Sweet Memories of Childhood

Sweet memories of childhood seed in a bud,
Still remind me of my castle of mud.
I fly in my past’s long drive to gather,
The scattered moments of joy together.
The past journey, where I could see love till eternity,
& love among fellow beings depicted fraternity.
Where no cruelty did lie in ones passion,
Where in love there was no adulteration.
The true love and affection of my childhood life,
Intensifies the bitterness of my youth’s sweet knife.
Those golden days were just spent in a blink,
About which I write with tears as the ink.
None care about the feelings of a grown up child,
& take their sensitivity in a manner very mild.
People think they’re capable of standing on their own,
Coz they believe a very fine seed they have sown.
But forget that their seed needs support of family,
To grow from a seed- to a plant- to a tree.

This evening at 6

A mother somewhere was robbed of her child
A child somewhere wondered where his bird flied
A bird completed her nest with the last stroke of grass
The grass somewhere felt the cold feet of an elderly lady
A grandmother was shoved by her kids in an asylum
Someone just went mad in the love of a beauty
A beauty just broke the friendship of someone
Somebody made friends with one who was lonely
While someone sitting alone on a beach gazed at the sunset.
A sunset, which at the same time mesmerized two lovers
The love of someone deserted the life of other
The thirst unquenched of someone in a deserted land
Somebody shook hands with death coz hope shook off him
Somebody lighted a ray of hope where hands join to pray
Someone joined hands on a stand for humanity
Somewhere humanity suffered on the hands of terror
Someone made peace after a long season of hatred
Somewhere the season gave a pleasant change
And some change brought a pleasant season
Some of the many things that happened
This evening at six

If It Had Life

I wish that god had given everything a heart,
That would be with me on my life’s path.
If all things could hear and speak to me,
To share I wouldn’t have needed a family.
Imagine that the stars could make conversation,
There would be a charm in the nights passion.
If there were drops of emotion in the rainfall,
My thirst would have been quenched of body and soul.
If in the deepness of sea, love had lied,
It would take away my tears with its tide.
If along with cool breeze was affection of wind,
& peace of mothers lap would lie in tree of tamarind.
I wouldn’t have need a friend or a relative,
Since the creator would have created his creation so creative.

Star Of My Life

From all the near and dear one
I choose you as my life’s real fun.
You are the most indispensable part of me
Without you life would be dead surely.
The thought to stay without you drives me crazy
Your absence makes sky of my life hazy.
It is not that I have in my life very few
But I don’t have anyone as precious as you.
The stars in the sky don’t make the night
The night is in existence coz of the moons might.
But there is a night when the moon disappears
& the charm of the stars do reduce my fears.
Everybody in this world comprise of the moon so far
Not in the moon you are, but my life’s star.
Coz I know that even when the moon will betray
The star in the sky of my life will always stay.

Clay Talk

I was a soft piece of clay
Waiting to be shaped today.
I wanted my Potter to make me
Into a masterpiece of pottery
Then you came to my alarm,
thrusting in my tender heart your palm
You played with me till your hearts content
& I thought I’ll be with you till my end
But that wasn’t the case; you went your way
washed your hands & wiped all my traces away.
& I was left with your impression on me,
when others asked me that tough I have to be
I became hard so that no one else could trick
& with the heat of the pain, I turned to a brick.
You wiped me from life, but how do I get away
Since your imprint on me will forever stay

Unending search

When I was apart from you far a few days
My longing embraced along with it a gaze.
I gaped at any door & believed that you’ll enter
& in your soothing arms you’ll give my agony a shelter
My eyes kept looking for you at all the places
I kept looking for your face in all other faces.
Unaware of why my search was so foolish
I still kept searching to console my anguish.
& then came the day when I returned back
The joy in my heart suffered space’s lack
Now you would be imagined & it wouldn’t be
only imagination but could also be reality.
I wanted to cup your face in my palms
Throw away all the tears in your arms
Would you make a drink of your love & give it to me
Coz without it I have been so dead & thirsty.
I don’t know when I see you, if tears flow
Or with euphoria a smiling face would glow.
All things set I fixed my eyes on the door
Through which, about you coming, I was sure.
And now you tell me that you have shifted
Time & vexation has me from you drifted.
And all my feelings are now lying like a mail
Outside a closed door, like an untold tale.
How much I now hope that it wasn’t true
But still my eyes keep searching for you.

Forlorned

They say that when all's wrong
the ones who stand by make you strong.
Pain & suffering do come everyday
But those you love-ease your stony way.
On a sunny day you feel so fresh under a cloud;
but when the cloud douses you with a thunder sound-
where are you going to shelter seek
when every roof you go under does leek?
the ones under whom you get solace
have placed you in solitude's embrace!
You can live abandoned by the world,
when you know that your woes will be heard.
But when those ears dishonor your speech-
you feel like a maimed bird forlorned on a beach.

Love with a broken heart

If one day you cross my way
& ask that if I love even today?
Your mind will think I won’t
But my heart doesn’t say I don’t.
You chose to stay away from me
But separate from you I couldn’t be.
Consoling friends & a betraying lover
That’s what was left in life forever.
You went away & never did care
If I am dead or still I am there.
But my love wasn’t so weak dear
Farther you went, I held you more near.
When you were with me I did say
I love you more than any one may.
But I didn’t know that I don’t love
Only that much but quite above.
I realized that when you went far
& pain my heart suffered at no par.
It was then that I took it as God’s will
& knew the reason behind an act ill.
Perhaps my love wasn’t ample for your heart
Much more love was deserved on your part.
So God took away my heart from my body
& gave me broken pieces of part of me.
So now I love you no more with my heart
But you are being loved with every broken part.

Never knew-would feel this way

I never knew that I would feel this way,
When once again in my life crosses your way.
It is said out of sight is out of mind-
Maybe, hence, I couldn’t my love’s depth find.
How I have been swayed away, how do I show?
What am I feeling, can anyone else than me know?
I had dried up my heat when I knew
You have gone so far that I can’t reach you.
& I convinced myself so hard about it
so that I don’t die everyday a little bit.
I cajoled myself so well in this affair
that for your extant I really didn’t care.
& now suddenly that you stand here;
I’m accosted to a queer fain & a fear.
Never did I know that I still love you so
Now I sit & conjecture how did I let you go?

I'll wait till eternity

When I felt lonely in crowds
I have held your hand.
When I have cried silent tears
I had your hand wipe it away
When I have been jubiliant
I have celebrated with you.
When I had a deep secret
I have shared it with you.
When I have been nervous
I had you standing by me.
When I have felt blue
You've lifted my spirits.
When I have fallen sick
You took care of me.
And I too want to do
All you've done for me & more
So please tell me
Where will I find you?
If you need a reason,
Will this reason be enough?
That people fall in love
with the ones they know
But I have loved someone
-Not even knowing if he exists.
But still I have loved you
with the hope that my faith & love
will get you to me
Even if you are'nt there.
God will create the you in someone
and send across to me.
Dont come to me if you feel
That someone can love you
after knowing you, more than I do
despite being unaware of your whereabouts.
But if you dont come, dont think
that I shall know someone else & love.
I shall keep loving you & wait
till the time it pulls you to me.
