All that matters…

That small little window
That one ray of hope…

That shabby tiny door
The welcome gate for all…

That mere piece of cloth
That makes for her a lovely dress…

That sole portion of bread
That also feeds the guests…

That broken odd cot
That goodnight secret of her…

That vivid smile on the soiled face…
That promises her a perfect day…

That brightness in her eyes
That brings in a million smiles…

The one thing that u desire
The one thing u can actually acquire
The one thing that really matters
The one thing that doesn’t cost much
Is just the way you choose to look at it…

Unknown destinations

How’s it like to be heading no where
Strolling clueless and reaching somewhere
A place you don’t know
You don’t quite want to know
Look up and look around
Surprised and not so at the same time
Pained and numbed alike
Really…?
This feeling of no belonging
No direction and no longing
Is not a pain truly
Isn’t all that terrible really
A body let loose
A mind not in use
Yet a feeling not that awful
I don’t mind it
Not at all
At least not as of now
Hope this isn’t insanity
Wish it isn’t a folly
But then again
Does it matter?
To think and deliberate
More when the mind is in vain
Of a thing…of anything
For what I experience I have no complaints
Its not too bad…it’s not too good, too
Can I say for good…I have become comfortably numb?

Distant dreams...

When a cup of coffee becomes a distant dream

A wish too extravagant to accomplish

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a walk down the lane becomes a distant dream

A desire too costly to achieve

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When getting a phone call becomes a distant dream

An effort too hard to finish

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a drink at a nearby pub becomes a distant dream

A trip too far flung to begin

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a cuddle in the night becomes a distant dream

A craving too tough to fulfill

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a shoulder to cry on becomes a distant dream

A requisite too impossible to achieve

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

Well, am sure the times have changed but since the hearts remain the same

Those days will be back again

If not now, then may be in the coming tomorrows….

Fleeting glance…

Like the falling drops of rain

Rolling down my head

Like the moving grains of sand

Rushing down my hand

Like the lashing waves that never return

Washing away my footsteps

Like the breeze that travels along

Touching me and moving on

Like that stroking of the hair

Leaving the heart pounding for more

Like many such things

That just come and go

Time only seems to sprint away

So hold on to it

and don’t let the seconds go

From today....

For all the goodness that survives around

The unnoticed and the upraised

The unsung and the unseen

All that’s needed is a worthy thought

For the sunshine and the rain

The autumn leaves and the winter flakes

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the running waters and the settled sand

The still in the air and the moving troughs

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the lovely hues and the scented flowers

The buzzing bee and the chirping birds

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the tiny deeds and the modest words

The lightest pecks and the huge hugs

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

The smiling faces and the twinkling eyes

The umpteen plans and the late nights

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them form today

For the countless leisure walks by the road

The holding hands and the heart to hearts

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the friends and the constant support

The cheers and the shared jokes

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

More than joy

A moment of joy

Is what I seek

An instance of ecstasy

Is what I seek

A simple, secret desire

Is what I seek

A fire within

Is what I seek

A thought that compels

Is what I seek

A word well meant

Is what I seek

An action that stimulates

Is what I seek

A look, through me

Is what I seek

A tender touch

Is what I seek

A soul to stir me

Is what I seek

A life, inspiring

Is what I seek

……..a moment of joy

is what I seek

Melancholy speak

You came and you left

You touched and you moved

You inspired and you disappeared

You loved and you vanished

You stirred and you benumbed

You nursed and you faded

You frisked and you dashed

You descended and you departed

Questions unanswered and scattered hopes

Wetted eyes and jaded cores

Busted hearts and pained souls

The door’s open but the mind’s closed

The sun’s gleaming but there’s darkness galore

Children chortle but the heart’s sore

For us

Tomorrows are there no more…
