Straight from my heart...

I wish!! I wish I could be in his place, And see the same joy on your face, The glow you have in his presence, That, when you are with me, I can never sense, I wish someday you would utter, My name with love, as if it were, Your charming prince you were calling, But this is all so futile dreaming, I daily wish you would let him go, Coz we’d be the best couple, I know, With you, I wish I could spend a whole day, As my smile will then never fade away, I wish of a kiss at midnight, On new years’ eve, amidst celebration bright, A moment that will be truly special, Something we would cherish till time eternal, I wish you would come with me, On long rides, as we shall see, Places adventurous and exotic, Desolate and truly romantic,                    I realize, with him your heart does belong, But it is you I’d always long, In this birth, I may not be the chosen one, But you’d always be my perf...

Apprehensive!! A poem that describes the frame of mind of most CAT aspirants…!! I have many dreams and I constantly desire, To be a part of the hallowed elite, To carve a niche for myself, To keep getting better; to keep flying higher, But as the day keeps getting nearer, My heart’s filled with a thousand apprehensions, I don’t seem to have any idea, Of what is going to happen further, I know this is going to be a gargantuan test, Of my perseverance and endurance, There are times I feel like quitting, But I can’t; I want to win against the very best, There are times my mind doubts itself, It wonders if it can handle, Such intense and sustained pressure, Which can even lead to destruction of the self, God, give me the strength; today I bow before thee, I don’t know a single hymn or prayer, Neither do I regularly visit the temple, But in these testing times, please stick with me, I’ll put in the efforts and leave the rest, To you, for you are omniscient and all mighty, Help me...

I want you back!! There was a time you said, I make you smile everyday, Things have drastically changed, now you say, I merely depress you, There was a phase when you showered me, With innumerable compliments, for you I was adorable, But now my presence makes you miserable, I am a stranger; just a nobody, I wonder why you despise me so much, Why is that I don’t exist, But you’ll always figure in the list, Of the most important people in my life, I truly care for you, I still love you, Daily I want to rekindle our romance, Daily I pray for that one chance, To spend a few moments with you, my love, I just can’t move on, however hard I try, When I am engrossed in my work, Your thoughts engulf my mind, it goes berserk, I just can’t forget you, My heart is filled with a hundred memories, More importantly, with many a thousand desire, The flame has metamorphosed into an uncontrollable fire, As I crave for you every minute, every second, Every couple I see on the road, Reminds me o...

Bride- search!! For an year or so in life, I have been searching for the one, And I have made a list of qualities, That I want to see in my wife, I have met many a prospective bride, Some really good looking, Some really decent, and comely, And to force me to marry, my parents have tried, But somehow I can’t generate any feeling, In my heart, for them, As my heart still resides with someone else, My ex- girlfriend; to me, she’s everything, Her face comes before my eyes, With her I had envisaged a future, Yet one day she disappeared, I kept calling for her yet she ignored my helpless cries, It is her I felt the most comfortable with, Her presence always managed to bring out, The mischievous child within me, And it’s her I still dream of spending my life with, My mind drifts to a time divine, When we had walked on the beach, holding hands, We were the perfect couple, everyone said, And now I miss her badly; I wish she were still mine, I keep dreaming of that pretty lady, Then s...

Anything for you!! I waited for a lifetime, For my dreams to come true, Then one day they did, That was the day I first met you, I met you as a stranger, You trusted me, took me as a friend, I’d do anything for you, I just want your company, till the end, I vividly remember the times, When I was torn and tattered, You gave me hope, alleviated my pain, When I was bruised and battered, You helped me when you barely knew me, When the entire world was cynical, That’s when I realized, I prayed, I wanted our bond to be eternal, Angels are found in heaven, But God has sent you here to correct me, When I am wrong, otherwise to protect, And all I want is you to forever, be with me, I thank you for being so kind, And I am sorry I never reciprocated, I am sorry I always hurt you, And brought tears, as a depressing environment I created , I realize I have been a terrible friend, but today I promise, I’d always be there for you, Sharing your joys and sorrows, in good and bad times, You a...

When dreams come true!! The road ahead seemed tough, The path rocky, steep and rough, But my mother always said, dreams will be fulfilled, Your efforts will be rewarded, your fate sealed, I waited and waited for my destiny to change, Each time my plans got thwarted I planned revenge, But one fine day, Lady Luck smiled upon me, As god bestowed all his blessings upon me, It’s a special feeling when things begin to fall in place, When I see a ubiquitous smile on my face, It’s a special feeling when dreams come true, As I feel proud to be one of the privileged few, I want to thank a few people, Without whom, this wouldn’t have been possible, Those include my family and many a friend, Thank you for sticking with me, till the end, I am happy my dreams were fulfilled, I am elated my prayers were answered, indeed, I feel, right now I am on cloud nine, I hope this feeling lasts; it’s truly divine, It’s always a special feeling, A moment forever worth celebrating, When God bestows all ...

The race against time!! This poem is written by a dying woman partly to herself, partly to her husband and to her two kids… I look at the three of you and feel sad, Coz I know what I am losing, I can’t believe I am racing against time, It still can’t believe I am dying, Death is making me afraid, As what will happen, I wonder, To you and our lovely kids, Once I am not near, I want to see them grow, And for themselves carve a name, I want to see them reach the pinnacle, And attain prestige and fame, I want to hold my grandchildren, In my arms and play with them, And make them feel special, By constantly pampering them, I look at you, my beloved husband, And remember the promises we made, All the things we were supposed to do, All the plans we had laid, We were going to be together, forever, But god had different plans for us, Take care of yourself when I am gone, And please bid me farewell, without any fuss, I’ll miss you, my adorable kids, But remember I am always there for yo...
