Straight from my heart...

The last goodbye!! I am waiting for your phone call, That in the past fifteen days, never came, And it makes me wonder how could we fall, Into such a trench; it’s such a shame, In my mind, I see you drifting apart, Every moment, you are moving away, Faster than light, as my heart, Is shattered, into a million pieces everyday, I wonder is there a way, I could somehow stop you, And hold you in my arms today, And don’t leave me alone, I could tell you, But then I realize, it’s the last goodbye, You have disappeared into thin air, Never to return, as I let out a sigh, And wonder, why is life so unfair, I feared this moment all along, I knew you would ditch me, and give me immense pain, I hoped my intuition would be wrong, It unfortunately proved right, yet again, Somewhere in the innermost crevice of my heart, I wish you’d call or turn up and say, Baby, It’s not the last goodbye; we don’t have to part, We’d be together, forever, truly, I keep dreaming; I wish I could meet you, J...

What is friendship?? What is friendship, I certainly know not, Yet there was an ideal friend, I had always sought, I dreamt of a friend, Who’ll always be there for me, When there’s no one else, And who’ll mean the world to me, I sought a nice person, With whom I can easily share, Anything and everything, And about me, who’ll truly care, I searched for that ideal friend, For my entire lifetime, When at last, I found you, Since then, I have been sad, not a single time, My joys and sorrows became yours, Yours, too, became mine, You held my hand through thick and thin, Your strong, reassuring presence, divine, Trust is the key in any relation, With you, it was never missing, I do know you will die for me, And for you, I will do anything, What is friendship, I certainly know not, But I am the luckiest person. For, a friend like you I have got……………

Left at the altar!!    The poem has a female narrator… This was supposed to be, The best day of my life, I was going to be, Someone’s life partner; a wife, Since years I had envisaged this, The marriage vows, the hallowed kiss, My dream was about to be fulfilled, I felt elated, overjoyed, thrilled, The music was being played, Merry, in the background, Friends and family had assembled, About a hundred did hound, I had got into my bridal dress, About to walk the path divine, When i heard news that brought me distress, My groom had ran off with a maid of mine, I had seen it in movies, I didn’t know it could happen for real, Down the drain went all my future memories, I realized, happiness is an illusion; only pain is real, How could I be so unlucky, What wrong had I done to deserve this mess, He was my prince, truly, Yet he left me lurching in darkness, None can fathom the extent of my pain, As all my days keep passing by, in vain. He was my soul mate, I always knew, ...

The surprise!! Many times I had been alone, But never felt so lonely before, That too, on my twenty-first birthday, A day I had been dreaming of, since yore, My family was not in town, None of my friends had wished me at midnight, The clock ticked two, and I thought, It’s better to catch some sleep light, My eyes had barely closed, When I heard a knock on the door, I smiled, I wished, I prayed, For a surprise in store, I rushed madly to open it, Only to find no one outside, Crestfallen, I felt, and shattered too, But just when I was about to go inside, My eyes noticed a note lying, It said, come to the garden a block away, I put on my slippers and ran, My heart was leaping, in joy it did sway, I had been waiting for a surprise, And now my excitement grew tenfold, It was pitch dark; I saw a few shadows in the garden, One grabbed me, other gagged me and I was blindfold, I was put in the car, and none spoke a word, And that’s when I started wondering, I wasn’t quite sure they we...

Wistful longing!! This poem is dedicated to all my college friends..thanks for everything!!    Today, as I woke up, I realized it’s the last year, That I’ll be spending, With all my friends dear, And my heart’s filled with a wistful longing, My mind somehow starts envisaging, One year from now, a day, When it would be the time of parting, And that’s when; to them I’ll say, “Now each of you is here, By my side, elated; on the contrary, I moan, Coz I realize, we won’t be together, Henceforth, and I’ll be all alone, Without you, my lovely friends, There will be a gap wide, It seems, here our friendship ends, And my tears won’t stop however hard I tried, But one thing I know, although we’d be miles, Away from each other, The memories, the smiles, The magical moments will remain forever, The movies we watched I'll always remember,, We went to the amusement park together, We cut innumerable birthday cakes, we walked in the rain, And I’ll always wish we could live those mome...

Why am I here?? The corporate world is brutal and tough, It is an infernal path, rough, I have just joined it recently, And it has baffled me completely, There are countless times when I try, To answer an eternal question, why, Was I born, what’s the purpose, Of my life, of my existence, Am I here to be mean, To be ruthless, conniving, a trait seen, In a majority whom I meet, Especially those who have achieved many a feat, Am I here to be unethical, To betray my mother’s words, and be immoral, And hurt people callously, Deeply and incessantly, Am I here to practise, The ubiquitous art of sycophancy, Can’t I achieve what I want, Just based on my talents I flaunt, This is the place where all the niceties we kill, It's all about awaking the dormant devil, This world demands that I do just that, To play with people's emotions, at the drop of a hat……………     

Love happens only once!! You told me to move on, My feelings for you have almost gone, It took time; I found another woman, And my life seems perfect, a heaven, Yet in her gestures and expression, Subconsciously I seek you often, I seek you in her eyes too, Even her smile reminds me of you, I am in a dilemma; I know I love her, Yet it’s not as strong as it were, When I had fallen for you, And experienced the magic true, As of now, I don’t feel that magic with her, Is it coz I compare you and her; I wonder, Is it that difficult to forget, You, my first love, and the day we first met, Will I ever be able to, Move on completely, and forget you. It seems highly unlikely, Coz first love is the only true love, actually, Love happens only once, never twice, Second love is just a compromise, An act of extreme desperation, To overcome the feeling of depression, I may eventually be happy, being with her, But somewhere I think, with you, I’d be happier, Coz life gives us just one chance...

The pursuit of happiness!! I see a picture from my childhood, I am smiling, I look happy, Then I look into the mirror instinctively, And it dawned upon me; everything I understood, My eyes looked red and puffy, My face has lost its glow, My smooth, flawless skin too, did go, And it happened ‘coz I stopped being happy, There was a time in the glorious past, When I could giggle for many an hour, When my heart was free, gliding afar, And it makes me wonder, why didn’t it last, My priorities changed, I entrenched myself into work, I ignored my supportive family, my adorable friends, Now I am alone, it’s too late to make amends, I don’t have a life anymore, what I had has gone berserk, I am in a perpetual state of melancholy and sadness, To the blissful days, i want to turn back the clock, Within me, I badly wish to lock, That desirable, yet evanescent feeling of true happiness………

My dream date!! All my life, I kept searching, For my ideal partner, my dream date, And all my hopes were diminishing, Just then I was blessed by fate, I was sipping coffee alone when I saw her, Since then, I could think of nothing else, She’s the one I was waiting for, since ever, And now I desire her, and nothing else, Delicate like a rose petal, She was the epitome of beauty, And I wanted our love to be eternal, For this, I began wishing continuously, I wanted to ruffle her auburn hair, Walk for miles, her hand I wanted to hold, Gaze into her eyes, and admire her skin fair, And create a story, hitherto untold, Her skin had an unusual glow, Her smile was seductive, yet innocent, About her little did I know, Yet she charmed me, in one moment, My heart began racing, How should I approach her, My mind began thinking, What should I talk to her, I lacked courage, as a matter of fact, Yet I badly wanted to talk to my dream date, But I just kept thinking, and didn’t act, And she ...
