Let me be 'ME'

( this is an 7 year old poem i found in one of my old books)

Let me be a small bird

to fly to you with all cheer

whisper a love song in your ear

shall settle merrily on your arm



let me be that cool breeze;

bringing relief from lonely heat,

let me embrace you with all force

and be one with you, an ecstatic treat



let me be the first drop of rain

trickling down the curvy path

to reach all of you, and attain….

oh! to drench you with overflowing love



OH no! let me be ME and only ME

for me is the one you love

with all your heart and soul

for I am your sole, soul mate!!

Silent togetherness (POEM)

an article of the same name converted into a poem!!



Path glistens after the drizzles fresh
Pearls of raindrops on brim of leaves,
A little wind; pearls showers like stars.
Rare monsoon blooms shine bright.
A strange freshness fills the evening air.


Matching his small steps I walk him to the swing
We sit; enjoy the sway to and fro
He sits silent, a sweet smile and dreamy eyes
I too am quiet savoring the scenic marvel.
A rare “silent togetherness” me and my son.

These small moments of happiness; untold
Is all the wealth that we can amass,
Can keep it with us intact till the very end
So appreciate these and start the hoard :)

I WISH YOU WERE NEAR ME!

Sitting on the blanket of greenery,
dew drops on grass blades silvery,
when cool breeze embraces me
i wish you were near me!



Flapping wings as birds fly by,
and disappear into a Magic land
when sky blushes, Sun hides
i wish you were near me!


as all the green turns gray-black!
one by one lights flicker at far
when slowly stars smile at me
i wish you were near me!


i want to share all the joy
appreciate tiny things that are
bliss of Life, with you beside
I know you’ll always be there !!

THE NEED

This urge cannot be quenched
I feel this for sure, it’s true
An eternity of nearness will do no good
As time will pass, without clue

Togetherness is like a dream, sweet
We’ll never ever want to wake
Our inner selves we shall meet
Memories to cherish, we will make

FIRE!

One that is ever hungry
i am that fire sultry
consuming all, being consumed
i am also the firefly summed

burning off; i become new
like a snake that sheds skin
i move on shaking off- to Live
-all the soot; devoid of sin.

Festival of Lights

Silent Togetherness!!!

The paths were still wet by the fresh drizzles. The brim of the leaves still had the pearls of rain drops. With one shake or a little wind they would all shower down like stars. The rare blooms of the monsoon shone bright in the twilight. There was some freshness in the air. We sat on the Swing swinging slowly. It felt great sitting there, moving to and fro enjoying the mild fresh beauty of the evening.
I like to sit there with my son munching on our respective snacks. He sits silently with all his mind on the snack and it gives me my silence too to suck in the scenic marvel. May be he too likes these moments of silent togetherness with his ‘amma’.


These are the small moments of happiness of Life to be cherished and such moments are all the wealth that we can amass in a lifetime and keep it with us till the very end.:))
