Conversation With God

I went to the place I often frequented
And was flabbergasted with what I saw.
Unable to control myself I questioned,
“Lord what has been done to you?
Why in the name of religion
Is shoving and pushing permitted
Amongst those
Who want to have a glimpse of you?
Why is special treatment given
To those who pay a hefty sum
To the Trustee fund?
Why is there a separate gate
For VIPs to meet you?
Aren’t we all equal before you?”

Disappointed, I continued my rant,
“Where is the sanctity that once existed
In your so c...

Fighter's Vow

Am thankful for this life,For being a daughter, friend, Sis, mom and wife.Could I have asked for anything more?I don't think for sure.
Yet that quiet demon within me,Doesn't like to seeMe happy.It tells me to ask for the moon,And that too, real soon.
Time 'o' clock is ticking fast.If I don't act nowIt won't last.It knows I have broken pieces inside,Scars and wounds I cannot hide.
But one thing is for sure,I know whats mineAnd wont ask for more.I almost gave up but now I won't,I have people...

Watch Your Back

One day as I went to leaveMy little girl at school.She looked up with wonder-filled eyesAnd spoke with a demeanour cool.
"Mommy," she said "please don't go,I am scared to walk alone.What would I do if I fall?What would I do if you are gone?"
I smiled at her and I said, "When you fall I'll be there to catch.And when you walk, do walk ahead,I'll always watch your back."
And then she asked, "What if you had to go?"What if I don't find you around?"I replied, "No matter where we might go,Our hea...

Remember Me

Remember  me,When your chips are down,When the world aroundMakes you frown.
Remember me,When your hopes are lowAnd you do not knowWhere to go.
I only wish to beThe friend you needWhen you are sad.I only wish to beHappy memoriesThat make you glad.
Remember me,When life seems steepWhen you want to weepAnd you cannot sleep.
Remember me,When you cannot copeAnd there is no scopeFor a ray of hope.
Let me be the lightOn a silent nightThat bring you smiles.I'll be the happy thoughtsComforting shotsFo...

Love Conquers It All

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 po...

Conversations: Serendipity

SCENE 1: OUTSIDE A LIBRARY
"It looks like you're in trouble there. Can I help?"

"No thank you. I can manage on my own."

"Listen, the books are heavy. Let me carry them for you."

"Am grateful for your concern. However, I prefer doing things on my own."

"Hmmm... By the way Sam, my name is Vic."

"I know that. We are classmates."

"What??? I am so sorry for not recognising you."

"It is okay. I was not as popular as you were in college."

"No, I have to apologise. This is embarrassing!"

"In that case, I have...

Association

They say twas six years of association, I have lost only my spouse.Do they understand the bond we sharedAnd the feel of loneliness I house?
They say without you now being alive,No bond with me they share.Then why is it that time and againThey pretend to others they care?
They can take all your clothes, your material things,Leaving me without any.What they cant take is the love we sharedOr the memories now with me.
If they think it disturbs meOr shatters my peace of mind.Pity on them cause I...

Friends And Memories

When life's not okAnd I need to cry.When I need answersTo my what, how and why.
When my chips are downAnd I badly need a smile,Friends bring in laughterAnd make this life worthwhile.
So all I needs to find "Me"Is few good friends and memories.All I need to be MeIs few good friends and memories.
When I feel drained outAnd things seem so wrong,When my hope dwindlesAnd I need to stay strong.
When life tries hard toPull and bring me down,When I seek happinessAnd instead get a frown.
Then all I need to...

Life At Present

It feels so good to be finally freeFrom chains of Past that were binding me.
It is time to sit and smell the flowersAnd drench my soul in sunny showers.
New roads beckon, both fair and wildAnd travel I will like an adult child.
Years have passed but age is just a numberI have dreams to live by, the ones I see in slumber.
Time is moving fast but I have now slowed downIndulging in laughs, sidelining my frowns.
I have cast aside my sorrow, my tears and my painFinally I have truly learnt to live again...

Gratitude

Thank you God for all my friends,Who stood by me when my sea was rough.Thank you for those gentle soulsWhose presence made me tough.
For all those who were quietly thereWith silent prayers in their heart.And for those who speak out loud,Helping me to rebuild and restart.
Everyone who has touched my lifeHas made it really worthwhile.Am truly blessed to have friendsWho are the reason for every smile.
Few are there since my childhood,Few have joined me in my life's journey.Thanking all for being th...
