Straight from my heart...

Spurned!! I had a smile all these years, But one day it turned, Into inconsolable tears, As my love you outright spurned,   I sometimes wish we hadn’t met, I wouldn’t have dreamt of you then, That would have been so great, I wouldn’t have fallen in love then, But then how could have I known, What an amazing person you are, I remember our talks on the phone, I never thought you were somewhere far, Some say I should be angry, Coz my love you outright spurned, For the pain you gave me, My back to you, I should have turned, To them I wish to say, I don’t want free advice, I am not going to give up her friendship anyway, So don’t you dare entice, Love may get spurned, Life’s isn’t complete without rejection, But we shouldn’t lie burned, In the volcano of depression, Instead we should take it positively, As a learning curve, and move on, It’ll take time, it’ll happen slowly, Someday the pain will be gone, Now I can proudly say, one year la...

Bowled over!! please note: Unlike my other poems, the poem has a "female" narrator!! All alone, in a corner I was sitting, I wanted to swirl and dance, I was waiting for a prince charming, Who would endow me with that chance, Just then, a handsome guy, Started walking towards me, Smiling, he asked as he stood by, Would you like to dance with me? I blushed, I nodded, I stood up, and took his hand gently, He’s so cute, I mentally said, The night will be perfect truly, I put my hand on his shoulder, He put his on my hips, My inept dancing was a boulder, But he guided, with his virtuosic tips, The music was romantic and soothing, Just being with him seemed special, He was impeccable in his dancing, And the night turned into something unbelievable, In his arms, I found comfort, As I kept staring as his innocent eyes, He even lifted me above the ground, That moment, I saw paradise, I had never felt so ecstatic before, That was evident from my fac...

From your loving son!! You didn’t just give me birth, You have always strived to make my life worth, Your love was unconditional, unabated. Yet I never quite reciprocated, My daily puerile tantrums, Vexed you several times, Yet you never issued any moratoriums or ultimatums, And understood me perfectly, all such times,   Whatever I asked was promptly granted, Like a prince I was always treated, Yet you made sure I wasn’t prodigal, And never did anything unethical, You gave me wings to fly, Faster and higher than any bird, You loving son would never let you cry, To you, this is my so far unspoken word, However trivial your need may be, It will be promptly attended by me, I’ll rush for you, anytime, anywhere, Coz it’s you about whom I truly care………..

The pang of separation!! The pang of separation, Is leading me to the brink, Of self-annihilation, As like the titanic I sink, You gave me eyes to dream and win, You gave me wings to fly, Then to see you vanish in air thin, It hurts, I want to cry, My heart said I had you, And next moment, you were gone, Life’s a roller coaster, it’s true, Upon me now it did dawn, You were perfect for me, I loved you unabated, So it hurts to see, Everything went unrequited, I don’t want to get over you, I don’t want this heartbreak, I just want to be with you, In a serene place, hopefully, by the lake, My heart will always beat for you, Coz you are my real wealth, And I’ll be waiting for you, Till the earth ends; till my last breath……….

The seeds of joy!! I look outside the window, I am appalled by what I see, As nature begins to sow, The seeds of fear in me,   I see clouds in the sky, Dark, ominous and mocking, I hate them, I want to cry, Of the imminent woes, they keep reminding, I hate the gloomy weather, Soon it even begins to rain, Some want it to last forever, Not I, it adds to my existing pain, I see people relaxed and sauntering by, Umbrellas over their heads, Yet I wonder why, My misery still pervades, Down the road, I see, Some kids playing in the rain, They seem so happy to me, I wonder, is there a way to let go of this pain,   I look at an innocent boy, Even I was just like him, Why did I kill the seeds of joy, And my future kept getting dim, I now realize, I shouldn’t be wilting like weeds, Life is a gift worth accepting, It’s all about sowing the seeds, Of joy, and their perpetual nurturing………..
