Life and Death

Life, oh the beautiful life
begins with smile
on the lips of the sweet baby
who accepts the world
with innocent ignorance
of future much awaited

As a child, we take first step
on this bridge between life and death
With no expectation,
we make sweet and bitter mistakes

Learning is our main goal
Curiousity to explore
leads us to unravel
the truth of life
which is actually lie

People enter and disappear
into our life like chapters
in this story of life
Some support
And some betray
but the true test comes
when death arrives

We learn to love,
We learn to hate
We learn to forgive,
We learn to detest
But in the end
we forget the essence
that was with us
during our first day
of our life

Death is inevitable
It can be soft and subtle
Or hard and rough
As we are nearing the end of the bridge,
we look back
at the journey behind
with hope and regrets
of leaving dear ones behind.

Sweet Symphony

When she smiled,
it lit his heart
When she cried,
it tore his soul apart
Her temper was like
thunder striking out from clouds
The serene water in the river
reminded him of her calm nature

She sat on the bench
at the Northern Hill Park
Her mood was like
the grey clouds
waiting to burst any moment
the heavenly showers

He knelt down in his knees,
and asked her
, "My Love, What's wrong?"
She looked at him
with teary eyes.
" I can't be with you anymore.",she said

The colour of his face
changed from hope to loss
"Why? Am I not good for you?", he asked
She didn't meet his eyes now
" It's me. I don't deserve you",she replied

He stared at her
and smiled instantly
He sang to her
the symphony

" You are the air I breathe
You are the light of hope
in my life that is like dark dungeon
You are other half of my soul
without which I am nothing
You make everything seem easier
when life is tough on me.
You are beautiful inside and out."

At last the rainbow came out
in its seven colours
She smiled though tears never stopped
Belief was once again instilled
And the negative thoughts disappeared
Like the grey clouds that were slowly vanishing
Her love for him enhanced
Thanks to his sweet symphony
that saved him from losing his love

Friends Forever

Small promises
Large commitments
of being together
and never letting go,
we made as children

Tight hugs melting hearts
Sharing dark secrets
at rainy midnights
Laughing carelessly
At our silly actions and reactions

Fighting for no reasons
and making up within few seconds
strengthened our bonds as friends forever

We were like  soul sisters/ brothers
healing our broken hearts
and supporting each other
during stormy times

When light of hope was blown away
by the winds of distraught and sorrow
You, my friend stood with me always
Like pillar of my strength and courage

Let the arrows of misunderstanding
come between us
Let the distance tear us apart
Let The Lord test our friendship
with problems and difficulties
I , my friend ,will never forget
that we are friends forever
