Support whole life

I promised her to support whole of life
If she wished and joined me as wife
As always happens, she attached some conditions
Before making it final to strengthen the relation

I wished also that she ticks to me all the times
Never go away to any place but near by sometimes
It was binding agreement and we two singed
To stay together with happiness and resigned

She is not only beautiful woman of earth
But like moon needs praise of real worth
I longed to sit hours together before her
As I was over cautious and some thoughts compelled me to bother

I am confident of taking her responsibility
She too has trust in me and knows ability
She will jump upon me and sit on back
As if challenging and putting whole weight at stake

It is her mood and jolly nature
That may decide our complete future
She is simple but elegant and honorable lady
Willing to go extra miles with me and ready

I smiled and carried her on back
She leaned completely and served as whole pack
I had feeling of light weight and quietly enjoyed
She was secretly showing an anger but in real not annoyed

Ladies want to make it sure before committing
That they have bright future and fully shining
There is no let up in love and it is in safe hand
The journey will be happy one till comes to an end

I knew her mentality in secretly testing me
But she was right in believing and felt free
I gave her all kind of assurance and promised
That there won't be any breach or anything will be missed

Don't break up

We were drawn initially by outer show
I too was immature and did not grow
We threw all our lots to beautiful dreamland
Moved hand in hand freely in fairy’s land

Don’t breakup as I had been yours
Number of beautiful dreams was ours
We decided to make it heaven
We cared for little things even

It was never you who let me down
You always praised my eyes brown
You just preferred me and not by noun
You had promised me let go even crown

I found earth so wonderful
All ponds and rivers had water full
Nature too appeared fine and not dull
App appeared wonderfully nice and cool

Clear sky with glittering bright stars
Silver shining rays seemed with no distance far
Suddenly it became known it was going to dry
It was going different way I don’t know why?

I had heard many times happy relation end very soon
There was to be autumn for end of boom
Nothing was to be worked out in closed room
Happiness was to end with decadence of gloom

Nothing was moving on expected lines
Everything in doldrums with absolutely no fines
What was I to do with sudden “U-turn?
Watch its early demise and tearfully mourn

I had offered everything that was to be done
All with sincerity and sparing efforts none
Still it was proving hard nuts to crack
Life train was not moving and skidding off the track

Life can move on easily with two fine wheels
Clear understanding with powerful will
What efforts do I make to make it more worthwhile?
Simple devotion and to walk for an extra mile

I am almost pushed to the deep corner
I have explored all possibilities to garner
I am not sure of succeeding in new Endeavour
I only want his support and not simple favor

I think it is crucial that both should hold together
No worldly things influence us or bother
We try to follow and understand each other
Though it is very simple to inch further

The total mess should end up in healthy relation
Break up must be ruled out as out of question
How to move further should be the main criteria?
Not to woo each other or making fresh plea

I will hold it fast unto end of life
You need not prove to be an ideal wife
What may make it worth while and trust worthy?
There should be real trust and not simple apathy

Something different and unique

Live and let others live
Trust, assert confidently and believe
Impart what others can't give
Probe not the unknown fact and leave

This is fundamental and life's essence
Show new life and make known its presence
You have more to earn in giving
Believe in what you have and start living

Never ask anything in return
Give today and you may have your turn
You will not compelled to seek
It will strengthen your will and not make you weak

Not all can perform kind gesture
To some extent it affects their future
Nobody may like to part with little of their belonging
Yet it is considered by them as easy going

To feel donor is something unique
It is real call from kind heart and nice pick
If you can really do it with grace
You may find ever lasting shine on face

If you are in habit of doing it secretly
Then see to it that it is done very quietly
No one should get wind out of it and observe
As it is intended only for needy people to be served

My patience

I controlled my passion but could not
Tears forcefully contained but rolled out
I have strong will but failed this time
Attachment is such relation you fail sometimes

I had beautiful times good moments
I used to wait for him and remain present
He will sure come and close in
To embrace me and win

That was all good for me to find a friend
He had vowed to stay till the life end
I fell for him and vowed to stay together
He took my hand and promised not to bother

Today he is leaving me behind
Lone figure to wait and find
His fond memories and nice time
I hold my tears and think sometimes

What will he look like when come back?
Will our sweet life be at jeopardy or at stake?
What will he do if earned a lot fortune?
Will he maintain same relation with fine tune?

I slipped in to thoughtless dream
We had so far worked as team
He was to stand all the time by my side
As our horizon was vast and very wide

I wished him long and happy journey
I thought" it may be wish of almighty"
He is on the board of ship to cruise
To fulfill all the dreams and promises

I stayed at shore and witness
His ship sailing towards sea surface
Never ending and never disappearing
But sending me shock waves and fearing

I brush aside such thoughts
I wish all the good in life without being caught
It is part of the life and one must venture out for good
The philosophy of life must be clearly understood

Missed opportunities

Once opportunity missed means gone out of hand
Work remains undone as promised by friend
They are all missed and gone forever,
Will not come back again and lost for ever

Have you ever tried for bright carrier and success?
Constant thrust and work without any recess,
New avenues, areas and seeking complete access,
With calculated move without making excess,

Perfect seeding with good and honest intention
Sides all secured with full prevention,
Zeal coupled with enthusiasm for bright future,
Taking utmost care for ideas to nurture,

Never suffered a set back or even failure
Plugging all loop holes and making it sure
If today is missed then let it not tomorrow,
Happiness and joy on face not reflecting sorrow,

One step forward with two steps backward,
Journey should go on with aim forward,
No hurdles should block or make us to leave
Always look beyond………………….

Believe in self and work with own hands,
Never put blind faith even in friends,
May be not good but prove at the end,
Sufferings to be undergone with simple amends,

Today's work may not pave the way,
Bright future should have complete say,
Friends brought near and foe kept away,
Success to wed and failure not in pray,

There is no use crying over split milk,
If cotton is in store then why cry for silk?
Only concerted efforts with dedicated approach,
Why we need advice and lessons from coach?

Have a sense of good humour for good or bad,
Not to laugh at success and at failure not sad,
Uniform dealing at matters with determined will,
Success may lie at your feet but destiny not still

Wish and Pray

Wish and Pray
For permanent stay
In life, in move and in any corner
Try to water it like Gardner

Pledge and make it known
It is wish of your own
Come what may, we shall stay together
Knit the life in beautiful way not to wither

What else we do in our real life tenure
Strengthen the bond and make the future
Not all may be lucky to have everything
But one must be contended for some thing

Sometimes you compromise in selection
You are compelled to restrict your action
You go for something like stability
There it may prove your real ability

What is there to share and carry on?
Real problems to be faced and blown
Wish it continue with all the blessings
Try for all the best and prove good human being

A light of the day

I was weak and feeble to conceal
The feeling was intense and real
I could make it move with deal
It needed final approval and seal

It did not find the light of the day
It lighted but without powerful ray
Light could be seen but unable to find the way
Whom to hear? Whom to confide and to whom to say?

I felt for her and longed for closeness
She represented beauty and kindness
The moon reflected on her face
She was not at all in any race

What was she doing to world?
Silver rays with warmth and cold
Everybody wanted to go to her fold
‘Impossible to reach” as I was told

You are with your separate world
You rule there with complete hold
Surrounded by dimply light stars
No one wants to be near but stay very far

I fear for dreaming such unreality
I am sure for not showing any reality
It is still a golden desire
As I stand for it and admire

Can you hold firmly my hand?
Show it to all as our firm stand?
It makes me restless for complete night
How to show it to world that my stand is right?

I am not for shining moon?
I feel happy when see in the noon
Completely devoid of light and shine
Still it looks divine and fine

I am unable to control my thoughts
So many explorations are thought and sought
It does not come to any conclusion
At any cost I want her inclusion

Will her light burn me?
Will it make me feel so free?
This questions hound me for day and night
I have no will power to stay and fight

She has her own world and axis
She can search within and fix
How can she stretch so far and embrace?
She can’t be mine in any case

It is question of real and unreal
There may not be any upheaval
It is asking for unrealistic dream
It is like arresting the powerful beam

To love is not an unreal thing
As it has borne out of something
It was quest for searching the companion
It may end up with nice union

You may stay where ever you are
Though you may be away and very far
What love has to do with any distance?
When any one can have or draw the inference

You Promised Me

You promised not to hurt me,
You promised things were fine,
You promised that you loved me,
You promised you were mine.

You promised you meant what you said,
About our future love,
You promised that my heart could soar,
You said I was your dove.

You promised we would always laugh,
At our random lines,
You let me think I trusted you,
That you'd break my confines.

I put all my hope in you,
Because you promised me,
That you were my future,
That you would set me free.

As An Insult

I took it as an insult
It is was terrible and difficult
How can an earnest offer be declined?
Why does she not see reason and defined?

Well all those seasons were for me to analyze
She had pushed me in corner and generalized
I deserved her hand for life time stay
She gave me shock and preferred to be away

I gave thought from another angle
May there be some reasons with a love triangle
She has every right to be master of her destiny
I gave all the reasons fair try and left it to the almighty

Love was not that kind I understood
Neither was it tonic nor a food
But a strong bond to take one out of wood
If not then it was better to stay out for good

Love is not an isolated affair
That can’t be termed as fair
What you feel may not be good for her
Rather love her more but don’t force her to bother

You look at the sky and its vastness
Complete blue but no shine on face
No one may judge what is hidden in belt
This is the way how love is felt

It demands sacrifice and not words
Prepare for readiness and always look forward
No relation can be on rock unless strengthened
Some plants may come up if earth is dug or softened

Now I have every reason to be satisfied
At no stage she had compromised or lied
It was one sided feeling and deserved to be left
There was no let up in relation or complete shift

I consoled self and came to the terms
It was good to take decision and make turn
Who knows what can be good for future?
I left it to future course that may take place and assure

I starred

I stared at that glaring eye
Somehow I was attracted but don’t know why?
She had magic eye with magnetic pull
There prevailed peace and lull

I could see it inviting
Passion and love was fully igniting
It was tremendous pull from unknown direction
She stood there with amazing sill and action

I could see some tears rushing
She was hardly in control about pushing
It surfaced with great pain and surprise
Wanted full assurance with promise

She is princess of her own state
Even though the sadness has come very late
She was with all the comforts and luxury
Until pushed to deception and treachery

May be it was god sent chance
She had not seen me even at once
I was to become her adorable friend
With all the happiness and joy till the end

It is not that she was not beautiful
She was attractive but not at all deceitful
It seemed she wanted to be all for good and faithful
I closed eye and wished it to be successful

Her eyes wanted full assurance and guarantee
That she will be totally yokeless and free
Breathe in fresh air like cuckoo
And I was the one for her to woo

Not that all our wishes come true
Even if we try honestly and prove
But nothing can stop us to be real one
That position can’t be taken by anyone

I saw complete shine on her shining face
I could find no tears with any trace
She was all for smile as with new happiness
She was ready to fly with in complete readiness

I will certainly miss those eager eyes
I may not be able to stay even with strong and earnest try
But I would offer her wings to fly in direction
Where she finds complete joy and happiness with her action

All That I Hear

My head clearly ached for while
As he was far and away in miles
But I hand just hung up
After making brief talk and covered up

He was felt as if so near
I was turning confident with no fear
He was breathing near by
I had to just feel it without making any try

I need not murmur now
That was happening any how!
He was felt despite being miles apart
I was finding new light on the way to be a part

How great feeling it is!
It is not words of his
Yet they come as if from inner heart
Real feeling with beautiful start

I had chosen him not by look
But something special had struck
He was now ruling on whole of body
As if to become important and somebody

We may become one tomorrow
Yet that has to happen and be allowed
Yes I am sure of its happening it any time
I miss and die for him all the times

Water was deep and shallow
That must make me swim and allow
To float over it with nice dreams
And skillfully guided by sun beams

I am not sure of real love
Yet I hold on with trust and believe
That takes me away from pain and relieve
All bad thought now that can't deceive

I shall hold on and move
All apprehensions may be allayed and removed
He will be mine one day
And that I how I am dreaming away

Weight Of The World

I used to carry the weight of the world
On my back
I never trusted my friends or my girl
Can you imagine that
I used to shuffle my feet
When I walked I hung my head down low
Kept to myself all my private thoughts
But when I met you girl.
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world.
I knew some people used to dance all night
But not me
I never knew if it was wrong or right
To be so free
I used to close my eyes
And try to hide from the light of love
Spent all my time with the darkness inside
But when I met you girl.
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world.
I was alone for all of my life
I was alone for all of my life
I was alone for all of my life
I was alone for all of my life
Until you came my way
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world
I dropped the weight of the world
Weight of the world.

Sort of infatuation

I came back fast on net
I never wanted her to go or let
It was some sort of infatuation
But was not sure of real relation

It is gradual process in any development
But turns on to alter as happy moment
How one feels about other!
Dreams about to come true and bother

In young age you may term it as natural
Like spring it is welcome and comes as usual
But what about love in later stage of autumn?
When one thinks about beautiful flowers in garden

Oh! Is it called love of real nature?
I repeatedly asked self but was not sure
It created ripples and I turned cold
What would they term it in this selfish world?

I wrote about end of the road
When one is suddenly facing load
Love of young woman in life and its impact
Oh! God it is tremendous courage and powerful act

I think again and again
She is my mate and new concern
Life has made simple 'u' turn
I wan to come back to her in return

She has thought of my fading star
I shall soon be leaving very far
As destiny has narrow and wide angle
Soon it may create for her a trouble

I may dream about her till end
If not as permanent but special friend
That keeps my vigor and strength
In tact and prepares to go to any length

I now want to love and live more
She has given hope to explore
New horizons and new vast land
Where she and I can walk hand in hand

Fear grips me all of sudden
She has cared for me even
I now offer her complete faith
Till I breathe last at the time of death

The spirit inside weakens me
Allows me to come out of cage and feel free
It is same place and shade underneath the tree
Where I had dreamed about her as honeybee
‘
How do I dare to tell about secret?
Life has only few moments to set
It may take few more years
No one may believe even my own ears

I shall still be high in sky
Twinkling as star but feeling very much shy
What did I give her in return to her for life support?
I have no answer for it or to report

The light to go

I wished the light to go off never again
I had worried a lot as it was concern main
I was afraid of dark shadows in the night
The dark cloths were sending me in fear with no sight

The moon was slowing coming up in full size
It gave elegant look and beauty in aspect wise
There was not a little area where I could readily point out
Any thing with adverse feeling and talk about

We ran through open fields
The silver lines were appreciated and widely held
We were two in whole area to enjoy
She was in my arms with complete joy

She was carelessly hanging around
Her head was down on solder and inadvertently found
She was in complete agreement without a voice
I could see silence in zone without any noise

The leaves on trees made mo move
They were silently viewing it to approve
She was wise enough not to think about surroundings
It was natural move and secretly sounding

We were only two and none else was
In complete mood without feeling tense
Eyes were wide open to look at sky
Coming up with no surprise and naturally why?

I felt warmth in every move with coolness
Not to realize it would have been complete foolishness
Stars fell half way in sky at regular interval
It was as if brightening path at our arrival

We both knew it was an end of the winter
The summer was about to set in to completely alter
We may need to part as soon as it was over
The winter was nice refuge and provided fine cover

I heard her uninterrupted voice
It was her earnest wish and choice
To make the moon as witness and take pledge
To remain as one always and without any wedge

She was laid on grass and had no worry
I too was in complete harmony with no hurry
It was her redeeming night with readiness to make promises
Say per word to hear it without any single misses

I was not against her at all and endorsed
Nothing unusual to be done or forced
It was her kingdom today to be made open
With no restrictions and permission to reopen

Down the path moved river very silently
It was in total conformity which almost looked apparently
The water was making no sound to arouse any curiosity
It was the bless sing from nature and almighty

I took her hand and reminded her of cool night
Everything was moving as per her wish and was right
She seemed the natural reflection of original moon
As the flowers had not slept yet even though had full blossom

Jenny, my love

She used to be always there waiting
She did not want audience or dating
Yet she desired me and wanted me very near
She could not confess it out of fear

It is generation gap and she is progressive
She is very shy but bold and assertive
Not a single topic is untouched by her
She has repeatedly uttered it here

I confessed of having some attachment
She would not say anything and offer comment
I had left it entirely to her conscience
She was free to express from now hence

“Why don’t you visit my country and see your self”
Full of landscapes, beautiful mountains lovely beaches and shelf
I was dreaming about it and going down
She was spell bound and made it known

She smiled and offered me safe refuge
I had all along wished and could not refuse
She had poor back ground hence little hesitated
I was thrilled with whatever was told and related

Have you ever experienced love with age difference?
What can be learnt out of it with right inference?
Is it matter of shame or to be proudly claimed?
I felt it was not shame and not to be maimed

It might have little sex angle but not wholly
She understood the danger and spoke fully
It is neither her intent nor desire
She was there for me and wished only to admire

I had made myself little known
She felt me exclusively of her own
Love can not be one sided or false show
It had to be mushroomed and grow

I preferred not to look back and accept
Whatever she proposed with promises to be kept
We weighted pro and cons so later on not to be wept
After so many years of sultry isolation I enjoyed it and slept

What did she understand about the meaning of life?
Was it not hostile and dangerous to be on edge of knife?
What did she expect to be borne out of it as new comer?
Was she prepared to be bathed in hot sun and at the peak of summer?

Everything seemed irrelevant to her mind
She had eternal joy and fulfillment to find
I was to prove a crucial factor in coming days
It was her choice and go ahead with challenging days

I never found her sobbing or regretting
She was making her view known and letting
She was prepared what she termed it as real
There was no point in hiding for putting seal

Girl friend

It is beautiful to dream about girl friend
As world is wide and horizon has no end
Sky is limitless and youth is like wrong wind
It can flow in any direction and beautifully find

All quest ends with holy bond
You marry a girl which you are very fond of
A step in right direction to start new journey
Worry about future to earn more money

Still you have not come out of wonderful image
Cow boy feeling and to impress upon others with age
Still throwing all gestures to woo and seek friendship
Even though the safe anchorage has been done to life ship

It involved two tracks to make further move
Clear ability to handle affairs at home to prove
And any misgiving if arising then to remove
It is clear and neat art to demonstrate with love

God has made human mind like monkey's brain
Even if monkey gets old he will not forget to train
If chance is within reach then he will jump too in fray
Go as far as possible on branches and try to stay

I too liked idea like any other human being longed
Dreamed about beautiful relation and steps were wronged
Was that really a part of living?
Certainly not strong argument for believing

Human mind has skill of developing crooked mind
Many ready made excuses will emerge and be found
But one thing remains certain and disgusting too
"Girl friend along with wife is not at all true"

It can't be said or equated with art of living
It can be termed as compromise for believing
Person may feel little relief from extra marital affair
But in real terms it can't be termed as fair

For certain reasons if it is agreed to with consent
Some of the doubts and apprehension may remain absent
Childless stage or incurable disease can be termed as one of the reasons
But it certainly depends on the stubborn thinking of a person

Beauty Queen

You are beauty queen
We have never scene
Such a natural flower
As if emerged after rainy shower

You look smart
That appears from very start
You look best in curly hair
Looking lovely and very fair

In your outer show
You are superb with fine glow
But be cautious and go slow
As you still have miles to go

You are still not mature
Uncertain about carrier and future
Many hurdles still to cross over
You may need fine shelter or cover

You want to be gorgeous woman
That may certainly be liked by man
But be aware of imitation
That shows no real reflection

Beauty may be on wane after sometime
That shall be missed by many after sometimes
You may feel bad over lost fragrance
That may be over with young age at once

Be happy with whatever you have
God has given you kind nature to behave
Enjoy your mood with plenty of resources
You are nice woman and real force

My Mother

Mom never differentiated between children
She was going out of her way even
But since I was eldest out of all
She will surely take me with love and affectionately call

Very funny and smiling as I was in childhood
People loved me at my visiting places in neighborhood
Mother will scold me and warn not to go so often
But I may disregard her advice and simply move on

She did everything to bring me up with all kindness
She never bore fatigue or any kind of uneasiness
Her face may remain bright all the time with smile on face
I used to watch here number of hours and suddenly chase

She was always worried about my growing age
What I will be doing in life when suddenly left out of cage
I may not fare well and will harm the future
She was little worried but didn't know for sure

People used to call me naughty and troublesome
Even though I wore innocent smile and looked handsome
They may let me go without any complaint to mother
But mother knew it all and that continued her to bother

I had tears in eyes when I saw her completely aged
Even though she is same as was before but nearly managed
After so many years of away from her I missed every moment
I didn't let her down later on and acted wise for all the movements

She may smile secretly and put a pat on the back
'You were only my concern and source of worry'
She may pull me near and shower all her feelings
I was luckiest person among all to have her as blessings

When I was back from my recent assignment
I did find her in complete ill health with difficult movements
I could hardly stop self and went over to her forehead
Pasted a gesture of fulfillment and tried to read

She was all for praise and smiled
I was not taken up seriously for a while
Today she is less concerned for me than all
I take her with me for evening walk and stroll

Unwed Mothers Pain

she was so young and mistook infatuation for love
and to her boyfriend she gave herself freely.
to her shock and gloom -a child was in her womb.
she told her boyfriend of what she discovered.
to hear him say 'it must be from another'
i am too young to marry
this problem you'll have to carry.

her friends turned their backs in dismay
they did'nt know just what to say.
when she told her family-they responded coldly.
' why did you make this mistake-now its far too late.
love is not the opening of your thighs.
now you'll have to hide that baby which you carry inside.'

abandoned by friends and family, when they were needed most.
she kneeled and prayed to the FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST.
she recalled the words which were told to her.
'abort or abandon'
is this what you have to say?
but! my child there is no other way!

in her heart she knew that it 'could not be'
that god wanted her to abandon this baby
so with determination she began to pack
she would go elsewhere-there was no turning back.

she knew that she did not have enough education
to do what she wanted to do.
but she promised this child that
'i'll make a life for me and you'

sitting at a bus stop-bags in her hand.
she met this woman all dressed in blue with soft tender eyes.
she told her -her story, and then began to cry.
this woman put her arm around her and said
'fret not my child-you can stay with me for a while.'
with hope in her heart-she went with this lady.

found a job and continued with school.
and promised herself that no one else would
take her for a fool.

nine months later she did give birth
to a baby girl with beautiful blue eyes, and her skin so white.
and above her head was a shining bright light.
so she named her after this woman who took her in.
i'll name you Mary with the beautiful white skin.

time went by quickly and graduate she did.
she gave this child the love that was always in her heart
and her career became a very big part.
she thanked God for this lady who gave her -her start.
this beautiful lady with a kind tender heart.

the years passed quickly and mary started to grow
more beautiful than you'll ever know'
she came home from work on a cold snowy day
to find that lady mary had passed away.
she honored this lady the best way she could.

by opening her home to unwed mothers and anyone
in despair'
and named this home 'marys lair'.
and now when she tells the story she says
'mother mary always dressed in blue
my doors are open because of you'

so always keep faith in your heart and mind.
God listens! it just takes time.

The Weight You Carried from the Start, My Friend...

At Genesis we sang, learned to hold hands
And then abandoned one, the other too
Disappearing through the world, men strange and new

Unable to express the loss, to sing or cough
Or even to admit the weight
We carried down the road, inside a common soul

That space, that place of emptiness
To which some part within us fell, since we let go
The grip we held when juvenile and brave

We would not give it voice, to comfort
And assist, that it was both of us who bore
The weight and felt the loss the same

We could not ask, what kind of love, my friend,
Among loves manifold, are we?
What love is worthy of our name, what place

In you is that cold corner where I lay?
Will you once lift a hand to find
And touch the place in me?

When we were teens, I kissed your future wife
And now thirty years on, it's late, as you
Might say, to make a fuss of life

And I've been scared, I've never dared
To push on your home gate
To ask if you remember where

We put these heavy things, and if
They can be disinterred
To celebrate our love again.

To England I returned, and watched the birds
Above you, as you hauled the weight of all
The expectation and uniqueness of your soul

Your back and talents hurt like hell.
My weight is less, don't be afraid, I'll bring
My new creations lightly to your side.

(For D.P.)
