Words

At birth the sounds that struck the air
They made no sense but to the ones who cared
It got clearer and distinct as life moved on
Harder and fiercer the sentences they formed.

Passion and love flow through them for sure
Defiance and disagreement their absence ensures
One punctuation here or there now
Changing the meaning and making them growl

Laughter and sadness oh how easy they come
When they flow in sync, rhyme or come undone
The words are long and oh so strong
Idyllically formed to make poem to song

At times they come without a thought to spare
At times thoughts barely even get them there
Whatever derives or generates them now
Thankful they are for every consonant and vowel

The birth or death you will decide
In love or hate when you recite
They come easy to all who know the rules
They keep them up all night the fools

Finally when they leave the lips that utter them
Or when they are put to pen
Not a soul can take or change the feel
Those wound only time can heal

Let them come fast and without a thought to spare
Let them come slow and gently with care
Love them and lead them to their only grave
Words are powerful and meant only for the brave!

Beauty!

Nothing has changed from within
It's just as it used to be
A new dress to fancy your whims
Is now what you can see

The person inside - a happy soul
Now may bear a frown
For all the times with burden she bore
Waited for the genuine crown

She hoped and prayed for a watchful eye
For someone who could see beyond
All the skin and layers she wore
And gently would he respond

To every word and move she made
To see the woman inside
No fancy clothes or blush to show
What he needs now in his own bride

Now she is all plush and pruned
Lady in all terms vain
Her soul though remains un-turned
Burned with all the pain

Did she find a worthy friend
Or a foe so charmed by her
All the grace and courtesy games
Now undone as it were

A smile she wants to wear again
It seems to evade her face
Questions burning inside her head
Wondering how to erase

She knows she hasn't changed within
She knows its all the same
The eyes that dawn upon her skin
Somehow seem more than vain

She was there as time before
With all beauty to bare
The windows then for her soul
Seemed a little less to stare

They looked and saw and did not respond
For how could they convince their hearts
Beauty to them isn't whats in
But more of what helps the eyelids part!

In Wonder...

Day to day and year after year
On and on you tread without fear
Rest is but a distant dream
On and on churning milk to cream

Once in a while you stop and stare
Time and again hoping a soul would care
Wishful thinking is all you've got
Reality then hits you in that painful spot

A day will come or so you think
When life’s troubles would suddenly shrink
You’ll toil and toil for that fateful day
Keeping your wishes and desires at bay

On that day you’ll live for yourself
Eat, drink, love and indulge in self
Not that anyone’s tied your hands per se
High standards you set from day to day

Now you ask what’s this all about
Independent your soul screams out and shouts
Duty you fulfill no questions asked
Why be bothered about the past

Rewarded you’ll be for conquered dreams
Does it matter now or oddly seem,
Were they yours or ever will be?
Fulfilled duties or wishes set free

It doesn't matter now for you've gone too far
Moving on and forever raising the bar
A day will come surpassed the goals you’ll be
Wondering what day you lived for thee!

Unspoken...

I know you for only but a handful of days
It seems like long but that's how Habituation works its ways!
Its not like you're perfect ... Oh so better this way
Each glitch , each flaw...the more human u stay!

Don't want to flatter you...cant help myself though
My muse today you'll be as fonder I'll grow
A piece of work you are... in the good and bad too!
Must be hell for anyone to ever let go of you!

Stop smiling now... I know you are
Don't deny the happiness you now feel inside
Yes , yes you're wondering what brought this on now!
Well its just one of those days when I'd like to spell out...

You're a close friend and well I'd hope you'd be
staying in touch...even though we're separated by seas.
Soon you'll be off on your way... discovering the world
Learning and Living a life and then serenading your girl!

All I say now is but a reflection of you
The fun and energy that comes bursting through
Amazing how energetic and lazy you are
A minute on the bed and swiftly to the car!

One cannot decide time and again
Are you simply crazy or just completely insane
The weird questions and well weirder answers to them
Make me wonder everytime " Only god can save him"

But I guess its just the way it must be
Sanity and genius never hand in hand could be
The breadth of knowledge that you can span out
Something new to learn everyday no doubt

A million things to list down and a zillion more to say
To do justice I'll need a few more hands to spare
Pointless it seems now all that I've put to pen
A man of few words you are and more of the unspoken!!

Fleeting by...

There she sits by the brook
Water flowing o’er her feet on the rocks
The sounds of the forest calming her soul
With no one to break the beat of her heart

A flutter here and whistling wind
The trees glistening from end to end
With her thoughts that swiftly move
From near and dear to soothing tunes

No one to please but herself
A thing not done for years till then
A smile she has in a fleeting thought
A hold on life finally she’s got

There in loneliness of body and mind
She heals her heart, she quiets her mind
She needs this long lasting solace
To swift the gait and hasten the pace

To let no one ever control
What wasn't theirs or will never be so
A feeling of freedom runs through her veins
She finally has controlled the reigns

All that’s done and maybe barely said
Let it go …rest it to bed
What remains is hope and nothing less
Leave it for those that passed the test

For you and only you will know
Which one to take…and which one to let go
In your heart and mind it’ll stay
For everything happens for a reason each day!

The Wait...


Long winding queues I've stood
To make it to the elite few
The prize I vie is more than good
To let it go for something new

Today I wait and hold my breadth
Hope and pray till it gets
In my hand and heart engraved
The day I rose against all bets

Where do I go now for these few days?
How long will this last, this endless haze
Come now; oh let me redeem my win
Let it be mine and let it be seen

Words today come too few
Emotions gushing clouding the view
The good, the bad and ugly I take
My share of woes, my share of fate!

There ahead o’er yonder bridge
A thin streak of light and a glimpse of bliss
Making my journey of these long wended days
Sum up to a life as wonderful as this!
