GOLDEN WORDS !


THE IDEA: The story is about two simple individuals who were once classmates and hardly interacted with each other…On the last day of their class  ,one confesses to have true admiring feelings for the other and then they  started out their journey separately only to meet years later . Each of them shining on the peak of their career . The story simply reflects how an emotion called love can change the   life  and thinking of a  weak person  forever!

The beautiful leaf from the chinar just flew down to her feet.She was walking since the last one hour without realising how far she had travelled.

Life too had been strange, a look behind  gives the glimpse of everything that she wanted to remember.

It wasn’t long since she was a young girl in her teens,like every other girl flying and bubbling with enthusiasm ,yet quiet in several matters.She was just another girl,nothing special about her that could make her desired. She was aware of that and never felt bad about it.

Schooldays were going to end soon and highschool would be great fun she had heard the conversation between her classmates.Often she was a part of everyone’s talks but never gave her opinionon anything.

One afternoon,after the class was over,an unknown friend came to her and handed her a small piece of paper rolled very nicely.Wondering what it was,she asked the girl,  ” what’s this”? The girl  just replied back , “Open and see it yourself, I don’t have any faintest idea about it.”Saying this she turned around and went back.

Confused , having a look at the paper that looked so attractive,she rolled it back to open.

Inside were few sentences written ,reading which she was astonished.

INTENSE DEVOTION !


Based on a true life incident , when I was just 12.This experience instilled in me the sense of devotion and explained the meaning of total surrender…

Miles away a flame flickers on the verge of getting smothered,

two innocent lives run helter skelter to try their luck,

A strange night for everyone,  a challenge of faith so arduous,

a small negligence could take a life for ever…

*****

Helpless still calm,remained the innocents,

unaware  of all ,was the light of this existence,

deeply engrossed in accomplishing a task,

far off oblivious of the tense situation overall…

*****

A messenger carried  the last message,

the pure childlike hearts feared the absence,

hearing the last call from the kin,

the mighty word got worried…

time had flown like the wind,

Was it already late or had he some time left for the scene?

Bowed before to get the permission,

he waited for the Supreme to nod his appraisal,

Astonished he got the reply,

to complete the task without fearing the outcome!

*****

Intense faith with a gigantic  determination ,

Courage unlimited to stay back in such fervour,

Grace of god and words from HIM,

were the only blessings that he could get in….

Week later when he arrived,

having the mixed emotions inside,

knowing not what was there lying ,

in the garden of his life…

*****

Lo! He found,

The innocent minds playing giggling with their smiles,

light of his life was still burning,

with a small flame ,but intensifying…

Needless to say any words,

the trio ran and hugged him like never,

For they had shown the faith in him,

along with the deepest devotion within…

****

A DESIRED WISH


Walking with me till you can,

holding my hand till I need,

are your words ,

that reflect a gleam…

Just for the sake of this verse,

 I need you as a companion,

As your words are fillers in between ,

for  my intense feelings  scattered within…

Your words make me feel your essence,

Haven’t wished for anything more than,

this cosmic presence,

far away when you write on a paper,                                                                                                             

I want to be the  pen you write with,

and my heart wishes to be the  ink flowing from its nib…

desires and wishes are always strange,

loved and craved for… by everyone,

like a piece of paper or a pen…or   an ink  of any desired colour!

 

 

 

 

A NEW ERA


Away from the noise of the universe,
Lets go to the other end of the world,
beyond the golden horizon,
where thoughts transcend and become feelings,
deeper than the deepest ocean of living.
Away from the melancholy of the heart,
where the garden of our life becomes blossomed with flowers,
creating music with the chords of our love,
singing the tunes will be  the humble sweet birds…
Away from the life so meaningless,
away from the riches and money minded leeches,
to create  a world of our own,
where tranquility and harmonic  thoughts flow,
love and humanity are the gems known,
where a new era of passion and ardor  embarks…

SUGAR & HONEY


A teaspoon of sugar or a drop of honey,

effect of the sweetness remains even in melancholy,

white crystalline as the crystals,

or translucent viscous as the gel,

changing the bitterness of our tongue,

energising our reflex actions in one…

             

Added to or dissolved in a drink,

served invisibly in any dessert pudding,

give the same longing taste of sweet tooth,

letting us forget all the stings…

******

Words and tone are similar ,

in rendering the sweetness of nature,

filling one’s mind and heart ,

with love and gentle behaviour…

******

A humble tone is adored ,

words compassionate are admired,

A human  being of such a combination,

Is loved by everyone for spreading  the charm…

A golden bride


Few lines in honour of the beautiful photos posted by onlinefunland of a bride in gold..

Bride Over Loaded With Gold.onlinefunland.wordpress.com

Beautiful smile,gorgeous face,

decked with gold from toe to head,

Glimmering like a star in the sky,

Just wanna say I want just you,

and your golden shy…

Ornaments of yours ,

are your innocence and nature,

adorned with the gold

you look  like a princess of high stature,

charming and ravishing you shine in them,

But I will always love you ,

with or without them…

FLOWERS OF JASMINE


Intoxicating atmosphere by the fragrance of the jasmine,

The beauty of the serene night enhances  with the flowers on the branch,dangling,

Glanced,loved,desired for once,to get caressed by the lovely touch …

Enchanting presence makes  the surrounding exhilarating…

Whiteness of the petals reflect the pure innocence,

Untouched is the  virginity’s essence,

retaining their virtous presence,

Unplucked neither to decorate the stages  ,

Nor ever bedecked the scene of  new nuptial compliance…

*

Till the time they hang on the immaculate branch of love,

Remain oblivious  of the world’s small petty pleasures,

bloomed,blossomed,withered on the same nodes ….

enjoying the spring and summer time weathers…

If ever by destiny,they disembark, from their kingdom of love,

They have a wish buried within, till they breath last,

To touch the lotus feet of the  creator: of the universe,

By  surrendering themselves on the altar of the life’s dimensions..

AN EXCEPTIONAL JOURNEY- A RARE WISH


Under the blue spread with white fluffy cotton balls hanging on our  head,

amidst the fluorescent green carpets, laid over mountains and plains,

lies a terrain path full of stones and pebbles,

On which I walk with  barren feet  hurting my delicate veins…

A small  stone suddenly pierces as my foot unknowingly tramples,

the pain I forget because of the frequent shambles,

Long before  when I had started on this road as an  exception,

Everyone around had announced my failure and misery as the result of this gamble…

*****

Smilingly I forgave them all for their consistent displeasure,

as my heart knew the reason for their unknown behaviour,

faith in you ! O my lord! I started this  journey with courage,

Belief in you,sincerity in me, lead me with  my determination ahead…

*****

How far is the destination ? my Lord! questions  my companion,

 who has been with me in my struggled times and years,

Not for me , I have doubt in my  resilience or your miracles,

Seeing the pain and the tears of loved ones , I  ask this out of fear!

Moments of joy and happiness ,I had wished for my dear,

Am I not torturing that  being, by accepting this road of wear,

Or is it that we are tied by our deeds and our fortune,

suffering and enjoying together the music  of destiny in one tune…

*****

Humble note of gratitude to you,for whatever I am today,

asking for your grace  to bestow on my loved dear being,

Even If I move on the mountains or the difficult stony hills,

please take my loved one’s soul to the heaven directly through your blessings…

SWEET MEMORIES


Sweet memories of golden moments,
when we were far,still hearts connected,
filling the space in between ,
with the radiation of the warm feelings…
Tied together by humble words,
strengthening the bonds of affection,
verses for you I had written,
unknowingly out of my concern….
****
distance for me never mattered,
your presence is the diamond…
forever bedecked on the ring,
of my soul and aura’s gleam…
