Nostalgia

I fail to understand what hits me today
As I miss the lost waves in the sea of time
I mesmerize myself with tales of the last season
And roll down the window once again.

As I see ahead, the past beckons me
Or rather, it pines for me!
I miss my golden friends and the careless whispers
For the fights and make ups that did my world

Speaking of world, those were the days
When my world had just one form of tension
When life worries was only about marks
And fun revolved around rustic swings

Today I swing between the present and the past
What could have been a greater gift than my childhood?
Days that I could trade for a million dollars
Really! I still pine for that lovely life

And when I sit up and smile at the fond memories
I know what brings a spring in my step
Something that forms a part of my lifelong cherishes
Yes! I know what hits me is Nostalgia!!

Is it asking for too much??

A hand that lifts itself in the air
To ask for another hand;
A look that perks itself on another pearly pair
To ask for a receptive glare;
Is it asking for too much??

Not that I wanted to walk the forbidden path
And eat the forbidden fruit!
Just that I wanted to taste the potion once
All in the hope of my one last pursuit!!

A pursuit of my inner wishes
Which somehow just refuses to surface?
As I stand before the mirror to make the time stop
Suddenly it seems that it has caught pace!

A pace that I’m unable to move along with,
A truth that stares me in the face,
Has the golden slush proven to be just a myth??
Is what I’m left wondering!

And finally even when I learn to live this wave of change
Do the two hearts still not want to unite one last time?
For all that has been unspoken between them since eternity,
Do they not want their thoughts to rhyme one last time?
Is it asking for too much??

My new glory

My new glory!

Today something seems just so right!
The air feels lively and bright…
It just not a swirl that takes me off the hook!
Oh good lord! I feel like a fairytale book…

A book that shines beyond its cover...
My dimples oblige by sucking in a little more
It is not a day to rake up the gone griefs
Coz the face just wants to smile and adore

For the stories that hit me before
I wondered when they shall learn to recognize me
I see no fear attached to it any more
As I know, Yes! The mirror still rings a bell for me

A bell rings in a distinct tune…..
Says the girl is still the same
Even if she has now learnt the tricks nice and proper
Her simplicity and heart are no fleeting game

A game that shrieks….This is it!
The silly tales that knocked me down;
Well today they stand beside me as my pride
And well! Those people cant help but frown.

Frown for them, and merry for someone!
Yesterday might have been their day!!
Today wishes to script a new story…
The ones that fill my life with joy and glory!!!!

Just love...and nothing!!

Just love and nothing!!


The day is divine
And the breeze is scented
O good lord! Is this just ideal for a summer romance??
Somehow the heavens just seem to oblige
And voila!it started!!

I am on a joy ride
And I refuse to step off
Let me go through the exciting laps I insist
What if tomorrow never comes??

For all those who say love is bitter
Here’s an eye opener
Love never dies
It’s just the carrier that exports

He needs to know he is special!!
Why do you still fight your emotions I ask?
Let it take its own steam
And gulp down this potion of love

Alas! No guilt I allow you
Coz I am party to the lovely crime
And if at all you doubt your sanity
Come to me! I’ll capture you inside my heart!!

Flashback

Flashback


As I peel back the pages of my gone liaisons
And reflect on my formative years…
I see a face, a face that was my inspiration for a new sunrise each morning
A motivation to fight the world each day!!

As I curl up today, I wonder-what took you away from me??
I fail to understand what snapped the childhood ribbon…
Those dolls and lollipops that unwillingly I had to take to because of you
Well! Today they seem almost a distant dream

How I long for those giggles and innocent banters
The puerile appeal that almost clinched my young heart
The eyes that taught me how to see life as being beautiful
Well it’s all gone today! Coz the clock has ticked ahead!

The candy is left tasteless
The teddy bear seems dead!
Oh! Even if the pages wish to turn yellow
I’ll still make sure they turn Red!

Red! The color of your heart and mine
The emotion that first consumed us both, from the moment we recognized it!
The shadows still scream for your and my reunion!
Oh! Come and bring the liaison alive again, sketch a new sunrise for me again!

Distance

Distance

I stepped out today, wanting to reach out to you
But realized in a matter of few pulses, you are not here!
Far as much as you may seem today,
I still wanted to keep you close to me
But a roar arose, and it dawned-there is a distance!!


Distance, of what I make no bones about
Console, is what I do to myself
Abhor, the fact that you’ll be taken ahead by your new life
And suppress, is what I do to my emotions


As I stand here today lifeless, well almost
I know I am stoned!!
Stoned with life’s decision of me
Or consumed by the sheer warmth of your heart?
That I still feel the same for you even today
Provides no respite to my urge of wanting to move ahead in time


Choose to throw me out of your way!
How I wish you would learn to hate me forever
Coz I know affections do no good to us
We are the mavericks wanting to get on with our separate paths
But what to do of their defiance,
That just does not let us go far far apart??

My kingdom of love

My kingdom of love


The kingdom of love beckons me!
The chandeliers of affection tinkle over me
The cups of wisdom dangle over me
And; the birds of conscience flutter over me

Did I just get swept away by a sea wave of the enlightenment?
What is it that makes me value the prettiest things today, I wonder?
Suddenly God seems to sprinkle on my head the realization of a lifetime
Whatever I took for granted, today stands as my most precious treasure

But who’s complaining for all that has happened!
I know now, we all are just doers of his wishes
Fools that we are, don’t understand that it is just what are life urges and pines for
Mistaken shadows that loom! we think we are getting doomed!

Tales of doom!!
AH!How I wish we would learn the tricks of his game
He is not executing us on the stone
It is just a game of a different kind, the essence still being the same.

The essence that we all yearn for all our lives and do get it also
Is that of content and peace
But why is it that before every new step in our walk of life
We question ourselves, “ is it all worth the pain and grief? ”
