SOMETIMES!!


Sometimes!!

A poem depicting the grim side of the work-life imbalance

Sometimes I don’t have time for you,
When other important issues encircle my head,
Dilemma my mind faces in such situations,
Sad my heart feels, but it all goes unsaid,

Sometimes I am not there to help you out,
To bring a smile on your face, to wipe your tear,
Helpless I feel, yet I selfishly expect you to understand,
Unconditionally, and every single time you adhere,

It’s been ages since we have gone on a vacation,
Long time since we have carved memories together,
I am fortunate we haven’t distanced away,
Lucky we don’t fight despite not spending time together,

You are the most matured partner I could have asked for,
Who understands my every emotion, every action,
To whom I never need to explain even once,
Who stands by me, like a shadow, in my frustration,

Sometimes I feel I am letting you down,
By not giving our bond the sacrosanct position,
Yet your reassuring gesture asking me to not feel guilty,
It helps me give my work due attention,

Always I feel, our world should be magical,
Romantic, mesmerizing; like the one we sought,
Where my mind is at peace and only you matter,
Alas! Realities are complicated; Utopia, life is certainly not.............

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a

LOVE:: A JOURNEY!!

[care for your loved ones, for u may not be with them the next moment] Love:: a journey!! What is love, a waste of time, Thought so, when i was nine. Stupid romantic movies i saw, that had many a flaw. But then, aged twelve i saw, a beautiful maiden, so elegant and tall, so beautiful, so much like a doll. That made me wonder, it made me ponder, Am i in love? I was eighteen ,and when dad would speak, all i felt, was to shout and shriek, for, a stern military voice he had i thought, being in love, is it so bad? Running, i went to my mother , but she didn't even bother. no one cared, no one listened, Drenched in pain, Tried to convince them what love is, But in vain, yet again... Years had passed, i had turned twenty five, last month, and about to take a vow, the same girl that she had been, since, at the age of twelve, i had seen, was now my bride-to-be.. Sometimes in life, u burn, but destiny always takes a nice turn, that makes life so full of fun. smitten by her, now about to mar
