TIED DOWN AT HOME!!


Tied down at home!!

This poem describes the life of a person who is fed up of being tied down at home, due to various reasons such as his health, sometimes the natural calamities and sometimes due to even the terror attacks and man-made calamities…..


Tied down at home,
Due to severe cough,
Here I am,
Cursing the cold weather so rough,
Here I am,
Wishing my body was a bit tough.
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

Tied down at home,
Due to non-availability of trains,
Here I am,
Cursing the weather, cursing the rains,
Tied down at home,
Here I am,
Feeling the mental pain,
Hoping my fate would change,
But in vain, yet again
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

Tied down at home,
Due to fright, due to fear,
Fear of being killed,
Fear of being slaughtered,
Fear of being shot at,
Fear of being burnt alive.
Here I am,
Hoping for world peace,
Here I am,
Wishing this ongoing tension would cease
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

I wish the weather would change,
I wish my health would improve soon.
I wish the world would change,
I wish the society would improve soon.
But what you wish is not what you get,
What you get is a life,
Equivalent to a thousand deaths
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

Happiness has always eluded me in the past,
And I am turning into a pessimist fast,
After every dark cloud,
There’s always a silver lining,
But when will this dark cloud blow,
I seriously do not know
I am continuously whining,
As my mental pain continues to grow
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please……

TO YOU, MY MOTHER!!

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!!

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 ...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...
