Sea and Shore

"Everything in life has a first time! It was the first time in three years - that he yelled! 

The world to me felt topsy-turvy oh what a shocker! I had never seen him lose it, like ever.

For it was the first of many firsts in our relationship"

She loves him; she loves him not.

She is so disturbed; his temper is fuming hot.

His mood swings are tearing her apart -

Evidently hampering her life's peaceful cart.

     Her mind confuses her too much,

     Her positive thoughts blending with a negative touch,

     She is in love, just head over heels!

     Everything else in her mind - just kneels. 

Love is always in the air until,

his temper turns her world just still.

She is broken and her helpless feeling,

makes her the song of a melancholic saying!

     Love is so loud, wounds are just louder!

     The darkness of the pain in the hearts gets heavier.

     Why don't they understand what they are meant for?

     To love and not to hate, like the sea and shore.

True love

"A soul finds its soulmate when its true love is found! 

What is true love? Why is it called so? How can you be sure? are the first few questions asked; answers to these can never truly be explained nor said, but only truly felt. 

'True love' was a myth for me until it was reality! Thoughts clouded my mind with the beauty of true love and so I began to ink..."

What really is love? A mystery? A puzzle?

It's full of life and overdosed with dazzle!

It's mistaken for lust and sometimes for luxury,

Fighting for true love is but sheer bravery!

    Life seems meaningless without this only element,

    Enriched and engraved in every little fragment-

    Every little fragment which completes the only maze;

    The maze called true love that can make any soul daze!

Love is the only invention of the only almighty,

Some call it dangerous while some call it Godly.

What really is true love? Is it for real?

It is as real as life is and anything can be!.

    'Tis a connection that speaks without communication.   

    A devotion truly felt like a patriot of a nation.

    A crazy feeling that makes one alive and equally dead;

    True love is simply divine; neither can be depicted nor said!!!

Class and Sass

"After ages, my little sister and I spent time together, just the two of us. 

Our giggles and silence echoed louder than the wind chimes adding melody to the night. 

We got all nostalgic; reminiscing the good old days and the unforgettable yet embarrassing times. The fights, the silly stuff, the crushes, the bets, the rise and fall of an era, the achievements and everything else under the sun that we shared. 

This day is still so special to me, engraved in my heart and mind"

We sat on the cold bare floor-
gazing at the polished wooden door,
not a single thing had changed between us;
Deciding 'Who should latch the door?' turned to a ruckus!

    Courage out-poured, being the only two souls.
    All the rooms at home seemed like empty bowls.
    We did feel lonely without our folks around -    
    for always, to them our lives were bound.

'Family' on vacation and we chose not to join,
the interests were but two sides of a coin.
The spirit stared at us, for the royal tilt!
with steel and glass goblets above the quilt. 

    Still confused if we really had to,    
    drink to glory until we turn blue!   
    serving it in style, with the best ever sass,    
    she proudly toasted - "Class and Sass!".

Inseparables

"The love shared while being around is definitely worlds apart from being away; 

distance intrudes the bonding. 

Same was the case when he had to travel abroad a couple of times, knowing we 

will miss each other beyond the bounds of imagination.

Distance diminishes a lot of things like the warmth of hugs, the pecks of affection, 

the taste of the kisses, the intensity of craziness... 

All the fun times being around each other will seem so void until he's back. 

No matter what happens, however distant, we share eternal love.”

After the love filled conversation,

I hated my state of confusion.

Why do you have to go away?

You know without you I cannot stay!

    Missing you has now become a part of me,

    I feel so incomplete, letting it be;

    The bond and the togetherness that we share,

    Completes my life, oh so fair!

With you so far, so out of reach,

I miss the evening walks on the beach!

You are the best God made gift I have earned -

A bond made in heaven that cannot be burned.

    It is evident that we are 'the inseparables'-

    It is the best thing in the world, nonetheless

    We are the 'made for each other - forever soul mates',

    In this world of desert sands we are the eternal shades.

Too late!

"Life has its ups and downs... There are times in life that touch the edges or peaks 

testing your threshold... 

Like the saying - 'Sometimes it takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate

 silence and absence to value presence.' 

Just like that, I needed an awakening! With time, learning becomes a habit with 

every painful experience... Lessons that teach your threshold; when it's too late 

and time to let go... "

I knew the world around me changed, it did!

But never even thought that my world ever could!

In my garden of roses I forgot there existed thorns

They were poisonous weeds and I mistook for ferns.

    Controlled myself to throw a smile like I was fine,

    Hid my tears to make sure my eyes did shine,

    Told my heart to forget the scratches it did bear,

    Forced my mind to stop the thoughts it had shared.

In my temple of love I feared to discover demons,

I could feel it all trapped in the suffocating dungeons,

Pain and anxiety peaked my blood pressure,

I fell so deep, impossible to measure.

    Was my last birth full of sins that I had made?

    For being unable to retrieve myself from the darkest of shades?

    Can't you see my bloody tears and hear my sad mourn?

    Too late! into infinite pieces my soul is torn!

Drift

"Life is not always like the spring and summer, it is only complete when caressed 

by winter and storms ... 

Times change things, situations and people! Sometimes the past seems brighter 

than the dark present...“

Walking in aisle of memory lane,

Those peaceful times with zero pain.

How I wish I was the same single woman,

Feels like I am shot down by a bloody gun.

    Falling in love was out of my life's syllabus,

    I abided by it without a fuss.

    Tired of justifying that I really was single,

    Erasing the only word in my dictionary - 'Mingle'.

Contradicting and breaking my beliefs and ethics,

I fell in love and emotions were a mix,

'Twas the best miracle that ever happened to me,

Life was never so full of glee.

    Today I look back at every single blow,

    I can feel my heart beat getting slow.

    For the dedication and love this was my gift,

    From the dark present to the peaceful past, I needed to drift.

Happie B'day Maa

"My first poem to my only power woman! 

The one who gave me life and told me how beautiful it was!

She has been one of the extraordinary people I've ever seen.

The only woman who understood me when I did not know how to speak!

She is the Woman who is the 'Beauty with Brains'! On her special day, I began to ink"

"Amma" was the first word, I uttered after birth,

You've known me since before I crash landed mother earth.

Mom is the most precious gift a child could possess

Since childhood you've always been my only graceful Goddess!

            You look so young, despite your age,

            You're so kind and pure like the sage-

            Words fall short to describe what you are to me

            With you around my life is filled with over-pouring Glee.

With your love, care and heartfelt blessings,

I strived for perfection with your guidance.

You've been my friend, mentor and more,

When I’m hurt, your words were the best cure.

            Oh my Mom, I am lucky and I love you a lot

            You mean so much to me and what not!

            All I pray to God is to keep you Happy and Healthy

            Your well-being is what makes me most Wealthy.

A very happy Birthday Amma!!!

Will you marry me?

'Time keeps every human being busy. Sometimes to an extent where one would lose

track of the date and day! 

My life was so bustling with schedules, dates, work, studies and what not!

While working on how to debug the code, to my surprise, the date struck me!

Oh my God! Exactly three years back from this day, we had begun to date! 

Love was the word that stood best in my dictionary,

For my persona it was something absolutely contrary!

I loved myself too much to even think of someone else,

What a surprise - I found myself in a beautiful mess.

    Life never seemed so perfect and in place,

    We were meant to be like Satin and Lace.

    It's true like the saying,'Falling in love is an accident'

    In my aura you were the mesmerising scent.

'Live your life to the fullest' was what I believed in,

'It just got better' I told to myself, with a grin,

As days passed by I lost myself to you,

Three years done! Yet everything seems afresh and new!

    To dream of us living life together forever,

    Wow! We'd be like Volcanoes and tremors!

    You words 'Will you marry me?' still lingers in my ear

    It's a 'Yes' baby! I always want you near!

Bread and Butter

"When emotions are ecstatic and feelings are fast paced, my state of mind arises

like tides on a full moon day!"

I miss you more than words can say,

I love you unconditionally come what may,

Until every strand of my hair turns grey,

Not a moment passes without your thoughts in a day.

    Whatever the season be - summer or spring,

    Without you around, all I feel are jitters,

    Me and you together it can't get any better -

    We are made for each other like bread and butter.

We might argue or make love at night,

We communicate and celebrate after every fight

Love keeps us going though it was at first sight,

In my darkness you are the only light.

    Our blend is as perfect as I'm tequila and you're lime,

    Me and you - two bodies, one soul, perfectly fine.

    It sure proves, our marriage was made in heaven,

    It's because of your love I'm always on cloud nine.
