Will You Still Love Me

On days when I don’t go the parlor

Because I had been balancing your budget,

And my hair is not so soft, nor is my skin

Will you love me the way you always did?

When my hands are a bit scrubby

Since I do the dishes after our meals.

When I get sunburns while buying grocery

Will you love me the way you always did?

When my eyes are no longer so seducing

Since they haven’t slept due to your mom’s health

And some days I am not able to cook you a meal

Will you love me the way you always did?

When my body is no longer toned & I am flabby

since I brought in this world our greatest joy

& on days when you seem more fit & fine

Will you love me the way you always did?

When I become busy in bringing up our kids

& at times I can’t be with you much time

When I miss your parties due to kid’s exam

Will you love me the way you always did?

When at last the crumbles of my dress

begin to show up on my cheeks & lips

When I become short because I stoop

Will you love me the way you always did?

When I find it hard to hear what you say

& I can’t give you a tight hug when you’re down

Will still my love suffice for all your needs?

& will you still love me the way you always did?

The Mask

Sometimes in life we experience real happiness

When we think more bout others & for us less.

To think about others gay is not an easy task

Though you be sad: you’ve to wear a smiling mask.

Something deep within the heart pinches to us

& we are compelled to feel that life is a curse.

But that pain forever does not in heart seal

Be sure that one fine day it is going to heal.

Then the dark clouds from mind get shattered

& we find quite a few things by us scattered.

If you have worn your mask and tried best

To hide your tears then fine will be rest.

The scattered things will be appreciation of all

& showers of praises& love on you will fall.

But if your face has been the image of your mind

Negligence & solitude is what you will find.

So if you want happiness after a sadistic state

Be a diplomat; although false, you’ll find some mate.

Shelter my Soul

Shelter my soul into your heart

Coz in my body, it’s tearing me apart.

I’ve kept it with me for years

But now for you, it’s all in tears.

I could never give it, what you could.

Love into my soul - you have put.

And it’s chasing you – where do you go?

I’m all lifeless here, how do I show?

I have never ever felt so empty before

Coz you’re not only my love, but my life for sure.

I know you aren’t in peace out there too:

Since my longing for you wont allow you to.

So don’t keep us both into this pain

Let the dark clouds on you drench me in their rain.

Not only would you relieve your load

But also soothe the agony that I’ve endured.

So pour your love on me & I’ll show

The Heavens behold for us a rainbow!

Longing for my Shore

I have traveled distance from all I love

I am shoved in a place I least deserve.

Not that life had for me no options in store,

But new horizons I wanted to explore, leaving behind my shore.

Now each day comes in with a new learning for me

New people & experiences around, I take gleefully.

The day just passes in getting all that I wanted,

& the night dawns upon with my cravings unheeded.

Craving for a meal cooked with love & served,

The touch & care of someone I have loved.

Looking at the stars, I remember the days

When I had the friendly stars with me always.

Today the clouds of distance have hid from my eye

The twinkle in her eyes which for me does lie.

But I know the darkness wouldn’t last for long.

The morning bird will soon sing a welcome song.

When life will be bright & would open to me a door

To a place where I can live with all I love-back on my shore.

The Wonderous Night

The earthly star is going to drown
Making the world dark & brown
In the ocean deep will it go
To make a day again tomorrow.

The silver flower will appear in garden
Of the universe in the heaven .
It will send off all it carries
With the loving & affectionate fairies.

It’ll grow brighter & brighter as the night darkens
& will peep through my window from the heavens
I’ll give all thine to it, I swear
because the companions like it are rare.

I’ll talk to him all about whom I care
The one whom I do see in my nightmare
Until the morning star is set to arrive
& I will from the moon get deprive.

But I know, its always with me
Let it be night or day it be
I’m not alone in the world as such
Because I carry with me its touch.

Wealth-earthly & heavenly

Two men I’d seen as converse as they could be
One craved for materialism & other for wealth-heavenly.

The first would search for ways he could earn,
The latter passed his life in love and to learn.

Bit kind was first, as to help, donated his wealth,
The other well-hearted did strive with his health.

Many gave the merchant jewels of praise,
The other was made to spend days in haze.

The merchant was cunning, nor devotee, nor brave,
The poor was prepared to face his deity in grave.

One regarded his family as his world,
For the other; world was family, I had heard.

The first was left in his grave alone to moan,
For the other, blessings & love of God were thrown.

The earlier was remembered in world for his greeds,
The other was praised by people for his deeds.

The first one along with his death had died,
The latter, in people’s heart, after death has lied.

Unwiped Tears

Happy & sad days don’t forever stay
The tide of time wipes each of them away
Before he came-it was so plain
He came in life as season’s first rain
Soothing & calming, his effect was so intense
He spread everywhere in life love’s fragrance.
Then came the spring of togetherness
& everything else than we did dispense
I started to feel that we both are in love
He keeps my place separate from all & above
In his heart I had made a place of mine
This was my perception of dreams so fine
But then came the autumn & carried along
The moisture of our love along with a storm
I could not find what broke our trust
Although we were close; miles were between us.
I tried to hold it much more tight
To make all fine & set wrong right.
But then I realized that he was smoke
He escaped away & my heart broke
He didn’t care to know what would be I
And left me alone in this agony to die
Those happy days spent & I didn’t realize
To know whether love on his part lies
Maybe it was I misinterpreted his behavior
But at least my opinion about him he did hear
Then why didn’t he tell me this ever before
That he is the wave who wouldn’t stay on my shore.
A tide was not needed this time my joys to wipe
My tears washed it all & remained unwiped..

Missing You

Those are the bitterest moments
That you love without you spends.
Your physical absence makes me mad
Without you all my joys are sad
I carry with me but you always
You’re spread in my life like sunrays
How I miss you, I can’t explain
Away from you life is a pain.
It is like the darkest cloud in the sky
Full of rains but then too dry.
The mountain of my patience so high & strong
Goes weak in your absence & all is wrong.
All the flowers in blossom fade
Scorching heat lies in coolest shade.
To be without you is more painful
Than having of some venom cupful
I would not want to be with me
As much as I want with you to be.
The stars in the sky will always stay
Be it night or be it day
Similarly I carry you presence with me
‘coz physically you are absent, not mentally.
No eyes do see you in the morning light
It’s me who’ll have you day & night
‘Coz to see & feel something that is hidden
Is not everyone’s forte, else than love bitten

God, Me & He

I was walking on the road of life
Holding hands with my God.
When I met a fellow who said
In your love I am engrossed.

I, too, fell in love with him
At his first sight on me
Life’s most beautiful journey began
With God, me & he.

But then one halt came in life
When he began to think
Can we three walk together?
Won’t it our love ship sink?

Since he believes that God of mine
Is different from his Lord
Coz both have different names
How can both we afford?

So if I want to be with him
I have to choose among
My love & my Lord
Oh! What’s right what’s wrong?

I can’t now live without my love
& how do I leave my God
Both of them make up my soul
For which one do I nod?

Only if he could understand
That God is never twain
The only realization required is
Our prayers are the main.

How do then I leave my faith
Who on every step of life
Has been my support & strength
How do I quit Him & be his wife?

I found my Lord saying, one day, to me
When so confused, I closed my eyes
That even if you hold his hand
Your Lord with you always lies!
