What makes us special

You love me
I love you
You respect me
I respect you
But what makes us unique
what makes us special
What endears us to each other
What keeps us together
We love each other
for what we are
We love each other
for our good qualities
But more importantly
for our bad ones too
Appreciating each others flaws
Beaming at each others virtues
Taking pleasure in each others company
Setting an example to others
We hold each other
In an embrace of love
we hold each other
In an embrace that shall last forever

Why has the pen stopped moving

Seconds have rolled by into minutes
Minutes have rolled by into hours
Hours have rolled by into days
Days have rolled by into months
The nib has stopped scribbling
The ink has stopped flowing
The pen has stopped moving
The pages remain unfilled
Well , why not
I need not brood over anything
For I have you to take care of me
I will never feel alone
For you are always waiting for me
I will never need to fight alone
For your support adds to my strength
I will never need to ask anything more
For I have been gifted with you ....
----------Uday Guntupalli

As we walk apart

For every minute
That we spend apart
For every step
That we take apart
A cloud forms
An unrest settles
With my heart beating wildly
For being separated from its mate

Your consent

The wait for your stare
Speaks little
The wait for your smile
Speaks little
The wait for your gestures
Speak even less
The wait for charming you
Speak even less
But , the wait for your consent speaks it all "

Why I hate to explain myself to you

My attempts to explain myself
My trials to explain my heart
My efforts to open up
My cracks at transparency
All look meaningless
All sound funny
They make me feel like a fool
They leave me confused
When they are meant for you
When they are done for you
It looks like my heart attempts to repeat to itself
It seems that my mind reasserts itself what it is
For long before our souls have united as one
Does all this mean anything ?

" What your company means to me "

" In your wake I have seen true joy
In your company I have experienced true love
In your words I have felt true care
In your looks I have seen true affection

Cherishing each moment spent by your side
Memorizing them even in sleep
Awaiting to credit more such memories
I ache for time that can be spent with you

For I know the value of your presence by my side
I value your presence beyond anything
Bless me with your presence
To cherish for ever"

Shattered hopes

" Wishing to walk by your side
Craving to be the one to hold your hand
Trying to win your heart
Taking life away from the bruises we endured
I wanted to be
the reason for your smile
You fear that
you might bring tears to my eyes
Little do you realize
they turn sweet when they are shed for you
But you let bruises of yesterday
shadow my feelings
Willing to walk away
From the heart that beats for you
Deserting the soul
that craved to be yours
Wondering why you fear tomorrow
not even seeing today
I stand at the cross roads
Unwilling to let you go
But hating to force my presence upon you
I drag my feet away
Shedding tears
Bruising myself
Willing to go down the path of pain
Which I am much more familiar with
