Happy New Year - 2015

The clock strikes twelve with smiles

A New Year born full of dreams 

A new start in the journey of miles 

Is welcome with cakes and screams. 

Wishes and shouts of 'Happy New Year' 

Sounds of fireworks lighting the skies 

I sit in my terrace with no one near 

Enjoying the night with sleepy eyes. 

Staring at the road ahead  that lay 

Full of adventures,full of hopes 

Promises to keep and debts to pay 

Yes, a New year is born!

Poverty - a Disease worse than Death!

As I went out walking 

On a cool and breezy evening 

There lay a man with dirt 

Neither in his mind nor in his heart 

But in his long and unkempt hair

A man who was once fair 

Now his face,a face of desperation 

His body,a lean mass of flesh, 

Clinging to the bones for dear life 

His eyes,his tiny little eyes 

Chill and icy,filled with hunger 

His soul,defeated and tortured,

By the harsh realities of life 

As he lay there begging, I walked on thinking, 

Poverty-a disease worse than death!

School Life..(No more..!)

Walk into your school,
Hear your voice echoing around the classrooms,
See yourself enjoying with your friends,
Feel the air filled with innocence,
That biggest worry to finish your homework,
That biggest burden of your exams next week,
That biggest goal of reaching school on time,
Those laughs, those joys,
Those smiles, those tears
But suddenly one day everything is over
No more benches to sit and chat
No more friends to celebrate your joys
No more close buddies to share your sorrows
No more classrooms to learn your lessons
No more laughs, no more joys,
No more smiles, no more tears
No more..No more..
Echoes fade and happiness dies,
Only memories to live with..!

Those Days...

Memories of those days came with a pain,

A pain that brought tears like a rain.

Those days when mom's laps were the best pillows.

Those days when dad was our only super-hero.

Those days when our studies were our only burden.

Those days when our innocence was our only weapon.

Those days when ghosts haunted our rooms at nights.

Those days when our tears were meant for candies.

Those days when our laughs were meant for mischiefs.

Those days when our world was too small,

And yet too lovely...

That phase that was called childhood,

The only phase when we really 'lived'..!

Mother

A few lines about the purest relationship in the world - Mother!

Making her life bitter

To make my life better

Shedding her own tears

To stop my own tears

Forgetting her cute laughs

To see my cute laugh

Giving up her desires

To fulfill my desires

MOM...

God is always near me

When you are here for me

What can I do

In return for what you do

I know i can't pay

But one day you'll say

With your heart filled with pride

With your mind filled with joy

With tears in your eyes

With a smile in your lips

"He's my son and I love him!"

Under the Moonlit Sky

Last night I woke up with a scream

To find that I had a horrible dream

When I tried to close my eyes again

Memories of the dream came with a pain

And I then knew I can't sleep

For the dream made me leap

I sat in the black darkness alone

With mind full of hopes forlorn

I stared out at the world that lay

Entirely different from what I saw at day

The night was beautiful with all its charms

I felt the night's warmth in my palms

I stood up and glanced at the sky

To find the stars smiling at me with shy

I love the moon and called her aloud

She blushed and hid behind a cloud

I knew I did not feel lonely anymore

As I relished the night's beauty to the core!
