Being

 

Been away so long but never far,
been distant but yet never out of reach,
been missing action but never disappeared,
been absent from here but never left.

Wanting to be different has been difficult,
challenging myself has made life complicated,
striving to achieve what i myself don’t know,
wishing for success where there is none.

Waiting for a silver lining within dark clouds,
eyeing the horizon with anticipation and eagerness,
watching the sun go down and twilight appear,
gazing at the moon creeping through the mountains.

Thinking today is when i will do it perhaps,
wondering what i want to accomplish so suddenly,
dreaming my way through glory never to be had,
hoping against hope for something which isn’t mine…

A road to nowhere…

 

I was going along the road,
where i didn’t want to go,
my footsteps sounding all along,
i was walking since so long.

Along the way i found you,
you were lost and i felt sorry for you,
come don’t you cry said i,
we will go together along this road.

I took  your hand and showed you the way,
you smiled and we laughed all along the way,
suddenly i saw the end of the lane,
and i realised we both were insane.

We had reached dead end,
i knew not what i must do,
lost and hungry and so dizzy,
you blamed me and were so angry.

Why did you do this to me you asked,
i was better off without you before,
you walked away without looking back,
then i knew our bond was a thing of the past.

Heaven on Earth…

Some say Heaven is a beach,
the sands golden and so clean,
some call it a pure place,
where no evil can ever reside.

Some say Heaven is for good people,
who have been true and never sinned,
some call it the place to belong,
where peace and goodness prevail.

Some say Heaven is paradise,
no place on earth can compare,
some call it the beginning,
of the end of all that is sinful.

I call Earth my Heaven,
i live in Paradise and belong here,
good and evil dwell though not amicably,
tranquility i find within and i am content…

First snowfall of this season

 

 

The first snow of the season and it feels so good.The snow falling to the ground like talcum powder and sometimes like small white feathers.The children playing in the snow,making snowballs and hitting one another.Makes me want to join them and be a child again:).I guess its time to try and make a snowman!!!

 

The sun,the moon and us…

 

I looked in your eyes and saw my reflection,
there was love and affection and so much more,
you took me in your arms and i was lost in your embrace,
your heatbeat i could hear and it was so comforting,

Along the seashore we walked with hands held,
the sand pulling us in as we tried moving forward,
the waves beckoned us as they caressed our legs,
washing away whatever was stuck to our bare feet.

The setting sun cast its reflection in the water,
its beautiful rays glittering across the sea,
preparing to slowly descend as darkness set in,
splattering the sky with pink and orange shades.

We stood watching the sunset and the colours of dusk,
amazed at the beauty of nature which we seem to ignore,
the beach was deserted and we were all by ourselves,
taking in the melody of the waves as they hit the shore.

The stars made an entry as the moon lit the dark sky,
moonlight guided us on our path making us feel secure,
it was time to go home and we wanted so much to remain,
reassured by the thought that we may come again soon.

Time to Celebrate

 

Some years ago my life changed,
a daughter i was a wife i became.
A mangalsutra on my neck was proof,
i had a new surname which took getting used to.

At the beginning there were tiffs,
some tears i cried and some days i was sad.
Adjusting to this new life took some time,
slowly i settled in and life became simpler.

Friends drifted apart,priorities changed,
my life revolved around my new family.
It was unintentional or perhaps my decision,
i distanced myself and was happy like this.

Each thought centred around my spouse,
our bond grew stronger as years passed.
We went so many places and created memories,
good times spent in each other’s company.

I look back at that day i became a bride,
so many expectations and anxiety was inside.
Dreams,aspirations,hopes and love,
so many feelings bundled inside my mind.

I smile now as i turn the pages of History,
so much has changed in my life since that day.
Things i learnt and experiences i gathered,
may those come in use for someone yonder.

Tomorrow we celebrate our joyous union,
In pride and happiness and joys so plenty.
I wish us both a Very Happy Anniversary,
Cheers to our marriage and our lives together!!

Time doesnt wait…

As i walk down memory lane,
i see myself smile and laugh,
simple pleasures make me cheer,
the person i see seems so dear.

She is a girl small and happy,
a daughter a child to her parents.
dancing and singing whole day long,
no fears no worries to tag along.

Now i see a maiden shy and demure,
head down she walks she is still pure.
she still smiles and laughs but consciously,
no longer she sings and moves cautiously.

She is a woman now with burdens to bear,
worries and troubles follow her here and there.
smiles are so few and she laughs no more,
she thinks of her family and frets some more.

Where is the child who laughed and sang,
danced and smiled no tears she cried.
Where is the maiden shy and hesitant,
gone is her charm smart but now distant.

Days and years and decades pass by,
her duties are complete and time goes by.
She can now sing and dance without worry,
but she is old and her feet disagree…
