Those eyes……
Looked hither and thither
Totally restless
Walking up and down
I was watching him
With great admiration
How attractive he looks!
May I touch him once
His head angled at me at last
Eyes looked into mine for a moment
In a flash he turned his head away
Did he fear of falling for me
My heart wanted
To cuddle him once
He didn’t understand
My overflowing love
I adored him from wherever I was
Not to disturb him in anyway
Finally…..
He quickly moved away
Wish I too have wings
Just like him ………
To enjoy a joyful flight
And forget the pains of life!

Starry gaze
It was an evening
I was lying on the beach
Enjoying the he-man sea
Kissing his beloved shore
He comes back again and again
To his permanent love
Night and day he touches her
But never gets satiated
I smiled at this nature’s drama
Always orderly and unchanged
Noises around me slowly faded away
Could see a few shadows here and there
Turned my gaze towards the sky
In that dark liquid atmosphere
Stars winked at me personally
I was excited to see their gesture
My pupil started admiring them one by one
What a beautiful design on the space!
My mind instantly dug from memory
Of its size and its hot state
But my heart refused to accept
As its beauty is irresistible
I wonder now ……
How would the sky look without these stars
Themes would have eluded the poets
Astronomy, a subject of fiction
Twinkling rhymes a dream
And charm gone from the sky
Forever……..
Of course, without our own star Sun
Earth would have perished
Including you and me
I understood…….
Each star is unique in its own way
In the nature’s scene
Only when stars are seen together
In the black canvas of creation
They give an adoring finish to the sky
And a feast to our eyes
Yes, you are one such star
So am I!

That voice...
I don’t see him
But I get thrilled
I don’t talk to him
Yet I travel to different worlds
In a corner I sit quietly
Yet his rays beam me
I only hear his voice
And melt and melt…..
With my eyes closed
I waited patiently
His name was announced
My heart came to my mouth
Mikes were checked
I felt my pulse
Instruments ready
I became restless
That mellifluous voice
Finally came alive….
I am a dullard in all ways
Yet that voice soaked me
Those great display of feelings
Killed my pride & vanity
Tears trickled down
Felt an upsurge of emotions in the heart
He ended his sonata at last
But I reveled inside
Everybody left including him
I returned home with his voice
I am waiting with my eyes closed
Patiently and longingly…..
To hear him sing one more time
And simply vanish in thin air
I know not what is music
Yet I appreciate every art work of man
For such excellence only reveal
A glimpse of cosmic love
But I get thrilled
I don’t talk to him
Yet I travel to different worlds
In a corner I sit quietly
Yet his rays beam me
I only hear his voice
And melt and melt…..
With my eyes closed
I waited patiently
His name was announced
My heart came to my mouth
Mikes were checked
I felt my pulse
Instruments ready
I became restless

And simply vanish in thin air

Yet I appreciate every art work of man
For such excellence only reveal

A wish
Life is……
Wonderful and thrilling
Unexpected surprises keep visiting her
Her tender heart cries many times for a giant leap
But it never happens however
She goes on as usual
The punctures of life never wither her
For……
She locks her treasures in her heart carefully
And reminisces them within her
One day……
She will vanish from this world
And take her treasures with her
To the other world
I wish her all the very best
Wonderful and thrilling
Unexpected surprises keep visiting her
Her tender heart cries many times for a giant leap
But it never happens however
She goes on as usual
The punctures of life never wither her
For……
She locks her treasures in her heart carefully
And reminisces them within her
One day……
She will vanish from this world
And take her treasures with her
To the other world
I wish her all the very best

Will I ever....
Rhyming endings
Look like a distant dream
Grammar of the language
Laughs at my clumsy trials
Words of dictionary
Seem alien to my standard
Vocabulary of my brain
Kicks me never to start
Beautiful handwriting
An art I have to learn
Memory of my mind
Applauds for its lapse
Computer software
Is difficult to handle
Reading books
Is conquered by sleep
Looking outside
Still themes elude my hand
Thoughts to ponder
None I have however
I jumped up once
To paint my thoughts
That demanded me to write
But my proud assets
Refuse to leave me alone
I try to drive them all away
But its love is so great
I am also drooled by its charm
Still….
Someday I wish
To write a poem and post here
Can anyone agree loudly
To take my assets away
And lend your radiance
I hear none come forward
Never mind folks
One day you will find one
With all its glitter
Out of my own hardwork
But……
A final question
Will I ever do it……
I doubt
Look like a distant dream
Grammar of the language
Laughs at my clumsy trials
Words of dictionary
Seem alien to my standard
Vocabulary of my brain
Kicks me never to start

Memory of my mind

Never mind folks
One day you will find one
With all its glitter
Out of my own hardwork
But……
A final question
Will I ever do it……
I doubt
I was all alone
The other day……
I was sitting all alone
In the midst of furniture
Totally unmoved like a statue
No temptation for books
Thoughts all over my body
But no inclination to write
Lots of work I had
But no mood to do anything
My joy reflected in every cell
Wanted to touch the sky
Be a bird for a free fly
But…..
I was all alone…..
I was all alone…..
At those silent moments
You got my message
Heard my thumping pulse
From a distant land
Called me for a chat
Played and replayed the song
The lyrics you typed it out
We spoke less but heard more
Even then…..
I was sitting all alone
But you were with me
Now I don’t recollect the song
Or the soothing tune
Or the wonderful words
But….
I cherish only those moments
You gave for me
To make my heart blush with joy
I tell about you to all
She is wonderful always to me
Do you hear me say again and again
Come back as fast as you can
Come back as fast as you can
I was sitting all alone
In the midst of furniture
Totally unmoved like a statue
No temptation for books
Thoughts all over my body
But no inclination to write
Lots of work I had
But no mood to do anything
My joy reflected in every cell
Wanted to touch the sky
Be a bird for a free fly
But…..
I was all alone…..
I was all alone…..

She is wonderful always to me
Do you hear me say again and again
Come back as fast as you can
Come back as fast as you can

Glimpses
Garland and bouquets given
Chocolates, coins and flowers
Strewn all around the seats
Cheek to cheek touching
Tight embrace of love
A group of ten they may be
I watched those faces closely
Love gleamed in unison
In welcoming the old couple
Who were looking very supple
In the airport I saw this scene
Wondered within myself
Will this love be everlasting
Though I am touched deeply
By this enactment of show
They left the place soon
Candies and coins smiled on the floor
Men and kids grabbed them in fast pace
Cleaner cleared the floor quickly
The scene is wiped out completely
With a thought, I went upstairs
And saw my sweet little honey over there
With her black skin and twinkling eyes
Her infectious smile with her guitar in hand
Welcomed me with a big hug
We giggle a lot forgetting our ages
Today she sent me a message ‘I miss you’
For she has left me for good
Tears or cries she does all alone
In front of others she is just a smiling kid
Sorry, no tears I have for you
All that I have is only love for you
You are there in my heart forever
I can never miss you my dear
But still my lips say, ‘I miss you dear’
Yes, really I miss you here
Chocolates, coins and flowers
Strewn all around the seats
Cheek to cheek touching
Tight embrace of love
A group of ten they may be
I watched those faces closely
Love gleamed in unison
In welcoming the old couple
Who were looking very supple
In the airport I saw this scene
Wondered within myself
Will this love be everlasting
Though I am touched deeply

Candies and coins smiled on the floor

For she has left me for good
Tears or cries she does all alone
In front of others she is just a smiling kid
Sorry, no tears I have for you
All that I have is only love for you
You are there in my heart forever
I can never miss you my dear
But still my lips say, ‘I miss you dear’
Yes, really I miss you here

Touching moments...
I entered the shop yesterday
Saw her with her mother
Couldn’t take my eyes off
Up and down I went
She turned her head around
Wanted to touch her
But scared of mother
Stopped in front for a while
Mother gave me a look
The girl's was a beautiful smile
My knowledge melted
Heart danced in ecstasy
Wanted to hold her hands
She again grinned at me
With her upper teeth shown
Her soft skin glowed in light
Finally touched her nose
And fell flat for her smile
Love swept me off
She won my heart again
Bid bye to her with love
My heart was contented
Longed to become one like her
Such a smile I don’t have
After all, she is a babe in mother’s arms
Saw her with her mother
Couldn’t take my eyes off
Up and down I went
She turned her head around
Wanted to touch her
But scared of mother
Stopped in front for a while
Mother gave me a look
The girl's was a beautiful smile
My knowledge melted
Heart danced in ecstasy
Wanted to hold her hands
She again grinned at me
With her upper teeth shown
Her soft skin glowed in light
Finally touched her nose
And fell flat for her smile
Love swept me off
She won my heart again
Bid bye to her with love
My heart was contented
Longed to become one like her
Such a smile I don’t have
After all, she is a babe in mother’s arms
Frozen Frames
The stadium is lit, people are made to sit and the stage is ready for the grand drama of the day.
The Opera House quivers a bit in excitement, for it is going to give a grandiose welcome in gay.
People wait with bated breath and the silence of the hall beats the best orchestrated symphony of the world.
I slowly find a place in a corner in that packed hall without inviting my neighbour’s looks of cold.
All of a sudden the lights are off and the curtain rises with a big thunder of applause.
A gorgeous girl enters the scene with the eyes of a deer and the softness of a flower in a vase.
She laughs with regular weeps, dances with bruised cuts and sings a song of soliloquy with a tearful smile.
Her lovely heart radiates the podium and touches even the chords of people watching her munching popcorn for a while.
I look at those beside me glued to the drama shedding torrents of tears for her life of failure.
As I set my eyes on her, I find her walking and walking tirelessly all alone only to fall out of gear.
She lays motionless on the pieces of wooden crumbs and the fire of blaze touches the sky.
Totally moved, all give a standing ovation as a mark of respect for a failed life as the ticket is a good buy.
The acting is great for the feelings are too subtle to emote, I hear one comment upon.
As the curtain falls down, they all rush towards the exit to see their world that is still on.
The actors are gone, the lights are off and the door is closed leaving me behind in that dark place.
At those frozen moments of intense sadness, two teardrops fall on my cheeks to draw a map on my face.
I suddenly realize it is my own ordinary life that was enacted all along to the order of perfection.
With a smile, I, the spirit, wake up and slid through the wall to feel the breeze outside in satisfaction.
