s test.

I hope it goes nothing less than the best,

Life will then be a lifelong feast.

Tired I am now of being a matter of jest,

Achieving this can now only make me feel at rest.

-Shivesh Gupta

Too much to bear.

You will be there only for a year,

That too now seem too much to bear.

Even the mirror now started to make fun and jeer,

Life is here going like a car with stuck gear.

Away from you I stay in constant fear,

So all I wish is for us to get near.

-Shivesh Gupta

Love Never Numb.

Like flavour is lost from gum,

Love loses its charm is said by some.

Distance might make emotions go numb,

But you will be loved you no matter what comes.

– Shivesh Gupta

P.S- Other half had to be censored for reasons (READ- Else bae would kill me). :p

(IM)Possible Love.

Everything about you

So healing is your laugh,

It cuts my stress into a half.

So sweet is your voice,

It will always be my music of choice.

So cute is your nose,

Makes you look good in every pose.

So charming is your eye,

Make me want to do all sorts of vice.

So juicy are your lips,

Kissing them makes my heart do flips.

You are in every way a beauty divine,

I am so glad I can call you mine.

-Shivesh Gupta

Keeping Calm.

Always try to keep cool and calm,

People say it’s the most effective balm.

Don’t diminish your personality’s charm,

For the people who cause nothing but harm.

So even if there is in your a heart a storm,

Remember I am here like a hug that’s warm.

-Shivesh Gupta

Stuck at Work.

Give you 100% there at work,

Let not depression make you lurk.

Remember there only for a year you are stuck.

Darkness might seem to be now around the clock,

But I know you will clear this block.

My love for you I am keeping in stock,

Will give you all when we will hand in hand walk.

-Shivesh Gupta

P.S- Things you have to do to make her not feel “Home Sick”. 😀

So Beautiful.

So beautiful are your eyes,

Like the sky before sunrise.

They are your secret weapon in disguise,

Which brings out the devil even from the wise.

Hold so many secrets your beautiful eyes,

It’s sad fo so long of it I was deprived.

-Shivesh Gupta

Struggle with Trouble.

You fail to see the trouble,

It is popping our love like a bubble.

Dragging an old issue like a rubble,

It just makes life difficult.

Why I fell  an outsider like a muggle,

Wonder why being happy is such a struggle.

-Shivesh Gupta

Enjoyment!

I hope your stay there is full of enjoyment,

And you don’t end up having any kind of resentment.

I know for you it’s just not just about employment,

Too many attached with it are sentiments.

Your being safe there is my concern paramount,

After all for me it’s only your happiness that count.

–Shivesh Gupta

Everything so wasted.

I feel so frustrated,

As if all my bones are rusted.

Good old days now seem to be dusted,

Too much in my luck maybe I trusted.

Some might say that it’s all overhyped,

But problems I wish could just be sublimed.

Hope someday I won’t feel so disgusted,

But time already seems too much wasted.

Her presence in my life seems perfectly time,

With her support I will now ladder of success climb.

-Shivesh Gupta

Miss you so bad.

I might not get to see you this year,

That’s the only thing I fear.

I miss you so badly my dear,

I always pray for you to be near.

There’s just one hurdle that has to be clear,

Then life will be smooth chilled beer.

But till then this pain we have to bear,

Thinking of all the good times to keep the heart full of cheer.

– Shivesh Gupta

Pseudo freedom.

Warriors whose weapons are keyboards,

Do you realise that nation is being gored?

You justify stones being pelt,

Use of logic seems you never felt.

Some say army is causing all the trouble,

And without them troubles will disappear like bubbles. 

But when trouble knocks you call them for help, 

I wonder why is it then you yelp? 

Being misguided are these innocent youths,

Forced to behave in a manner uncouth.

A lot of responsibility comes with freedom,

It is useless without being backed by wisdom.

So shun these useless and needless demands,

The desire to take control and make command.

Instead now let’s take a stand,

To make it once again that beautiful land.

-Shivesh Gupta

 

Face on screen.

Your face can’t be every day seen,

And when it is seen it is on a screen.

You look so beautiful like a fairy queen,

Makes me wonder where have you till now been.

Together we will make all jealous till they are green,

Our love story will be of a kind that no one has seen.

-Shivesh Gupta

Your hand to hold.

My love for you will increase fourfold,

The day I get to see you in white and gold.

Soon every day your hand I will get to hold,

Will hold it tight like ice cubes in a mould.

Distance makes the heart go cold,

Or so I have been told.

But this heart is made of gold,

And to you now it is sold.

-Shivesh Gupta

p.s- White and gold being traditional bridal wear in my country.

Doubt!

Doubt you on my ability to write more,

DO you think this for me is a daily chore?

These poems won’t stop till you show me the door,

So understand this is not about keeping score.

I know this might sound like a metaphor,

But for you I can write till it will fill all the bookstore.

I love you from my heart’s deepest core,

It is from there that these words for poems pour.

– Shivesh Gupta

Life?

What exactly is the purpose of life?

Is it perfection for what we should strive.

Participated in the never ending struggle and constant drive,

The meaning of life I still can’t derive.

Maybe we all need to just constantly survive,

Or just protect our soul so it could then thrive. 

Responsibilities are everywhere and one has to take in a dive,

I like to believe this is the only way to feel alive.  

-Shivesh Gupta

Happy with her?

Asks she if I am happy with her,

Or is it is a never ending for me a suffer?

Don’t judge me by what I online post,

They are as insignificant as a French toast.

Leading life away from you is a bit scrappy,

Maybe that’s why I sometimes behave a little haughty.

This distance sure has a lot to yet teach,

But its infinity and beyond where we have to reach.

-Shivesh Gupta

Words you misunderstand.

My words you often misunderstand,

But you should let me explain my stand.

What I said was not planned,

Like in tennis one plays a backhand.

One thing you must now understand,

We are inseparable like sea and sand.

-Shivesh Gupta
