I remember penning poems and stories as a kid. Maintaining my personal dairy since I was hardly 8 years old has over the years helped built the confidence in me that I too can write. I have been blogging for almost 3 years now. But I write poems only when I am sad or deeply moved. / / As a person, I try to leave behind a smile always. I firmly believe that it costs nothing, but then gains you a lot! So, start smiling!
Early morning breeze -
I'd never missed you so far!
But today when I woke up to the dawn
You passed by me like the softest dream.
Your soothing touch on my dry skin
Felt like I'd never been caressed before
Your mellow whispers into my soul
Left me longing for your company, more!
Your earthy scent and warmth exposed
Made me take a few steps towards you, close!
But as the rains peeped in, I whined and cringed
And forced you out, ending our lovely meeting!
I won't promise you I'd be back again...
But I know you'd be waiting at my door
Waiting to hear the latch unbolt,
Waiting to be ushered into a 'room' that's cold!

SOS
Lord, heed our prayers
and keep us strong
Help us follow you
and lead those around
We are tiny souls,
yet challenges surround
Please hold our hand,
please don't let us drown!

Pull me, hate me
Or even shoot me down
But make sure friends
You've really knocked me dead.
For, if I can breathe...
I'll be back on stage
Fighting with every bit
Until I win your heart again!

My choices, sigh!
Are only two -
Either walk away blind
Or to take a knife.
I do not want to ****
For I'd ***** with guilt
But I don't want to stay
I'm of no help anyway!
What do I do!
I just want to live
A happy full life
Until I am called!
I do not want to die
At the hands of a dictator
Nor while shredding him to pieces
With millions of spectators!
I want to walk free on my street
Without killing or being killed
I just want to live a full life
A happy full life, without fear!

I miss you.
Every day... every night -
In every moment that's dull or bright.
In every step, in every fall -
I only wish, with you I could walk.
In every tear dropped, in every smile wide -
How I wish you'd be by my side!
In every dream, in every prayer -
I seek your happiness, warmth and care.

I am the provider.
I will keep giving.
With my sweat, blood and flesh.
And when it ceases,
with my soul.
For I am the provider.

The sky has not been bright
The rains too are not in sight
It's long since I've seen a starry night
Sigh! I've not been in the best of plights!
Yet I know if I'd put up a fight
It would not be for the rains, nor a starry night
For me the only thing that could set this right
Is a kiss from you light and a hug mighty tight!

Salty tides keep passing by
How you'd wish one would stop a while
And let you know it has come a long way
Just to be with you!

3 strangers -
Bound by fate.
1, in the canal,
2, walking down the lane.
A mild bark, fell on deaf ears
A cry for help, in vain.
While passers-by, kept passing by -
2 little boys stopped a while.
Only to be soon united by
A bond stronger than love
Care for a fellow being in pain
Who struggled on it’s own.
The 3 of them, pulled each other out
From the vicious circle of 'self'
After smiling once at each other's face
For their lonely walks, they left.

Your words soothe my hurting soul
Like no prayer or psalm has, ever before
If only I could return that experience of joy -
To let you know what you mean to me, my boy!
