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
