Straight from my heart...

From my heart…to my soul!! I have never loved anyone, As seriously as you, My love for you, It’s intense and true, You are the reason for my existence, As I miss you every fleeting instance, Your absence makes me lonely, Even when I am with my friends or family, Each time we part, I long to meet you again, To spend another moment with you again, An unending desire burning in my heart, I like the way you smile, From you eyes depicting innocence, Spreading joy and happiness, That lasts for a long while, I can’t concentrate, On things I ought to, And to shorten the long wait, Interim I keep dreaming of being with you, I may never propose to you, Due to the fear of losing the friend in you, But living the whole life without you, That would be a bit too painful, In the past one year, You have become one of my sweetest friends, A person so dear and near, Who I’ll always love till my life ends……………

Independence!! It’s been more than sixty years, Since we began our journey, When the whole world had slept, And we had made a tryst with destiny, It was a new day for us, A feeling of self-accomplishment, A sense of utmost contentment, As hands clasped together, we prayed for a better India, It’s been more than sixty years, But the fears still exist, The pain does persist, As hands clasped together, we still pray for a better India, Is hoisting the tricolour enough, Is chanting the national anthem enough, Where is the pride, the enthusiasm, The feeling of unity and patriotism, We are known for our tolerant culture, But are we for our skeptical nature, We fear or hate our own brothers, Just because of a difference in caste or religion, We talk about eradicating, Poverty and corruption, Yet we repeatedly keep exploiting, The masses forming the bulk of the population, We prefer to watch the reality shows, Than face the distressing reality, We care more for our cricketers, Than our war her...

Nightmares!! I get recurrent nightmares, I don’t get dreams, About me, no one cares, That is how it all seems, Sometimes I am all alone, In a dark, dingy passage, About to be pounced upon, By hundred lions just out of cage, Or I am sitting at the beach, Admiring the waves, the calm sea, Suddenly there comes a huge one; I screech, And there’s no one to save me, Sometimes I am admiring the mountains and the cliff, With some dear friends of mine, We have a minor tiff, And they push me down; into the sands of time, Or I am driving peacefully, And the road below vanishes, I go down some tunnel or valley, And burnt to ashes, I wake up perspiring, I feel blank; unable to think what to do, This feeling is nauseating, As I keep wondering, what if they come true………

In pain!! I am in pain, I want to be alone for some time, So do not pester me, Even if you see my whine, I want to go away, From the colleagues I abhor, I want to do as I feel, Away from this insipid door, I fail to understand, The point of living here, Where I am not free, And under constant scrutiny of my peer, I need no mentor, I need no guide, The world is a place so squalid, I am discovering its mean side, I am in pain, I would prefer being a nomad, Where I am my own master, Away from the world so mad, I worked incessantly, But I gained nothing, My life’s a bitter gourd, Worthless and nauseating, I am in pain; I want to flee, Away from all the people I call my own, To Utopia; where everything’s fair, Where I can peacefully smile; though alone………

Silent love!! I knew a girl, I loved that girl, Immensely, undoubtedly, But I just couldn’t tell, My feelings remained, Till the very end, In my heart, My love so silent, She was a good friend, I felt that this couldn’t be the end, I wanted something more, But my love remained silent, I had dreamt a lot, She was the one I sought, The only one I loved, But I never said, But now she’s gone, And I am all alone, Ruing my lost chance, Living in utter grief, Wish I could turn back the time, And ask her out just one time, It would be fun on the first date, Alas, I am a moment too late! My feelings don’t matter, She’s with a guy another, My love remained silent, And that is how it all ended Life keeps on moving, Even I’ll try living, Loving her silently forever, Praying for her happiness forever……

I never thought!! I never thought, We would be together someday, Spending such a blissful day, I never thought, Our closeness would be celebrated, And for this day, so long I had waited, I never thought, Our togetherness would be accompanied, By such opulent people of various profession and creed, The journey’s been amazing, It feels so exciting, Yeah, it’s true, we are marrying, I never thought, Life could be so much fun, And destiny could take such a nice turn, I never thought, About our honeymoon, But yeah, it’s real; it’s going to happen soon, I never thought, But what I had always sought, I have finally got, Forever I would recollect this day, For all the blessings I thank thee, Full of happiness, let my future always be………

A FRIEND!! The word “friend” is short, But it does signify a lot, It makes us remember, Weird moments spent together, Eating and watching movies, Chatting nonsense, having fun, Or conversations full of, Sarcasm, zeal and pun. We keep creating rumours, As the time flies, But also bailing out someone, On the verge of cries, Of course there are, Baseless arguments and countless fights, Butwe forget it in, A couple of nights, Life is extremely short, So in peace we must live, A friend is undoubtedly special, So only joy we must give, Coz there might come a doomsday, When there's no one to help us, No one to protect us, In the chilly winters or the scorching sun of May, And that’s when ourselves, We’ll curse without an end, For letting go of a magical person, Known by the name “friend”..... I need you all!! .. and I hope this feeling is mutual…happy friendship day to u!!
