WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT………………..

WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT………………..


I had been missing you
Wondering ..how long ..how far
You have gone.
The calendar says few months …
The heart says it is ages
Since I have been alone……………….

I find myself on the steering
Driving along the tarred streets
Through traffic snarls
Stuck in jams….
Looking at the numberplate
Of car in front
Reading the stickers ..time and again

Thinking of you ..
As you walked alongside me
Down the memory lane…………..

Did’nt realize
When the car in front
Moved ..
The cacophony of horns breaking my reverie……
I press the accelerator full throttle
Move on to highway..
In all its loneliness
Reminding me of my state………….

The Sun raced along the sky
Keeping me company …till
I find I can’t keep the pace
I look at the car..quietly parked
No signs of life as I rev the engine
Again and again
Reminding me of my state ..
Of my pain………….

Tired .
I slump out on the seat
The seat belt snapping out
Just like my head slumped on my chest
Tired ..and drained out…………

Through my closed eyes I could see
The setting Sun
Perched on the hills
The rays touching me
Bidding byes ..
Before retiring
to the dark confines of skies…..

I fee someone touch my face
Softly opening up my eyes
Through the dry parched lips
I whisper your name
And hear it echo
Through the skies………………..

I could hear you whisper my name
Reverberating through the stillness
I could feel my heart
Beat once again
Bringing me back to life…
I looked at the hills
Found the sun shining bright..
Call me crazy..
Call me nuts..
But that is
What happened that night…………….

CRAZY AT MIDNIGHT………..

CRAZY AT MIDNIGHT………..



The clock looked at me rather surprised.
Or was it the clock trying to surprise me
I would never know……


I glanced again at the Clock……
I could see a faint smile radiate out
The hands were moving in an action
simulating a slow clap

It was midnight
I was alone
And missing you…but that does not entitle the clock
to joys of clapping

On the contrary…..
I could feel my temper rising

I reached for my tablet of calmpose
I must control ..I heard telling myself
My hands handed me back a card instead
I found you smiling out of card……

Strangely your fingers pointed
In the direction of the guilty clock..
I could feel your smile touch me
And I could feel my rising temper
Leave me ..bidding me bye
Walk out of my window……

Into my neighbour’s window
I could see him peep out of window
Rubbing his bleary eyes
Asking me accusingly
Why must I be clapping at midnight ?

He would never know..
The joy of knowing that
Pretty soon when I hit the sack
You will join me in my dreams……..
And for a change..
my loneliness can go and sleep alone….

CELESTIAL SONG

THE SKY WISHES TO SING A SONG
IN THE HEARTS OF EACH ONE OF US
WHICH WOULD TOUCH THE DEPTHS OF OCEAN AND
WAVES AND WAVES OF LOVE SHALL ROLL
TOUCH THE BEACH
CALLING OUT TO ALL ITS FRIENDS
COME AND JOIN ME
AS I SING THE CELESTIAL SONG................

HEY DOLL..........

.HEY DOLL..........

Don't worry

whether you can express yourself or not

because you are the most beautiful

expression of God's own joy and Love....

We also know that

you are an embodiment of

all that we ever prayed for

to God

and , He has sent you to us

as His answer

to our prayers .......

Don't ever feel

that you have hurt us

or can ever hurt...

because , if at all

at any time we have felt hurt

it is God's way of telling us

that perhaps

we could have loved you more.........

So

Forget your blues

Kickstart your days

with the joy and verve

that has been a part of you

always..........

EVER WONDERED........

EVER WONDERED........

Ever wondered
why the stars twinkle all night
in plain delight
Is it because ....long time back
As I rocked my little Doll
in my arms ...
she giggled
the radiance of her smile
becomes the twinkle in her eyes ..
finds reflection in the skies....
touches the star...deep to their heart
and they start ..
dancing
in pure delight...........

Ever wondered ...
why the rays of sun that filter through
your window drapes
touch your heart and warm it
as only love can...
It is because
as my doll giggled that day
with joy..
let loose the warmth of my love
all over the universe
making the sun warm..
and his rays can now
warm all the
hearts of the world.....

Ever wondered......
why the birds chirp all around
it is because
as my doll giggles and laughs
with joys
the birds find speech
and voice.....

Ever wondered....
why PaPa loves his Doll
so much...
it is because
the twinkle of stars ... the rays of sun
the chirping of birds
all as one.....
with the little joys of life
give meaning to
his life..
are all there just because
as I rocked my Doll
in my arms
she giggled and laughed
and gave the everlasting joy..
that made life
worth living

smile......

smile is sunshine on a rainy day.....it is a picnic on a week end.
It is a poem that your heart composed, it is a painting that keeps coming back again and again in front of my eyes.
smile because I remembered you today
smile because it might have been your birthday that I forgot
smile because I miss you so..........
Smile
