Grateful For A Moment

Sometimes, we end up getting what we badly need in life. It had been a long time since I took a break from work. Thanks to lockdown and proximity to office, I was one of the chosen few who relentlessly went to work. Days went by, months passed and yet, there I was busy meeting deadlines.Maybe, the fact that I was nearing burnout had reached God. Hence, it resulted in the most

Apart Yet Together

I never knew I'd meet you, And that you'd look beyond my scars, Though we aren't meant to be, Time with you my happiest hours. Its been ages since I've felt this way, You touched corners I never knew, We are in two different worlds, Yet I am glad my world is you. Happy that I met you, We did meet for a reason, You are my earth I am your sky, Our paradise, our horizon.

Loved By A Writer

You are loved by a writer my love, You will remain alive for eons to come, in the hearts of lovers. You will be a beacon for those who wander in search of a muse, a symbol, that love is eternal. And till there is you, there is love, And a hope that for every ending, there is always a new beginning.

Rain

There are days when I want to rave and rant, cry till my eyes turn puffy. Today is one of them. 'Turn to your friends,' my mind says. 'I can't,' I reply. Its not that I dont trust them. Oh, yes I do. I trust them with my life. Yet, a part of me wants to do it alone. With nobody asking questions and me not wanting to reply. I don't want to answer. In fact, I have no answers. And

I Know, Do You?

I know a child, Who with vacant eyes, Sat looking at the door, Awaiting a man, To execute a plan, Her 'partner in crime' for sure. She kept staring, Grumbling and glaring, To hear the sound of her gate, But what came next, Was not the best, And her father was never late. He did return, But in an urn, Remains of a black coffin box, He gave his life, A supreme sacrifice, It was that family's loss.

New Year Wish For My Sweetheart

Dearest sweetheart up in heaven,
I thought of a silent wish today,
Yet every fragment of my soul,
Wants me to shout out and say.
Have a wonderful year with your friends,
Enjoy your stay above,
I know you know that I am fine,
After all, we are soulmates my love.

I may sound wonky and delusional,
For saying you're alive in my life,
For the world you may be dead,
But I will always be your wife.
Love doesnot have an expiry date,
Especially when its true,
Nor does distance make any difference,
A case in point me...

New Beginning

Rest in peace my warrior in blue,
Six years have flown by,
Since the day I stayed back on earth,
And you joined the sky.

Initially, I tried to be like you,
I tried to fill up your shoes,
Then it clicked deep within
My roads were mine to choose.

I learnt to stand on my two feet,
And broadened my shoulders further,
I continued as mom,
I stopped being the father.

You always were and will always be,
The man our girls look up to,
I need to teach them that I am me,
And you will always be you.

Yes, you are no longe...

Angel Flight: Prologue

It was time. I closed my eyes. It seemed like ages, but yes, I felt nice to get back into a cockpit. I knew I was born to fly. I am a strong believer in second chances. I am so glad that I got one here as well. 
"Are you sure you want to start so early?" My co-pilot and captain of the helicopter was a tad apprehensive.
"I am absolutely certain sir," I replied souding as confident as I could.
He nodded and thereafter started rattling out the pre-flight checklist. I quietly followed his instr...

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart

Dearest Sweetheart Up in Heaven,

Its yet again time for me to sit back and live all the wondrous moments I spent with you. Completing 12 years of togetherness in spite of our distance is not a joke. You know what, it has taken me six long years to wish you on the day of our anniversary. To look back, the past six years have always been a roller coaster ride for me, especially on 10th May. I have always been my vulnerable best on this date. But as we enter our 13th year I realised things need t...

The Telephone: A Sonnet

Whenever the telephone does ring,My heart always skips a beat,
I do not know with what news I will meet,
Will I cry or will I sing?
With such doubts in my mind,
I unwillingly creep up to it,
At once I wish I could peacefully sit,
For sad news I always hate to find.
But my mind then gets filled with a thought,
If I cannot face a mere telephone,
I am the cowardest person ever known,
Deciding its better to be brave than not,
A new inspiration gets filled within me,
And thus I answer the call with much glee....
