Neglected

Lying neglected in the closet so deep

I knew my day would come soon

when I get to shine in the bright sunlight

when I get to smell the fresh air 

I knew you would come to me 

I lie in a corner of your heart 

Not significant now

I too was once momentous

Years ago when you got me first

There was no dear and near

Whose hands escaped me

And yes, you kissed me

So many photos clicked 

Of us together

Flooding across the social media

It must be coming back to you frequently

Now you remember me

Desperately Shuffling through the shelf

One look at me, and you despair

Oh how I changed through the years

No worries now

I'm here and you are near

We will make it together

This bond shall last forever. 

Expectations

Its a slippery edge up there

When you are on cloud nine
One little twist
And off you fall
From the sky to deep down below

They give you wings

You perch on the highest twig

In a blow

the twig breaks

and off you are on the ground

The delicate piece

of crystal glass

Enigma of beauty when held high

One twist of hand

and next moment its shattered to pieces

Such are expectations!!

As high as the cloud nine

The joy of the highest branch

The beauty of the crystal glass

Such are expectations!!
Slippery as the edge
Risky as the delicate twig
And painful as the broken glass

Expect as long as you can fulfill.
Don't let them weigh you down!
Dream big, expect small!

When you call!

Light off and light on,
goes my screen repeatedly
Anxiously waiting
for your call
Eyes glued to the screen,
waiting for your response

It brightens up

when you call

Makes funny sounds

and displays your pic

It dances to its tune

Shaking my whole bed

The two ends of
the long black wire
Make sure to get entangled
It is a struggle to set them free
As the screen lights up
when you call

It brightens up

when you call

There is a huge curve

from my one ear to the other

Eyes gleaming with joy

seeing your name on the display

I make my way out
to the terrace
So I can speak up my mind
Laugh to the fullest
And blush and smile
as I like

And when there is goodbye

My screen becomes black again

But the curve on my face

becomes even wider

And eyes await and check the screen

to receive the next call you make!

The cold winds of winter evening

Swish and whoosh!

Swish and whoosh!!

Went the winds in the street!

Creek and creek!

Creek, creeky, creek!!

My rusty window to and fro!

Brrrrr....stretching my jacket from all ends

to bring it together,

Hoping to block every single speck of air

From bringing me shivers!

The story of every cold winter night

Dark empty streets,

Ghostly silence of the nature

Dipping temperatures.

A warm cup of coffee

Brings warmth to the core,

A cosy blanket

A must for a good night sleep

A sturdy jacket

To keep the cold away,

A wooly fur cap

That saves my ears from freezing

To beat the darkness of mind and heart

Empty souls and lonely hearts,

A bear hug filled with love

Is all you need to beat the winter blues!

Nostalgia

It's great to be back
It's wonderful to be reminded
Of all the beautiful moments
Lived at this very place

A smile climbs up
Or the curve is downside
There maybe a small sigh
Or the feeling unknown

The warmth of the time
Of the friends and family
The feeling of belonging
The feeling of happiness

The moment stops

Its all once again

Right in front of our eyes

To relish and to cherish

Its like a rewind button

Playing our own life

In a slow motion

In front of our eyes

Our heart wants

The moment to pause

It's all there right in front

But its not

Lets re-live the moments

The smiles and the joys

Let us rejoice the memories

And keep them stored forever

In our minds as NOSTALGIA!

Destiny

You sway me hither

You sway me thither

Like a toy in your hands

You play

I rise with determination

You challenge my will

I fight the challenges

You throw in temptations

I juggle decisions

You make me change my path

I bend, I dive

You lay my path with thorns

I bow down to you

So mighty you are

My all due respect

So powerful you are

But will never give up

Will follow my path

Never be submissive

Never surrender my will

I will rise again

Will summon all my courage

To fly, jump high

Or to bend or dive

Let there be thorns

Let there be hurdles

Fighting all decisions

Fighting all temptations

I will stand tall

And make sure, at every step

You my destiny

Stand next to me.

Beauty

Lines so fine, like a decorative border
Crowning the center of attraction
Of which the color so deep
Still storing all the light

A depression placed perfectly
Like a crown to the curves

And lights up the space

when they curve up towards the sky

The lines running parallel

Storehouse of experience and wisdom

Settled calmly on the top

Glorifying the overall arena

The silver lining, 

like snow on mountain peaks

Highlighting the beauty

Like a crowned accessory

Oh what a Beauty!!

"You don't look 70!!"
