Eternal Love

Life was so blissful, I knew not any sorrow; reveling in beatitude, day and night.

Welcome arms wherever I go, shoulders to lean on whenever I wish.

Fun and frolic all day long, with friends and loved ones all along;

There was not a shadow of doubt, nor a twinge of misery or pain.

My path was long, straight and clear - without any twist or turn.

Never was there a need to panic or worry, just many a joyous moments to make merry.

For, I had not a foe to rebuke; nor a shifty friend to anguish over;

Forever was I, basking in the glow of trust, faith, worship, and love.

Oh! Now, I see a lot of things, which I failed to observe in my state of blessed naiveté.

I can feel a shadow descend on me, sense the evil, deceit and falsity around.

My heart is replete with disgust and despair, at the betrayal and pretense of those, once near and dear.

Engulfed in despair and anguish, I lay here forlorn in distress.

Nothing is eternal in this world; family, friends, kith and kin, and blood relations so very dear.

Wealth, fame, power, success and glory, everything is transient in life.

Oh God! Only your love is boundless and infinite, and so overpowering;

That I surrender to thee, and submerge myself in immortal divine euphoria!

My Little Mystery

My little brain, has no clue

Why do I feel, so very blue?

My little eyes, know not why,

Drops of tears roll down by.

My little heart, hurts so bad,

All along, have been so glad

My little head throbs so much,

Longing for some healing touch;

My little lips, lost their smile

Was it not my trademark style?

My little mouth, fails to laugh

For, in my life it's a gaffe.

My little mind wants to forgive, forget

There is nothing left to regret.

My little hands press together

I pray to God, free me of this tether.

Smile at the World

Hold your head high;

Look the world in the eye.

Your conscience is clear;

There is nothing to fear.

Let your thoughts be straight,

Hurt another you've no right.

Love is meant to be shared,

Let all expectations be spared.

Face each day with a smile,

For its warmth can reach a mile.

Wet Sunny Morning

I felt the sunlight tingle my face,

Alluring to wake up, with a gentle grace;

Golden brilliance, shown by the bay,

Gaped at the magic, with wondrous gay

Swung my legs, off the cushy couch,

Strode blithely near the window, to crouch

Breathed in the dizzy fragrance of wet earth,

Raindrops sparkling, it's solitaire on berth

Distant croak of frogs caught me unaware;

Colourful butterflies, fluttering everywhere

Mesmerised I stood, drunk in the beauty,

Absorbed and galvanized, forgetting my duty.

My Cherub

Tender fingers curled round mine,

And body entwined on me like vine.

Turned his head and gazed at me,

Eyes glistened, like deep blue sea.

Cherry lips curled into a smile,

Stole my heart for a while;

Never in life shall we part,

Held him close to my heart;

Overwhelmed by mirth, I nearly smother,

Feels like heaven to be a mother.

Anguish

I sat down the silent Brooke,
Gazing at the fishing hook;

The crystal water so still,
Sent deep down a chill;

The future seemed so bleak.
And, tears rolled down my cheeks.

I felt a lump in my throat,
When I peered at the note;

The last letter ever
I got from my lover.

I still can't believe
That my life is to grieve

Gone are the sweet days
As bright as sun's rays

Will I ever get to see him?
The chances seemed so grim

Yet another girl caused the rift,
The thoughts left me miffed.

So, the grief I swallow
All are not so hollow.

Love

Love is a feeling

That keeps you reeling,

Gentle is the desire

As sweet as choir,

Intense in boudoir

Makes you go bizarre,

Though you want to be steady

It makes you really heady.
