Going

And I wake up and think
Do u have to go away
Sit with me just this once
Sipping tea and whiling time away

Tomorrow comes too soon
Today is barely done
What I have and want to say
Will take a while to come undone

Wait this once, right now!
This time will pass by so slow
Stand still and silently gaze
Until its finally ur time to go!

Dream a dream...

It doesnt matter if its big
Or small as it can be
Let it be all it can
Give it wings and set it free

Hold it close to your heart
Farther than the torch of flames
In your palms and on your lips
Keep it safe from all mind games

Love it like a child that's yours
Treat it like its already grown
Have it on your mind all day
Reap the seed thats sown

Feed it the fuel it needs to bloom
Keep it running on throughout
When its ready to take flight
Just scream and let it out

It in turn will help you soar
On to a higher ground
Take you from a place on earth
Making you Heaven bound!!!

There and Back again...

The day has finally arrived

He walks again

If only for a minute to stand back on his feet

Tall, though stumbling; brilliance in stature

Foot to head all radiating

A distant uproar to welcome him

A giant amongst the halflings

Off to take what was once his!

So here he goes on

A while before all is reclaimed

The pedestal that gathers dust

Now bears the man he is!

Come now, one and all

From lands afar and wide

Won’t be too long till time tells the tale

Of this MAN so Strong!!!

(For the man I've idolized all my life.... Baba this is for you)

I am Living

Wake up to the sounds of the drums

Swing to the music that I hum

Spring in step and a song on my lips

And I am Living!

Work a crazy schedule to the fullest

Hang with friends that are the coolest

Laugh, cry, scream then shy

And I am Living!

Hop from place to place

Energies unparalleled by any other face

Joys, hopes and love blended

And I am Living!

Work and play in a well brewed concoction

Conversations and crazyness I’d never auction

Hues of life in me you’d die for!

And I am living…..are you???

I am Ready!!!

Racing thoughts in my head
Pondering on words said
Analysing each move before i tread
And I am ready!

Visions of need and want
Hopes and dreams in a new font
Scares me for the i do or dont.
And I am ready!

Will he be my all
Will I be the one to fall
Will it be answered? My heart's call
And I am ready!

All I need to know
Is standing at my door
Waiting for Love's downpour
And I am definitely ready!!!

The Analysing brain….

The impulse to think

A dangerous thing

A tool in the hands of the mind’s right wing!

A thought outta the blue

Making one a shrew

Committing actions one would rarely do

Deep within the mind

The thought unwinds

Giving momentary pleasure to the one confined

Looking back to the deed

Now paying deserved heed

Trying to turn time on a sown seed

This play will dictate

Another man’s fate

Harmless yet cruel you sedate

Think and act

A closed pact

To thoughts generated off tact

You and I

Together we fly

Delivering the lie to the untamed Eye!!!

The Conqueror

Passion drives you every step of your way

There are times when you don’t even notice the stare

The amazement and wonder one has in their eye

To see a mere mortal reach for the sky

Humbly, yet full of zest you strum along

Energetically and carefully creating your song

Dreams galore and the power within

To strive for more than just heaven

Its there for each and every one to see

It’s a piece of you woven so beautifully

A worker, achiever and master at that

Glimpses of the conqueror as named apt!


(P.s. For the conqueror I know!)

Snapshot!

The rain pours in on the lilies

Water trickling down the leaves

A ray of sunshine beams through the clouds

A small rainbow on the ground!

Winds gushing in from the west

Paddy fields swishing to the beat.

Harmonically moving bends of the river

Meandering through the wilderness!

Birds take cover under the trees

An occasional attempt to fly away

Bravery and curiosity together blended well

Alas they’ve got to wait!

The eagle up high with a splendid view

Watches with a detailed eye

The scenic beauty beneath her grow

Nose diving into the heart of it all!

Sudden roar in the skies

She shudders and she shrieks

Her face lights up from within

All life a standstill!

A brief moment in time

Captured through the lens of the eye

Never a detail forgotten

Penned down for time immortal!!!

Coming back to LIFE!!!

It’s all down to this

Life’s gone amiss

Things we worked for before

Have received a goodbye kiss

Work and money

Are the new trends honey

Jokes cracked in younger years

To none seem now funny.

A word to the wise

Open up your eyes

This life you are leading now

A brew of deceit and lies.

Moving in this rat race

With no breathing space

Not time enough to notice

You’re stuck to the Rocket’s base

You burn and you pine

In your brilliance you shine

Each day takes away from you

The sweetness of life’s wine.

Days are nearing in

With you shedding your skin

Becoming a different person

From the one that is within

The return has begun

For the world wide web that’s spun

Moving forward into the future

Until the dawn of a new Sun!!!

A Bridal State!

That first step out the door

A heart beating fast and then slow

Gasping for breath with every move

The thought of the world closing in on you

The anxiety and the excitement all in one

Smile tears and wishes in tones

A hand leading u out there

Arms welcoming you with care

Eyes on you from every corner of the room

The one’s ur stuck on would hopefully be the groom

A pacifying smile, a soothing touch

Somethin out there for u to clutch

This will be done and over soon

Even though it’s a rare moon

Cherish and treasure all there is

The warmth and love in the eyes of his

All else will fly by in a whiz

Making you Mrs from a Ms

The look and the feel stay longer

The main ingredients to make u stronger

Life will take you through its course

This time being the only source

To remind you what it is and always be

A man’s love that brought him to his knee!!!

MAN!!!

Coming of age – a physical phenomenon

The brain however slumbers inside

A sudden display of sense – burning out

The simplest things you can’t decide.

Your hand being held from the dawn of time (yours)

Your mum, your friend and then your wife.

Traits you once had overshadowed by uncontested Ego

Strength and Bravery amongst the others since the age of Five

Time however heals all wounds – the one’s most appreciated

Chivalry and Decisiveness are now down the drain

Indulging in self understanding and betterment a thing of the past

Time investment on uncomprehended traits one shall refrain

The latest trend – a social butterfly

Perfect camouflage to the mask you already wear.

Not a care you feel – why should you

Most often than not to you it isn’t even there.

It seems time isn’t teaching you a thing

Lessons of the past are safely vaulted.

You shall get what is in store for you

My man, Charity from my end has NOW HALTED!!!

Happiness

Happiness inspires me to sing

A line, a limerick, a song or such a thing

Maybe to the beat of my crazy feet

Or it could be just a rhythm-less tweet

The reason so bizarre yet beautiful

A smile to my face small yet so blissful

Not a care or worry to think of now

This minute no Where? What? Or How?

Just fleeting thoughts of memories

Of times of love, happiness and even anxieties

The times that were and the ones to come

Making one’s heart pound to the rhythm of a drum.

This music within my soul

Increasing in beat like a drum roll

The feeling though now begins to fade

But its something for which nothing I’ll trade

A line, limerick and just a song

With me will stay my whole life long

I’ll remember the words and even its beat

Long after the rhythm is lost by my feet!!!!

The AUTO Ride

It’s late in the evening

I’m wondering which road to take

I look out my window

To hear the traffic and brake

I’m still in the office

Its better I holler a friend

Maybe we’d squeeze past this jam

Or maybe I’d be stuck here till ten

The thought has to come to my mind

To give the rikshawala another try

But it’s been more than once now

My hopes have all run dry!

The ease and comfort in which he denies

A ride to every person seeking a ride

His heartless reply and the look to deny …

You a lift from off the road side!!

Occasionally you’d find a helpful soul

To see the desperation in your eye

He’d offer you up a metered ride

Like an angel who heard your cry

This of course is a one in billion chance

For most often than not for sure

You have to tread back home

Or your own car’s the only CURE!!!
