To Appa - with love

I happened to come across a hoarding the other day which said-  "The most influential people in your life, stay the shortest in your life" - and the moment just froze for few seconds, how true !!!! these are angels who slowly enter your life and by the time you have realized, they would have commanded your hearts respectfully.

One such lovely being, came into my life and remoulded my entire existence into what i am supposed to be now.He came, conquered and swept away all my shortcomings leaving the sweetest moments ever...which i live with today...this poem is the most simple expression of all that he was to me, cant express in one single poem...

One such night

When the moon was bright

I missed you

To the core of my heart.

You always said,

“I am not the reason

For us to be apart

But when u do miss me

Look at the sky

The glowing moon

Will always gaze

Over you like me”.

I always wondered

Would the moon share

the same warmth

you gave me?

Wipe all my fears and tears

With a mere gaze ?

Guide me when I falter ?

Reveal me the mysteries

Of the world ?

Could it make me

Sit on its lap

Just like the

Way you used to ?

Share all

My pains and sufferings

while making us smile?

Nothing and no one

Can replace you

Other then you and

The only YOU.

The Wait..

Often we wait for something or the other in life, some we successfully surpass and some just unending... some waits are peaceful and some painful..But the process of waiting itself teaches us a lot of patience..so here are my words for such a wait which was both peaceful and painful.

I waited for u long,

With a breath taking silent song,               

But couldn’t see u far far away,

In a long lonely way.

The faith what I had,

Seems like fading eon’s away..

No hope to live without thee,

In this ruthless world to see

Lonely on this road,

I still hold my breath.

Waiting for the dawn

Of my life now.

Hope to see you

One last time on the pyre

Watching my frail, worn away

frame turn to ash forever.

Journey of a flower

So here's to start with, a poem which is an attempt to describe a girl's life with the help of a flower.I don't know how this sounds, but i just saw a beautiful example portrayed in the nature and thought it needs to be penned down.

 Journey of a flower 

A sweet little bud,

knows not to bloom,

comes in this world,

with quite a boom.

The world which appears free,

was not so as it appears to be;

many bees caught it's eyes,

which seemed to be nice.

With lots of difficulty,

it bloomed out in a frenzy;

seeing this blooming beauty,

the bees couldn't leave their duty.

With an attractive gait,

it sucked the honey;

the most beautiful scene,

seen forever in this whole journey.

The flower was happy and fresh,

as she was blessed;

her work for this journey got over;

with a new look,

she came again ! and again !

About Emoticons...

courtesy: cute-babies.blogspot.com

Emoticons is all about the day to day emotions we go through and express. Be it love, hatred, jealousy, anger, smile, laughter, tears, anxiety, guilt etc.If u see life is actually nothing but a cycle of all these expressions, without expressions there is no life. Such a person is called dead.
So emoticons is my small effort to bring forth all my expressions, in short, my life in a nut shell.
This i will put forth in the form of poems or articles or any such medium which expresses emotions in a certain phase of my life.
I thank all those beautiful angels who have met me at some point of my life, without whom all these emotions would have never existed.
