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

Little questions

 I had written this poem years ago when i was in sixth std...its all about a child's curiosity...

                                            Little questions

Many questions to ask
No answers to be found
I looked round and round
Whom should i ask


Many questions arise
I should find someone wise
To answer them all..
The questions are but small


How can the birds fly
And why is the moon so high?
I wonder why does the sun  hide
In the hills beside!


Who gave colours to the rainbow?
And what made the nature woe?
Is it because of the changing man
who destroys her whenever he can?


In autumn why the leaves are shed?
Is it because there is none to hear what they said?
Why are tears like raindrops?
And why is man full of hopes?


In spring why flowers bloom?
In winter why they are in gloom?
What made the birds sing
And spread out their wing?


Why does the tendril hug a tree?
And why does the caged bird want to be free?
Is it because freedom is great
And is slavery something we hate?


Who made the life so colourful?
Who made it joyful and sorrowful?
Who made it as fast as light?
Who made it as beautiful as sunset?


There are lot many questions more
To get answers for.
If someone comes to answer them
Im sure he can answer only some..


I will wait and see..
Who comes to answer me...
Is there anyone who can answer all?
The questions are but small!!

REMEMBERING YOU

I remember u when the sun goes down,
When the dark night leaves me alone...
When stars do wink at me and say,
You are so far far away..


 I remember you when the evening paints
The blue sky red and gold and it pains
Me too; to think of you and long gone days
Which fills my heart with evening rays..


I remember you when this lovely rain
Chatter down my window pane...
Down the lane of mind..alone i fidget
For memories are too sweet to forget.!


I remember you when this little breeze
caress me..my hair and forlorn trees
And the fragrance of my jasmine flowers
Bring your thoughts under the summer showers..


I remember you dear as days fly away
Life goes on..But never rewinds a day
I remember you and thats all i can do..
And my silent prayers..my Gift for you..

A PORTRAIT OF LIFE

Some people say life is a game;
But others dont think the same
"Life is a challenge" they may say
Or something for which we cant pay.




"what is life?" everybody asks
But agrees it is full of tasks
We can say life is a delicious dish
Or a race with an unknown finish


With sweet memories and bitter moments
With sugary friends and salty foes
All agree there is gain and loss
And life ,it is so nice...


To astronomers life is as endless as space
Which some people end in a haste..
To scientists life is something new
Which is yet to discover for you..


To an engineer life is a plan
To a doctor it is the service u can
To a musician life is a melody
To a minister it is caring for the needy...


To a writer life is a book of hopes
Whose pages are wet with tear drops
To a poet it is a journey;unknown
Where we meet and part our beloveds and go on..


To a child life is a world of colours
A world of trees and flowers
When we are aged life is loneliness
With none but memories with us...


To a student it is the fulfilling of an aim
to the youth it is the enjoying time
To a mother it is sacrifice and care
to a father it is the moments to share...


Each life has something to tell
Before parting to heaven or hell
A message to us it has to convey
Before we select our own way....




Life is something which we cant predict
Only we can flow with it's current
Don't care about it's beginning or end
Realize how usefully it should be spent!

THE ANGEL OF HOPE

You meet me often with my basket
And i have golden keys to your dream's casket..
I sail through the sky with my basket of hopes
And pour from it..pretty rain drops!!

Why are you sad ,my little human
when there awaits you,the eternal heaven?
Learn to dream,aim high and fly
Let there be no tears left for me to dry.........


Be bold;face life as it is...
Be charming as the evergreen trees..
Never you fret;for life's too sweet to hold
A lovely tale..beautifully told..


Smile at worries coming your way
Shed a tear;but gone is yesterday
sweet are memories....but caress more
The footprints you leave today on sea shore!!


Accept realities before its late
Let there be nothing you ever hate..
For i shall fill your bowls with heavenly love
and  keep you smiling like stars above..


Do to the world the good you can
and you will be the greatest man....
Enlighten your life with hopes and dreams
For the world is not what it seems...

So come ,you earthly thing..hold my hand
As i guide you with my magic wand..
when you have lived this life's  to the fullest,when you die...
On to the heavens we shall together fly..........

An Ode To Autumn Leaves

   

                                                      Oh!autumn leaves sad and dry
                                                      You weep looking towards the sky
                                                      Shivering on the branches of a tree
Afraid to fall;yet longing to be free....


Coloured with memories old
Alone in the bitter cold
Whispering to yourselves u stay
Watching the day fade away....


When u hear the wind's flute
U suddenly go very mute
Afraid to be carried off
Yet in the air longing to float!!


Many a sunray u have touched...
Much in mist and fog u were engulfed
Silvered by the lightning amidst night;
An adorned bride in morning light.


You have stayed for long
A life as a melodious as a song
Now is to end. as you are off
In this autumn wind u are carried off....


like my memories u fly
Beneath the pale autumn sky
Down here u lie as a heap
From a life so short to a sleep so deep.....


It reminds me of the shattered dreams of man
I know nothing ever can
Bring that green back on ur cheeks of gold......
Here i sat sad, and weak and old


Under this lonely autumn tree
Whispering to her" oh,tree...u are like me"
