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.

It rained last night!

Last night it rained
The earth quivered
As the tiny droplets
Fell on it as though
They were caressing her
Loving her and assuring
Of the beauty of life
The earth bloomed
As new Life sprouted
Bringing in new colours
And new fragrances
She revelled in joy
But soon the rain drops turned red
The world turned a battleground
With bloodshed all around
And beauty lost, happiness unfound
She looked on with deep unbearable pain
Tear drops and blood making her quiver again!

Forgive me...

Forgive me if i am not sweet
It is because i am not meant to be sweet but to be honest

Forgive me if i dont smile
It is because i am nothing but a reflection of the world around

Forgive me if i dont extend my hand
It is only because my hands are too weak to render any support

Forgive me if i dont understand your tender feelings
It is because i am tough treading rough troughs

Forgive me if i dont take your word
It is because i dont trust anybody but myself

Forgive me if i hurt you
It is because i fail to understand feelings

Forgive me if i dont share with you
It is because i am too close to myself

Forgive me if i am rude
It is because truth can be bitter

Forgive me if i dont laugh with you
It is because i can't laugh when i see pain

Forgive me if i dont chat with you
It is because life is too deep for shallow talks

Forgive me if i am indifferent
It is because i dont understand life

Forgive me if i dont know the ways of the world
It is because the world is too much for me

Forgive me if i wrong
It is because it is human to err

Forgive me for all my faults
It is because i am not perfect!

The show got over!

The show got over and everything came to a stand still
The seats were empty without the animated faces
That filled the hall untill a while ago
The bright lights that lit up the evening were turned off
Darkness loomed all over, as he groped in the dark
Aimlessly with an empty but heavy heart

The stage that was brimming with great energy
As the artist moved vibrantly, creating
Celestic images to the soulful music;
The divine melody that reverberated all around
Is now abrubtly shrouded by silence and darkness
As though life has just been snatched away

He was happy and had people all around him
But now he was left all alone, not knowing
Where to go nor what to do; His heart empty but heavy!

Everlasting bliss!

When even the butterflies cheat
What's there in the world to look for
But wait for the end of the road
Whereby you will be liberated into
A whole new world of everlasting bliss!!

Not afraid!

In the silence the words were clear
In the darkness the image was near
The voice that came straight from the heart
The vision that captivates you like art
Like an ocean that's calm and wide
The men who have cut their chords fine
Not afraid of the solitude, darkness and quiet!

Defeat

She might have lost the battle
But she deserves an olive crown
For her faith and her love for life!
The winner might get all the glory
But hers is a story of survival
Which the fainthearted could read!
