Soulmate

An angel came into my life,

Showed me way to survive,

I was almost dead before he arrived,

his gentle touch aroused in my life.

His charm is brazen,

his innocence left me frozen,

the bond exists even before it was made,

heaven wants us to be kith,

because in previous incarnation we were soul mates.

The moments spent besides him were greatly missed,

With each passing day, I yearned to see him more,

to grab his attention, dainty attire I always wore,

the savor of his presence around, delighted me profound.

In my troubled times,

his support made me smile,

holding his hands, I calmed down,

his sweet words gave feeling so warm,

because of his unconditional help, I was never harmed.

His tantalizing touch stirred my soul,

my heart turned as pure as gold,

affection intensified with each passing day,

but his faith in me just faded away.

I opened my arms and closed my eyes,

expected a hug to keep me alive,

In me his trust, I could never revive,

Leaving me alone, he departed in search of life,

Someday I believe, again we will arrive.

A Tribute to Beauty

A Tribute to Beauty
Beauty of a woman lies not in her skin,
It comes from all the goodness, springing from within.
Beauty’s not in dimpled chin, nor shining eyes a trait,
The beautiful are gracious; their grace is not in gait.

“Shining hair! Glowing skin!” billboards try selling dreams,
But beauty doesn’t emanate from bottled gels and creams!
Wrinkled skin looks beautiful too, on hands that care to caress,
Beautiful even a crackling voice that calms your mind’s duress.

If you care to see, there’s a beauty in every home,
We call her 'Mother dear', she’s virtues’ epitome.
With charming countenance and kindness in eyes,
Her magical touch could transform tears into smiles.

As God could not be everywhere, they say he created Mother.
Made sure to give her the beauty of Love, Love that doesn’t wither.
To the mother in every woman, this ode is a small tribute,
Your ceaseless beauty, O’ Woman, in reverence I salute.
