Leap of Faith

 

Take a leap of faith my love,

Past hurt left abandoned at the curb.

Kisses in the foyer, under the mistletoe,

Goosebumps on our skins, 

Butterflies in our stomachs,

That’s what’s in store now. 

Burning flesh under your caresses,

Heady cocktail of carefree banter 

Sizzling passion as we melt into each other,

The orgasmic kisses, sultry skin, 

Swollen, glistening lips that say I love you

The yearning looks in public,

and crazy love in private 

The gentleness of our touch,

Yet the urgency in our lovemaking.

The silent glance that promises a lifetime of bliss…

All this and more await us.

Take a leap of faith my love!

Bury the hurt and the pain of the past,

Shed the scars and come glow with me.

Empty promises are not my forte

Let’s learn to trust again, in each other and in ourselves 

Take a leap of faith my love 

Look back one last time to say goodbye to sorrow 

‘Cause when you look ahead 

I’ll be standing there, waiting 

Kiss me, take my hand,

And take a leap of faith, my love!

Ruk toh zara

Oye faqeera ruk toh zara

Khamoshi mein gham ko na samet

Halka sa uns jo bheeni si Khushbu ki tarah Mehakaye

Usey dhoond zara 

Hawas ko mohabbat ka naam dene wale 

Junooniyat se waqib kahan

Kabhi shiddat wali pyaar karke dekh e kaafir 

Jannat kadmon mein hogi, Nasha sir chadh ke bolegi 

Agar yahi khuda na hain toh Phir khuda kya hain 

Ab jaan liya ki Ibadat e ishq hi khuda hain 

maut ke deedar ko kyon taras raha zehnaseeb

Jab Tere saamne zindagi khada hain 

Fallen Angel

 

Oh but they try too hard with their lies and deceit,

Concocted out of spite and a dash of jealousy.

Pull me down, make the gossip go ‘round and ‘round 

Burn my wings and snatch my halo.

Little did they know, a warrior angel isn’t mellow 

I draw my sword, discard the shield

Today isn’t the day when I will yield 

Pulling the bloody heartstrings out with my hand 

I sever the chords that held me back 

Chains that bound me, were within 

A slash of the sword and they couldn’t reign me in 

The whirlpool of hate started to fade

When I spread my wounded wings and started to soar

I reach for my halo, a golden light of hope

I’m above your hatred, above your rage

I’m out of reach, a woman you couldn’t gauge 

I’ll rise above the dark clouds, 

An angel chagrined 

My tears gave birth to the Phoenix,

My heartache made the Dragon

Together we will rise 

While you will be called the fallen! 

Indefatigable

My weary soul begs to rest my bloodied feet;

Pierced with thorns, cut by shards of glass 

Of a shattered heart that once beat in rhythm divine,

On a dreary road in a journey called life,

I’ve been dragging the cross for far too long.

The crown of thorns adorning my bloodied head,

The albatross hung around my neck,

I’ve been burnt at the stake every night!

“Witch” they say, as I conquer all adversities.

Fate throws a few more, I slay the demons,

While befriending the dragon that guarded the tower I once lived in.

“Bitch” they call me, when I refuse their lecherous advances…

Bludgeon. Bully. Beat. Berate. 

Bleed dry this blasphemous wench,

I smile as they prepare the stake again.

Burn me to smithereens — 

My dragon sheds a tear, I rise again from my ashes;

Bloodied, barely alive…but brave enough to face another day. 

My soul weeps in silence, begging for respite.

I softly tell her, not yet, battles to win before we do.

So we dredged along, weary but determined to win eventually. 

I’m the woman they will one day name Indefatigable!
