This Year Again..

I'm so proud of all you've done,

In that presentation, you truly shone..

I wanted to reach out, to say it clear,

Your hard work and strength deserve a cheer..

Diwali lights, bright and new,

I'd wish you joy if I could too..

Though words now fade, know in my heart,

I'm proud of you, even though we're apart..

Remembering, that rangoli,

From that first time..

May all those dreams come true..

--

Heard You..

Do you remember..

this day?

Thirteen years..

a long time..

Same sinking..

That..

And this..

--

Accha Suno..

Thirteen years ago,

This day? 

Blurred as my sight,

Or is it? 

What forever,

Is this?

Or afterlife,

This already? 

Hold my hear,

Should I?

Let out a smile,

Will you?

I miss you..

In words,

And in silence,

Out loud I hear..

--

How Else Otherwise..

Perhaps life is just a wish,  

A fleeting dream we pursue each day,  

A quiet hope, a gentle sigh,  

That slips away like morning's first ray..

Drafts #2013 - Hoping Beyond Imagination ..

Life sometimes puts us to tests ..dark hours ..  

tests, we think we might never come out of and survive ..   but what keeps us going is that tiny spec of light at the end of this long tunnel .. 

and then, 

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever ends..

 

--> a smile is mandatory..  blessings !!

About Life..

Remembrance,

Is golden..

Is grace..

Is distance..

Is silence..

Everything?

Who,

Will explain..

--

Don’t Know..

Some days,

Are more,

Restless,

Than others..

How do,

I ask..

How do,

I explain..

--

Of You..

Words, words.. 

And words..

In silence,

And noise…

I wish I could,

Share for once..

That inside..

I did never hide..

I show her,

All that I have left..

--

Unnamed ..

Something arrived,

The other morning..

A packet so full,

Yet no names..

My heart skipped,

A beat I'm telling you..

A voice inside,

Said it was you..

I've finished a meal,

Left unfinished..

I've used a glass,

Half used by you..

I keep praying,

For your one word..

One blessing..

You are a part of me,

Then why..

--

And Ever..

I stepped,

On a lemon,

In the market..

Remembered,

How I was,

Asked not to..

With flashbacks,

Life unfolded,

As I realized..

Some even though,

So far away,

Actually are near,

Forever..

--

Worth..

Some words,

That live,

In those drafts..

Speak volumes,

In Silence,

To life… 

Treasures,

Of life,

Are hidden,

And..

--

My Two..

No year,

Passed by..

Like this..

When words,

Fell short..

And lips,

Shivered, But..

Will give away,

Whatever little..

Like always,

This year too.. 

Kneeling,

In prayer…

Hoping,

You Hear…

--

But How..

In my dark, one light shines bright,

Knowing you're fine makes everything right…

Call it strength to my tired soul,

Your presence, is what makes me whole…

Your calm gives strength when I'm feeling weak,

In your assurance, peace I seek..

When life feels heavy and out of line,

Your well-being is my sign…

A steady guide in a stormy weather,

Every piece, you fit together…

Indeed you are my strength,

On you, I know I'll always depend…

Wanted to tell you more,

All that I have in store…

She's eleven months old,

She's just as bold…

In her, trust me, I found you,

How I wish, you could see it too…

--

Know..

Once,

Just once..

Few words..

Heavy,

Inside am I..

If you..

--

All Around..

In wordless void, 

Your absence stings..

Silent echoes, 

Every moment brings…

My lips hushed, 

Emotions swirl..

In silence deep, 

That bond unfurls…

How in words,

Shall I explain..

Unless I tell you,

I am in vain… 

My words,

Scattered…

--

Permission..

May God,

Keep you..

In the hollow,

Of his hand.. 

My God,

Guide you through.. 

this mild,

And stormy land..

Just once,

For one wish..

Is all I wish,

But who to ask..

--

Loud, But Unheard..

In echoes of silence, 

memories twine..

Each moment lost, 

a tear in time…

Do you, too, 

feel the absence keen..

Of all we've shared, 

in moments serene…

Been two years,

That I wished you..

Now I wish,

Just to wish you..

And though I know,

I don't deserve…

--

A Song..

And strings,

That play..

In unison,

Was a dream..

Look how,

Apart today..

Do words,

Live in silence..

My piece,

Of peace..

Lost..

All those,

notes,

Haphazard..

--

Always..

In the noise, 

Someone softly asks..

"Are you happy?"

In the middle of 

Everything..

Wish they,

Could ask you..

Like before,

Wish they,

Could tell you..

Every day, 

They hope..

You feel good, 

And your smile,

Shines bright.. 

--

Five, Over..

Forgotten by time, 

Both my own and all..

Left alone, in shadows, 

I hide…

By everyone abandoned, 

Myself too..

Counting days, not months

I rue…

I had said thirty,

If at all I last…

Two have passed slow,

But hope it ends fast…

--

Might Snow..

In that silent landscape, 

memories flood my mind..

Longing for your presence, 

so tender and kind…

Your absence weighs heavy, 

like an anchor in the sea..

Each step I take, 

it's your face I wish to see…

Beside the flowing river, 

I whisper your name..

Hoping somehow, 

You'll hear me all the same…

I really want to say,

All that's in myself today..

Feeling so heavy and low,

Cold, that these eyes…

--

Remember..

In the hush,

Dawn's first light..

In whispers soft,

And depths of night..

When stars adorn,

The evening sky..

Woven you are,

In every plea and cry..

Every prayer, 

In every vow..

A presence lingers, 

Here and now..

And,

I do eternally..

--

Each Day..

In shadows deep, 

Where echoes cry..

Blind eyes seek light,

In this dismal sky..

Dreams shattered,

Scattered in the night..

Whispers lost,

In this silent flight..

--

Who You Are..

In her gaze, 

Reflections true..

Words echo, 

She looks like you…

Believe me, 

Each tender stare..

Mirrors you, 

Beyond compare…

And she,

Saw not once..

How I wish,

I could show…

--

Unending..

A bond, 

An embrace..

Years woven,

time can't erase..

Once twined, 

paths diverge..

Silence reigns,

In our echo..

Will we hear,

What time,

Has to say..

For just once..

Blinded,

I see things..

Like deaf,

I hear screams..

--

Twelve..

Years on;

Of that..

Day…

Of Life..

The medicine,

To my disease,

Is elsewhere..

Paralyzed,

For life;

Unheard,

To death.. Am I..
