Straight from my heart...

Wish you were here!! I am walking in the rain, Drenched and all alone, I wish you were here, Giving me company, It would have made the journey, So much exciting, So much memorable, And true joy I would have known, A gentle breeze is blowing, The trees are swaying, But the rain, the weather seems so boring, In your absence, I wish you were here, As amidst the beauty, For your presence, I am craving really, I love to see you near, We have so much fun together, But today I am so bored, I wish you were here, Coz then my joy would have been, Two fold, ten fold, hundred fold, Like some Utopian dream, Lasting forever,   Suddenly you flash in front of my eyes, I see you smiling, Standing beside me, you are enjoying, But soon it was time to realize, In the rain, I am walking, Drenched and all alone, I wish you were here, As for you I crave, I moan……………

Get well soon!! I can’t see you so low and sick, I can’t imagine you so mellow and meek, I just can’t see you crying, I just want to hear you blabbering, There’s nothing to worry, Nothing’s happened to you really, Believe me,I am not lyin’, In few days you’ll be fine, Let your mind drift to, All the lectures we bunked together, To watch countless movies of horror, And every time, I tried to scare you, Do you remember the evening we spent, Eating the cookies you made, And I just kept telling, I was glad I didn’t suffer from food poisoning, Do you remember our group dance erstwhile, When you had tripped and cried, As for four hours I tried, Before finally you did smile, You have been through days rough, But you have effortlessly hung on, Coz you are mentally tough, And you know this phase will soon be gone, So just close your eyes, Let your mind drift, To all the days nice, And this dark cloud cover will sure lift, You still have to fulfil many dre...

I can live without you!! Sweetheart, I can live without you, But I want to forever keep on living with you, I can go on dreaming about you, But I want to create dreams with you, I want to be by your side, And visit places far and wide, Be it the exotic beaches, Be it the snow-capped mountain ranges, I want to spend, My life with you till the end, And ours will be a love story, That will be imprinted in the sands of time truly, I want to celebrate our fiftieth anniversary, At  the same venue where we had first met, We’ll then relive our first date, And our first kiss; it would be wonderful undoubtedly, Dreams are unending, My love is all-encompassing, We are made for each other, And we’ll make it a journey to remember, Sometimes I get this weird nightmare, You fight and say that about you I don’t care, And you go away, without a trace, As everywhere, I keep searching for your pretty face, So remember,small fight...

Never think of committing suicide!! Let the whole world, Form unhealthy opinions about you, But always remember, I love you, And you have a right to be a free bird, The world may call you a failure, But you are the best, remember, And one day they’ll realize their mistake, So never put your life at stake, To me, you are a precious pearl, So today you must promise me, That you’ll be with me, Forever and always, my little girl, Life will incessantly test you, You have to ignore and just be you, Life will give you sorrows, But remember, it’ll also show beautiful rainbows, I am always going to be there, Silently supporting you, by your side, Anytime, anywhere, So never think of committing suicide, Life is a gift worth taking, So never throw it away, Coz your dreams will come true someday, You just have to keep believing, A wise man had once said, Life is just a garden or a bed, Of beautiful roses, but with many a thorn, So never think about the things lo...

 Life is strange!! Life is strange, It compels us to display, Emotions of a wide range, Just like a movie or a play, It shows us colourful rainbows, And the delightful rain, Yet we even experience sorrows, We even experience pain, There are days when, For hours we have to strive, And we hate even being alive, As life drives us insane, Life is strange, It gives us hope, It gives us many a wing, Yet, it betrays us; it cuts the rope, And it challenges our surviving, Sometimes we wake up all refreshed, On other mornings, we  feel  so dead, We wish our joy was incessant, And our pain non-existent, We wish our life was different, We feel we have nothing, But let’s look at the people bruised and burnt, We’ll realize we have everything, Life is an exciting adventure, A strange and mystical maze, So let us live it with passion and craze, And let us make it a blissful venture..............

The first time we….!!   We were sitting by the fire, With our hearts burning with desire, It was a chilly, wintry night, And I had sensed, the time was right, Let us come closer, I motioned to her, Let’s make it a night to remember, I said to her, We sat silently, Each sipping a glass of wine, I held her gently, And pulled her body towards mine, A melodious, soothing song, Was playing in the background, The wind was gently blowing around, As I wished the night to last long, We were nervous immense, We were surely tense, But that vanished, all of a sudden, And that’s when things began to happen, I kissed her gently, First on her forehead, And then I moved ahead, Towards her lips slowly, We kept kissing passionately, As we undressed simultaneously, The love-making was fierce in parts, And we thoroughly felt the passion in our hearts, Eleven minutes later, We were all but spent, And we lay, huddled together, Reliving every moment, The night ...

Those gorgeous eyes!! Those gorgeous eyes say a lot, This I’ve noticed ever since, An opportunity I got, To meet you, the girl of my dreams, Those eyes are round and hazel, And intricately beautiful without a doubt, With them, in love, I fell, Since the first day we went out, Those eyes gleam if ever you got, A thing you have always sought, The joy shows in your eyes, And that’s one reason for your perfect smile, Whenever you are afraid, angry or mad, Those eyes start to blink or blankly stare, But when someone’s sad, Those eyes tell that you care, Your eyes have the power, To transfix or hypnotize any creature, Those are the prettiest I’ve ever seen, And I am glad, they come daily in my dream,   Those eyes make you seem so innocent, As you never have to face the brunt, Of any of your mistakes and your fault, That makes me jealous of you, a lot, You would win many a beauty contest, As those eyes would tear y...

An apology!! If you feel I ignored you, I truly apologize, If you feel I betrayed you, I truly apologize, But believe me, towards you there’s no malice, I am not one of those guys, Who’ll play with the emotions of a friend, I am one of those who’ll stand by you, Silently caring for you, Till the very end, The whole thing that took place, It was one huge misunderstanding, In your eyes,I became a cruel being, I din’t want to end the smile on your face, Please believe me, I am pleading, About you I truly care, And I feel that, my sweet friend, Such matters shouldn’t end, The deep, everlasting bond that we share, They should strengthen it, instead, I know you are angry now, I know you hate me now, But few days into the future, You’ll understand me somehow, And you will hopefully forgive me later, This is a sincere apology, So please stop blaming me, And remember, for thee, I am always going to be there, Anytime, anywhere………

The Mumbai local train!! I am travelling, In the Mumbai local train, I see some smiling, I see some in pain, I see some, Listening to many a song, I see some, Standing at the door, doing acts wrong, I see a few texting, Or talking on the phone or with others, That too in hushed whispers, Those are the ones I see smiling, I see a few, Engrossed in their newspaper, Some look out too, Staring blankly or admiring nature, At times, I have seen vendors, Trying to earn their daily bread, I have also seen filthy beggars, Pestering, as "get lost" to them, people have said, I have seen men cursing, Or women quarreling, I have seen children crying, And even lovers canoodling, A train journey, Is sadly considered boring, But that’s never felt by me, As I feel, it’s truly exciting, I have many memories, As often I feel nostalgic, And I try to recollect those experiences, Although a few even make me sick, No...

I had the best time with them, Yet a fateful day came, When I just let them drift apart, And I didn’t feel any pain, In my callous heart, As all the memories were washed, Our friendship was squashed, In one gush of rain, Life without them, Felt just the same, I didn’t miss the times we spent, Each time we met, Playing cricket at my place, Hurtling swears at each other ’s face, I didn’t miss my friends, As I just didn’t care about making amends, I let my friends go, All because of my gargantuan ego, I didn’t run after them, I didn’t try to stop them, I had the best time with them, Yet all I did was hurt them, Now they are gone forever, And now I regret,I won’t see them ever, I see youngsters eating, laughing, enjoying, They feel so happy together, I watch them and feel so sad, I wonder,  how could I be so bad, I forgot the eternal saying, Friends are for ever, Alas, now it’s too late, it’s all over, My friend...

Life's amazing in dreams!! Life’s amazing in dreams, Or in books and in films, Yet in reality, daily we burn, As we wait for our destiny to take a nice turn, We want our love story, To be eternal, the best in the world, With an ending happy, And we want our joy to be unparalleled, We want to achieve, The best position, We want to receive, Daily accolades and satisfaction, We want to break free, From the redundant system, We want to be free, Towards our goal, in constant motion, We want to dive, In the blue, serene ocean, We want to thrive, In the field of our passion, We want to be the bird, That to faraway places flies, We want to rule the world, And live life king-size, Yet, in reality, daily we burn, As we wait for our destiny to take a nice turn, Yeah, life’s amazing only in dreams, That is how, to me, it all seems…………

Sleepless!! Something’s killing me, I just can’t sleep at night, Something’s haunting me, It just isn’t right, Sometimes if I am lucky, I get an hour’s sleep, But then I get up all sweaty,  I palpitate, I begin to weep, I am sinking deep, Into a black hole, I badly need some sleep, This is torturing my soul, I am getting paranoid, As I feel some non-existent void, The insomnia is ruining me, I want to break free, My life is a mess, And to ease this distress, I pop many a sleeping pill, But this just doesn’t heal, Some said stress is a factor, And so I tried, Many a stress-buster, But still helpless, for hours I cried, I feel like a zombie, Wandering here and there, I try to sleep, but in vain, As I fail miserably, yet again………

Grow up!! Note:: This is not a poem, but a song!! Each day I am said, I am too immature, So grow up, Life ain’t that easy, It’ll test incessantly in the future, Each day I am said, I act like a buffoon, I live in a cuccoon, So grow up, Or life would eat me up, Each day I am said, I am too ignorant, So grow up, It’s time to look beyond, The shield that hides me from the world, Each day I am said, I act like a fool, Life isn’t as protected as the school, So grow up, And be prepared for the perils ahead, Earlier it was just my mother, To taunt me, Now it’s my friends’ turn, To haunt me, It makes me feel like a loser, I am too tired, Of being called immature, I am fully bored, Of constantly being warned, About the dangerous future, Why do people think, That I am not mature, Why do they wrongly imagine, That I am not in sync, With the world, Why do they say, I won’t be able to, Face the perils, Of the future, That daily taunt su...
