I LOVE YOU

I remember the day,still my dear
When you gently asked
Why i loved you so
All these long long years..

I looked at you and smiled
Then wondered how it can be told
Though there are a million reasons
To hold you close to my heart

Yet the answer to this cant be found
For love is true when it's without reasons
Spoken by the eyes,heard by the heart
Joined by prayers when far apart

Carved is your name
In the silent corner of my soul
Embedded in my heart
Forever the smile you hold

Adorned are my dreams
With the sunrays that fall
down the lanes of life
where we together walk..

It was long ago,years have flown by since
Gifting us special days to cherish..
With children and Grandchildren
we laugh at our memories..

But i still remember that day
When the world stood most pretty
The golden clouds were shy
As the timid wind rustled a melody

And you stood there,I remember still
Those tears that fell on my shoulders
As i hugged you and softly whispered
"I love you and That's all I know"

A GIFT

Across the horizon the litl boat of love ..
we set sail moving slow..
Tides of time rise and fall
Parting ways before we go..
A gift for u pretty red..
Abrus seeds of memories bled..
A litl box wrapped with love
Sealed with prayers and a ribbon above..
In memories of our childhd days
Before we go our own ways..
And ur smiles my prayers guard from pain
Till the day wen we shal meet again...

THE CHANGE

                                                                     
Once i asked someone wise
well,tell me what's wrong with world today..
His eyes gleamed,then softly spoke
World becomes smaller with each passing day...

Only on lips smiles reside..
Truth was buried quite long ago..
Kindness was sold for silver bucks
And none could make out friend from foe..

Destroying her chaste,the nature you robbed
Even her tears, rivers were dry..
Orphaned wild,silent birds
Lost forever their tree and sky

The sight of blood nor a child's cry                  
Can move your heart so cold..
You laugh often but are u really glad
Remember long back your joy was sold..

You cling onto things-this is mine
You never liked to share
Letters were dead friends long forgotten
You rush to move on, but to where?

To the world your eyes were shut
You built fences strong and tall
Huddled up in your little world of yours..
Behind dark curtains you hid from all

You fight with your brothers,yourselves
your neighbours even your blood you hate..
You are proud of battles won
what a pity!! you think you are great??

I hung my head in shame
from the depth of heart came fumbled words
"I want a change tell me how
To revert the world to a better place?"
                                                                   
With the calmness of ocean said the wise man
"It's time the the doors of your heart shall open
Shut your eyes to yourself ,see the world
Let your words be true and softspoken..

And bring back her,'The Eternal Love'
Let her fill every human mind
She can be the change you want to see
Rising as a phoenix from ashes you left behind!!!"

WHEN SHE COMES..

Through the half open door
of your heart,soft footsteps..
The time you least expect her
She steps in..
With long lovely fingers
Blindfold your eyes
You exclaim in awe..
And then you see
The world prettier than paradise...
Roses bloom ;red a little more red!
The skies,the oceans more serene and blue..
Hues come alive.
Hide in your cheeks..
The gold of the dusks
As she speaks..
"The silence of your eyes
someone read long ago,,
your smiles lit up someone's dawns
like sunrays on a dew..
For you were in someone's thoughts
Long gone days fresh and new.."
Softly when she whispers these
Light as air you are..
Yet somewhere lurks a pain..
you cannot explain..
Hopes and fears intertwine..
your autumn trees shall flower..
Forlorn winters nowhere seen
on your life's pages ;empty.. white..
A brush to paint your dream..!
You stand in the drizzle,wondering who
thus changed you,quiet and meek..
Gently from above,,
Eternal she remains..
And someone called her LOVE

An Ode To The Rain

The waiting was uncertain,i knew it always

Days seemed long..so were the nights..

you never gave promises..i realize

The waiting was uncertain,i knew it always..

Dried up rivers told many tales

Of turbulent days long long back.

Like an old lady saying the charm

Of her once long hair,thick and black..

Shrivelled up trees whimpered low

Thirsty birds had cuddled up high

The wind was warm even at night

you didnt come ..for the sky remained bright!!

Cracks began to appear

In the soil,in my heart..

I looked up the sky;so blue;it seemed

I failed to read your clouds..

Or you,my eyes.. perhaps.!

You never gave promises i realise

Let the waiting end with me

So to the skies,i closed my eyes..

But then,all on a sudden

Descending from heavens

You kissed my forehead!!

And left me wondering

Was it your love or

My own tears

Was it joy or Was it pain

Flowing down my cheeks...

And softly whispered the breeze

" The Eternal Rain"

DISTANT DREAMS

Far Far away from these busy busy days
Amidst the green fields silvered by streams
Prettier than palaces,mansions dwells
A little cottage of my dreams..

On it's rooftop evening splashes gold
Memories lurk there,it's long corridors..
Around the great courtyard our kids shall run
And on the garden swing,often visits the spring..

And on those moon-lit nights
When love falls like gentle rain
Hand in Hand we shall walk
Down those silent lanes

Here, by the stream..your silence merges into mine
Under the stars,a thousand tales untold..
Your silence speaks..oh!how magical!!!
Those beautiful words of love.unfold...

Once in a while we shall go
Journeys with the wind..
Have stupid little fights,frown and smile
Laugh till our stomachs shall ache..in the end!!

And when i fall ill,at times..i hope
Though autumn leaves fall and whither away..
You will be ,by my side as always
A soothing touch,the whole long day..

Be it the little blessings heaven sends
Or the sorrows,,bitter tests in life
Each little moment we shall share
For i shall  remain ur loving wife..

On our wedding day each year
Gift me nothing but a bright red rose
Take me to the seashore where sunrays  paint

Those colours of love  on dusky skies..

Neither Jealousy nor hatred ever shall break

These strong knots of trust and care

Faces may wrinkle;.our hairs may grey

But never leave each others' hand any day..

Years and years from here

These little  dreams shall come true..

With prayers and hopes and all my love

Dear,.I shall wait for you..!!

 

HIDE AND SEEK

This game we liked and we played
Seldom noticed the little childhood
Stealthily creeping away..
Growing up was fun-a silly thought!!


Days chase nights and nights day
Moon hides in the dark to avoid the sun
And wind chased all
But was found by none!!


Taking turns we played
This Life's strange little game..


We hid behind pillars of lies
or deep in pits of silly excuses
just to escape being caught'
By those clever eyes of love..


And one fine day..
The game stopped midway
Days have stood aside
For years to roll by..



Growing up was pain..
Nobody but friendship won the GAME..

Strange Friends..

Some friends are really strange

Though far far away                                        
They make u feel special
often at the end of day...

Some friends are really strange
They never expect anything in return
But their love for you is  infinite
like the lovely stars..the burning sun

Some friends are really strange
They need you and that they know
But for ur happiness
they will warmly let you go..


Some friends are really strange
For they never fear goodbyes
Deep within hearts ,they realize
Friendship never dies...
