Heart's Whisper

Our rendezvous, I reckon, was fortuitous
An accident, a mere chance..
But, to me
It was entrancing, divine..
Bestowing upon me,
Hope, a whole new dream,
Reinvigorating me
Bringing back to me, my long lost smile..
 
What I mean to you, is oblivious to me,
Its something my heart craves to know..
 
I wish.. a zillion things..
Have a zillion dreams,
Dreams which were unveiled by you..
Ones which would, without you, remain mere dreams..
Ones that seemed a void until..
You came along,
 Mon amour!
 
 
 
Here I lay alone tonight
Once again dreaming of all the sublime things..
Yearning your touch,
Yours arms around me,
Holding me close to you,
Rustling countless whispers into my ears..
Hankering a tender kiss,
To endlessly gaze into your eyes,
As the moon and the stars
Watch us magically unite..
Longing to fall asleep each night
Lulled by the beat of your heart…
Your breath, breathing life into me each dawn..
Will it all come true??
Or
Will it remain a mere dream??..
Is what’s not know to me yet..
But..
Je vous aime, mon amour
Et
Sera amour vous jusqu’à la fin des temps…

Niche

My little nest, my niche, my very own comfortable space..
 
A gypsy is what I used to be,
Dawdling along all these years,
Merely dancing to the tunes life played for me..
Jaded and fatigued, were what I often felt,
But perseverance seems to be innate,
An eternal prayer on my lip,
A yearning for ‘that’, what was oblivious then,
Pushed me forward to dance again,
Merely dance to the tunes life played for me..
 
Though a gypsy, still a girl,
‘Fairytale wishes’ and ‘happily ever after’,
Were constants I always dreamt of..
Awakened by reality, I would move on,
Donning my costume and a smile..
Letting my mind linger the dream,
A wish I thought only Genie could grant..!!
 
Little did I know, Genie’s and lamps prevail..
Until the moment my eyes met yours..
Little did I know, “love and security” were my yearn..
Until, you put your arms around me and whispered “I love you”..
Little did I know, Angels exist..
Until, you held my hand and pulled me though my turmoils..
Little did I know, Heavens exist..
Until, I found my little nest, my niche,
My very own comfortable space – in your arms,
Where I would merrily dwell, building our little castle,
Making our ‘fairytale wishes’ and ‘happily ever after’ come alive…

Bubble

Drifting in my own sweet 
bubble all these years, thinking 
everything is crystal clear, as 
clear as the view from within.. 
all of a sudden, it seemed 
pellucid, tried figuring out what 
was going wrong.. gave every 
detail a lot of thought, but I 
was inordinately disappointed.. 
Tried letting go, tired not 
thinking too hard.. One 
morning, startled, I find my 
feet sensing the rugged earth.. 
woke up into an entirely 
unfamiliar phase, one filled 
with bitterness and negativity, 
seemed like a whole new 
puzzle to me.. What I feel right 
now is a mélange of emotions - 
mystified, taken aback, 
strange, claustrophobic, 
vulnerable, chilled to the bone.. 
Reality finally dawned upon 
me, realised that the pellucid 
bubble was a sign, a warning.. 
My sweet bubble had 
disappeared, again signalling 
me to go ahead, whispering to 
me that it has made me strong, 
pushing me to face the reality 
as time has come for me to put 
together the zillion lessons and 
fly high on my own... I know its 
going to be tough, but I know 
I'll shine.. Thank you Bubble..

Indigo

Wanted, yet so aloof
Loved, yet so lonely..
Always wondered,
Am I really loved? Am I really wanted?
Answers to which have been always muddled..
Crazy little dreams and surges of fantasy
Make me wonder if I really belong?
Is this what is right or is this wrong?
Are questions my mind keeps pondering on..
 
Is this world for real or just ostentation?
Is a constant my mind keeps stumbling upon..
Are relationships unfeigned, and friendships heartfelt?
Are questions that occur, each time I connect..
Love, trust, humility and care
Are they factual or mere words for a tête-à-tête?
 
If it’s a journey, what is my purpose?
If I’m a carrier, what is my message?
Answers to these questions are not what I often find,
Instead
“Confused, arrogant, strange, resilient”
Are a few tags I often get..!

Loving Stranger

‘Loving stranger’ is what I’d like to call you
Cuz.. your dawn in me is oblivious
What’s going through me..
Cannot be explained,
All I can tell you is
It ushers a smile,
A twinkle in my eyes,
Ceases time..
Is this what’s called magic?
Are you who’s called an angel?
Are you my light in darkness?
You sure do seem to be..
 
Dreams they say are tomorrow’s realities,
Something I dint believe in,
Until you came along..
“I’d love to hold your hand and look into your eyes”
Were the words you whispered to me,
Little did you know I felt the same,
Little did you know what it meant to me!
 
Loving stranger.. Oh.. Loving stranger..
With you I can dance,
Into the night,
Night after night,
To the rhythm of life,
Life after life..

Still

Been a while now, quite some time now
Since, you made your grand entrée
Times have changed, seasons have passed
But,
Memoirs still fragrant and fresh
Fresh like the morning dewdrops
And fragrant like the rain..
 
Rain or shine, Sunrise or sunset
You have stood tall, so tall and strong
To make sure I never fall,
For..
In you I find my strength
In you I find joy
In you I find solace..!
 
Magic – a mere word
I thought it was,
And it was until you came along..
Cuz,
The look in your eyes
The honesty in your smile,
Still makes me go around, my heart skips a beat
And it sweeps me off my feet..
Even though,
Times have changed, seasons have passed
Still makes me go around, my heart skips a beat
And it sweeps me off my feet..!
 
I dance like a child..
Daydream and giggle like one
Each time I think of you..
Even though,
It’s been a while now, quite sometime now,
And,
You still make me go around, make my heart skip a beat
And sweep me off my feet..

Race

It’s all about you..!
 
Life, I savvy is a race.. a race that’s oblivious of man’s emotions..
One that blind’s folks, instill’s envy, loathe, malevolence..
A charismatic force that has trounced humanity..
A race that’s voodooed mankind into varmints..
A vicious circle that man seems infatuated with..
 
But…
 
What puzzles me are the words..
“Individuality, Identity, Self”
Are they mere words for a tête-à-tête???
They seem like the words long forgotten..
They seem like a veil, a camouflage..
Or
Are they a vouge, a make - believe???
 
If only…
Man would realise, the race is not about
…
It’s all about you..!

See Me Through

Hold my hands and see me through
I realize, its you who I miss too much..
Hold my hands and see me through
I really wish you would dot hat too..!
 
Remember the days, when I was a little baby,
When I would fear and you would lend me your little finger..
Remember the days, when I was a little girl,
When I was restless and you would sing me to sleep..
Remember the days, when you were my world,
When watching you laugh would steer my giggles..
Remember the days when I would be so carefree,
Would do as I please and say“my hero’s” will rescue me..!
 
These are days I cannot forget,
Memories of which are etched deeply within,
But.. 
Are these memories for keeps or one’s to forget??
Are the feelings attached to it ‘acceptance’ or ‘regret’??
A thing I’d like to know forever and for always
Cuz,
The hurt inside is killing me from within!
 
Hold my hands and see me through
Is all I could ask, request of you..
Cuz..
I realize, its you who I miss,much too much too..
Hold my hands and see me through
Cuz..
I really wish you would do that too..!
