She became a Mother

She flew in the big blue sky in search for twigs that would make her home one day

She thought of the little ones yet to be born, as she pecked at the straws from the hay

She flew past many trees that stood under the scorching sun, so grand, strong and tall

Finally picked the one that would protect her children if ever evil were to befall

As thunder struck and rain came lashing down, she moved on undaunted

She had a home to build, a dream to fulfill, that’s all, she had ever wanted

She derived her strength from thinking of her mother, so fearless so gallant

Who braved through the years and had the strength to face every challenge

She perched herself on the second highest branch and looked at the world so wide

Thought to herself, when her little ones would grow, how they would become her joy and pride

She closed her eyes to dream of her little home full of laughter and joy

She couldn’t thank God enough for her two little eggs in her nest and thought of a little girl and a boy

Time passed by and her two little eggs hatched, she opened her eyes as she heard the hungry cries

There came out two tiny heads with big brown eyes, clinging on to her for their dear life

As she cuddled them and fed them, she looked into their eyes with awe

If only she could stop time but she knew eventually they would grow and fly away, as was the nature’s law

                                                               

SHE WAS NOW A MOTHER

She became the wind under their wings as they struggled to fly

She became their eyes as they tried to look up at the sky

She became their strength when they would lose hope

She became their hero to look up to, as they tried to cope

She was there every night and every day

Made them learn the tough world’s ways

She let them fall a few times and let them get up themselves, how it hurt her but she didn’t let herself sway

Because she knew she wouldn’t be there always when they grow up to fly away

She taught them to be brave, soulful and kind

To know between right and wrong, and have a strong mind

She had asked for a family different than others, special in so many ways

Stand out when they would fly into the wide horizon under the sun ablaze

She stood proud when they took their first flight

Waited for them to return every night

They loved her but couldn’t thank her enough

They knew for her to make them who they were her sacrifices had to be tough

She is now at peace, her dream all fulfilled, a constant smile on her face

Now when she goes she knows her little boy and girl will be her mark in this world………………she has left her trace

For my Nanimaa

She was tender hands that caressed you to sleep

She was a smile that spread across your face every time she would peek

She was stories that would make your eyes go wide open with wonder

She was fear when you would be naughty , just like the thunder

She was a kiss that would be on your forehead

She was a hand that didn’t strike but always blessed instead

She was soulful words that would enchant you

She was thoughts that would encourage you when you felt blue

She was a tender heart that held lots of love for everyone

She was memories of our childhood, our youth under the moon, stars and the sun

She was a rhythm that danced with joy

She was the sweet laughter of a joke that you could hear several time’s but still enjoy

She was my GrandMa , an epitome of love, beauty, strength, energy ,royalty and grace

She may have left us but we will always have her love, laughter and fond memories to embrace

Such is life I am told that people come and people go

But I want to hold on so tight , I have so much to share , so much to show

But I will be brave and be strong for all others

That’s what you taught us to be – be strong for  family ,  for your sisters and brothers

She watches over us now from up above the sky

Showering her blessings  always and asking us never to cry

Rest In peace my dearest sweetest Nani Maa

Scarred Memory (old one)

A constant lie, a belief of faith dispelled
One pillar broken, which can now never mend
Cant look beyond this cloud of dust
A fire in the heart, wish there was never a start

Darkness surrounding with a feeling of desolation
A step back reminds me of the treachery
A step forward feels like it can never exist
So many blissful years and now a crack int he very foundation

A part of the body amputed, pain endless
Too much of indulgence is the cause of such state
I had thought destiny was sealed, but this was in my fate
its time to move on, time has flown past now to sit and obsess

Show me the light once again, i seek your blessing
Take my hand now before i sink too deep
Make me the strongest at this point when my heart is breaking
this mistake i promise to mend , this is a promise i shall keep

in the making

Innocence a forgotten word
Perished at the hands of the human soul long time ago
Few words spoken and a blurred meaning always taken
It’s the same since I became verbal , does that mean I should be forsaken

To feel the gush of enormous feelings
To word those abundant emotions
Should I now be deterred even when its without malice
Or shed the fear cause anyways I would be called so callous

A free soul but forbidden boundaries surrounding it
A lack of touch A lack of response
is now only left with a deafening mindless sound
and will slowly drown itself to be never found

I will stand by you.....till the end

When your dreams don’t come true, I will pick up the pieces , and mould another incredible one for you

I will stand beside you with utmost faith , until it is compelled to come true

My hand will hold yours through every step you take ,
My hand will lead you to your deserved fate,



A benign presence once led me to believe in destiny, that it is for me to find

That it will only come to me when I widen the horizon’s of my mind
Today I tell you the same, hold on to that beautifully woven dream
It may seem inconceivable now , but it will come true indeed



Extraordinary things happen around us all the time

But it takes a lot of perseverance for it to take shape and fall in line
One step ahead and many backwards , that’s when the belief might get broken
A tribute to our patience is imminent and he will not be able to go back on the words already spoken



We will look back to the time that has passed and look ahead to how much is left

It will seem like a big black hole with no end to the loneliness that it has kept
He has been leaving traces for us to follow , A sign for us he has always been sending
Soon we will receive it with open arms and take what was always ours from the very beginning

Until last breath

When I am gone will it be then, that you would realize my worth
That everyday that the sky had watered, was to settle the dust
For every time the clouds had covered the sun to cool the earth’s crust
It was all done at behest of a hand that had folded in prayers for always you first

Will life be so ill-humored to define its meaning to you so late?
That when I am gone , you will search for me in every God’s created shape
And having had the taste of pinnacle galore, you would finally want to escape
Will you then know the difference between what was reality and forever fake?

Would you then bend down to feel the earth that I walked on in all braveness?
Would you then breathe the air passionately to feel my spirit , so shapeless?
Would you then want to wet the colors in your palette?
But only to make an impression of me on a white canvas

Destiny written in so much disregard will never give us our privileges
The intimacy of clean hearts will get consumed so deep to have never left any traces
So take the plunge while I last in so much of passion for you, from amongst so many faces

Fearless finally

I push the door open to let the fresh air come in
A pleasant breeze brushes across my face
Engulfs me in its aura like a slave
A smile parts my lips and I wonder where have you been

A hand reaches to help me out
To soak in the delirious sun
I take my first step a little anxious
I wonder will this end my emotional drought

I look at the sky so vivacious
I want to fly high and touch the clouds
Absolutely undaunted I want to run ahead
Get the lost back and let all my inhibitions shred

Dreams unfullfilled start to unwind
New ones getting woven
It still seems so far away
But now i can stand strong and yet be sure of the undefined
