Every thing is more intense when we taste for the first
Intense was my love for you
Passion engulfed all the time
day and night
I could spell just one name
Touch of yours
Soaked my heart in utmost love
Jingle bells and fragrance so sweet
Moved me up to the world so enduring
Days and months passed by
in your thoughts so deep and rich
Shed my eyes in your name
Beckoned all the God so strong.
Nor the dreams, nor the fate
Went in accord with our little heart
All I can is to wish days so bright.
Oh my mobile phone, I love you a lot
Day and night I stuck to you
Text and call has made me alert
Tip of my finger runs so fast to
pass the message to nook and corner.
Sorry my dear filler and ink
You are no more my friend.
Beep of my phone boost me up
Near or far, doesn’t sound effect
I hang to phone and chat all the time
‘Missing you’ is now no more in dictionary
Calculator, dictionary and google search
guides me like a friendly mentor
Songs and games and click- click camera
Makes me busy all the day
But to move on with the tring tring bell,
remember to drop ton-ton money
Or else credit will score the entire merit
While the monsoon slowly knocks at the door
With gusts of wind, thunder and the cool breeze sweeping the moist
I shall sit and snug in an arm chair
Looking at the rain lashing on my window
And perhaps secretly happy
That I am not out there being soaked
In the narrow lane
And the roofs
You clatter and soak
Like a blanket from heaven
Warmth of the winter is in you
sopping the earth all around
Drip drop drip
Here is the rain……humid summer days, bye- bye to you
I am just sitting at my keyboard
doing nothing to muse my brain
Trying to fill up another day
wonder who said
“Time and tide waits for none”
Tick- tick clock seems to be bored
to run its needle ever so fast
Oh! show mercy… Time oh! Time, please do make a circle at ones.
Smelling routine all around
Second, minutes, hours are silent,
And my mates are out of sight.
What to do to brighten my day
sitting alone feel so mad.
Colors nor songs take my heart
“Time and tide waits for none!”
When the sun beams through the droplets of water after rain,
My heart pulses the essence of God
Beautiful you are, oh mother earth!
You made the globe smell of heaven
The swaying trees and the smell of the earth
Makes me wonder how heaven is!
My teeny weeny eyes flicker in the beauty that god has bestowed to man.
Gifted we are to feel the charm of nature
But…alas! The wicked hands snagged the music of life!
Down with an ax, buried the dazzling trees
Flew away the glitters of sky
No more could I sense my God
Darkness encase all around
Cheery sun burned in anger
Burning are we in His rage
Oh my friends, lets fuse to fetch the glow of splendor
Let our future smell our earth
Friends are life, full of fun
shares the shoulders to snivel and giggle
Talks and talks
of the earth so wide
Walks and walks
in the meadowed park
I have friends
smart and sweet
Comes with a hug
all the while
Day or night
shines ever bright
I have friends
lovely and nice
Sounds like a prize
that God has bestowed.
I have friends
those never want to lose

My school stood roaring in my little heart
when my little feet sensed the corridor.
Heavy were the days
Loading stuffed up bag
Hell or heaven, I couldn’t tag.
Yearn the grace of my mama’s kiss,
when I climb upto my class
Feared of the rattling sound of my master’s stick,
I sit with a cautious widened eye.
Stumbled with the call of my name,
I strive to budge my shivery lips to rejoin those Harappans and Mohanjodaro.
Counting the hours to rush upto my mama,
My little heart sat with the fingers crossed
Cursed those historians and mathematicians who flew my book to the red- lined basket
Cursed the ring- ring sound of the school bell that brought those Cholas and Algebras in my Barbie’s world.
Hell or heaven I couldn’t tag my school

Years passed….
My school stood ever so bright, nodding at the temple bells
My school…my heart mumbled after long years of shedding tears.
Longed to see my stepping stone
Who naked the mystery of the world of books
Carrying the trace of my good old teachers,
I proudly sign myself as a Teacher.
Gone are the days…
But my school stood up in the sky touching the heaven of success.
The day when my soul spelled your name
The day when my vision centered at you,
I realized the ache of love.
Like a star, your spell glowed my life
day and night.
My love, in all my deeds and desires,
your memories truss me up
you poured in me the warmth of love…and today,
all the songs I hum
all the poems I scribble
cried your presence so loud
You touched my core like a soothing wind,
You came to my verve with a chilling kindness
My love, shine evermore in my heart.
Dreams, oh dreams….
don’t peep into my sleep
Dreams, oh dreams….
don’t dazzle my sleep
I never hailed you.
You have always pierced my heart
You have always widened my horizon
and… today I fall upon the thorns of my dreams
I bleed….

Oh Nightmare,
You have always comforted me…
The heavy cliffs and the burning beast house
pleased me like never before.
When I fall from the steps of ecstasy
to the fiery hell,
my soft cheery eyes wiggles,
sensing a speechless glee….,
to find me wrapped in my love’s arm,
pacing a curious eye on me
I flutter like an angel….
Oh nightmare,
You make me feel special
You make me feel loved
When I feel his pondering heartbeats
You made my life worth loving
Dreams, fade away from me…..
Having you in my life was ever so great
Giggling and playing
hours flew light like feather
You are my little doll ever so sweet
You gave the role of a caring custodian
while we cross the rushing motor.
You woke up the charm of being an elder
when I hold you cute little hands
With you I shed all my tears
Shared the joy of smiles and knowledge
Argued and bickered and made each other mad
Sister we have been through life’s good and bad
Years passed in sharing and caring
Shared the crush and all time jokes
You are the best friend I ever had
You are a joy that stays with me
Forever together we will hang
sharing and caring each other
Let us bind our family so tight
making our parents ever so proud.
