The Sudden Realisation

Three years down the line, I look back in despair
And discover sweetest memories beyond compare.
Fumbling words of love inhabit my reminiscence.
As I badly miss his remarkable presence.
My rambling heart wants to know the truth
That is sugary enough to make me soothe.
Delving deep into me I come in front
Of a veiled reality, that now I can't confront.
Now it's too late to realize those things.
Though only sheer joy that period brings!
Days of exchanging note books and lunch.
Days of silly Fighting, kick and punch.
Sharing sorrow leaning upon each other's shoulders,
Building sand castles and stumbling over boulders
Days of tittle-tattle and countless gossips,
Of unconditional care and deepest friendships.
I remember his endless dependency upon me.
The best friends we were considered to be.
But now I feel there was something more
When waves of emotions brim over the shore.
Something more than the amity we shared.
Some feelings not spoken, rather not dared.
Now he must be relishing a happy family life
And having children of his beautiful wife.
All these are assumptions and may not be true.
Where he is and what he is doing – I have no clue.
But the sudden realisation is pricking me hard
As I am going through his last farewell card.
Where it is written, "forever be by my side"
Perhaps that releases all his sentiments tied.
Oh how did I not get the inner meaning before!
How couldn't I sense what I did adore.
This is too late to rush and bring him back,
to put life into our memories in the rack.
It's beyond time, to approach and confess.
So I have to put my thoughts back to their place.
Let them be buried in the soil of the present.
And bring back the friendship, suave and pleasant.

I Remember

I remember the magical wintry night
When both of us strolled by the park,
We were so lost in each other's sight
Discovering the love's miraculous spark!

The usual Black Forest ice cream order
The waiter's grand broad smile
Recognizing we revisited India Hobby Centre
All those moments are recalled in a while.

How spell bound we were to see
The toy helicopters being flown by remotes.
How we suddenly visited Archies gallery
And enjoyed the romantic card's love quotes!

Sitting in front of Indira Gandhi's figurine
Clicking snaps of one another in cell.
Taking your cold hands in mine,
It was indeed like a sugary fairy tale.

Moments of togetherness flicker in my mind
When you are not with me,
How I want to make the time rewind
That made both of us so happy.

That night I was shivering in cold.
You opened your coat for protection,
I was mesmerized by your care untold
My eyes moistened in exhilaration.

Your confession in Chat after returning home
Your words of love, care and trust,
All the moments are simply awesome
Which life can never corrode and rust.

Even if someday, we are miles apart
Busy in our daily hectic schedules
You will stay forever in my heart
As long as my existence rules.

I Will Love You

Elated by the exuberance of your personality
I forget our unreasonable fight's triviality
Enthralled by the endless concern you show.
I have found a paradise on earth, you know.


Your unconditional love means so much to me.
I have become dependent on you to a great degree.
Your charming eyes reflect your passion clearly
Your heart mirrors your truthfulness particularly.


Perplexed by the aura of your elegance
I surrender in front of your pure innocence.
I give my heart to your loyalty and devotion,
Always respecting every bit of your emotion.


When you will be busy in your life, miles away,
I don't know how, parted from you, I will stay.
Your love will be kept safe in my heart forever.
Your affection and care I will always revere.


I will treasure every single place we went.
Remembering every moment both of us have spent.
Your thoughts will always fulfill my mind.
I will love you till I exist in this humankind.

My Nirvana

I had unbound faith on our unseen destiny.
Miraculous moments shall we together spend.
I thought this consoling myself in agony.
But my nirvana will be soon put to an end.

Tell me, how will I live parted from you!
All my charming dreams will be shattered
Nothing will then seem to be true!
In the long journey spikes will be scattered.

Happiness is bidding us goodbye forever.
Our paths are getting segregated!
No one is in our true relation's favour
Nobody really wants to see us elated?

We will have to rove in quest of peace
Our desires will remain incomplete.
Recollecting the heart's each broken piece
We shall have to rise on our own feet.

Both of us are going through an ordeal.
We have to tread on separate trails.
We can no longer see each other at our will.
Out of sheer despair & pain life yells.

Petrified by the harsh reality's starkness,
Our distances being created by the earth!
We are sinking in the incessant darkness.
Let us still pray for each other's mirth.

I hoped for our unparallel togetherness
I thought the gaps time will mend.
Days will again bind us in harness.
But my nirvana will be soon put to an end.

Sans Love

Assaulted by the prickly tornado I fell
Comatose at the infinite anguish's yell.
The whole world now only seems phony
Filled with parlances of scathing irony!
Apprehensive of the enigmatic jeopardy
It appears naught in this earth is worthy.

Provoked by the materialistic conscience
Deprived of the passion's own essence,
I have to stalk on dusty boulevards
Lamenting profoundly afterwards.
I am caught in a mesh of scruples.
That is expressed in my facial rumples.

Behind my deceptive smile lies my pain!
Beneath the whiteness lies the stain!
I have nothing left with me to lose.
Not a single foreboding to muse!
I am living somehow like a cadaver
Possessing not even one felony to aver!

Still I lead my life sheepishly enough
And tread on roads untraced and rough.
Success and love have left me alone
To stoop in utter despair and groan!
Grief is embracing me till eternity
Snatching away my unique integrity!

Once I was like the free butterfly
From flower to flower roving by,
Now I am interned in a harsh reality
Losing the self-reliant quality.
Sans love my vivacity is washed away
In the waves of jabbing negligence sway!

The Dark Side Of Reality

With the diminishing radius of the friend's circle,
And the withdrawing of life's happiness sparkle,
Loads of apprehensions to scandalize and scare,
I keep howling in the unhappy times out of despair.

Office tensions rising like high tides of oceans,
Am trying to protect myself with futile precautions,
Thousands of blames being put upon my innocence,
Even my yelling out the truth makes no sense.

I am now going through the dark side of reality
Where folks forget their fundamental morality.
Demise of beloved ones adds to the obscurity,
Revealing that nothing in this world has surety.

How busy people have been these days in works
That their forgetfulness and negligence quirks.
They don't have time to sms, mail or call friends,
Caring and sharing becomes absent at their ends.

Different nuances of life are tinted everyday,
Shades of what the moods of the moments say.
Some are of sheer joy, some are of mere sorrow.
You have to lead life as if there is no tomorrow.

To succeed there are hundred obstacles to face.
You must be strong enough to win the race.
You have to digest all the mockery with wit.
Life is like that and there is no escape from it.

What Do You Know About Sorrow?

What do you know about sorrow?
I have felt it in every heart beats.
Suppressed it in each sigh I borrow!
Inhaled it in all the defeats!

What do you know about pain?
It had gifted me abysmal beggary
It had once made me insane
Bringing for me sardonic treachery.

What do you know about anguish?
It has left the ineradicable stain.
Putting in vein each of my wish,
Mocking at me like a vicious villain.

What do you know about loss?
It has snatched away my mirth,
Gluing to me like the candy floss,
Making me a cadaver on the earth.

A Promise

Indulged in rich sensuousness I lie,
As your charm is impossible to deny.
Your loving fingers try to trace
While your lips explore my face.
You whisper soft words of love,
Witnesses the starry sky above,
“Promise that you will never leave me,
Promise that a blissful couple we will be.”
And I assure you all that you want,
Listening to my heart’s chant!
The zephyr flows with immense grace,
As our love exceeds the outer space!
With my petal-soft lips yours unite,
As you hold me in your arms tight,
Observes the azure moonlit sky
As in sheer ecstasy two souls tie!
Cuddled in your warm embrace,
All my concealed feelings I express.
As your breaths fall upon my neck,
My thirsty desires become awake.
And we bind ourselves in passions deep
And to the terrace corner gently creep.
Not a single second do we waste
And your hands surround my waist.
We caress each other like never before,
Kissing and hugging more and more.
A sensual night with lusts unleashed
Brings us all that we had ever wished.

The Lost Hopes

In a forlorn night,
While sitting in the easy chair,
The weary heart moans
In sheer despair.
With eyes full of apprehensions
Awakens an unsuccessful lover
With her pain suppressed in her sighs,
Unable to bear the ruthless lies.
All her dreams scream “let’s flee,
We will soon be put to an end,
We can’t survive in such misery.”
Looking out of the windows
At the street lights’ shadows,
The eyes shed tears that fall like pearls,
With excruciating fears and unbound yells.
But the lost hopes again come back,
And softly whisper “can we leave you?
Dreams may betray you but we rack
At one point of time we return,
Healing your sore – the heart burn.”
Thousands of hopes light up the candles,
And the darkness again disappears.

About Love

In the road of love there are thorns
But the rose petals protect the feet.
There are barriers of other’s scorns
Still happiness has no deficit.

Sharing prevails, selfishness is gone,
No more “I”, it becomes only “We”
As two different souls unite into one.
And the world seems a place so happy.

Love brings unconditional care,
Selflessness and unbound support.
When everything is gone love is there.
It defends us and becomes the escort.

The eyes shed tears of joy in delight,
Life finally becomes complete,
Love spreads a divine light.
And cruel egotism accepts defeat.

Tying The Knots

In this hypocrite world nothing seemed true,
Till my sweetheart I found you.
An innocent soul of eternal sunshine
Fortunately is going to be mine.
The heaven will sing hymns of glee
Tying the knots of you and me.
The birds will chirp and clouds will dance
All will come true from a mere trance.
The rains will pour like never before
The tides will overflow the shore.
Your love will give me completeness
And glow indulged in sweetness.
The world will seem a happy place
With you any obstacle I can face
As your ardor gives me enough potency
On you I have a lot of dependency.
Coz only I can complete you too
And color your life with every hue.
We will be content together forever
And God’s decision we will revere.
Making Him feel proud of our relation
That will be full of mirth and elation.
When I will cry you will console me,
When you will be sad, I will support thee.
I will heal your wounds with sheer care,
As my inspiration you will always be there.
Together we will go through thick and thin.
Knowing the unknown and seeing the unseen!

A Special Day

New hopes are wrapping me
Addressed as the ‘would be’
Of someone special in my life
Whom I will support in struggle and strife.

New dreams are hovering on my eyes
Taking me to an unknown paradise—
Dreams of a new family and new members,
Washing away the past grief embers.

New beginning is opening a new world,
In its magic I am entirely enthralled.
Happiness is welcoming me in its way
Promising always for a better day.

New thoughts are whispering in my ears
Words of love, delight and cheers.
Rekindling the flame of hope in my soul
Offering me a brand new lead role.

New identity is embracing me tight
To make me a superstar in one night.
As it is my wedding, a special day
With someone special in every way.

New resolutions are lingering in my mind
To be a nice wife, gentle, loving and kind.
It’s a new season, a new monsoon.
As it is my wedding in the month of June.

The Beggar

I was stuck in a traffic jam in my car,
The girl tapped the pane with her jar,
Her gazes pleading money
But I didn’t give her a penny.
Her eyes were revealing hunger
And were red without a slumber.
She begged and in return got chide
Irritated, I turned my face aside.
Soon the green signal was led,
We were about to move ahead.
When she pressed her lips on the glass pane
And smeared her saliva again and again.
Suddenly my heart felt sympathy for her
Thinking how unlucky the deprived are
Having even no home to live
Still a paisa I didn’t give!
With torn clothes and uncombed hair
With a little hope she had stood there,
But I killed her hope and made her rancorous
So she spoiled my brand new car’s glass.
I felt guilty and ashamed of myself
Of not offering her a little bit of help.
But I made up my mind from then
That I will lend a hand to the poor men.
For ever since I could feel their pain
Their hunger cost much more than removing the stain.

A Mother

When I was a kid, I would
Hug my mom a thousand times,
Wrap my arms round her as she stood
Reciting for me nursery rhymes.

I would ask her so many questions
And she would answer patiently
I would keep on talking non-sense
And irritate my mom blatantly.

I would smash the toys given by her
Scatter the things all over the place
Tear new dresses with a scissor
Smear talcum powder on my face.

I would not allow her to put off the lights,
Scribble her arms with my nails,
Irritate her at late hours of nights,
Till she would narrate fairy tales.

With 100 degrees of fever
My mom would bake cake for me
With all her endless endeavor
Just to make me a bit happy.

She would spend sleepless hours
To make me sleep cozily
Pour her love like the monsoon showers
Sing wonderful lullabies easily.

With a handful of food she would
Run after me in the room
Happy were those days of childhood
Nothing ever seemed gloom.

At school I used to wait till the bell rings
As my mom would come to take me
I felt the greatest wealth her smile brings
Setting all my worries free.

Another morning would arrive,
Mom would comb my hair and iron my dress
Make me ready for school bus drive
With her warm and affectionate embrace.

Tiffin time would be full of pleasure
Having the food cooked by mom,
Which was a delicious treasure,
Mind blowing, simply awesome.

In my exam, with the highest marks
I would await my mom’s coming.
Give her the news to discover her eyes’ sparks
With hopes of my brilliant upcoming.

Days passed and months too
Creating a distance between us
I became self-centered as I grew
My mom’s heart broke like a glass.

When I would go to college after school,
She would still want to accompany
But I said it would be shameful
If no one had bodyguards and I had any.

When I would return in the evening
Mom would wait for being caressed
I would ignore her yearning
It would make me embarrassed.

I would chat with my friend
Hours after hours over the phone,
Mom would wait till the day end,
But I would not talk making her alone.

I would remember any day except her birthday
Forgetting how she cooked for me when ill,
Yet with no complains she would stay
In her room taking a sleeping pill.

She would wrap me with a blanket
To protect me from the cold;
Even in such an unnoticed state
She would not carp my negligence untold.

Days passed and months too
I became a wife and a mother,
I realized my fault as my child grew
Into a lady and didn’t bother.

She ignored me all the same
Depriving me of a daughterly touch.
My heart was full of guilt and shame
That I had hurt my mom so much.

One fine day I went to her
The old lady whom I abhorred
In a bed lay my mother
Sick with bed sores and ignored.

She was in her last breaths
I cried and cried seeking forgiveness
Her tear drops poured like cascades
Her eyes closed in flimsiness.

I hugged her as I did when I was a kid
Offered her a forehead kiss
Told her ‘I am sorry for my misdeed’
But she entered the abode of eternal peace.

Nightmare

In the wintry night’s somnolent vibes
The abysmal nightmare again arrives
With cats growling in my eyes
Confounded my vision lies.

The ambiance becomes eerie
With dreadful dreams so scary
Beyond the window pane vampires fly
And I hear the nocturnal owl’s cry.

Uncanny shadows swarm the portico
I eavesdrop on the inexplicable echo
As the solemn nightmare appears
And fills up my mind with fears.

Haunted seems the cozy bedroom
Drooping with gruesome gloom
Fake footsteps reverberate in my ears
Littered with meaningless mockery and jeers.

Ethereal figures congregate my sight
Bringing the sinister look of the night.
In the journey of distressed lives
The abysmal nightmare again arrives.

It's You

It’s you who light up my trail
Filling it with never-ending fervour
And let my parched heart set sail
To its perfect destiny— your harbour.



It’s you who make my soul fragranced
Letting it smell like the freshly bloomed rose
In your touch the greatest comfort I have sensed,
Come back again and hold me close.



It’s you who inspire me to love myself,
As you discover the best of me and show,
How can I forget your unconditional help
And support that makes my integrity glow.



It’s you who bring a smile on my face
When I am in the saddest frame of mind,
Your position, my dear, no one can ever replace.
Tell me where a better friend can I find?



It’s you who understand when I hide my tears
Behind the camouflage of my forged smile,
You take away my meaningless fears
When I get tensed, even for a while.



It's you who adorn my paths with flowers
Offering me the best of friendship forever
Making me feel the joy of seasonal June showers
As out of endless ecstasy I waver!


It’s you who make me a complete woman.
I am sure I will dream you again tonight.
In the monsoon evenings you will run
And come back to me forgetting the petty fight!

I Never Knew

I never knew you love me so much
Till I found it all in your eyes,
In your tears and sighs,
In the manner you care for me,
In the ways you make me happy,
In the gestures you make,
In the breaths you take,
In the words you say,
In the month of May,
In the joy rides we had,
In all that you made me glad,
In the patent food corners,
In the nights full of stars,
In the times we have spent,
In the moments transcendent!

I never knew you love me so much
Till I found it all in your touch!
In your hands’ clutch,
In your soft kisses,
In your warm wishes,
In your trembling lips,
In the dream at your sleep,
In the late night phone calls,
In all that your love enthralls,
In the chats of GTalk,
In the evening walks,
In the rainy afternoons,
In the sweet monsoon,
In the happening city,
In the best of serendipity!

My Love

I keep surrendering to you
And you always win the battle anew.
I try a lot but I can’t let you go.
My heart doesn’t allow me to do so.
I dream of you every single night
Your name is painted in my heart bright.
In moments of solitude I fantasize us
Uniting with each other in love’s nimbus!
My heart throbs every time you see me.
And I can’t control my feelings of glee.
The fact of meeting you again
Eradicates my depression and pain.
But I forget you belong to someone else
Continually my true love for you fails;
But I still can’t remove you from my mind.
I keep wishing – may time rewind.
I believe strongly in reincarnation and rebirth.
One day you will be born for me in this earth.
No one will be there between us then.
Your love— the greatest gift I will gain.
I am sorry I can’t stop thinking of you.
It hurts too much to bid you adieu.
And whenever your eyes meet mine
I discover an eternal bliss so divine.
You will remain within me till eternity
Boundless as the sky, vast as the sea.

Inexorable

Neither a fairy tale nor a fable,
It is something simply inexorable;
Your falling in love with me
And your sudden feelings of glee,
Wanting to meet me face to face
For no reason the heart can trace,
Your wait for my sms and missed calls,
Your beautiful past memory recalls,
The fact that I belong to someone now
Can’t change your love anyhow.
You are dying to see me you said
But certain things are better left unsaid.
It’s just a realisation you have gone through
That you want to tell me “I love you”.
But I am sorry, it is too late.
My love is not in your fate.
I can’t keep what you beseech
As I am, now, beyond your reach.

Time Can Never Rewind

Every single day I keep trying
To eradicate your existence from my heart,
But at the end of the day I find myself crying
Realizing your thoughts can’t depart.

Moments of love and unconditional care
Are nothing now but sheer memories.
Making my heart a gloomy abode where
There are only sorrows and miseries.

The dances in the balconies,
The secret sharing in the terrace,
Fills me now with melancholies;
And dejection reigns my face.

The hide-n-seek in the courtyard,
Unending laughter, frolic and fun,
The ‘catch me if you can’ in the boulevard
Tells me now that time has spun.

The roller coaster and joy rides,
Your magical, amorous gaze,
The Striking cars’ strides
Reminds me of those golden days.

I used to feel like a winner
Whenever you were with me,
In every lunch and dinner
Of Mc Donald’s or KFC.

I was the happiest girl
When you had loved me,
As if I have found a pearl
In a seashell at the shore of the sea.

Now in every step I take
I feel as if I am a loser,
Every morning when I wake
I find in myself a loner.

I had tried as hard as I could
To wash you away from my mind
It had only hurt when I understood
The happy times can never rewind.

But nothing can change my love for you!

Days pass and nights too
No more can I find the caring You
You are now not the person I knew
But nothing can change my love for you!

Though I am still your loving lass,
The golden days are gone; alas!
The distance grows between us
But nothing can change my love for you!

The happy old times are gone
My love can no more turn you on,
The night may never turn into dawn,
But nothing can change my love for you!

There isn’t any love left in your eyes,
You may laugh at my heart’s cries,
Lost is your passion’s paradise
But nothing can change my love for you!

You may have forgotten me,
Thrown away my thoughts totally,
Regarded me as your enemy
But nothing can change my love for you!

You can’t hear my painful yell
You may hate me like hell
You can ignore me as well
But nothing can change my love for you!

How I miss you!

When the lawn is wet with morning dew,
How I miss you!
When the moon has a silver silhouette too
How I miss you!
When silence rules and words are few,
How I miss you!
When sunlight peeps at my room, my beau,
How I miss you!
When lonely nights turn into days anew
How I miss you!
Whenever I have to bid you adieu
How I miss you!
When I feel anything except you is untrue
How I miss you!
When I can’t bear the pain I go through
How I miss you!
When I realize that my hours are few
How I miss you!
When I know from death there is no rescue
How I miss you!

Our Love Is True

My morning wakes up with your smile,
How can I forget you even for a while?
My day begins with your prayers to God,
Without you dear, everything seems odd.

My afternoon thinks only about you,
Of the happy times we are going through,
My hours are spent with immense grace,
As I visualize your lovely glad face.

My evening awaits your arrival from work,
My heart regards you as my sole monarch.
Blooming like a rose, dancing with glee
I glow like a new bride as you love me.

My night falls asleep with your eyes
Moving to a dream world’s paradise.
My life is complete since the day I got you.
We are both blessed as our love is true.

There Is An Unforgettable Love!

In the form of sweet dreams or tear drops,
Broad smiles or silent sobs,
Frowned faces or moist eyes,
Laughter or secret cries,
There is an unforgettable love!

In the silhouette of heart throbs or pains,
Present reality or down the memory lanes,
Deep rooted wounds or gentle heals,
Insomnia or sleeping pills,
There is an unforgettable love!

In the veil of mirth or mourning,
Darkness of night or glow of morning,
Irreparable loss or unexpected gain,
Winning a heart or all efforts in vein,
There is an unforgettable love!

In the essence of unity or separation,
In every human being, in each generation,
In sunny spirit or dried up souls,
In hurting words or loving consoles,
There is an unforgettable love!

Your Eyes

Your eyes light up my destiny
Taking me to the inaccessible,
Letting me know the unknown thee,
Inspiring me to do the impossible.

Your eyes heal my injuries;
They are absolutely invincible,
In fact the best in centuries
Making everything else invisible.

Your eyes are the best work of Him,
I am running out of words to say,
In darkness they are like a beam
Showing light to find the way.

Your eyes let me forget the world
Knocking the door of my heart;
In them I am completely enthralled
They are the premium piece of art.

Your eyes are eternal bliss
Washing away my sorrow,
As if they are hope’s kiss
Showing a finer tomorrow.

Friendship Vs Love

Silly jokes and stupid fights,
Childish days and innocent nights,
Days of amity, gossips and fun,
Quickly had the time spun.

There was something more than friendship's needs,
All those that the third eye reads.
But that got buried under the companionship veil
Making both the timid hearts set sail.

Lovely gifts of song videos and portraits
Exchanged under the cordial traits,
Long waiting for g talk tittle-tattle,
Moments were grand except the clashes subtle.

Suddenly love knocked the door
Having desires and wishes more.
But friendship yelled, "Let me rule,
If you intrude I will make you spool!"

Love was scared of too many barricades
It got coffined under the passing decades.
Long lived friendship, dominating forever,
Things would have changed only if love was braver.

Your Companionship

Your arrival broadened my lips with a smile
Finally both of us could make it happen.
After chatting for more than a year
We at last met face to face.
Reminded me of so many things ...
Your first self composed gift - my portrait,
Your way of calling me ‘Aditi’,
The unique name which only you have given me,
Our unbound texting and unlimited chats,
My mails fulfilling your inbox,
Your songs playing on my stereo system,
Our deep, unfathomable friendship
That has become stronger with time.
I am so lucky for being highlighted
By the hues of your companionship.
Today I really wanna say this to you
‘So pleased to have you in my life!’

Without You

Without you I feel like a helpless kid
Who has lost its way to lead
Or perhaps like a part of a mist
That has lost its way in the vast sky.
Without you everything seems wrong
And I feel lonely even in a throng,
Like a dried rose that no more smells nice
Like a face that can no more entice.
Without you I have a meaningless life
With no reasons to survive.
So stay with me today, tomorrow and always
And never leave me in any case.

Who Am I?

Time is my all time companion,
Death is my strongest rival,
For an Alzheimer patient I am oblivion,
But for everyone I am ‘survival’.

Pain and trouble stroll with me
Holding my hands along the way,
And so do pleasure and glee.
Well, they have so much to say!

I don’t have faith on fate
A thousand battles I have fought.
Some like me, while some hate
As some are happy, some are not.

I have a bright as well as a dark side,
I am full of twists and turns,
I am like the roller coaster ride.
With rat race and long runs.

Love is my better half;
Even a king is a beggar indeed
If he has not got that stuff.
Love only makes me complete.

I have an injured eye
Of struggle and strife
Do you know who am I?
I am life!

What is Love All About?

What is love all about?
A bond of trust but a little doubt?
An enraged eye still a healing touch?
A broad smile yet a pain so much?
Is it a sunshine peeping out of cloud?
Or a drop of silence in a cry so loud!

Is it a shower of rain in scorching heat?
Or a stream of running heart beat?
A halo of light in the unending dark?
A wound in the heart, an everlasting mark?
Does it mean a yearning embrace,
Or a number of reasons hard to trace?
Is it about unconditional giving?
Or getting in the relation and leaving?

An overflowing wave yet so calm,
A cruel word followed by a curing balm!
An image of patience still desperate,
A bit of bad habit in etiquette?
A common bonding yet so rare?
A magical feeling beyond compare?

I am confused, I don't know.
I wish if anyone could show!
If you really know what love is.
Please come and teach me this.

What I Want to Be

Make me the ripple overflowing your shore
Or the mild zephyr tapping your door.
Make me the guitar playing with your fingers,
Or the trance on your eyes that lingers.

I want to be the breeze that daily touches you,
Or the blue sky that silently watches you,
I long to be the sunshine knocking at your windows,
Or the dew drops on the grass stroking your toes.

Make me the star peeping at you whole night
Or the proud dazzling sun providing you light.
Make me the roses which you often smell,
Or the drizzle that drenches you without fail.

I crave to be the fire protecting you from cold,
Or the thoughts in your mind, unexpressed, untold.
I wish to be the smile elegant on your lips,
Or the beautiful dream arriving in your sleep!

Too Late

My name must have been washed away by the waves,
And my chapters must have been torn out from your life,
Even my slightest remnants may have been worn out,
Probably I have become extinct from your world,
Yet today your thoughts make my adrenaline rush,
As if they have just invaded my soul,
Your memories are still as fresh as the dew drops,
As if every now and then you are with me,
My heart throbs whenever I think of the times spent with you,
As if the life clock has been rewinding itself back to the past,
My eyes moisten contemplating the loving words you said,
As if just now you have whispered them in my ears,
My heart burns remembering your magical touch,
As if a peg of whisky has just gushed through my throat,
My cheeks blush recalling your warm hugs,
As if you have just kissed those rosy cheeks,
My body trembles evoking your cuddle
As if I am right now embraced in your arms,
Your reminiscences bring within me a childish delight
As if it doesn’t matter that you have forgotten me.
Your chronicle overflows the shore of my mind
As if it is too late for me to forget you.

To Thee, Oh God

Inundate the shore of my heart with thy ardor,
Paint the canvas of my mind with thy color,
Navigate the flow of my thoughts in thy route,
Sculpt the broadness of my approach in thy silhouette,
Freshen the garden of my soul with thy fragrance,
Compose the poem of my life with thy cadence,
Submerge the sea of my inner self with thy purity,
Develop the sky of my outlook with thy necessity,
Mold the vision of my eyes with thy sight,
Illumine the path of my journey with thy light.

The Sweetest Thing

His presence makes my nirvana true,
How I yearn to be in his arm!
How I long to say ‘I love you’
Spellbound in his charm.

His loving words tempt my ears
As a piano’s appealing melody,
Washing away all my tears,
Drenching me in rhapsody.

His eyes tell me love is bona fide
And is unbounded of any rim,
I try my best but I can never hide
My growing feelings for him.

His naughtiness paints my heart
With colors of endless desires,
And I feel I can’t stay apart
With my passions burning in fires.

His flying kisses send me
Thousand volts of mirth,
His everlasting company
Is the best thing in this earth.

His dance makes my world a bliss,
His gazes touch my chi,
His happiness is all what I wish
To the highest degree.

His soft touch lets my soul sing
In its own way, boundless and free.
His love is the sweetest thing
That could ever happen to me.

The Lost Tune

Let us bring back the lost tune
Of hopes, dreams and optimism,
Of love, happiness and life's rhythm,
Of justice and truthfulness
Of honesty and faithfulness,
Of devotion and worship,
Of affection and friendship,
Of soul's emancipation,
Of ego's salvation,
Of faith, of respect,
Of a broader prospect,
Let us bring back the lost tune
Of humanity soon.

That's Life

With mists of the unknown and clarity of the known,
Great expectations of crossing the remote horizon,
With lines of the fate and ways of a fortune made,
We struggle and strive to cross every barricade.

Born under the cozy shelter offered by our parents,
We often overlook the concern of them - our gerents,
Not giving them proper support when they need us most,
Rather having our busy daily schedule's boast.

Too late we realize what we have done, specially when
Certain things are boomeranged back to us again
When we attain parenthood we know how tough it is
To turn the steady track of the breeze!

Often we neglect our family taking them for granted,
Depriving them of the affection they had wanted.
But whatever we do, that comes back to us someway.
Sarcastically depicting the life's circling sway.

Through the enigma of life we get befuddled
In the arms of joys and sorrows we are cuddled.
We walk hands in hands with funs and pains,
Strolling along with the sunshines and rains.

Thank You

Your arrival illumined my home
My heart was throbbing every moment
And every time my eyes met yours
My cheeks turned red feeling shy!
I had cooked your favorite dishes
And had always tried to fulfill your wishes.
Your words of care echoed in my ears
Making me feel so very special
Reminding me of our sweet embrace
Of that midnight of July.
And in my lonely hours
I keep wondering over and over
'Was it friendship or something more than that?'
Be it whatever, it overwhelms me forever.
In the hustle bustle of our daily lives,
In flashes of solitude,
It soothes me to tranquility
Like a soft music with a certain meaning.
It comforts me vastly
Like a sudden drizzle on a blistering day.
Be it whatever, it is meant for me.
And I am truly contented with it.
'Thank you for being there, dear'
Is all that I want to tell you.

Sacrifice

You are moving away, I can feel it as the breeze whips,
As the thunder roars, as the clouds bawl,
I can visualize the growing distance between us
As the trees get uprooted by the storm!
I still can’t beg you to stay back, I am helpless.
The only thing that I can do is let you go.
I set you free from the orbit of my love,
From the gravity of my unbound passion,
From the root of my soul’s existence,
I am left with incessant tears and inexorable sorrow
But let it be like that, just let it be like that
If it can bring you a better tomorrow.
I am losing myself to you instead of winning you
As another name of love is sacrifice.

Rendezvous

Everything is so magical, seems like a miracle;
The whole day spent in sunny and cloudy moods,
Yet an awesome rendezvous, happy times together,
Another unforgettable day in the page of life.

I wish if I could hold back the time.
I wonder how your presence makes the difference.
You try your best to suppress my every drop of tear
And strive as hard as you can to bring me a smile.

Whenever I feel you are running away from me
I lose control of my endless emotions....
Even if I try I can’t hide the drizzle of my eyes
From your observing temperament.

And as soon as you realize that I am upset
You gift me a thousand moments of glee.
In every gaze of yours there is a liking for me.
That always makes me feel I am beautiful.

I don’t know what is happening to me....
For each passing day makes my feelings deeper
I am enthralled in your love and never-ending care
How do you understand whatever I feel?

I want you, sweetheart, by my side forever
In every life, beyond space and time,
As it’s only you who creates my paradise
And from my gloomy self a happy ‘me’ does arise.

Realization

As I walked along the lonely trail
My deserted heart set sail
To the memories vivid and bright
Which in darkness can throw light.
Moments of fun and frolic
When he used to sneak a peek
At me with love sparkling in his eyes
Where the greatest truth lies.
The whole world is but phony
In front of his ardor's symphony.

May be, because he is my world.
In his passion I am totally enthralled,
His smile means more than sunshine
I feel so lucky thinking he is only mine.
I knew the meaning of love and care
As beside me, he was always there.

I lived life to the fullest since then
No more sighs, no more pain.
I am waiting for the big day
Which is but on its way...
With new dreams and new life
I am reborn becoming his wife.

Reality

You held my hand for hours,
Sitting beside me amidst the flowers,
You kissed my cheeks gently
Showing all the love pleasantly,
You promised never to fight,
Never to be out of my sight.
You confessed how wrong you were
To hurt me like that and stay far.
You took me in your arms for long
Playing the most romantic song.
I was overwhelmed once again
Forgetting your neglect and pain.
But suddenly I heard the strident alarm
And realized it was a dream’s charm
That you were so close to me
And it can’t happen in reality.

Platonic Love

I know you love me, and I love you too,
You have filled my life with dreams of every hue.
Your fondness is purer than the holy water on earth
Your unconditional care brings me immense mirth.
Your shoulders give me eternal support,
Your hands are always ready to escort.

Your feelings are an epitome of platonic love.
Blessed is our relation from the heaven above.

You and me- the most unusual combination
Carry an aura of glow, a halo of illumination
Coz our love is true and of ingenuous kind,
Unique, special and hard to find.
Crossing the limits of mortal desires
It has sacrificed itself ablaze in sacred fires.
Sans lust, sans thirst it's a pristine sky
Where two loving souls have fled to fly.

Our Memories

Our memories are spread
In every corner of our home!
Our hide and seek in the balcony,
Our secret sharing in the terrace,
Our tip toeing in the kitchen,
Our honest confessions in the bedroom,
Our dumb sharads in the lobby,
Our dance in the south facing room,
Our special moments in the verandah,
Our feet tapping under the blankets!!
Our memories are like panacea
To the disease called loneliness.
Our memories are like light
To the solitude’s unending darkness.
Our memories are like joy
To the miseries always chasing us.
Our memories are like the greatest truth
Compared to the fake, hypocrite world.
Our memories are the greatest treasures
Of our entire lifetime!!

Our Friendship

What is special about our deep friendship?
What we receive in exchange of our sleep!
Extensive chats overlooking the time,
Mesh of verses and meaningless rhyme.
Profound nirvana and conjuring fantasies
Virtual world's mesmerizing delicacies.
Chuckles and tittle-tattles unending,
Torrents of breathtaking SMS sending,
Inexorable care and love for each other
Where nothing else can ever bother.

Chain of mails and sudden missed calls,
Flow of words resembling the waterfalls.
Calling affectionately by weird nick names,
Playing for hours interesting word games,
Crossing the virtual and actual boundaries
Sharing happiness as well as worries.
It is pure amity but full of weightiness,
Conquering the hindrances of sleepiness.
It is aloof of trivial things like age,
It is the elite reality and not a mirage.

Once More

Once more let me be hypnotized by your eyes
Keeping aside our melancholies and sighs.
Once more let me be in your arms
Discovering what the heart affirms.
Once more let us get drenched in the rain
And be happy forgetting the pain.
Once more let us confess our loyalties
Overlooking the reality’s frailties.
Once more let us sit by the sea shore
And kiss each other like never before.
Once more let us hold hands
And walk bare feet in the sands.
Once more let me say ‘I love you’
As I am not strong enough to bid you adieu.

Nature and Me

The magical whiteness of the streets
Pleasing my weary soul,
Snowfall covering the trees
Filling my heart with childish delight,
And the icy breeze touching my face
Ah! What a solace – gift of God.
Snow beads clinging to my overcoat
Making me wet all over...
Then I quickly enter my timbered house
After the wonderful morning walk.
The enchanting winter of Boston
Smiles at me from the windowpane
Thrilling every ounce of me.
I am so spell bound by nature’s allure
That while having a sip of coffee
I tell myself ‘I am but not alone,
The divine Nature is with me.’

My Prayer

In the aura of thy light
Let my darkness dwindle
In the glory of thy virtue
Let my peccadilloes disperse
In the rectitude of thy soul
Let my imperfections peter out.
In the aroma of thy hope
Let my despairs wane
In the joy of thy truth
Let my melancholies obliterate
In the majesty of thy novelty
Let my heart achieve salvation!

My Lord

My fragile heart is breaking with the growing rudeness of humankind
Tell me, Oh my Lord where a little bit of joy can I find?
If I shed a few drop of tears the world laughs at me mockingly,
When I am serious about something, people take it jokingly.
If I am friendly, my folks behave in a strange resentful way.
I want to be close to them, but they move away.
No one spares my emotions and blows them like a cigar�s smoke.
Life becomes so suffocating that it is prepared to choke.
It strangulates me with huge number of problems unsolved.
But in all my prayers my Lord you are always involved.
You will give me strength to fight for justice
One day surely the tornadoes of grief will cease.
You will light my trail with eternal bliss
In your feet my worn out soul will rest in peace.

Music

Your aura enlightens my soul
Elegantly letting me lose control.
Being tuned in everlasting harmony
Anytime you take me out of agony,
You have a great magical ability
Always soothing me to tranquility.

You flow smoothly like a brook
Offering me a fanatical look.
You have your own language
To cool me down even in rage.
You lift up your wings in the air
to show your own integrity and flair.

You divert me from the regular hubbub.
With your sophistication I fall in love.
You endow me with energy in lazy times.
Like reverberating jingles your voice mimes.
You add life to my dried up spirit
Vivacious and lively is your greet.

You are my life, my inspiration,
My love, my dream, my aspiration.
You make me happy anywhere.
Your grace is beyond compare.
Only upon you I have total faith.
I will admire you till my last breath.

Love, Life And Death

I was unaware of what love is
Till you showed it all
Through your eternal care,
Unconditional giving,
Selfless compassion,
And unbound faith on me
Augmenting joy in my life
Scintillating like the sun
Venerating like the holy saint
And I knew what love meant.

I was unaware of what life is
Till you showed me how to live,
How to smile, how to laugh,
How to face the battles tough,
How to have faith on God,
How to respect my self,
How to feel contented with little things
How to eradicate the sufferings
How to float like the cloud
And I knew what life bestowed.

I was unaware of what death is
Till you left me alone in the world,
Reaching the cloud nine at an early age,
Plunging my existence into unending darkness,
Bringing tears to my eyes like the waterfalls
Piercing my heart with a thousand swords
Making it bleed till the blood dries
Throwing me into a void space
Ripping my unfulfilled dreams
And I knew what death brings.
