There is no one like you, my dear!!!



There is no one like you, my dear
For long I have searched, gone around
There is no heart like yours, my dear
That beats so perfectly in me, without a sound

You know when my heart’s happy
You know when it cries
You seem to know it’s trials
And how it grapples and tries

You are so quiet, so in tune with me
I rarely ever notice a mis-step inside
It’s wonderful to hear you tell me
Baby! You’re the best!
I know it’s not true though
But hey! You pass the test!

When I cheer, I hear your voice with mine
When I tire, you spring a surprise
How is it that you came to be?
That too completely for me!

There is no one like you, my dear
For long I have searched, gone around
There is no heart like yours, my dear

That beats so perfectly in me, without a sound

I Have Spoken!!!

There are times we go through tough times. And there are times most of us fail to find a voice to table our side of the story to even those who are meant to be our closest confidantes. There are many who have found their voice late in life, some who are in the process now and some who are yet to discover the power of voicing their thoughts!! This for all those who are facing a dilemma- Good Luck!!


You came, you ruled
Swept me off into your world
Of words, simple thoughts
And silly jokes
I was silent..

You gave me purpose
Sense of direction
And a sense of self worth
I lapped it all up but yet
I was silent..

You spun your fables
You turned the tables
You then pulled the earth
from beneath my feet
I remained silent..

And then one day
I woke up and
I was done!
Done being silent!!

I thank you
 for the Joys you bought to my life
I thank you
 for the lessons You taught.
I thank you
for the deceit and the pain
But no longer
silent will I remain

There are times I wish I was vocal
Times I wish I could speak my mind
May be that is why you never really
could fathom,
My appreciation, adulation
and even my sarcasm!

Now that I have spoken
I feel good
A weight has lifted off my chest
I remain vocal I wanna be heard
I want no token, I won’t be broken
Know it for sure - I Have Spoken!!!

The elixir of life!!


I may not be around for long
I am as good as gone
I have only pieces of life left
To gather from around

I haven't a way out now
I’m stuck in time
There is no way I can
rebuild the bygone

there is love and yet there isn’t
it is but a mirage!
the fading sight of you
echoes the rage in my heart

as the elixir of life ebbs
it brings about a calm
it is what I need now
I want and need the balm

I will walk the path of right
how empty it shall be
For I have nothing within me
No soul to accompany me

You are fast fading away
And I’m just a dream
The moments I had with you
Are like bubbles in the rain

I may not be around for long
I am as good as gone
I have only pieces of life left
To gather from around….

The impossible choice!






You see a lovely bird in flight
A sight that seems just right
Spanning its beautiful wings
Twirling in the playful winds

But can she be in the sky, forever
And not return to ground? Never!
Coz it is in this mud that she was born
Tis but here her seeds are sown

The earth has birthed her, nourished and fed her
Given her the trees to build her nest
Tis here that she has learnt to skip and hop
And scale the tree to the top!

Then one day she sees the sky
And decides to fly
Pushing her feet against the earth
She takes into the skies

She feels the wind beneath hers wings
And freedom in her veins
Soaring above the trees and earth
Thrilling madness reigns

Who does the bird belong to my friends?
Where do her loyalties lay?
Can she leave the earth and fly
Or leave the sky, on earth should she stay?

How can the earth hold on to her?
How can the sky not let go
Can the twain decide to share?
Her happiness and sorrow…

Story of a Woman-Part 2

Do I hear a faint voice from yonder?
Is it for me, is it for real - I wonder
Should I pay heed to this call?
Or do I just go on and bear it all

It is hard to believe there is help
It is hard to believe my pain is shared
Time has layered the heart so much
It is hard to believe, there is someone after all

It’s an ember, a tiny piece of light
hidden deep but shining bright
I must take the step and save it now
before it’s gone forever, lost in the folds of night

I have to fight stigma and despair
Take this fight to the end
To be stepped upon or step out sans au pair
It is a choice I must make and defend

The voice is now stronger
The rage is within
It will get me going
And give me wings

I am going to rise and leave behind me
Years of waste, guilt and self-pity
carry the scars I will, with pride
for they are the keepers of my ride

Of a time when I was lost and alone
Of a time when future was forgone
A time like the listless and wandering tart
not just me, it’s you too, cross your heart

I am not ashamed of my scars anymore
Look around, don’t we all carry a few?
Seek and you shall find many
Rising from ashes, glowing anew!

 Nothing comes easy, I know
Freedom not in the least
The ghouls will shriek, try and break my vow
But I shall slay the beast!!

The Story of a Woman!!! Part1

This is dedicated to all Women out there!
Object to being abused, insulted, berated and defiled! Rise and roar for now is the time to shine!!
'Coz when you rise, you transform the world and when you roar the whole universe will listen!!
*********************************************************************************

 This is the story of my life, jaded

Soon it will feel gone, faded

Will anyone shed tears of love

Over my grave, when I have gone above.

Anyone,  anyone at all?

Born determined, rebellious and free

I fell for slavery, bonded labor to be

I have served now for a decade

I am tired I want some shade

Is there someone, anyone there?

I can call to and run to when scared

Anyone,  anyone at all?

I gave up freedom, gave up my spirit

For something I thought was lot like love

It turned out to be restricting, forbidding me, killing my voice

I’m trapped, let me out! Don’t you hear my silent noise

I shriek and I lament about it a lot

Is there anyone, can you hear me not?

Anyone,  anyone at all?

I have a progeny I can call mine

The joy of my world, my planets nine

It is he who needs me and I need him too

His smiles, lovely eyes and of his smell I reek

Are they the only treasures I seek?

Stop dreaming of being free

You are going nowhere, let it be

If you dare to spread your wings

In one swoop I will cut you down

You will lose everything you hold dear

Name, family, friends and near

Most of all you foolish one

You will lose your only son

I lay still, numb and quiet

Seething, simmering

In the deathly night

Is there a solution that I don’t see

Cant anyone tell me, enlighten me?

Anyone,  anyone at all?

One day will come, in a few years from now

My son shine will have to go anyhow

He will have to leave and walk away

To make his mark, to mark his day

Then I may find courage to get up and leave

But will it be late, too late to retrieve

Like a chain around my heart,

like an arrow piercing the dart

This thought weighs on me a lot     

It is my pain, my bane, my rot

Am I selfish to want to be me?

Is it terrible to just be?

Is my longing a serious crime?

Is there a soul out there like mine?

Can you call out and accept me

For what I am and who I am

Imperfect, flawed and yet so real

This is me, I am my seal

Anyone, anyone at all….

A love note to my beloved!!

I woke up this morning, found you lying by my side
           I wondered when you came in and snuggled inside,
I stretch, turn around and even though its time to go
           I decide to warm my “left out in the cold” toe.

I rest my head on your right shoulder
           feel the warmth of your skin against mine
and as I nestle into my niche, I find
           the urge to inhale you, breathe you, disintegrate into you.

The morning light sneaks in through the window dancing
warm, sunny, crisp and inviting
I feel you move, gathering me closer
as I look up I feel amazed by the calm on your face

I am content here, I have no fear
should the end come now, happily I shall bear
In your arms as I lay, all my worries are at bay

A blanket seems to be covering me up, keeping out the cold and pain
like a warm broth on an evening dampened by rain
Our love remains static, when every moment brings change
It’s the only haven to run back to, when all else fails

The few hours we have together, are enough for me to gather
armfuls of colorful gems – love, laughter & all that chatter
lying around the room in a scatter.

This! my love, is what is precious, this is what the heart yearns
spends a lifetime running after, and then the fool learns,
Cars, coins, courtesans everything else fails
the hearts is plain happy when love alone reigns.

All these lines running through my mind
Snuggling further, to myself I smile, it”s nine -lest i lose the rhyme :)
I must put my pen to paper, not now though
in good time, all in good time!
