TO MY FIRST LOVE!!

To my first love!!


It’s been more than one year,
Since I have written a poem for you,
It feels weird now, but I wanted to,
Write one, coz it’s your twenty-first birthday,

I know birthdays don’t excite you,
And that has perplexed me since long,
As I perpetually wonder why the birthday song,
Just doesn’t bring on a smile to your face,

I want to change that,
I really do; hence I am writing this,
For you, for our friendship, for the memories,
And also for my dreams that couldn’t become a reality,

Ever since I first saw you in college,
I was infatuated by your beauty,
But I fell in love with you only,
When I saw the angelic side of you,

For me, you were the epitome of beauty,
Your eyes, your smile, your grace,
I could have spent years gazing at your face,
And I had truly given my soul to you,

I vividly remember the smile I got,
When you complimented the poems I wrote for you,
And I started dreaming about you,
Every moment, every day,

But then a fateful day came when you said,
That you didn’t have feelings for me,
It hurt me initially, but then you helped me,
Move on, as a true friend,

The barriers were broken, the awkwardness disappeared,
As we saw our friendship blossoming,
It was love I had till then kept seeking,
But this was as memorable as the dreams I had,

Today to you I wish to say,
I may not have ended up being your boyfriend,
But in you, I have found my sweetest friend,
And I’d always be there for you; anytime, anywhere……………….

p.s- Happy Birthday!! God bless you!!

    "I was infatuated by your beauty,
    But I fell in love with you only,"

    kinda ironic and contradictory;

    "When I saw the angelic side of you"
    does she hv a devilic side too? :P

    "the awkwardness disappeared,"

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...

YOU HAVE ENRICHED MY LIFE!!

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a ...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...
