To My Child

Yesterday, you were just born

Your hands was the size of my palm

Yesterday, you were just born

Your hand was the size of my palm…

Your skin, so tender soft

Your eyes, wandering and lost

Your breath gave me life

Your chuckle made me laugh

Yesterday…

Your touch was what I could die for

Your cry was music to my soul

I felt so complete, I felt so whole,

Yesterday…

You are but a part of me

Yet so unlike you are meant to be

You are but a part of me

Yet so unlike you are meant to be

My child…

Frustrated Life

Laying on my bed,

head under my pillow,

not letting anyone know,

but tears flowing below,

can’t enjoy a moment,

though worldly comforts by my side,

this is nothing ,

but my frustrated life

My life is a game,

which I’ve always lost,

and those who won,

were all at my cost,

tired after giving thousands of tries,

But never I rested nor I sighed,

This is nothing but my frustrated life.

I loved everyone,

but was hated the most,

all sailed deep in the sea of joy,

leaving me at the coast,

hiding tears in my eyes,

I had to smile,

this is nothing

but my frustrated life.

I say many things,

but I m always unheard

and all misunderstood a lot,

though I never uttered a word,

though I m at my destiny,

it seems to walk far miles,

this is nothing,

but my frustrated life.

Life!!

Where do the good times disappear,
When they have come and gone....?
Replaced with new friends, not by choice,
But cause something went wrong?

My new friends may bring with them,
Some words that make me smile,
Still I feel melancholy,
For what was once our style.

I think about times passage,
About a promise gone,
Are friendships not forever?
Meant not to last for long?

At end of each new day now,
Without a word from you....
I try to cover up the hurt,
Pretend that I'm not blue.

I try to go on with my life,
Accept you're not a part,
But sad eyes are the mirror of,
The ache that fills my heart.

I don't

I don't close my eyes,
because, when
I close my eyes,
I see her in my dreams.

I don't open my message inbox,
because, when
I open it,
I expect her message to arrive.

I don't utter a single word,
because, when
I speak,
I speak only about her.

I don't write a single word,
because, when
I write,
I eulogize her.

I don't go out,
because, when
I wish to do so,
I expect her to come with me.

I don't read a single word,
because, when
I read,
I want to read her name.

Letter

With every passing season I tried

to stop myself , and yet I cried,

not for the moments we were with each other,

but for those we could’ve been together.

I wished I could just bare my heart

to the only one it longed for,

I wished I could just make a start

for the love that I so sought for.

But afraid I was to say it all,

to come to you or even make a call,

as I feared what your answer would be,

although I knew I would lose a part of me.

So I finally gave my emotions ink,

when I wrote them down in an eye’s blink.

I poured my heart out like never before,

like a sea-hungry river racing for the shore.

The words wept along with me,

to which the moist letter bears testimony.

The trembling pen pleaded me to cease

but I had to write on, to end my worries.

Then atlast I held it up high,

and admired it from each eye,

for I hadn’t written anything so fair,

and I kissed it with hopes so dear.

“He just cannot say no”,

My dear friend would say,

“and you should straight away go,

give it to him, then pray.”

And there I stood in the deserted way,

waiting for him on one end’s entrance,

to say how I have loved you with my life and soul,

and why I just could not say it all.

I heard his laughter from the other end,

how mesmerized I was by it I couldn’t pretend;

but there he entered hand in hand, with another girl,

My vision went black, and my mind was in a whirl.

I ran away as fast as I could,

But couldn’t escape my shadow of despair;

and somewhere alone, restless, I stood,

and for the world around me, I no more cared.

I knew my feelings were betrayed

by the one for whom they ever lived.

Now years after the love that I had put in verse,

The letter still lingers somewhere in my purse.

The Mask

Every morning I put on this mask,

To hide who I really am,

A smiling face on my soul,

Sounding stupid than I actually am

I see when people look at me,

They see only what’s on the surface,

I hope they can see deep into my eyes

And discover that hidden dream base.

They think, only the past was mine,

They think, now I am history,

Little do they know that tomorrow again I will shine?

Cause I am an unstoppable mystery

I hide my true self from the world,

And to tell you the truth, I don’t know why,

But I am not ashamed nor do I have any fear

'Cause the entire world tells a lie

Not only me but all put on this mask for a reason every day,

And hide the reality behind the bar,

But if we wear our masks for so very long,

We might forget who we actually are..

I had a fight

With my own mind, I had a fight

For I am not able to write

My heart is heavy, words don’t come,

All my feelings, how can I sum?

As you leave and I wave you a goodbye,

There will be a smile but eyes cannot lie

Everything will be same-summer, spring and rain

But the roads of life will be empty again

I do not need to tell I will miss you,

 And I know it’s the same for you too..

May all the luck and success comes to you,

And may all our dreams come true!

With my own mind, I had a fight,

For there is so much to write

My heart is heavy, and the words do come

But still, all my feelings, can I sum?

Eyes that do see

Dreams that my eyes do see,

To dive in the depths of sea colors

So vibrant and waters so green

Wonderful fishes all blue and green

Dreams that my eyes do see

To scale the skies high and bright

Like a kite flying so high

In the arms of vast blue skies

Dreams that my eyes do see

To climb the mountains small and big

Valleys oh so beautiful and flowers aglow

Grasses so green and clouds in row

Dreams that my eyes do see

To walk on the moon I always dream

Milky white in skies at night

Leaves me feeling cold and delight

Dreams that my eyes do see

To pluck the stars twinkling afar

So tiny they look when I do see

Wonder how they really are

All my dreams may come true

My little eyes have some big ones too

Dreams to see this beautiful world at peace

I am so small but my dreams are big

Burning Dreams

When the eyes burn

and tears melt

i reckon its time

to move on with the life

Things change

things go wrong

mist is everywhere

but still somewhere in our heart

we are always wishing for things

to go our way

knowing that our way

is not going to happen...

Hope keeps us up and going

high hope makes us fall

fall to such depths

that we can't even see sunlight

When its dark

its scary

yet the hope doesn't die sometimes

and this undieing hope

takes us out of our bad times

once out

we forget the dark

and start from where we left

doing one mistake

after the other

till we die

And we are dieing,

we think

we are taking with us

all our wishes

all our hopes

but we r soo wrong.

we die and leave our dreams

for those who are alive

and thus this continues

the earth spins

the trees dance

the mountains smile

to see us doing meaningless things

to get meaningless things

we are so insane....

To our Motherland you've pledged your life,

Leaving behind a family - parents, children and wife.

Each day a challenge, a threat untold,

We live in ignorance, for the guard you hold.

With gallantry unmatched you fight all foes,

Epitomes of strength, our real life heroes.

Not a single enemy doth escape your vigilant eyes,

You protect her with all, the fire never dies.

Amidst all strife she shines unscathed,

It's the radiance of your valour in which she is bathed.

She’s Our Motherland too, but you chose to sacrifice,

I salute thy spirit O' Guardian of the skies.

Tear...

I don’t know the reason why,
A small tear rolled down my eye,
I did not want to be a loser, never wanted it to win,
but it made its ways through my cheeks and rested on my chin.

The tiny drop fell on my hand, it shined like a dew,
And on its fall, I felt good, why? I had no clue,
I looked at that drop and asked it why,
I am feeling better, is it a lie?

It said nothing and in some time evaporated in air,
And now I knew for sure, why I felt better,
It was nothing but a sorrow which was hidden inside me,
Smiling I was from outside, so that nobody can see.

Little did I realize, it was trying hard to release,
And today as it melted from my eyes, I felt at ease.

Love Vs Like

Love Vs Like

In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster

But, in front of the person you like, you get happy.

If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush.

But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.

In front of the person you love, you can't say everything on your mind.

But in front of the person you like, you can.

In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy.

But in front of the person you like, you can show your own self.

You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love.

But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.

When the one you love is crying, you cry with them.

But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.

The feeling of love starts from the eye

But the feeling of like starts from the ear.

So if you stop liking a person you used to like, all you need to do is cover your ears.

But if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever

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.

As I move on...

As I move on...

As I lay on the death bed,
Besides me stood the angels around,
Holding my hands, as I need to move out…

And my eyes filled with the pictures
so clear of yesteryears passed.
To my own have I hurt,
have I felt the pain and suffered,

I now move on and there is no brother no sister,
I have to move alone,
And there is no relation I have to move alone,
So why carry this burden of memories so heavy…

Let God Bless all around,
I need to move on and on…

Love is the only language that I knew when I was born,
In my mother’s arms I felt was only love,
As I move along, to my Lord Eternal,
I feel blessed by the same love.

What I said and what I did
would be now soon buried,
what I lived will be only past
as I cease from this world vast.

If Love is all that binds us together,
How does it matter what’s your creed or color…
Let all left behind me be blessed and touched by love
This is all that I wish as I move along…
And the time stood by, as I fly deep within me…

All is dark as my life passes on…
and I can see only eternal light.
I fear not, as this is not so unknown,
I fear not as there are some more lessons to be learnt…

There I feel peace abundant,
there I meet all my beloveds,
The path is full of hopes and dreams…
And I move on and on…

Again Some Day

Again Some Day

As a tear ran down my cheek...

I caught it with a smile...

I wiped it away for a little while

Thoughts of her, raced through my mind

So little time, so little was the smile

As my tear turned to sorrow

I could feel my heart pounding

I opened my eyes, only wishing for her

As my eyes gazed into the sunset

I knew in my heart...

I would shed that tear

Again some day.....

By Abhi

U r my only asset to whom i owe

"u r my only asset to whom i owe"

Silently, I sit by the window gazing the horizon

As for me it seems the time has frozen

Darkness is all what is pouring in

The only sound I can hear is my heart beating

My eyes feeling sleepy and heavy with pain

I could see on my cloth-the nasty red stain

 

I know there is nothing more for me to gain

Still I am continuing my desperate prayers-all in vain 

A sudden nightmare has shattered my identity

Which counted on me an irreversible casualty

 

A drunken driver, and for saving a child

He left me amidst the world howling wild

Together we had embarked on a treasured love

With our innate pious feelings well gelled up

He always would say

         "A life full of hardships, I was leading

         And from nowhere as an angel you walked in"

He was there to hold my hands always

To make me the happiest with his crazy ways

When I feared that I would be left lonely

My dearest one would embrace cozily

Kicking my feelings of life's agony

But now I sit by the window gazing the horizon

As my life slowly engulfing the deadly poison

One day he had whispered to me low

"You are my only asset to whom I owe"

Now dear, it’s my turn to show

That I can fight all the shackling woes

Now, I can feel my pain getting numb

Reaching for you dear, just hold my arm

The frozen time has again started flowing

As I sit by the window with my eyes closing

A second chance

A second chance
As I went walking through a forest,

I saw a waterfall, enchanting and wild.

Oh I loved that flowing water,

Oh I wanted to dive deep inside.



I was hoping to unfold a mystery,

To see the world from other side,

Scary though it seemed at first,

But I had made up my mind for the ride.



I closed my eyes, said a silent prayer,

Lifted my feet from the ground into air.

As I fell down with the water,

I could feel the wind play with my hair.



I went to the land of seas,

Those mermaids, the fishes, the pearls white,

I then wished to stay there forever,

I kept admiring this world all night.



I got up the next day, on the sea bed,

Oh I longed for air, I lost my breath in the sea,

I wanted to shout for help,

But there was none to hear me.



Suddenly a hand came down from above,

Took my hand in his hands and took me along,

He brought me back to my world which I left,

But that was the place where I belong!



I was not walking through the forest,-I was walking through life,

I had grief in my heart, n I began to wonder…

Will I get something better if I take the plunge?

Oh I wish to that thought I did not surrender.



I jumped down,

and for one day the world seemed fine,

But the world I had entered,

Didn’t just seem to be mine.



I didn’t lose my breath in the sea-

I missed the one I love,

Then I prayed he’ll come back for me,

To take me back above.





So just when things go wrong once,

Don’t jump into that alluring waterfall,

It might seem beautiful at first,

But its not worth you even with its pearls n all.



If life has blessed you with a heart that loves you,

Don’t lose it because of a simple mistake.

Instead, nurture it with understanding and trust,

So just give another chance for love’s sake.



So go back now, and make up with them,

give them just another chance to show,

love is not about all good moments,

it can also sometimes face the times low.



“If I am ever not the man who I am now-

Its only you who can bring me back” once said he….

Today I just want one chance for us,

You once said I am your angel,

And today I promise I will be ..Ash
