Trick

As the droplets fall by today,

The grey cover hiding the light,

The cold water sends down a chill,

Making it a delight to feel.

The city is soaked with water,

The reason being rain,

Confusion is all that i have,

And i am trying to hide the pain.

The clouds refuse to go,

The droplets run down like small children,

The paths are wet and sticky,

Making it difficult to walk by the city.

The chance of getting out is nil,

I am grounded for nothing,

The world here is out,

But i am waiting today to just have a taste.

The clouds now move away,

The sun shines again,

A smile covers my face,

Joy fills up my mind,

And then again it rains.

....Distance....

When the volume is less,

I can listen to the tune very clearly.

When a person is away from me,

I can understand him properly.

When the volume is high,

I find it too loud.

When a person is near,

I find his presence irritating.

The words speak nothing,

But the silence of distance ,

Creates a loving feeling,

And the pain of love is sweeter than words.

But when the distance of loneliness stucks in,

I finally know  that my heart beats for him. 

As we walk :)

As we walk down the path,

Heading hand in hand to the woods,

Chirping birds and singing koels,

Flowers and fruits swarming like bees,

And the animals watching hidden behind piles of leaves.

The tall mountains standing,

Ornamented with thick snow,

Wild flowers crying silently,

As I step on them,

Pleading for mercy,

An insect bite reddens my cheek,

I turn to you with anger,

You smile to the insect,

 And point out the frail being under my boots.

I feel ashamed as I turn to see,

Only to find a wild one dead,

While pleading for mercy,

In her own home,

I came to taste a view of the spectacular forest,

But oh! What did I do?

I still try to argue,

You seem sad,

And you pull my hand as we run.

I huff and sniff as we run through shady trees,

But have no nerve to question you,

I can’t keep up with you,

But you pull me around,

Exhaustion causes me to shout,

While we reach the end of tall trees,

And a small pond comes in view.

All animals, big and small,

Gathered together,

Respecting each other,

Drinking water,

I try to comprehend my feelings,

To feel more guilty,

And a lesson so precious I learn,

Into the wild,

As you and I walk....

A new day

Eyes fight back sleep,

Fret over the mild pandemonium,

To the distant sound of the usual chatter,

Of markets selling fresh veggies,

Vendors shouting to attract customers,

A feast of sweets, chocolates and love,

Of granny  calling small kids over,

To taste the freshly baked muffins & cookies.

The sun already rose,

Behind  far hill,

In the different hues of yellow,

To mark the beginning of a new morning mellow ,

Dew drops on leaves flicker ,                                  

Flowers on the hill top dance,

Fresh fruits wait to be plucked,

On this brand new morning.

Come out of dreams,

A voice shouts,

Fluttering open my eyes,

I stretch on the bed,

Look  out to the far hill,

Greet my friend sun,

With  a promise of a beautiful fun,

And a Smile that can fill,

The void of this morning,

Marking the new beginning........

Something speaks!

Something’s strange, something’s very rare,

I tread down my path,

Listening to that beautiful song,

But my brain in some deep thoughts,

Something I really can’t figure out,

Well is this what we call craziness?

First is the encounter,

A shadow of someone,

Whom I never met before,

But his face grips my imagination,

Flashing off a wave of dizziness,

To know it’s actually strange,

Two strangers smiling at each other,

Either out of fantasy or lost minds.

And we turn away on our own ways,

Still thinking about something,

Is this what we call a connection?

A small moment together,

A very strange one.

Every day I tread along the path,

I expect to see his one glance,

Deep down somewhere,

I know it’s so outwardly naive,

But my searching eyes,

Never seem to bother about the inner feelings,

The hope still remains,

And very light it is,

Like that of a sun in a thunder.

A small moment it is,

And when we come across again,

Like two lost strangers,

Something again clicks,

Like we were waiting.

Run along the path,

This time towards each other,

And we smile again,

The childish connection,

Something speaks for itself,

We knew at that moment it does!

The smile

When I see around,

Find a million reasons to smile,

But why is it that I still find that one reason,

The only one that makes me sad,

I was never like this,

Happiness was my core part,

But as I grew up I found it hard,

Even harder when I am now so excited,

So much to look forward to.

Heart wrenched in these deep confines,

Of solitary love,

And still finding it hard,

To love & let go,

Confusing it is,

And upsetting too,

I hold my tears back,

Make myself strong,

Beacuse I have to bid goodbye,

With a smiling face.

Hard it is but determined I am,

Life is a journey,

In which I am looking for my world,

Full of lovely dreams,

To come and tickle me,

Till I don’t flash my smile,

Which makes so many others smile....

You

My love for you is childish,

Its that love which i thought never existed,

Something isn’t right but i feel strongly,

About you and only you.

My love has always been hidden,

My mouth speaks,

But its the heart that actually feels,

 For  you, only you.

I don’t know if i will ever tell you,

Its  my secret which i won’t reveal to you,

My love for you is full of care,

 The  only thing on earth which is rare.

If  you ever understand my eyes,

Which speaks the universal language,

Then i’ll know i found you and only you.

Among the strange crowd ,

I may see your familiar face,

Smiling in a kiddish way,

And that time i would know i found you,

The only one i waited for so long.....
