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...

THE PIANO

THIS IS ABOUT A PIANO'S THOUGHTS.....

I lie abandoned in this room... so dark...
In a corner  cold and lone..
Wanted by none but for the eight legged one
To lay the silvery threads just for fun..

The dusty windows and the dirty curtains
Hide from me the dusks and dawns..
The flowers and the green and the lovely rain..
And me here forlorn and insane...

I'm speechless..my words are lost
For tell me without love, will music play?
We live when there are people to care..
For world becomes lovely when there is someone to share..

Black and white ..the keys of my life
Still hide those songs but none to play on..
Where have u gone my little girl
leaving me alone in this world?

For i tell you she used to touch..
My little keys and made me sing
With my heart  , the music of life
Immersing all ,the world within..

With soft lace..she used to wipe away dust
and make me shimmering with so much lust
And through the windows she let in
The wind to play and the sun rays to stay...

Now  only her cute picture hangs  on this wall..
And why her mother cries seeing her smiling face?
i wonder where has she hidden from us
its such a long time.. where has she gone?

Days fly and i wait here..for those footsteps soft
or the humming of that little notes..
That gentle touch to wake me up
From this sad slumber of loneliness..

I wish a star would just fly in
Breaking those dusty windows to this room
And my little girl would run to me
And everywhere fills the music of love.....

FOR YOU...MY FRIEND.....

Under the starry nights i think of you....
In the autumn evenings i never feel lonely too...
bc'oz recalling the moments we did share
I feel your presence everywhere...


In the fading dusk i see ur grace
The blue serene sky portraits your face..
I hear thy voice in a monsoon shower
And your smile in every rose flower


I know we are miles apart..
but still you are always close to my heart
There your memories lie lulled by summer rain
somewhere someday will we meet again?!


 The sweet memories of times together spent
Make me wonder how fast years went..
from little frocks and dolls we have travelled far...
But still  we remain what we are..


The hands of time..miles and places
Can separate only our faces...
But  harder and harder even if they try
They cant separate our hearts till we diE..


For ours is a friendship full of love
Joined once but forever by the almighty above..
These words for u ...i send
Just to remind u always..u r my best friend
