Forgotten:

Do you know how it feels, to be a ragged doll?
once bathe in splendour; now it's dust - that's all !!!

Pretty black eyes that sparkled in awe,
at each and everything she saw....

Now she lay's in the corner of a hall.
with no one to remember, no one to call...

Forgotten she is as time drifts by-
not once they stopped each "passer by"!!

A gleam of light plays with her hair,
that once attracted many a roving stare.

Those pretty pink lips, that once had sung,
Heart warming songs, to which strangers clung.

All she is now is a distant memory,
"her legend of a smile" a beautiful set of ivory.

Forgotten she is, forgotten she will be...
until by chance a passer by does indeed see;

Under the coat of dust, lies an unfortunate soul there,
that time forgot, and hate made bare.

Till then in the shadows she will lie,
with people just blindly crossing her by.

Forgotten she is, forgotten that's what they say!
but in her heart she awaits, the dawn of a new day!!!

life

Everyday brings with it a new beginning,
Every cloud a silver lining,
Time flies by but it never changes,
History repeats itself all over again,
Therefore in this cycle of life,
When one leaves the stage another arises,
A cycle that goes on without end,
Everyday never changing,
Making accommodation for things new,
Thus the old fade like morning dew,
The ying and yang they say,
One cannot stay without the other,
Energy is neither destroyed nor lost,
Cause the world has one cause:
To revolve in one big circle called
“LIFE”

My shell..

I remember just yesterday,
I sat in the corner of the hall,
watching the dancers,watching all,
listening to the romantic music as if in a trance,
wondering when, oh when, it wud be my chance!
I remember feeling so alone and so lost,
as if for love I'd bear any cost...
Always the music stayed in my heart..
always thinking it wud never part.
praying earnestly for someone to love me dear...
being alone left alone that was my fear.
and then when I did fall in love,
the music just slipped away.
l forgot to sing , I forgot to pray,
today as I sit alone here in my bed,
I am confronted by the same loneliness I once dread
and all of a sudden the music just flows...
into this heart which is set aglow...
now I realise that I am happier this way...
alone in my shell thts where I will always stay....

An ode to a great man:

stick in hand he walked,
but he was not bent with age,
there was authority when he talked,
the whole world was his stage,
I never knew him on the battlefield,
I was a baby then,
I only met him when, in college he was my LG and my friend,
2 meetings was all it took for me to fall in love,
with this mighty guardian whom GOD sent from above.
though all alone he stayed,he had not the slightest care.
the person who was brave enough 2 challenge deaths ugly stare.
6 times the operating lights he faced,
6 times emerged unscathed beaming wit grace,
still inspiring and full of life,
alas death has finally claimed her prize,
and though my heart is broken thus,
to lose a hero soo robust,
I will always remember thee,
ever smiling,sparkling eyes full of glee!!

Your Eye's...

Your eyes on me! Yeah! That's what I see..
It was way back when we were kids, that you fell  in love wit me;
I was dancing away with my girlfriend,
the music just seemed, to never end..
and then I saw you sitting on the stair
My eyes locked on to yours- your wanting stare..

guess you don't remember that day now ..
So let me rewind for you somehow..
Dancing in my bright blue top..
I made, I made your heart stop...
But we never knew then that love was knocking on our door.
the night, the night I was dancing on the dance floor

A few years from then together we are,
Dancing again under the bright star..
You took my hand n led me to the floor...
I had no clue. No clue what you had in store..
My hand in yours, my head on your chest..
I guess that night was, it was the best!
when I looked up I saw- your eyes on me

yes those brown eyes on me
that's what I still and forever will see..
your eyes on me

"When no ones there"

When there is no one there,
that's when I will find You near.
making my burden lesser to bear,
onto the right path You, me steer.
when the night seems the darkest,
and silently I cry all alone;
that's when You shine Your star the brightest'
and Your spirit to me you lone...
Like a dove descending from heaven,
Your spirit comes with his gifts- all seven.
and my will is set afresh,
to escape this tangled mesh..
God, in my heart you take Your rightful place,
the dark shadows away do you chase.....

"Unmoved by a tear"

What‘s the use of crying,

When the world is unmoved by a tear?

Each spirit is dying,

But it isn’t a cause of fear!

Hard, stoned, unmoved people,

Walking about; stepping up to the tune of cheer;

While the silent- stay weeping,

In their hands a cold chilled beer.

Drowning their sorrows, their worries;

Thinking of those who are dear;

Contemplating how next to proceed,

Their life is just filled with fear;

But what‘s the use of crying,

When the world is unmoved by a tear?

Each spirit is dying,

But it isn’t a cause of fear!
