Another pleasant evening

An unusual scenery I encountered,

Or rather a beautiful one.

To my right the clouds darkened

While the sun rays penetrating through the clouds on the left.

I wondered if it would pour heavily,

Or shower fire that would burn my skin.

I boarded the bus & found a window seat

And held my eyes intact to the sky.

School children rushed into the bus

Almost breaking the doors of it.

Not to find a place to sit

But to exhibit heroism.

I turned my attention back

To look at clouds that moved closer.

The sun rays couldn’t fight the clouds

And the dark clouds won it all.

It poured down cats and dogs.

Children had curves stretching from left cheek to the right.

Few though worried about the consequences

That the after bath would cause.

The crowd rushed out of the bus

And I was left with countable ones.

Then is when I missed my companion

Whose talks are all with a meaning.

I reached my destination stop

And boarded another bus to take me

Closer to my home, my heaven.

I smiled at mom and thanked the climate

For entertaining me during my lose, finally

I thanked God for yet another beautiful page

Being added to the book of my life!!!

My Bro

I love him loads despite

His unpleasant behaviour;

That which he exhibits

And always feels proud for owning it.

There is nothing special about him

Yet there is that friendly warmth.

He rescues me from depression

By cracking the sickest jokes possible.

 He is a go-getter that way, I believe,

For his jokes achieve the goal – My Smile.

I still remember, though vaguely

The day I learnt I am having a lively doll to play with.

I prayed to God for a brother,

To my surprise and to ascertain my belief of His existence,

I was blessed with a young PLUMP BROTHER,

My first child, I call him.

The moments we spent in childhood

Are blurred to the eyes.

Nevertheless, the footprint it left then

Still is as clear as crystal.

Fights and arguments did ensue between us,

Dint last more than period of a second though.

The most cherished are the after fight moments,

We wiped the tears of each other.

He has not grown much though,

Behaves the same way -

So muddled, ragged in his everyday chore,

Just not grown enough an adult - to my dismay.

All my dislikes are towards his behaviour,

Hence, it doesn’t stop me from loving him

The same way as I did back then during childhood

And it shall only grow more with decades to be spent.

The most cherished friend

People walked into my life,

As I opened the door of my heart,

As my friends during strife

Helping me in all conduct.

I shed love upon them

For the least of favor though,

For it was then I got them

And wanted to protect them from all sorrows.

As days passed by, I could still feel

Empty at heart though everyone beside.

Could not understand why

And swept the thought aside.

Further in the journey did everybody leave,

Never realized when they all left me.

So alone so as could be

All by myself, JUST MEL

You came into my life, as a fairy I wished

For ages I lived lifeless.

The warmth of your hands that mine clutched

Made me feel complete and fearless.

The love I had yearned for

So long had it been;

And when I get it from you,

In my tears is the happiness seen.

I regret today for not being a guy

For I would have done anything to marry you,

Without the slightest of thought of your opinion too.

Nevertheless, I am glad I am not a guy, for a friend I am,

I am aware of every feeling of yours and would never hurt you

And I shall perish, if ever I do!!!

The Awaited!

The words that exist in this world of myth,

Belief, trust, love, togetherness,

All are just words, no feelings.

For the people in this world believe a thief & not a lawyer,

One who steals for living is good they think,

Than the one who earns his living.

Hope all the unfaithful things would end,

And so I trusted ‘Friendship’ & ‘Husband’.

One stabbed me from behind,

While the other tore my heart to pieces.

Oh God!

Isn’t there a ‘PERIOD’ to all this?

Isn’t there the word ‘The End’ that is effective for these too?

I can question only you,

For till this moment you have kept me alive.

This lifeless body, yet lively soul,

Searching for open & pure sky to breathe, to feel the feel of liveliness.

Ready to give up everything for the ‘One’,

Who can understand & live with truthfulness.

Realizing

I sat all by myself

No where to go

No one to speak with

No one to share my feelings or thoughts with.

Worried all by myself

Clueless of the way ahead;

Shouting within my heart

For not getting a solution to my problems.

After a while when my heart dwelt in peace

Forgetting the reason for the worries,

The solution was right in front of me in no time.

My happiness knew no bounds;

Tears rolled down my cheeks.

A usual way of expressing joy

For my heart did believe

My best friend is still alive.

Dwells in my heart deep within

Not letting me down in any way.

Kept his promise & brought smiles into my life.

I held my head high in the air

Shouting,” Here I come to you life,

To live & cherish you all over again".

A simple picture of LIFE

Pop goes the whistle of the train,

Hop - go the children on the roads,

Extremely watery and smudged because of rain

Along with all those ugly toads.

Lovely is this sight to enjoy.

The bright sun shines at the dawn and

Holds a pleasant smile at the twilight;

Girls along with their boy

Holding hands, walk in gay all throughout the day

With faces so bright.

Life is so blessed I feel sometimes;

We ask more of it & it does fulfill our needs.

To the extent that we are never contended

Craving for too more, most intended.

Oh God! I thank thee for every beautiful moment spent.

Never in my life will I ever repent

For anything big or small

Always will I rise again,

No matter how deep I fall..J

My love never turned back

Away from you I feel aloof from the world

For it was your touch in my life that shone so bright,

Darkness dawned slowly I never realized

Your absence in my life made it obvious.

Not a single time did you try to console me?

That made me cry more and more did I feel

Alone just left all by myself

None to rub the dust on the life’s shelf.

Earlier days not so ruthless

Why does it happen as time passes by?

Love fades away and ego gets over

The upper hand to rule heart that is flawless

Nothing can I do without you

Here I will wait for ages through,

Longing for the touch that made me feel

That I am made just for you. 

My Beloved Departed

Never thought would get away from you,

For I did love you

And I still do

For it is eternal love for you;

You & only you have made me feel

This happiness that is so real.

It makes days longer with your thoughts

And nights deeper with you in dreams

The moments are so special

Those which we shared;

Others also felt

We are beautifully paired

Only you never realized

Our love that is divine

With out you it is paralyzed; and

Will be complete only if we get tied with LUV twine!!!

Unpleasant Decision

As usual had thoughts entangled

When it suddenly struck me,

The best thing to do would

Be the obvious - confront the truth unspoken by me.

It would not have been otherwise

That I was so lost besides the words that kept

Clinging near my ears, to my surprise

I heard my heart that after ages wept.

I wish I never thought such a brutal thing

Upon which my heart opposed against intellect.

While one strongly agreed and the other otherwise,

Again the heart was swayed by the strongest.

My heart accepted defeat

For it appreciated – sooner the better;

Because the damage whatsoever is definite

And that I would later never again recover.

Against all the above said

My heart I believe will not refrain,

It had been and so would be

Adamant as ever, holding to sour thoughts sown.

Acknowledgement - Inner Self!!!

Should I apologize to self?

Or just self- realization would do?

I believe the former is required

For there is no bigger crime than forgetting self.

Reasons not known for this behaviour though

Now that realization peeped in

I am sure not to repeat this

For I definitely paid a price.

I felt left alone beside the crowd.

Had many friends, young and old

Wandered lost in my thoughts

My heart groaned in pain, not finding a shoulder to cry.

I had neglected my best friend

The inner me, a ruthless behaviour anyone can exhibit.

Yet “it” held my hands when I lost my way

And here I am to savour the sweetness of feeling complete.
