“I”( A POEM)

“I”

Life was moving smoothly
Just like the birds flying in the sky…
I was facing the problems
Like the leaves passing through the rocks in the river…
But as the river was unstoppable, so was I
Still we both kept going on a high.

Sometimes amusing, sometimes eerie
Time was moving and so was I.
I did not want to think of past
But just access it to know what I missed,
For which I will work for rest of my life.

I know what I want to do.
But every time I achieved one,
Still my list was getting high.
Good or bad but this attribute of mine,
Has never let me satisfy.
Knowing it’s a cul-de-sac…
I was yet cormorant to go by.

I was coy, I was cherubic…
That let me ignore the comely passing by.
But Destiny pushed me in chasm all the time.
Buffoonery of life continued
And I became my own braggadocio!!

Lessons are learnt and I learnt few.
The rules were simple but this was quite new.
The people whom you love the most,
Is the one whom you hurt the most ! !
To others you don’t matter and to whom you matter,
Only they can feel you.

This enigmatic truth of life,
I revealed, I understood
It was rude…
Why would I hurt who cares for me ??
But the truth is truth…
Today I understood the complexity of life…
But I m glad you were there just by my side.

Lord, thanx for giving such people in my life.
Bearing me through and yet pushing me by.
Thanx to you PEOPLE for being my
And always love you all …
For just being MY !!

A POEM : -- Falling in love . . .

Falling in love . . .

Days came, days went..
I was always for myself, thinking just myself.
Carefree, like a butterfly..
I was jumping from one flower to next,
Whichever came next.

I and my cupidity of success..
Took me away, away from amigos
away from relations.
Yet like a triumphant soldier
I was going ahead, leaving all behind.

Narcissism was inculcating in me.
I was loving myself the most.
It was enigmatic, it was strange
But I knew it will pass,
Just like a phase in a life.

One day, I broached with a girl..
Almost like a star from one galaxy to the next,
it went so smoothly and all in a joy.
I thought it was just a moment of my life
And will soon ebb away.

Again, days came, days went..
I was eclectic, don’t know why??
The conundrum was ugly..
But yet engender the joy.
We were going along..
Just ordinarily . .
but the feeling went across extra-ordinarily.

Life inhaled a new life,
Surely, the Heart was in reckoning this time.
I was getting poised, behind her.
But just the sight of her put me in - - aphasia! !

I was shy and I thought, I came over it..
But seemed like the love caught up the real me.
Again shy, but arduously in love..
Wanted her but don’t know why??

Falling in love …
Is what I can sense it out..
But falling is what scares me, lord..
So please make us RISE in love.
Together, in happiness and grief.

ONLY YOU - - A POEM

ONLY YOU…..

Whenever you will come, my girl,
The flowers will blossom all around…
The clouds will shower,
But, the blessings,
in the rhapsody of the harmony.

Your eyes are glittering …
Smitten by them, I go numb.
Unknowingly your eyes gave promises in abundance...
My heart beats on seeing them and love them the most.

The world of dream starts shining …
As I see you caper all over.
Loosing your sight for a while …
Making this world more than futile.

You come, you talk and you smile with me ….
But every time you go.
Agony of letting you go ….
Makes me cadge from inside saying please don’t go, please don’t go….
Letting my heart to chafe, you still go.

Seeing you with others, frets me…
But never had the courage to avow the same.
My heart makes me the vorticist of my life…
But the cynosure is only you, behind all lines.

Thoughts flows, thoughts erupts
All in my heart wandering in sea..
Like a yacht lost its way….
Waiting for zephyr to push it away.

I cede my heart and soul to you,
Because its you…………
And believe me, its ONLY YOU ! ! !
