Move on

the feeling of being left out
seeing the world go past
your words go unheard
temptation to use the words
that people like to hear
to make them feel good
they will stop by
and take you with them
though your feet may move with them
you know your heart remained where it stood!

thank you for the tears again

how it feels

wish u understand how it feels
when world seems to shatter
and you dont have anything to hold on to
spiralling down to the depths
as darkness looms over you
your voice too weak to be heard
unable to stretch the arms
you fall, completely betrayed, failed
will there be light at the end of the tunnel?
you dont bother to know!

loving hand

where are the words where are the feelings
has everything gone too far or has she
there is nothing held back, it is clear
but why does she still turn back to look
for that loving hand for her to move on?

Rock

As life became meaningless
Treasures turned worthless
Words gone unheard
And feelings left unfelt
Sheer existence getting unnoticed
As feeling of unwantedness reigned,
She emerged, strong as a rock!

Cold

She lost her voice and with it her inner feelings
There was nothing that she wanted to share with the world
As she started viewing things the way it has to be
Floating like a piece of ice on an almost frozen lake
She became part of a larger canvas of life
All sensibilities having gone numb with cold
Freeing the mind from all earthly links

Life changed her beyond recognition!

shadow

she was like her shadow
who followed her all over
she saw the world and learnt a lot
and looked for the shadow whenever she felt
as she turned to the shadow one day
she saw it had a face that had lots to say
the shadow that followed her and watched her grow
she realised was the one whom you call mother
she looked at her and gave her the sweetest smile ever
as she stretched her hand to touch her face!

for you

for you my dear i have left my heart open
that all my love will flow out for you freely

my open palms are laid out in front of you
for you to place your tender feet and take tiny steps

my senses watch over you through the day and night
that nothing ever hurts you and make you feel any pain

for you my dear i pray from the depth of my heart
that you shall never have to shed any tear

but if you still have any tears that makes you weep
i shall kiss them dry and make you feel fine

for as you become a part of me without any reason
my heart beats along with your's in harmony

but my dear for all the love i shower upon thee
dont you ever say you love me
for i know you will be never be mine!

the tree

as another flower withered and fell to the ground
severing the deep bond they shared
the tree watched in silence, unable to feel any emotion
it was happy when it had fresh blooms
it looked bright and lovely, and everyone loved to see
but one by one it would all wither away
and drop to the ground, with beauty lost and no beholders.
the tree bore the pain of the cylce of life
all alone unable to shed any tears!

savithri sir

Savithri sir, our maths teacher
To whom we used to go after school
Not one of the typical dreadful maths teacher
But somebody who always had a shy smile
Who would cry if we didnt get the sum right

It was Savithri sir, yes we called her sir
Wonder why we called her so when she was
All encompassing compassionate loving figure
Probably its maths, which rings right in man's mind
Nevertheless, we owe it to her for evenings full of life

She was nice and so very sweet
With a home full of warmth
She wanted all of us to score very high
Its thanks to her i got 99.5
0.5 lost for me being the careless me

For you Savithri sir, i dedicate these words
You are so kind and we want you to hold your head high
And be proud as we remember you with fondest of thoughts!

Lovely world

i wait to go back home
to her warm smile

the day’s toil seems so little
when she welcomes me
lovingly with open arms

she opens up a whole new world
filled with beautiful fluttering butterflies
blooming bright flowers with the morning dew
calm comforting sky, birds singing sweet melodies
sun rays caringly awakening you to a bright day

i wait to go back home to her warm smile
into her open arms!

no loud noises, no mean acts
people happy with the gifts of god
life thriving all around, in different forms
a lovely world where everyone got a place

i wait go back home to her warm smile
she opens up a whole new world for me!!!

caring arms

came into the world with a loud cry
but soon learnt to smile
life looked bright and nice
cuddled up in mamma's caring arms

so many people moving here and there
pausing to give a nice warm smile
life looked bright and nice
cuddled up in mamma's caring arms

the world got bigger as i began to grow
saw more shades that were bright and grey
but there was no moment to ponder
as life lead on with all its force

too many hues and too many images
not always all that pleasant
the bright, piercing blinding lights
forcing my feet off the ground

the fear the uncertainty and the void
made me search for those caring arms
that gave me warmth when i just arrived!

When

When the world became too little
Rose the feeling to rise above
Breaking the bond from the ground
Floating among the clouds
Fully enamoured by one's own vision
Blind to the innocence and pain
Of the kind,loving souls.
