Little Birdie & Golden Cage!



"Just one leap I need. A leap of freedom",
Said the little bird, with all her wisdom

Wisdom that had gone down the drains
When she fell for the cage, ditching her brains

The cage that was made of gold and pearls
It was the secret desire of a dozen girls

Girls that were pretty and wanted to play
Thought that the cage was from dough of clay

Clay that can easily be molded with their fingers and wrist
"A cage is a cage, even if it's golden", was it a quest?

A quest that was hard to unveil and demystify?
Had they thought the world was easy to defy?

World that has so much hypocrisy and rage
That's exactly what was lying in the cage

The cage that shined and attracted the bird
Little did she know, she'll never get to say a word

Words of excitement which chirpily she sang
Disappeared into air, poisoned by the fang

Fangs of the snake that hid beyond the glitter
Poisoned the bird's life and made it bitter

Bitterness, with her personality, had now intertwined
It had become a part of her heart, brain and mind

Mind that was once an epitome of cheerfulness
Had now become a house of boredom and dullness

Dullness that had encroached the bird's shiny face
Happiness had vanished, without even a trace

Trace, wish she could, even a little of her wisdom
While hoping from the cage, her "leap of freedom!"

अधूरापन...!!!



















आज इन आँखों में कुछ नमी सी है 
आज फ़िर महसूस हुई कुछ कमी सी है
तुम बिन दिल की धड़कन कुछ थमी सी है

इस दर्द को मिटा पाना कठिन सा है
इस मन को समझा पाना कठिन सा है
अपने प्रेम को छुपा पाना कठिन सा है

क्यूँ बिछड़ने के लिए मिलते है हम?
क्यूँ हमेशा साथ नहीं होते है हम?
क्यूँ मिलकर बिछड़ ही जाते है हम?

एक दीया जलाया था मन में विश्वास लिए 
हम साथ रहेंगे इस बात की एक आस लिए 
तुम पास रहो तो जलाते रहेंगे रोज़ दीये 

तुम बिन मन की सारी बातें अधूरी है 
तुम बिन खुशियाँ और ख्वाहिशें अधूरी है 
तुम बिन मेरी ये कविता भी तो अधूरी ही है...!!!

To my best man!




















I am getting married in a week,
I know that makes you go weak,
You happened to be the first man in my life,
And now I’m going to be someone else’s wife,
Not that it’ll change the facts about you and me,
But still, quite different, everything will be!

All that happiness portrayed by your smile,
And then those sudden rushes of your bile,
It is obvious how you struggle with yourself,
To accept that I’ll be a trophy of another’s shelf!

You will remain special, just like you’ve always been,
I will always love you, and this, I really really mean!

I will never forget the special moments we shared,
When we showed each other how much we cared,
When we fought bitterly over what’s wrong and right,
And then to sort it out, we hugged each other tight!

Remember how I hugged you and slept like a little one?
Did you then figure out, I’ll be taken away by someone?
Remember how you’d compliment me when I’d cook?
I used to browse for hours together, that recipe book!

When I left the town to study further, I knew you were upset,
But then you understood, it was for a good career’s onset,
Months after months, I kept staying away from you,
And then at times I rushed back- just to be with you,
But whenever came the time to go away again,
Only your eyes showed the separation’s pain!

Your have never been able to speak about your feelings clearly,
But your actions have always conveyed that you love me dearly!

I still remember the look on your face when I got engaged,
I saw the complexity of the smile you had managed,
Down through your cheeks when came those tears,
They clearly expressed all your emotions and fears!

The ceremonies of my wedding, when you will witness,
I can very well imagine the level of your stress,
And when you will put my hand in his hand,
With a trembling body, you’ll manage to stand!

And I still wouldn’t know whether to be happy or sad,
This rush of mixed emotions has made me totally mad!

Sometimes when I look at your face, my mind gets bare,
It questions me, about you, how much did I care?
One moment I feel that I completely understand you,
Another moment I don’t know if I even know you!

Just like you, I’m not good with expressing too,
But I love you a lot, and you know it, don’t you?

The thought of being away from you brings me tears in a moment,
If imagination is so horrifying, reality will be one hell of a torment!

May be we were meant to be away from each other,
But our love is pure and strong, please don’t bother,
I know you feel you won’t have rights on me after I’m wedded,
But trust me- our rights on each other are forever embedded!

The greatest of poets would fail to describe our affinity,
To share our sweetest memories, we will need eternity!

Our relationship is always going to be the most special one,
Nobody can ever replace you in my heart, absolutely no one!
It doesn’t matter that I’ll be called “his wife”,
You will always be the best man of my life!!

We aren’t the only couple, who’ll face this separation- hardship,
This misfortune is a part of every father-daughter relationship,
But when hearts are near, these distances won’t matter,
Our love is the strongest, it will never ever shatter!

Everything Passes By!

 


















The long summer days when you drench in sweat,
The pouring rainy evenings that make you all wet!

The cold nights that make you shiver,
The chills that make you quiver!

The stress at work that makes you mad,
The failures that make you feel bad!

The success that makes you brightly shine,
The bottles of champagne & glasses of wine!

The moments of anger, disgust and pain,
The times when you feel like all is in vain!

The tears you shed when reality bites,
The joy you feel on flying kites!

The speed of a super-fast life,
The sharpness of a brand-new knife!

The brightness of a shining light,
The glories of a brave Knight!

The smiles, laughter and little joys,
The innocence of those young boys!

The pride and joy of having power,
The sweetness of a fresh flower!

The strength of those tall pillars,
The ugly phase of caterpillars!

The carefree days of your childhood,
The taste of your favorite food!

The excitement of that first date,
The curiosity to know your fate!

The subtle pain of your wisdom tooth,
The long queue outside a telephone booth! 

The charm of that attractive smile,
The energy to run that extra mile!

The smell of your freshly painted house,
The adjustments with your new spouse!

The love for your new car,
The pain of a fresh scar!

The time when you badly miss your best friend,
The time when you wish that the hardships end!

The value of every breath,
And finally the fear of Death!!!

The Passing Cloud!
















People come and people go,
Life, indeed, has its own flow.
Nobody ever stops for you,
And so, nobody should stop you.

Some people come like a breeze of cool air,
And add more colours to your life,
But when they go, life’s like a nightmare,
More of a pain, sufferings and strife.

But it’s just a matter of time,
And then the pain will be rime,
Always existent but never alive,
Like a body, but the soul skive.

It gets quite difficult to let go of each bit,
But either now or later, you have to quit,
Sooner the better, you’ll be relieved of the pain,
May be a lot to lose, but then ‘peace to gain’.

Just take each incident as a beautiful dream,
Do not blubber and do not scream!
Let people come and let people go,
Enjoy your life and enjoy the flow!
