My Home

The voices I hear at a distance, are calling my name.
The air that touches, always has a message to claim.
The people I left, are still doing the same.
I miss my home, I wanna visit again.

The hand of my mother, shivers in pain.
The help of my friends, a promise forever maintain.
A stranger on the other side of the road, still smiles without knowing your name.
I do miss my home, I wanna visit again.

The smell of my soil, my land is not plain.
The taste of my food, a craving food-lane.
The picture of my country, a growing frame.
I actually miss my home, I wanna visit again.

The Auto-rickshaw, and the local train.
The multi-culture shared, a honorable gain.
The innocence of my people, a very big pain.
I madly miss my country, I wanna visit again.

Oh my DEeR !

I saw her, and she saw me.
I held her by her waist, and she had her hand on my shoulder.
we danced, and people laughed.
....... and this is when our love story began.

I feel like I've been robbed.
Money is still there, but heart is gone.
She took everything away from me,
She is mine, "My Terrorizing Beauty" !

I see the dark cloud above my head.
I feel like I'm hanging over a bridge, with only a thread.
My heart and soul are gone, and so is my mind.
Oh yes I agree, that love is blind.

She punches me, in every dream.
But first I hug her, and later I scream.
Cyclone and Thunderstorm are nothing.
She is the one who makes my head go spinning.

She has my heart, and my soul.
She got me, under her control.
She is my love, and my life.
She is my girlfriend, and she owns me right.

Lover Boy

Her sound sleep was disturbed when she heard a thud.
it was 7am on a Saturday morning, and her child was up.
She whispered to herself, "oh boi, hez up to the weekend routine"
and quickly got up and looked out of her window.

She could see the boy running in the backyard.
and he ran towards the tree and started digging.
She saw that he kept something.
Later, he covered it with mud.

When she went in kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.
He was still outside, but removing empty bottles from trash can.
but when he walked in from the backdoor, and she looked at him.
That bit of dirt on his face spoke the boy's true heart.

The boy had a crush over her ex-neighbor.
ever since he was 5 years old, and she was 11.
But she moved to a place which was far from his.
and it was a lil more than 2 years now.

Mother finally asked the boy.
"What you did since morning"
Boy filled his eyes with excitement,
and went on and on about his plans to bring the girl back.

Ever Saturday morning, he would write love notes to her,
Nicely fold em, and put em in an empty bottle.
Get big balloons ready,
and also making friends with pigeons.

Sunday would also be his busy day.
As he had to throw bottles in ocean.
and also Love-Notes tied on Pigeons and Balloons.
and make preparations for next weekend.

Father was fed up of him.
Mother would still encourage him and buy him balloons.
This way, he never lost his hope of getting her back.
... and one fine day, she calls him saying what she saw;
a pigeon with a balloon in mouth, sitting on top of a bottle.

Blessed Love

I thought I was getting closer to the dream I had wished to attain,
I thought I had found what I wanted…an unqualified love for someone!
It seemed like his aura passed through mine, touching all my senses
I knew this would happen from the moment I got to know him
I felt that I almost touched an entity that has created this world, through him

Just like a garden full of fragrant flowers gives out varied hues n fragrance,
His presence spreads bliss and elation.
He can be loved for so many reasons and the reasons would only transmit more love for him.

It’s rightly said loving someone deeply, changes your life for good
Loving him completely has shown me sanctity.
I know that I’d love him till the end of this universe for he’s the one who makes me happy and content.
A present of this kind should be treasured ….And so I wish to cherish this token of love forever…

unconditional loves' unexpressed feelings !

Finally he screamed it out to her.
"I love you"
...and he woke up.
Yes, this was his dream !

His heart was beating faster
He was short of breath.
He was sweating a lot.
Finally he got himself together,
and started thinking about his past.

He was three when he first saw her.
First Day of school, and love.
She sat next to him in class.
Maybe her pony-tail took away his heart.

He didn't know what love was.
So asked his Grandma for help.
She giggled a bit, but gave him a secret advice.
and he really wished is she accepted her cookie and smiled.

He didn't grab his courage.
He already knew he had much of it.
He opened his Nemo-Tiffin-Box and walked straight to her.
She actually accepted his cookie and smiled :)

Everyone knew,
as times flew,
the trees grew,
and so did the two...

For him, she was the one he loved.
For her, he was her best friend.
For their parents, they were born for a reason.
For me, they were meant to fall in love.

and this way, high school came to an end.
it was time for college, and to say good bye.
He wanted to be a doctor whereas,
she her best qualities was as an artistic painter.

He finally finished his studies.
So did she finish her college.
He would often stare at her from across the street.
But she forgot about his existence.

Boy met this girl.
Girl met this boy.
Boy was always in love with her.
Girl found her best friend (again)

He rubbed his eyes and got off his bed.
Went to the kitchen, and grabbed a cup of water.
Held it in front of him, and tried to drink it.
Started staring it, and forgot his thirst.

Next day, he walked to her.
Had no need to grab his courage.
He knew he always had it.
Opened his cookie jar and asked her to open it.

....... and there was a wedding ring in there.
