An ode …..

You changed my life with your first hello
the magic in your voice deeply mellow
you whispered in my ear
the words i longed to hear
you made me see the goodness in me
you helped me cope, you gave me hope
you told me thing i wished to know
you guided me, you helped me grow
you never saw the wrong i did
your pain for me , you always hid

If i am a bozo or a mad cap, you’re one too
if i am a rebel with some purpose, it’s all thanks to you
You entered my life just a few years back
and yet it seems as if you know me better than i know myself because
you never laughed at my childish dreams
you accepted me for what i was
nor for the person that i could be
or the person that i should have been
you never tried making a prince of me
as beauty didnt try making a prince of the beast
you never scolded, you let me be
everytime we agreed to disagree
you believed me – when i didnt believe myself

i wont even try thanking you
for this is something language never could import
but if you are what i think you are
you will know what is in my heart

Just Pass By…

For this poem i was inspired by Khushboo M di , one of ma school senior who also had writtena poem on this topic

We used to meet
We used to hug
We used to sip coffee
from single mug
We used to sit together
We used to fight
We used to stare for hours
nothing but horizon in sight
We were so cool
We were so boring
We were so high
We used to touch the sky
Now I question myself
How did it happened and WHY ??
Now when we see each other
we exchange smiles and just pass by

 

Healing Touch

I thought that you would understand
that I too belong to this very land

 

I thought that when I was feeling blue
all I had to is turn to you

 

I thought that you would make my heart feelings lighter
and assure me that the future is a lot brighter

 

I thought that with you by my side
I would cross any sea and ocean or tide

 

I thought that you were above
all those fish in the sea

 

And that you, for one understood me
but how was I to make so much
of something that meant nothing but a
HEALIN TOUCH

 

If only you know …

If only you know
how my heart overflows with love for you
If only you could see
the way you fill my hopes and dreams
you are the owner of my heart
the ruler supereme

Even in the dark of night
I’ve only to think about you
to feel your loving light
and from this world I drift feeling
as if
I’ll never touch the ground again
If only you know

If only you could guess
how i hear your voice when others speak
for you hold the key to my happiness
and it’s always you – my soul seeks

If only you could feel
how your very presence
has the power to heel
all the wounds inside me
You have made me abandon -
the pain of yesterday
and you have shown me -
that the past can no longer
stand in the way -
of what – I hope to achieve
If only you know

If only you could realize
the way you have shown me
that it’s better to give
than to take
and whatever I do
I do for your sake
I’m willing to give you my all
and expect nothing in return
But Ohh how I yearn
for you …
IF ONLY YOU KNOW

 

Ever YOU belong to me

As clouds keep concealed in their coffers
treasures of glorious lightening
So, in the darkest domain of my distress
Lurks a bright hope : ” YOU ARE MINE”

 

As the sea keeps hidden in its bossom
Pearls of undying beauty
In my innerself dazzles an edict:
” EVER YOU BELONG TO ME “

 

As the forest keeps secure in its thickness
sweet-smelling blossoms of spring
In my life’s thick wood forever
has blossomed your name, sweet and bright.

 

As the south wind, laden with moisture
soothes the body in summer eves
You soothe my psyche
passing gently the vale of my memory.

 

As the shower keeps hidden in its glowing drops
The magic power of sprouting
In every thought of your love is heard
Eternally the sweet strain of bards

 

As the river keeps hidden im its flow
entreaties for union with the sea
In my staggering journey, the refrain is heard
” ALL IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT THEE “
