I loved writing this one. I am not sure what you thought of when you gave me those ten words but this one flowed! Thank you Puja!
This is no ordinary feeling
when I take the oath in pride
a call to duty to place
my country first!
~
This is a moment to cherish
for I am chosen
to salute my motherland
my country first! (more…)
Shilpa, Thank you. This is for you!
Glorious autumn days
a bite of depressing chill
gold of the fall
walking a masquerade
dance to overtures,
spillovers of
Beethoven’s Moonlight Serenade… (more…)
Deki Phintso, the things I learnt from you when in school were numerous. Most of all, I learnt that hard work always pays. I never worked that hard in school but the lesson was learnt. You taught me. I watched you and I learnt. This one is for you. Hugs!
There are no lemons handed out
no flavor to life
but what you add,
there are no reasons to believe
nothing to remember
except what you had.
~
There are no emotions
no everlasting joy
but what you bring,
there are no processes (more…)
This really was the first of the “Ten words to a poem” series. Sharing this with you all. Alpana ~ this was because you gave me those first ten words. Love and hugs. Always be happy.
Whispering little goodbyes
to what could have been,
a touch here,
now forever gone,
all destroyed,
despair winning every
single move
while
love hides furtively
behind the idiosyncrasies (more…)
This one is for you Aash – you define my life in more ways than you will know. I love you so much!
Hey life! I stand before you
Seek me on my ground reality.
Nothing more you have
can disillusion me.
~
For, I am Faith
I shall grab what you hold back… (more…)
For my buddy Bindu – you inspired this one from me. This one is for you.
A lifetime of love
without a selfish thought
every teardrop reads emotions
too moving to explain.
~
No words bring
close to an understanding
what sets energy in motion (more…)
Anchal Manchanda ~ this one was possible because you nudged me. Thank you!
The first morning light
slices through
unnoticed…
quietly adding colour
to a new day, nudging
to allow possibility
of forgiving and forgetting (more…)
Punita ~ this one is for you. Thank you for helping me create this.
A throbbing ache lights up
deep within my heart
as my final gulps of life I breathe
a twinge of desire rises and recedes
…marked upon every page (more…)
Grateful thanks to Anupama ~ Love you girl! Many hugs!
Snug in the warm comfort
in my world of dreams
a child I am again
leaping kangaroo strides,
thoughts leading me…
…
on my toes I stand atop the Everest (more…)
Questions educate and learning processes go on.
Amidst the chaos of this methodical life
I live, I learn
of the sun and moon, stars and flowers,
mid-time sunshine, summer showers… (more…)
