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.

All that 'starts' well 'ends' well

"However hard it gets when you miss someone you love, however much it kills

to be a lonely soul, living with the ray of hope that everything is not permanent is

not easy to console yourself with! 

I was a total kid without him around, but when I remembered my granny's words -

'all that starts well ends well' I felt relieved as it holds good for everything in life..."

I sit here at my desk sipping hot coffee,

Thinking if I'd ink my 'love biography'

Missing the good times spent with him for hours,

I am already drenched in solitary showers.

     Life was at its best speed when we weren't so busy,

     Lost in planning out the future and things that made me fussy!

    Cuddling and holding hands were nothing less than 'nirvana',

    Responsibilities and monotonous routine were now the sad phenomena.

Whenever I am idle, I long to be with him-

Keeping myself busy with yoga or gym,

However hard I try, I cannot get over his thoughts!

His absence pushes me into darkness, my heart tangled in knots.

    All that I do is shed tears profusely,

    With his void in my world I’ve become so timid.

    My heart and soul feel like an empty shell

    My only hope that keeps me grounded is 'all that starts well ends well'!
