My Love .. Happy Birthday

I love you
From our adventures and trips
To those dances with hips

I love you
From teasing to laughter
To those sweet mischiefs right after

I love you
From movies in soft cotton
To those memories forgotten

I love you
From walks in the park
To those talks in the dark

I love you
From morning to night
To those scents of delight

I love you
From the depths of my heart
To those birthdays that start

I can say over and over again
Without prompting, without cue
You mean the world to me, my love
A very Happy Birthday to you :)

Friend in need is a friend indeed .. Oh really ??

As the sunlight slowly faded away
The city lights flickered on, one by one
Illuminating everything on the outside
And casting a shadow on the inside

As time slowly ticked past
The darkness inched closer and closer
Spreading its shadows across the land
My inner self comes alive

As much as I struggle and curl underneath the blanket
My fears come alive, and slowly engulf me from the inside
And tear up the mask that I so successfully put on during the day

Surrounded by many
Yet isolated and alone
I try to reach out to people
But succeed in grasping just empty air

Struggling to keep my sanity
I plunge myself into darkness
For its the only place to hide
To cope with all this
I give up and cry myself to sleep

It’s tiresome to want something you don’t have, and each morning
I wake with loneliness by my side, each day I walk with it’s presence
In my footsteps, each night it lies hand in hand with my insomnia

Perhaps I have become invisible !
Or have I become just an figment of imagination ?
They cried on my shoulders and I soaked up their tears
Asking for nothing in return, but when I needed someone
Where did they all go ?

Something creepy ...

Hate, anger, frustration
How does one survive ?
Confusion, distraught, depression
Why even be alive ?

Screaming, running, sobbing
Everyone is swarming
Yelling, crying, dying
Does someone really care ?

I sit alone now, all by
Myself with no one else
They've all left again for good
And I am once again alone

I only have friends when
They need a place to hide
Does that make them love me ?
"My basement's always open. . ."

I sit alone again and cry
For the friends I wish I had
But will never see
All I get are words, in threes

They speak to me softly
Worry in their faces
Do they care ? Or is
Their worry worthless ?

It hurts at the end
As we all know, but
After that we don't
Know how to go

But do we know
Where people go
After their loneliness
Has got to them

Why stay here where it's sad
When you can die happy
No longer alone
No longer afraid

A Birthday Gift from "HER" to "HIM"

It's a wonderful feeling
To have a boyfriend like you
So sensitive to the female ear
Yet so in tuned to the masculine one

I love you so much
I can't even explain
I can feel the touch
Of you in a picture frame

Because you mean so much to me
I celebrate your birth
Sharing time and space with you
Rings my bell for all it’s worth

Whenever your birthday rolls around
I contemplate once more
How happy I am that you were born
The thought makes my heart soar
I wish your birthdays happened more

It's all I could afford
I'm not maid of money
This is your reward
Because you are my honey

Dreams Unlimited !

My thoughts of you come frequently
They’re always filled with you and me

No matter what I see or when
It brings you back to mind again

I’d be sitting, reading a book
Or be out walking by a brook

No matter which path I took
I’d see dream images of how you look

Each day is filled with dreams of you
I hope that all these dreams come true

Still Single ?? Till when ??

Orange and Pink shoot across the sky

I can see it from where I lie

The sun is setting, going to sleep

The dark surrounds, like the ocean deep

The stars come, twinkling lights

Glittering diamonds, What a sight !

I lie in the grass and up I stare

My body goes numb as I forget all my cares

I like to gaze up at the stars,

So I can forget my cares and all my scars

I have no one to look after me

The real me is someone no one can see

So I'll wait till I find that sort of love

And until then it's just me and the stars above :)

A Wish in Chilly Winters ...

Its getting cold and I'm getting lonely

Wishing someone would sit down and hold me

Next to his chest in his arms

Our body heats the only thing keeping up warm

In his car on a Friday night

Nothing but trees by the moonlight

Well, maybe I’ll stay here forever

In my dreams forever

Wishing we could be here together

Just me and you

Just me and you

Wedding of Dreams

It will be a day to be remembered !

A day of feasting, of joy

And Celebration

And all because

Of two lovers

Wishing to spend their lives together

The fairie King and Queen

Shall deck out in their diamonds

And crowns of gold

Shall stand by the altar

While their entourage watched

The grandest display ever seen

And then will come the bride and the groom

Their love making flowers bloom

They'd promise to love and be loyal to each other

Come what may, today, tomorrow and forever

But before they begin the next chapter

Of their lives

They will be told

That if forever

They kept their marriage promises

They'd live happily ever after

Hoping against the hope ... Post the Ayodhya Verdict

In the innocent eyes of a child

Enthusiasm that’s romantic and wild

In the honest writer’s pen

Virtues that never ever bend

In the hearts of brave soldiers

Our nation’s security who shoulder

In love, faith and courage

Envelops our lovely lineage

In leading mankind towards the path of peace

Let’s light a candle to live and let live all in ease

What an Engineer, Engineers ...

Engineer woh hai

jo aksar phasta hai

Interviews ke sawaal mein

Badi companiyon ke jaal mein

Boss aur client ke bawaal mein

Engineer woh hai

jo pak gaya hai

Meetings ki jhelai mein

Submissions ki gehraai mein

Teamwork ki chataai mein

Engineer woh hai

jo laga rehta hai

Schedule ko failane mein

Targets ko khiskaane mein

Roz naye-naye bahaane banane mein

Engineer woh hai

jo lunch time mein Breakfast karta hai

Dinner time mein Lunch karta hain aur

Commutation ke waqt soya karta hai

Engineer woh hai

jo paagal hai

Chai aur samose ke pyaar mein

Cigarette ke khumaar mein

Birdwatching ke vichaar mein

Engineer woh hai

jo khoya hai

Reminders ke jawaab mein

Na milne waale hisaab mein

Behtar Bhavishya ke khwaab mein

Engineer woh hai

jise intezaar hai

Weekend nights par dhoom machaane ka

Boss ke chutti par jaane ka

Increment ki khabar aane ka

Engineer woh hai

jo sochta hai

Kaash padhaai par dhyaan diya hota

Kaash teacher se panga na liya hota

Kaash ishq na kiya hota....

Kaash....

Happy Engineers' Day :)

Parting time ... Hasta - La - Vista :)

So ... you're leaving

We're sad to see you go

Whenever you feel officesick

We're always here you know

Don't forget to keep in touch

By post, letter or phone

Your loss will be greatly felt

But we won't over-exaggerate

And say our hearts will melt :P

Goodbyes are not forever

Goodbyes are not the end

They simple mean "We'll miss you"

"Until we meet again"

Still ... It's really hard to say goodbye

To such a friend and pal

With tears in eyes and lump in throat

Adios ! Au revoir ! Farewell !

--- Dedicated to Pompi

Pangs of distance ...

Even if it takes forever to see

What happiness really means to me

I understand love will always be

in perfect harmony

between you and me

One day you will come to know

that no matter how far we may go

the joys and sorrows that we share

are just like the touch of your hair

which is full of tender care

Yet I can only say

this love for you will never decay

I love you every single day

and in every single way

And it pains me to see you fading away

A Kiss in the Rain ...

Stepping out of the car and into the street

Hearing the rain hit softly, like the patter of little feet

Such a magical time, like sunset on the ocean

Caught in it's spell, moving in slow motion

He moves in close, with his hands on her waist

Taking it slow, no rush, no haste

The rain slowly falls and the full moon shines

She slides her arms around his neck ... and says "You're Mine"

The rain picks up and soaks their hair

But their eyes focused, they have no care

He whispers to her ... "I Love You My Dear"

"You'll always be smiling, You have no use for tears"

"I'll love you forever, is my vow to you"

"You're my heavenly love, and it's always true"

She smiles at him, with joy and bliss

His lips meet hers ... And in the rain ... They KISS

The rain itself, dances all around

As sweet hearts kiss, without a sound

The rain glides through the air and they hold tight

It's like the angels are crying, such a beautiful sight

As the rain falls down, they can't believe

That they need to move, to think, to breathe

They step back and look into each others' eyes

She tells ... She loves him and his heart just flies

If you believe perfection simply isn't real

Kiss your love in rain, and I swear you'll feel

Many things in the world can wash away pain

But none can compare, to kiss in the rain ...

World's Best Place .... His Arms ...

Within his arms, his strength lies

This is what I see through my eyes

Within his arms there's warmth of love

As soft as a white winged dove

Within his arms there's a sweet embrace

When I look up, I see a smile on his face

Within his arms there's security

I feel so secure, with purity

Within his arms, I feel safe and sound

Against his chest, I hear his heart pound

Within his arms, I can't go wrong

Within his arms, is where I belong ...

In thoughts ... All the time

Drinking an early coffee

As I so often do

I find my mind wandering, thinking

Longing thoughts of you

I go about my day doing

All the usual things

But you're always there

Forever creeping in

When the night arrives and ...

It's time to hit the bed

Even in my sleep

You're all the while in my head

Dreaming all night long

Sweet and loving thoughts

Daylight comes again ...

.

.

.

Once more ....

I can daydream as before !!!

1/2 + .... = .......... How Much Other Half Matters ...

Appear whole on the outside

But so broken within

There's a piece missing

The other half, the voice of reason

Try to clap but only one hand

Try to run but on one leg, dare not stand

Eyes open but can hardly see

'Cause the other half isn't next to me

Reach out at nights but no one to hold

Touch other side of bed and it feels so cold

Sit down to a meal but can barely eat

'Cause the purpose of sharing has faced defeat

But have faith that one day complete I'll be

'Cause the other half is out searching for me

If only for a moment I can get him next to me

I'll make sure my other half fits me perfectly ...

Futile --> Frustrate --> Sublime ...

A silent ebony night

still no fear, no fright

Of course I'm not alone

There's someone known

They are the tiny drops from the sky

So pure: none can deny

They quitely listen to all that I say

then, touch the earth or vanish in a bay

I love to walk in the rain

cause no one can feel my pain

No one can see me cry

cause tears blend with them and finally die

I have zillions of such companions

but still alone in the battalion

Fighting against fear and lonliness,

And fatigue of the ruthless passiveness

Will any one even come to ask ?

To remove this fake cheerful mask

Or these descended fays are the only one

to support me in this lonely run

Still my life leaves a question

will anyone come to heal this repurcussion ?

or I'll become like the drops from the sky

and mix with the earth and finally die

Lonely, Lonely, Lonely forever . . .

Missing Blues ...

Spoken words alone cannot express

The love I have for you

The written art of love is what convinces

Me, that you are the one for me

As I gaze into your eyes

With every moment of your listless ways

The grasping of your hand

The warmth of your heart

You make me feel like no other

Once I believed ... Love was only a fable

Configured in mind, planted by others

Then there came you

Like a flower in bloom ... WOW ... What a dream come true !!!

There are times ... you make me happy

There are also times ... you turn me blue

But what is even worse is ... When ...

I don't get to see you ...

AweSome + TwoSome --> WholeSome ...

A Special World for you and me

A Special Bond one cannot see

It wraps us, up in its cocoon

And holds us warmly in its womb :)

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold

Gently nestling us to the fold

Like silken thread it holds us fast

Bonds like this are meant to last :)

And though at time a thread may break

A new one forms in its wake

To bind us closer and keep us strong

In a Special World, where we belong :)

The Being of Being is Being

The being of being is Being

The being of nothing is none

And if you find this so much nonsense

At least it will do you no harm

Now nothing is nothing, for certain

And something is something, for sure

Since something cannot come from nothing

It must be eternally there

And though it is hard to imagine

Since time is our air and our sea

No thing will ever be nothing

Though we will not always be we ...
