True Christmas

Everything Sparkles
Everything glitters
Shoppers all around 
Jingles and sounds
There is much to see,smell and taste..
Everyone however seems to be in a haste...
There are frowns and wrinkles as families step out with bags and bills
Bickers too and endless lists...
I walk around searching for a smile, hand in hand with no bags in sight...
For couples, singles, friends and partners
Who ha...

Dawn

When a beautiful day awakens
The sky unfolds itself slowly from its sleeps
Blushes as she unravels her beauty
The birds serenade her
The trees sway
The morning dew glistens just for her
The fresh air whispers in her ear...
The flowers giggle..
The sun peeks slowly so as not to startle her...
The bees buzz a sweet hum to get her going
The mist covers her as the sky sighs and gets ready fo...

Ice-cream solves everything!

When I feel down 
A cone with bubblegum flavor does the trick...
When I am elated
Choclate Chip is the right pick....
Icecream in any mood fits right in...
It is just the best thing...
Berries, nuts, fruits or marshmallows....
Mix it all up or have it solo...
Maple cone or smores...
A problem scoots off in a scoop or more!! 
Large is never enough 
Breaking even the tough...
So when you...

The Sunflowers

They dance in the fields full of light
Their faces shine bright
Swaying to the unheard rhythm only they hear
They stand majestic 
A spectacular sight
They inspire even the most sullen..
You can't help but smile
 in their magic befallen
Even on days that are grey...
They seek their light from each other
Smiling away...
these fields of Sunflower
Helps me aspire, inspire, and transcend...

Being ME

I pause... I breathe... I dream a little... I scream a little... A tear falls... A smile rolls... I laugh a lot... I whine a lot... I shake it up... I calm it down... A part of me is shy... A part of me flaunts... I can be me... And still not be... If I feel it... I seal it... Every moment matters... Living it too... Sometime the heart rules... Sometimes the brain... What matte...

Another year passes by..

Another year passes by...
Many a strings I tie...
I shifted to a new world...
Started again in a new mould...
Was it tough?
Was it rough?
I count my blessings for none of the above...
Love can do wonderful things...
It shines in uncertainty like beautiful bling....
I was supported by all those I knew
And by all those I made bridges with anew...
Laughter, love, life...

Wilderness

I walked through the forest...
Treading on the falling leaves...
The air smelled fresh...
The silence of the wilderness had a language of its own..
It rustled, it chirped, it sang, it gurgled, it slithered, it whispered...come into my abode....
Sit, breathe, live a little, hum a little...
See me transform as the season decides to cloak me...
See yourself change as you sit awes...

Home and Heart

I saw the sunrise today
Beyond the little hill..
It will rise again tomorrow..
But for me today time stood still...
I packed up our home today...
With the early sun rays...
Said my goodbye as it was my last day...
Every nook has a little memory...
Every corner it's own story...
The lights we put together twinkle away in my minds eye..
Even as I pull out the plug with a sigh...
Every lit...

YOU AND ME

You and Me...
Me and You...
We were meant to be..
We may not take vows ...
But we are forever in each other's nows...
We met at crossroads of our lives...
Now bound together till end of time...
We are as we are with each other...
We love despite our flaws...
Bound by no laws but love, respect and laughter...
So you and me and me and you...
We are two and yet one

Our Moon

I close my eyes and feel you...
I open them to see you...
It's feels like ages since I have touched you...
It's been lost moments since I felt you...
Despite the absence, the heart grows fonder...
Despite the distances every day I ponder...
My life is tied to yours with an invisible string
Love,affection and camaraderie it brings...
I dream of you when asleep...
Thinking of you many a day...

Marching Clouds

We march away into the light...
Blown by winds beyond the sight...
Moving together,sometimes in directions unknown...
Paths in which our generation has grown...
When we are light we fly away..
When we are laden we drench the way...
The ever changing kaleidoscope of our shapes...
We are party to various animal maps..
Playing with the Sun , moon and stars and at times just going away to let ...

BLISS

Life is passing on..
Moments turning into memories to hold on..
I sit here in my own world...
Trying to find meaning of the chaos around...
With me closed in..
How do I let the light in..
Then a voice within whispers...
Look in your own sanctuary...
You created your own bliss..
Enjoy these silent moments...
And make them into little memories...

Language of Love

When words fail...
The eyes speak...
When the eyes are blurred...
The tears roll...
When tears stop flowing...
The smile conveys...
When the smile stalls...
The fingers communicate...
When the fingers are entangled...
The skin sings...
When the skin is silent...
The heart beats...
When the hum of the heart lightens....
The toes tap...
When the tapping turns to a curl....
The body em...

Precious

We all are struggling...
In the days tumbling away...
Some days are bad...
Some days are sad...
Some you put on a false grin...
On some you just feel like dumping all in the bin...
We all have these sways...
But know...
This too shall pass...
Life has a weird way of showing what matters...
So even though some days are worse than better...
Remember...breathe...share...hug..cry...argue......

Heartbreak

Heartbreaks can be heard...

In the sobs muffled in your old pillow...

In the screams of reason...

In the accusations of what was not done...

In the sights of what could have been done...

In the silence of tears streaming down the cheeks..

In the redness of the eyes which haven't slept a wink...

In the words written to explain a standpoint...

In the snarl when the explanatio...

Strive

There is a sense of silence within...

As the cacophony around continues...

I experienced a heartwrenching feeling...

And it got my brain reeling...

The fear of disconnect..

Because you haven't been able to connect...

Created a sense of vaccum...

Poured in all kinds of gloom...

What ifs took centre stage..

And my thoughts and feelings felt trapped in a cage...

Life is ...

Crossroads

Life always brings you at crossroads..
From one to another you create your milestones..
Milestones which are made of experiences,discoveries,failures,rebounds..
All moving you to the next crossroads..
At some you make friends..
At some you leave behind family
At some you find your soulmate
At some you cheat Death
At some you defy the path well trodden..
At some you just sit in the shade o...

Let's embrace

This year has been hard..
In more ways than one..
We lament about the dreams unfulfilled..
The chances missed..
The lives lost..
The barriers that surround us..
The fear that hounds us..
Among all these dark clouds, sun still rose everyday,
Flowers bloomed, life took some rest..
We bonded whether near or far..
We treasured families together and those apart..
We experienced the pain of m...

Let's wait a little..

In all the noise around..
I find silence within..
In all the storm around..
I find a harbor within..
In the whirlwind of chaos around..
I find an oasis within..
In all the questions around..
I find the answer within..
When you are surrounded by doubts around..
Take a breath..halt your steps..and search within..
Answers will never come to you on a platter..
But when you look within..
Yo...

Inspiration

Some days are like a blank canvas..
No color seems right..
The depth of any brushstroke  doesn't match the emotion within..
Grays merged with Blues loom high on our thoughts..
The yellows  and reds put behind in the memory stock..
What will inspire me now...that is what echoes..
Will I be inspired at all challenges our ethos..
Then this little bird comes perching on my window..
Oblivious o...

FLICKER

With every flicker
There lies a silent note ..
Of a spark 
That will ignite the hope..
Of dreams fulfilled..
Of promises sealed..
Of lives beginnings..
Of sweet endings..
Of aspirations taking wings..
Of twilight that now makes you sing..
The golden ray, bleak as it may be ..
Radiates  in itself..
A sign of life..
Waiting for that surge of power..
To ultimately light up the tower..

My Furry Friend

I have a special bond..
Created from love and trust..
He is my furry buddy, a brother of a sort..
Long I ponder at times,
What does he see..
Gleam in his eyes tell me..
He will always be true to me..

On days I feel mad,
He continues to lick me..
As if to tell me ..don't worry I will always stick with even the icky you, because I always love you..

In my happiness, his joy knows no bou...

The Embrace

The night slips away...
Minute by minute..
Hour by hour...
I hang on to the seconds...
Awake and entangled in your power...
The memories are too strong..
Emotions too ripe..
The moods are all there ..
Wrapping me up all night..
Till sleep takes over..
These thoughts cradle me...
It's like they sense the emptiness in me..
You are my shadow embedded deep in my soul...
But I still need y...

Sleepless night

I lie here on our bed..
Trying to sleep..
The wind is cool today..
The crickets sing away...
I hear the occasional owl hoot..
The silence of the night takes it root...
Memories of you come flashing by..
The hug, the nudge, the rolling close and the rolling off..
I can still smell you in the night cap you wore..
And as I close my eyes, desperately trying to sleep...
Your absence, leaves s...

Storm in a tea cup

There  come days
When you fling your legs and lay in a daze
The ceiling becomes your canvas..
Of your life that was..
Its reels you through the memories..
Of Childhood friends and untold stories..
The splashing in the puddle on rainy days..
The blowing up your gum in million ways...
Those nights on the terrace in pajamas and icecreams..
Those horror movies which played on as you huddled a...

Crave

I crave for a piece of pie and a clear blue sky..
I crave for a walk in the park as ducklings twaddle by..
I crave for the smell of the sea and roasted peanuts..
I crave for that popcorn as we sit through the puppet show that drives us nuts..
I crave for the fragrance of the orange peel you grind up just for me..
I crave for that cold beer as we discuss things far and near to see..
I crave f...

The Colourful Moon

The colourful moon...does it exist?
A couple on the threshold of their first budding romance see its pink hues as they crave for each others company..
The ones who fought and wait for the other to come take them from this gloom see it as grey..
While the one whose love is yet to be reciprocated glances on the moon beams with a heart full of hope,
Drenched in its blue light..
The ones separate...

Love

What is love?
It's the dew on that blushing rose bud..
It's the golden streak across the pink horizon..
It's the candy floss bought by him at the local fair..
It's the teddy won in truth or dare...
It's the stolen glance in a room full of people...
It's the secret kiss to the movie reel on the projector...
It's the smell of his cologne lingering long after he left for work...
It's the drie...

Year gone by..

I lie in bed in a duvet on this pink December morning...
The skies are glowing in the morning blush...
The year passed by flashes in my memory scope...
Two people became one...families began....some departed souls...some struggle to live on...
Distances grew in some relationships...
And distances nurtured some relationships...
Pledges were taken...and promises broken...
Health was all some ...

Solitude

I sit here staring at the sky..
The human buzz has reduced..
You can hear the birds chirp..
You can hear the trees sway...
The wind whistles on it's own...
The Air however feels heavy...
Heavy with doubts,fear,speculation...
Does this how the world standing still feels like?
The heart sinks a little...the brain freezes a little...
Then comes  this songbird chirping at my window..
She sin...

Boxes of Memories

Have you looked through your little boxes of memories?
The pink one filled with a sweet wrapper given by your first beau, the little notes passed around during English classes, the photographs taken in a group with you standing next to him, the receipt of the first coffee together...the pink ribbon which tied thr first little gift,the dried flower which still find its place in the pink box of mem...

Blue Balloon

I hold on to a dream
Like a Blue balloon on a string..
Let my thoughts flow in the possibilities that then stream...
Fear holds me back..so does doubt..shame of failing churns by thoughts in bouts...
I see only wall build up...
My dream shrinks...
Then a little hope knocks my door..
A feeling of hope rises within aglore...

Let me try, let me try..
Let me see if I spread my wings can I f...

Shadows

I sit and wonder...see the shadows play above and ponder..creating a story of its own..waiting for dreams to be woven ...I see only the light and immense possibilities...the darkness does not frighten me ...instead it strengthens the belief...I only need a single spark to overshadow the dark shadows...I only need a hope in my heart to transform the corners into a canvas of my own expression...

Distances

Distances are like a mirage.. It could cover seven seas.. Yet when you want to be together..seven seconds are less... Memories bind you.. With the little things around.. When a thought of you crosses my mind..I know you can feel it too.. It could be a familiar scent..it could be a phrase we shared... it could be that tshirt chosen together..or it could be story behind it... Every little thing find...

When the going gets tough the tough get going..

The days ahead will put us to test..

Our Sanity..
Our Endurance..
Our Resilience..
Our Empathy 
Our Courage
Our Fears
Our Hearts
Our Choices
Our Determination 
Our Love

Garner  your energies..
Negative thoughts are bound to come..
But let your affirmations follow..
We are in this together ..

Silence

Have you noticed a chaos in all the silence...
The clock ticking away....and time slipping away...
That empty page waiting for the lines from the heart...
The lens ready for catching that ray of the rising sun...
The moonbeam filtering through the bedroom net when the room is cloaked in darkness..
Your mind doing a samba as you sit there doing nothing ...
Moments can pass by and morning turn...
