“IF ONLY”
If only, this night was day.
If only, these roads were unending.
If only, these shadows were silent.
If only, this wind could not touch me.
If only, this noise was not gothic.
If only, these jitters were not shaky.
If only, the balance of reality could be tested.
If only, this perception was not twisted.
If only, the time showed no patterns.
If only, this darkness could blink
If only, this landscape was chaotic.
If only, I was inherently not a fool.
If only, I was not too foolish for a tear and too wicked for a smile.
If only, there was dance in death and stillness in life.
If only, expectations could be turned into happiness.
If only, promises were made and fulfilled.
If only, this journey was as interesting as the destination.
If only, my cry was not mute.
If only, i could choose..and win over my own heart.
Only then, maybe, I could have your body or mind.
And then this life would be less ‘unsettled’ perhaps.

u should name it unsettled though..
and just in terms of poetry move the lines about yourself..(the ones that are called.."If i was...") down below..
would make it more personal..
anyways..
have never really posted poetry like this before..
thanks for appreciation sam..!!
..tears flow down your cheeks whenever you touch your heart with the innocence of a child...
...time moves with no noise..all the chaos that passes..all that you hear in your dreams are ripples of your mind..only once you try to hold the time and you would become motionless...
...the loudest sound that shake your ears is when you cry a tear...
...let loose your expectations and happiness would fly away like that little bird who has just learnt to fly....
one thing for sure i will neva forget ur name now..
its very cool..thanks..!!
