The Perfect Evening

Well.. this is one poem which i wrote where in I could pour my thoughts about a special evening I plan for my love...something which he would remember all his life .... something we'd remember all our lives ...

Heres to celebrating being together .. here s to celebrating love ..

An evening to remember, an evening to recollect
An evening that seemed just so perfect.
I wish that the time would remain still –
I wish I could see you more – to my hearts fill.

The balloons, the candles
And a table set for two,
Romance filled the air around us
And sweetheart, it was meant just for you.

Those eyes filled with love,
Gazing at me through the candle’s flame
Made me blush scarlet pink,
I’ve captured that moment in a picture frame.

Hand in hand, we sat for hours
Without speaking a word,
And yet this was the best talk I ever had,
Where unspoken words too were heard.

You kept looking into my eyes,
But it felt you were looking into my heart,
We made promises to each other
And without you – my world would fall apart.

Just when you thought
The evening was done
My special plans for you
Had just begun

Beneath the sky with stars shining bright
I knew this was the moment - it had to be tonight.
Expressing my feelings and my love for you
I knelt before you and proposed to you.

At the touch of your hand
My heart skipped a beat,
I remember melting in your arms
You swept me off my feet.

There was something magical about that night,
There s nowhere else I’d want to be.
We are meant to be with each other,
And even the Gods would have to agree.

Nothing lasts forever ..

This poem has a big history behind it which I would not like to speak of rite now ... But if you would have checked my post in the Megha's Diary blog you would have read it already ...

Nonetheless ... A brief intro to this poem is as follows :

The nature of things is that if they don't get lost, they get stolen, and if they don't get stolen, they get broken, and if they don't get broken, they fade or fall apart. This includes teacups, cars, sweaters, computers, earrings, and just about everything you can touch or experience or have--even relationships. Believe it or not, it helps to know that although "it" is in one piece now, its eventual, inevitable state is broken.

Things most cherished and nurtured, eventually and inevitably become nothing... Relationship don't always start as we might expect, nor end as we might wish ..

I’ve thought it over and I know what I want,
No matter what others say, or how much ever they taunt.
Lately, few things have been in my mind
No others means to express I find.

I never really knew you

you were just another friend

But when I got to know you,

I let my heart unbend.

There was this time I thought that you were just for me,
I saw no flaw in my choice, but I guess I clearly dint see.
I never knew this relationship would come to such an end,
And eventually I’d get back to calling you as a friend.

Not holding you in my arms is tearing me apart,

Being away is something I never imagined from the start.

I never thought we'd fall in love, so mad

I never realized life without you would be so bad.

This can't be over; we're still not through,

There's so much we haven't shared - so much we promised to do.
I still can’t stop myself from thinking that I’ll never be able to see you again,
But again, this is my choice and I am not going to complain.

They don't know what we are going through,

How much you love me and I love you.

If they only knew how you made me feel,

with all the problems you helped me deal.

How you taught me I was much more than I had ever thought -

All of the Joy, Happiness, and Love to me you brought.

Thoughts we shared, a life we lived, and a love we had together

and then it strikes back big time that Nothing Lasts Forever.

It's killing me that now that day has come,

If it's for the best then where is this pain from?

I know deep inside that this is what I had to do

but it's breaking my heart to walk away from you

I'm trying my best to appear strong,

but it's hard when part of me says that in your arms is where I belong.

I still love you with all my heart,

and that's not going to change even though we're apart

All the words I ever said or wrote still hold true

But for now from a distance is where I'll be loving you.

I think you need me as a friend to help you through,

because there are things I can't control that are hurting you

Maybe we will be together again if it was meant to be,

but for now please don't stop loving me

Even though I'm not your girlfriend I'll still be here,

With a shoulder to cry on or a sympathetic ear.

One day I will return to you all you have given me,

In some shape or form; soon you'll see.

One day we will be able to be together every day,

And we won't have to worry what they say.

So when the time comes, promise me you'll take my hand and be with me forever,
But again, I am sorry for now.. I have to say that Nothing Lasts Forever…

For you dear Pa ...

This was written on the occasion of Father's Day ...

I can never thank you enough Pa , for what you have done.
There are no words to express what I feel for you.


When I was a baby,
You would hold me in your arms.
I felt the love and tenderness,
Keeping me safe from harm.

I would lookup into your eyes,
And all the love I would see.
How did I get so lucky ?
You were the dad chosen for me.

And as I grew, you stood patiently behind me
Allowing me to stretch my wings
You had faith in what I did,
And never stopped me in doing any thing.

You made me test the waters,
And learn from my mistakes.
You let go off so many things,
Just for my sake.

No matter what has come about,
You were always there,
As a dad you showed me of
the how,the why and the where.

You may have thought that I dint see,
Or that I hadn't heard
Life's lessons that you taught me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought that I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart
But Dad,I picked up everything
It's written on my heart.

Without you,I wouldn't be
The woman I am today
You built a strong foundation
that no one can take away.

Our love is everlasting
I just wanted you to know
That you are my special hero
And wanted to tell you so.

I've grown up with all your values,
And I'm very glad I did,
So here to you,dear Pa
From your forever great full kid.

Mom N Dad - my pillars of strength

Wondering why I havent posted anything about my parents ...?? Well.. Here it goes...

Had penned it when I was in B'lore ..Missed you a lot ma n pa...

Dedicated to my pillars of strength.


Mother and Father of mine,
I am no longer your little girl.
The sweet princess,
Your perfect pearl.

I've grown up
Not you little lulu-belle
You don't have to run when I cry,
You don't have to stop when I yell.

Bigger I am,
Older I've gotten
Much I've changed
But my childhood is not forgotten.

As I let my memories subside,
My eyes fill with tears
I cry with peace abound
For all those happy years.

I know Dad, how hard it must have been
Always working to give me all I'd need
In my eyes you are the greatest of men
Always trying to do the good deed.

I love you Dad,you are my light
If it wasnt for you,I wouldnt ba able to sleep at night
You've helped me learn,helped me grow
There s so much today I wouldnt know.

My Mom , who is there
When I need a friend
Always ready and able
For my problems to tend

There have been times
When tears fell from my eyes
But when I looked up
Mom, you were always at my side.

You've taught me everything
Even your way of life
To know what to do when I am in trouble
Or when I have a little strife.

Always there to catch me fall
And to help make me stand
whatever it is I need help with
Knowing you'll always lend a hand.

I will never outgrow your love
ANd will always need you here for me
No matter how far i travel
Or how much we disagree

We have a bond like no other
One that helps me feel safe
Around you nothing else matters
And in you I have faith

A faith that makes me realize
You are deep within my heart
As long as that remains the same
we can never be apart

I'll always be your girl,
I know thats deep and true
And all that remains for me to say -
Ma n Pa - "I love you " !!!!!!!!!

Lying to Forget

Now that I am on the topic of past - there was another question that came to my mind .What happens when in the future, your past comes and stands in front of you ? You would just see yourself crumble ...

You need to let the feelings engulf you completely. Dont fight them… Dont push them away… Accept them… As part of your self.

The following poem is dedicated to a dear friend whom I could not see causing pain to herself.

You must have moved on sweety ... but i'd never be able to forget the pain you went through.


This lie has become a part of me,
For months I've played this game
Acting like it doesn't hurt
Each time I hear his name .

Ignoring what's inside of me
Pretending I've moved on,
As if the feelings I once had
For him are somehow gone.

Spending each and everyday
With happiness and laughs,
Forgetting all our memories,
Avoiding all photographs.

But suddenly when I saw him
For the first time since he left
My heart skipped for a moment
I couldn't catch my breath.

When suddenly it hit me,
As the tears started to flow
That even after all this time
I just cant let him go ...

Past

Past - we all have a past , but what matters most is how many of us still live in the shadows of our past?

This poem was written for a very spl friend of mine to whom I just wanted to say let go of his past and live for his present and future .

The past holds many secrets
better left untold ,
For to bring them to the present
its bitterness unfolds.

The memories we cherish
may be tarnished by its gloom,
Its darkness and its sorrow
is to what we are doomed.

There is no need to relive the past
for to do so is in vain,
Yesterday's gone,today is here
why relive the pain ?

Forget the past as you turn away
and wish it the farewell
For no longer in your past
will your present dwell ......

Promises

It took me lot of time to pen this poem , coz I thought of all that I wanted from my life partner and what I would want to promise him till eternity .....

So this all about promising yourself to the one you care for and love.

One of my fav's.

Take my hand when my eyes weep,
Hold me gently in your arms,
Finger my curls as I sleep,
Dazzle me with all your charm.

Provide me time and space,
Listen closely when I speak,
Secure in your life my place,
Support me the times I'm weak.

Cherish our times together,
Dread anytime we are apart.
Mean when you say forever,
Let my absence gnaw your heart.

And let all my joys be yours,
Let my sorrows be as well.
And share relationship chores
Mind your ego,lest it swell.

And I beg you never fight,
Let us walk our time in peace
With a kiss for every night
Let our passions never cease.

But above all these , my love
Swear always that you'll be true
For not you I ask these of -
They're my promises to you .

Kaise Kahoon ?

Kaise kahoon apne dil ki baat
Kaise bayan karoon apne saare jazbaat
Kaise kahoon ke tum kya ho mere liye
Ke tumhare bin hum jeeye toh kaise jeeye ?

Kaise kahoon ke tum hi ho mere raton ki neend aur din ka chain?
Sirf tumhe hi dhoonde har pal mere yeh nain
Kaise kahoon ke main guzaarna chahti hoon zindagi ka har pal tumhare saath
Chalna chahti hoon mushkil rahon pe pakde tumhara haath.

Kaash tum meri chuppi ko samjho,
Chuppi bhi mohabbat ki zuban hoti hai
Kaash tum meri ankhon mein padhlo,
Pyar ki sacchayi nigahon se bhi bayan hoti hai ...

Special Friend

You are a special friend ,
Who I know is always there
Some one to share my life with
Every hope,dream and care .

All the time I've spent with you,
Puts a smile upon my face
I hope one day I'll be with you again
Some how,some time ,some place.

You mean a lot to me and I would
Do anything in the world for you
So,no matter whats going on in your life
Just remember you have someone to turn to.

Sometimes I find myself thinking about you more than I should,
But I wont stop myself even if I could
The time has come , you should know
You mean so much to me ,though it may not show.

This is all so hard for me to say,
I couldn't think of any other way.
You've gained my respect and my trust
You know without saying for who I lust.

You're the best guy I've ever met
For our friendship I'll forever be in debt
I think so highly of you, I thought you should know
I'm here for you,forever ,even when you are feeling low.

If something should happen to me or you,
I think its time you knew
You are on top of my list in everything
You don't understand the joy you bring.

To my heart , my life and all I do
I just wanted to tell you that .. "I LOVE YOU "

What I Love Most

You are the best thing,

That I ever knew.

I promise I'll always be here,

Because my life wouldn't be the same without you.



There is something important,

Three words I need to say.

They are "I love you",

And that feeling isn't going away.



I'm sorry for anything that I have made wrong,

I'll try my best to make it right,

Because I couldn't bear one day without you,

Or one dream at night.



I think of you all of the time,

You are something that I've never had.

And you make me feel real and alive,

When I am with you, I can't be sad.



You are what wakes me up in the morning,

You are why I go to sleep at night.

It's the things that you say,

That make everything alright.



You probably have no idea,

That your touch makes my heart pick up its pace,

And that I love everything about you.

The way you gaze down into my face.



You know that I can't wait to see you,

And there is one thing that I especially miss,

The way that you hold me,

The way that you kiss.



I wish I could tell the whole world,

That I can't think of one thing you lack.

But what I love most,

Is that you love me back.

Yaad

Yaad tumhari aati hai,

Pal pal mujhe satati hai
Har lamha who tera saath

Har unkahi who teri baat

Yaad aati hai mujhe

Kuch aur na sujhe mujhe

Who chutta hua tera saath

Tadpaye mujhe har raat

Din mein tujhe dekhkar khush hojati hoon

Raaton ko teri tasveer dekhkar sojati hoon

Khush hojati hoon tumhe hasta dekhkar

Ansoon nikal aate hai hai tumhe door jaankar

Bhula tumhe main sakti nahin

Chupaliya hai dil k eek kone mein kahin

Basi tumhari har yaad vahan

Bas unhe yaad karke bhula deti hoon main jahan……

Love - The Sweetest Emotion

Love is the sweetest emotion that springs in my heart,

Love is the tender kiss you gave me at the start

The sound of your voice and the way you touch,

The warmth of your smile that I love so much.

You are always on my mind, I see you in my eyes

Want to tell you my heart is where your love lies…

I’ll love you forever in just the same way,

As I have from the start with all my heart everyday…

Farewell , My Friends

The Farewell poem of ROSARY , reminded me another one I had written but this one is a recent addition and is dedicated to all the amazing Friends I made at Trianz , Bangalore during the one year of my stay there.

Guys.. I miss you and I miss being a part of all the fun we had.


Moving on and meeting new people
Seemed an interesting thing,
To leave the current way of life,
To grow, I spread my wings.

New work ,new buddies
A whole new world to explore,
Also I was coming back home
Could I wish for any thing more ?

At first tears never came & overflowed
All there was ; was excitement and laughter
For the final day at Trianz would soon come
and I had no clue what awaited me hereafter.

But during the last few days,things changed
Memories and good times of past shown
Clouded my mind as I thought of leaving
And suddenly I felt I was all alone.

All of a sudden,and unimaginable
Reminiscing the past seemed to be a difficult task
Tears mixed with sobs would flow down my cheeks
With a smile I'd try to mask .

"Why do I cry ?",I asked.
I always wanted to leave,dint I ?
"Cant wait to get out from here",were my initial words
But at the cost of such good friends , made me cry.

Remembering all the good times and even the bad
Including the fights we sometimes had
We stuck together through sunshine and rain
In the end,friendship was our gain.

You were with me when I was good
Still with me when I was bad
I could never fake a happy face
You'd know when I was sad.

Those endless shopping sprees,
That was so much fun
We would talk for hours and hours
And never be done.

We were a family
All this one year
Thank you for all the memories
The laughter and the tear

Sadness creeps in me as I sit with clouded eyes,
Still crying and heart full of sorrow
Nothing will be lost ,I thought
All's well,I'll look forward for tomorrow.

Although we are going separate ways,
Life going on as the say
yet for now all I can say
Is to God for you I'll pray.

Sure,new experiences will come
But no one will outshine you guys
To the friendship that brought me sky
Dear Friends , I wish you good luck and goodbye !!

The Oils Of Our Lamp - Teachers Of X E

This is one of the most memorable poems I ever wrote .. It was in the final year of my schooling and was about the wonderful teachers who taught us ..

I miss you ROSARY .. I miss you dear teachers ..






Last year of schooling , end of all
X E wasn't ready to face what would befall .
But to give us a finishing touch,
We got teachers whom we love very much.
We got our class teacher Mrs Lakshmi,
Blend of all good qualities is she .

The name physical science sends shudders through our nerves,
But to make us understand and feel it was easy - a credit Mrs Lakshmi deserves .
Next Mrs Leelavati - a teacher very sweet
With whose explanation , the fear of Biology took a back seat.

Looking at English and Social Studies,crazy thoughts appeared
But at the sight of Mrs Reena David, they all disappeared.
Next comes Maths, the difficult of all ,
With a teacher like Mrs Mary Sunitha,how is it possible that the difficulty is not solved?

Hindi is the easiest and the best
With Mrs Pushpa, who's as good as the rest .
Second languages are two,
Special English and Telugu ,
But with teachers like Mrs Matilda and Mrs Rosemary
We began to love these subjects too ..

Computers is easy for some and difficult for some
But with Mrs Rama - it was always fun.
How can I forget the exercises,march past & games like basketball ?
Taught to us by Ms Hariet , beloved of all .

Not only them but also the other teachers
Have equally played a role for the betterment of our future
I will remember every moment in ROSARY
Whether in sorrow or in joy
But tears roll down my eyes,
As I bid my dear school GOODBYE !!!

A Tree's Request

( An 8th class creation ... )

What is my fault that you are so cruel ?
Don't I give you everything from shelter to fuel ?
I am so helpful to you when I survive
And yet you want to see me die ?

I give you food to eat and clothes to wear
But for my pains you have no care
I give you fruits,flowers and all
Just for timber you make me fall .

Be aware without me alive,
You will surely die !!
There will be no greenery at all
And to all of you death would befall .

Save Mother Earth

(Another 7th class creation ... this was based on a particular topic that was given to us )

The world is full of pollution ,
Which is a source of destruction
Because of people who dont care
There are automobiles every where
The oceans are like dustbins
with dead scales and tins
The markets are full of screams and yell
And looks as if we are in hell.
Destroy the pollution in a city with unity
Save world from pollution
And give way for Gods integrity of creation !!

A Varied Dream

( This was the poem I had written for the school magzine when I was in 7th class .. )

Late at midnight,
I heard someone fight
To my horror whom did I see??
"Akbar the Great" was fighting with me !!
We both were fighting at "Haldi Gathi"
He had a sword and I had a lathi
But somehow I escaped.

On moving further I was in a city of sand
On exploring it I came to know it was Alice's Wonderland !!
The queen of hearts was sitting on a chair
While the bunny was making arrangements for a fair.

By now I was tired and wanted to sleep
But from a distance I heard a girl weep
I went near her and what did I see?
She was looking exactly like me !!

We sat and talked till someone pushed me in a stream,
When I opened my eyes,
I came to realize,
That it was just s silly dream ... !!
