When my world was collapsing,
You came as a pillar,
When my dreams were fading,
You came as a light,
When my thoughts became blank,
You filled it in with color,
When my smile started dying,
You became the reason for me to rejoice,
When tears in my eyes overflowed,
You bought solace in them,
When I started feeling lonely,
You bought life back in me,
When my mood became emotional,
You made me practical,
When I missed terribly my people
You mimicked each one for me,
When darkness came near me,
You bought brightness with your presence,
When I felt it to be end of road,
You showed me new path, new goal,
When today I think of you,
So many emotions surge in my heart,
Love, Gratitude, Guide, Philosopher,
The best one though is last to come,
Coz’ I make you my dearest friend,
You have given me so much I can never repay,
But promise I make, to be always happy,
Promise I make, that I will always smile
As in my Smile lies my dearest friends Smile.

My Lemon Girl
A thousand times will I fall in love with you
My Lemon Girl
And walk past those meadows
in the lap of hills all around
and squeeze every gleam of sunshine
Flowing out of your beautiful eyes
Will you let me watch your gentle face
Until the dark demons
Surround us with their evil intent
And push me away from this sublime joy
I shall not cry then
My dear Lemon Girl
I shall consume those tears of love
And hold them in my eyes
And feel the silence of My Lemon Girl
Till eternity
Waiting for her tender fingers
To wipe them off
Drop by drop
From my cheeks.
