My Fervent Admirer..!!

I am the mirror

Of my soul’s reflection

Enthralled by my esprit

Are thousands of men

Flocking my heart’s corridor

Desiring my company every hour

I am the enchantress

And their raison de’etre

Night and day

They pine for me

Their eyes knit those furtive dreams

Oblivion to self and unknowingly

They now belong to me

I am the black

And the white

End of the dark

Towards the light

I am the beauty behind the veil

Food for their famished soul

Controlling their every reverie

In this world of glitterati

I am the last flicker of flame

For their tainted self

I am an illusion

And I am real

There are no ground rules

There is no magic spell

There are no tricks

As I am The Dominatrix

I am who I am

The mirror of my soul’s reflection

The charmer

And my very own

Fervent Admirer



* Random lines. Randomness personified!

Show me the way..!!

Aimlessly, I walk around
Of myself, I make no sense
Wondering if things will improve
Or they will ever remain the same

Every heart has a dream

Every heart has an aspiration

But sometimes you need someone

To lead you on

Life offers a lot of complexities

And the beliefs, sometimes, shaken

Times like those

You need a shoulder to cry on

I walk, flustered

Life interrupted

Then, suddenly you come

And show me the way

At the end of a tunnel

I see a light

Here I was, dejected

But you showed me the way

Now I believe

That there is much more to life

Look at me

As I pick myself up again

Conviction is what you have

Conviction is what you now taught me

I had been failing

But you restored my belief

Here I was, sitting

And sulking

But your words cast a magic

And showed me the way

Even when we had a friction

You were clear that failing wasn’t an option

Now I realize

Every heart has a dream

Every heart has an aspiration

It is a matter of reaching out for them

And not being scared of living upto the expectations

PS: I have been hibernating for quite some time now! Just being lazy and the weather isn't helping much. I guess it takes time for acceptance that the holidays are long gone and it's time to wake up.. :-)

Happy New Year to all you guys. Hope you welcomed the year with lot of razzmatazz and may you create beautiful and promising memories as each day passes by! :-)

Free..!!

A thousand moments to cherish

A thousand dreams to fulfill

A thousand desires to yearn;

Amidst battling these feelings

Are life’s complex choices;

Still, truth be told

All I want

Is - Be

Free

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. - Nelson Mandela

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free. - Swami Vivekananda

Addicted to you..!!

Driving down the road

I smile to myself

With thoughts of you

Written all over

I remember

Our bouts of laughter

I remember

Those crazy talks

I irritate you the most

But you always seem unruffled

Having you around

Insanity is always on my mind

Now when I leave

With no hard feelings

I realize

What I would miss the most

I wonder

If you will also reminisce

The place we first met

Seeing each other, when heart skipped a beat

I still go there

Sit down on the same rock

Play our favorite song

Strumming the guitar

The cool breeze reminds me

Of your hair flying in air

The sound of water

Reminds me of your laughter

Something connects me to you

I would never know

But the time spent with you

Would be the time cherished for sure

I wonder why it happens

Sometimes, heart aspires for something

Which one shouldn’t desire

If it’s being crazy then so be it

I wish you well

I wish you all the happiness

And if you should know

Yes, I still am so very addicted to you

Forgotten..!!

There was a time

When I saw life here

When the birds chirped

When the flowers bloomed

When the kids played and circled around me

I gave shade to many a visitor
Some would take a nap
While others talked endlessly
The fruit of my branches
Filled those empty stomachs

I enjoyed their laughter
Heard their vows
I gave respite
From the scorching sun

But that was then
When I saw life here
Now there isn’t a leaf that moves
There isn’t the wind that heals

I wait here for that life
When I had it all
Before those slaughterers came by
And took it all away

I witnessed a lot of bloodshed
I saw terror in the eyes
Of innocent
As they were murdered
Ruthlessly

Those few who were left
Fled, to save their lives
Leaving me here
Waiting for life

Hoping they would come back
Again there would be life here
And a season of joy
Hoping I don’t remain deserted forever

Until then
I just wait
As I stand tall
My mood so somber
And state, forgotten
Oh! so forgotten

Beneath a starlit sky..!!

Beneath a starlit sky

First time our eyes met

And they blessed the moment

When we decided to tie the knot

Twinkling stars illuminate the vicinity
And the trees provide the cool breeze
Just the perfect gathering
At the night of our wedding

With the moon shining so bright
A veil on my face and dressed in white
I hold my father’s arm
And music plays in the background

Seeing me, all the guests stand
They greet me with a smile
As I walk down the aisle
With flowers in my hand

Our eyes meet somewhere in between
All I see is our small world, so serene
My father kisses me
And hands me to him

The priest pops the question to him
He says “Yes” without even thinking
“Would you, my dear” then asks the priest
And all I say is “I do”, sealed with a kiss

I am yours
And you are mine
Vows taken to be together
Beneath a starlit sky

Sweet Nothings..!!

Reminiscing…

The childhood days
Those carefree times
Brimming with mirth

Reminiscing…

The pillow fights
Throwing tantrums in fright
And then running out of sight

Reminiscing…

The singing and dancing
Counting stars in the night, giggling
The yelling and scolding

Reminiscing…

The splashing of water
Licking ice creams
While drenched in the rain

Reminiscing…

Playing pranks on friends
Grimacing to no end
Bunking classes for movie shows

Reminiscing…

Chasing butterflies
Sitting point blank
And staring at the sky
Hoping, wishing, praying

Reminiscing…

The pleasure and the pain
Of growing up
The joys and sorrows
Of the daily chores

Reminiscing…

All those moments
Which make life so exceptional
When God does the trick
And we call it “Magic”

Reminiscing…

Moments when you feel everything
But see nothing
Those “special somethings”
And “sweet nothings”

Life goes on..!!

Things would never be the same,

Time would never come back;

Let the bygones be bygones,

You would learn on your own.

It is a moment to live in,

It is a moment to enjoy the most;

It is only when the times change,

Is when we wish that everything remained the same.

Things never are the same,

Life has to always move on;

There would always be good moments,

To cherish and reckon with.

Nothing is more important in life,

Than the happiness of the near & dear ones;

It is only when we realize,

Those things would never ever be precise.

Things never would be the same,

It is a gift to enjoy;

What you have today,

As these moments would never come back again.

So, live in the moment,

As all that's there is the present;

Future is something we can't predict,

And past is always behind us.

Things would never be the same,

After all life is an endless journey;

The show must go on,

Irrespective of you are there or gone.

Life would teach you a lot of lessons,

Always have the courage to face them all;

It is not the end of road for ya,

But the beginning of a new era.

Lovers' Paradise..!!

Enchanting is your smile

Which weakens my heart

Everytime

Sizzling is your dance
Which leaves me
Craving for one more chance

Mesmerizing are your eyes
Which hide a million emotions
Inside of them

The journey of our love
Begins with you

As my quest for love
Ends at you

You are my destination
My life’s only mission
To hold you in my arms until eternity
Is my only necessity

The freshness in your voice
Soothes my palate
Your fragrance lingers on
Even long after you are gone

I wonder if you think the same
Understand, this is no fool’s game
Relationships survive on love and passion
With trust and faith as its foundation

All I can give you
Is an assurance
I will be yours forever
And with me, you will be secure

So, in lovers’ paradise
Do join me
Feel me
Complete me

The moment is now
To weave our own mystical dreams
And create everlasting
Memories

A smile..!!

A smile to God
For listening to our cheers and woes
A smile for my parents
For ever being so benevolent

A smile for my friends
For giving them my perpetual headaches
A smile for my family
For being always there for me

A smile for work
For at times it is indeed some good fun
A smile for colleagues
For being ever so receptive

A smile for teachers
For pushing us towards our goals
A smile for children
For making everyone feel like one

A smile for nature
For the beauty galore
A smile for music
For our terrible mood swings

A smile for dance
For simply rejuvenating
A smile for yummy food
For making our stomach so full

A smile for my car
For taking me everywhere
A smile for strangers
For the sake of a cheer

Last but not the least
A smile for me
For no reason absolutely

A dream to be..!!

I have a dream

To achieve

To believe

But still

Be ME

I have a dream
To create
To evolve
But still
Be ME

I have a dream
To rise
To shine
But still
Be Me

Yes,
I too have dreams
Dreams that make me smile
As there is nothing more beautiful
Than to live in my dream

So, here I sit
Uninterrupted
Just trying to

Dream the dream which is full of hope for a better tomorrow
Dream the dream which will teach me life’s simple pleasures
Dream the dream which is going to bring lots of laughter
Dream the dream in hope of making it a reality

A reality
Which is nothing but simply
Just to be ME
Till eternity

Fear of unknown..!!

The lush green forest is a temptation

To explore the unknown

And yet we walk on the trail

Already hiked before

There is a feeling
A feeling of being lonely
A feeling of walking the path
And have some strange encounters

A feeling of being lost
A feeling of facing the danger
A feeling to just be warned
It is times like these
When one yearns for a company

A company
To keep your mind occupied
A company
To make you feel secured

In times like these
A company
Of even foes turn into friends
As together they take on the task
Of walking the mighty jungle

It is this trust
That brings together
Even a cat and a dog
As they know
Nothing could do more harm
Than the fear of unknown

Unicorn in life..!!

There is a dream

A dream to live

A dream to feel

A dream to believe

Dream where you see
Life with beauty
Life so carefree
Life with no pain

There is a dream
A dream to be happy
A dream to succeed
A dream to be alive

Dream where you know
Sadness has no place
Miracles do happen
Wishes always come true

There is always a dream
And a hope to make it a reality
Unicorn is one such legend
Indeed a dream to reckon

So mystical and yet so alive
So fierce and yet so divine
A beauty so captivating
So pure and gentle at heart

Life needs a unicorn
Life demands a unicorn
Life becomes complete
With unicorn being a reality

For You, Dad..!!

I grew up holding your finger

I grew up sitting on your lap

I grew up playing frisbee with you

But still haven’t grown up enough to decide without you

You taught me to ride a bike
You taught me to be polite
You taught me to dream
You taught me to be myself

You didn’t hold me when I fell
Instead taught me how to rise
You didn’t scold me when I was wrong
Instead made me realize what I did

I may not always agree with what you say
I may not always like to be lectured
But I know what it means
To have you
To guide me
To believe in me

To take all my pranks in your stride

I don’t say I love you everyday
But in my heart it is always there
I don’t sit for long with you and talk
But in my heart I hear you always

It is your teachings, what I am today
Though I still have a long way to go
Before I become the one
You would be proud of

I have always known this
And often repeated it
"Dad, you are the best
And you have always left me inspired"

Now when Father’s day is around the corner
Just wanted to tell you how precious you are
To me
To us
And the whole family

A hope..!!

There is always a hope

A hope

To live life

Filled with happiness

A hope
To look upto God
And have the wishes come true

A hope
To have everyone around
For giving us that special something

A hope
To see the good things
When the bad takes us down

A hope
To be ourselves
And be accepted for that

A hope
To live the present
With zeal that would make the future shine

The break of dawn
Is a ray of hope
That there is always a new tomorrow
After a cloudy yesterday

A hope
That stays alive
Even when every feeling around has died

There is indeed always a hope
A hope
That sees us on the face
And smilingly says “if you hope
Maybe you might have it your way”

So, hope is that ray of the sun
That lightens the darkness spread around

Moment on moment and day on day

Chamber of torture..!!

Twinkling eyes
Dreaming and making their connection
Walking feet
Dancing on the highway to heaven

Fidgety fingers
Constantly hitting on the keyboard
Riveting thoughts
Compelling the mind to create magical words

Amidst all this
Is Me
Admiring
Wondering
And laughing

It is the devil in me
To cause havoc with laughter
I call it the “devil’s laughter”
In this chamber of torture

Torture because you laugh till it hurts
Tears trickle down the eyes
Stomach starts aching
Gasping for breath
Simply meaning
The uncontrollable bouts of laughter

I love being Me
At times
Or sometimes
Or maybe most of the times
Because I laugh
I make fun
I get hurt
I cry

Too many emotions
But just Me
The playful Me
To battle it out when
Life gets somber
Leaving me desolated
Yet determined
To somehow conquer
And get back my laughter

I am the creator
Of my Chamber of Torture
And to get me back in action
I laugh & laugh in introspection

Yeah, this is what happens
When you miss that laugh
If you love to laugh
Live to laugh
But then I wonder
Even too much laughter
Hurts
But this hurt is the most awaited
And very endurable

So I laugh
Because that is what I do best
Because they say
Laughter is the best medicine
And I let it heal
Soothe and
Exterminate the pain

So next time life becomes “the killer”
You are welcome aboard my "chamber of torture"
Ofcourse, without doubts, our laughtership will be a ROCKER

At times..!!

At times..
We go our own way
As we need our space to breathe

At times..
We have different opinions
As we disagree on something

At times..
We don’t like each other
As we get into those pointless discussions

At times..
We argue, fight and yell
As we both want to be heard

At times..
We hurt each other
As we speak our minds

But
At all other times..
We
Care,
Love,
And live
For each other
And that’s all what matters

Because
Committed, we are
Now and forever

Because
Committed, we are
To take the walk of life together

Holding each other
To be there
To live in that defining moment
When it is required the most

And all other times
Well,
We can choose
And we choose
To disagree
As if it didn’t matter
As if it wasn’t important
As if it was for entertainment
As we both know and agree
That most of the times
We indeed are two bodies and one soul

To different minds and one same thought
So, committed, yes we are

For your eyes only..!!

Beauty through my eyes

A smile for you
Oh! Water so green and the sky so blue
A smile for me
Aha! the view so serene

I stand here
At the shore
Enchanted by the divine beauty
And appreciating God’s creativity

I walk on the sand
Leaving my footprints behind
I play with my shadow
If only I could catch it, is all I wonder

I see the golden sun
At the horizon
The waves of the sea
Tickle my feet

I see the stars
Twinkling afar
It is time for the sunset
And for moon to rise again

Far across the distance
I see us
Dancing with the waves of the sea
Playing with the rays of the sun
Also, giving us company
Is the moon in the sky
Spreading it’s pristine light

I sit here
Strumming my guitar
Singing my favorite song
Because this is where we belong
Things that make us happier
And the breath taking backdrop
Couldn’t have been prettier

With this image hovering
I am only left wondering
Isn’t this the beauty
Truly for your eyes only
The vastness of nature - How immaculate and pure
The abundance of joy – How perfect and demure..!!

Sometimes..!!

Sometimes just being there in the moment
Is more than enough

Sometimes just saying you care
Is more than enough

Sometimes trusting me for being yours
Feels more than enough

Sometimes having faith
Means more than enough

Sometimes dancing with you
Is more than enough

Sometimes just talking to you
Means more than enough

Sometimes just being you
Feels more than enough

Sometimes thinking of you
Is more than enough

But sometimes nothing at all seems enough
Sometimes I might hurt unknowingly
But to feel left out kills me

It is in those times
There is silence even in the hustle and bustle
And delirium all around me

After all, sometimes just being loved
Is all one needs
But sometimes even the love
Doesn’t seem enough

How funny is that..!!

I love watching movies,
But ask me to write a story;
And it would all be failed attempts,
How funny is that?

I love dancing,
But ask me to try my hands on choreography;
And I would be looking around for dance steps,
How funny is that?

I laugh aloud for nothing,
But ask me to write something funny;
And the best i would do is just thinking,
How funny is that?

Some songs sweep me off my feet,
But ask me to sing them as a treat;
And it turns out a nightmare,
How funny is that?

My favorite pastime is reading books,
But ask me to write one;
And I would struggle to choose a topic for days,
How funny is that?

My best thoughts come out through writing,
But ask me to sit & write;
And I will go point blank,
How funny is that?

I am not an actor by profession,
But ask me what I want to be;
And quickly I respond - a doctor, engineer, lawyer, philosopher, painter - all in one lifetime,
How funny is that?

I love traveling,
But ask me to write a travelogue;
And I would miss out the major points,
How funny is that?

Is this what one calls,
Jack of all trades & master of none;
But an honest confession, I am happy what I am,
It doesn’t matter however funny is that
