Wooing a girl...

(Some poems that were written to woo someone special...what happened? Well, still waiting to find out!)

What might I say, to let you know why I'm scared,
To take a bold step to you, why I haven't dared,
Why I sit here, wondering about you,
Would we ever be more than just strangers we once knew,
I sit far away but wonder what might be,
If I dared to take a chance and set my heart free,
Of you my mind dreams and feels a little rush,
Wondering what you'd do, if you knew of my little crush...

It feels so good to wake up in the morn,
When you've had sweet dreams, all night long,
The eager infatuation, of a little boys crush,
Blended with desires of a young man's lust,
And the dreams linger on though its past mid-day,
From the boring confines of work, they carry me far away,
I play with the hope that maybe they'd come true,
And happily I carry on, dreaming of you!

In these last waking moments, just before I fall asleep,
I'm drowned in your thoughts, that over me, slowly do creep,
As my thoughts slowly transform and become your dreams,
I'm smitten by you and my happy heart beams,
I tuck myself in, turn off the lights,
And submit gladly to your dreams, for I know, its gonna be a wonderful night!

Sitting in an office and I'm supposed to be at work,
But my mind ain't quite in it, all their tasks it shirks,
And I feel like such a silly old fool,
I've hardly known you and yet, over you I drool,
Worse, I find myself confessing my thoughts,
For I love this feeling and all the joy you've brought,
Dreaming and fantasizing, with your thoughts I play,
And I really mean it when I tell you, you make my day!

Another of my attempts in Hindi...

Ke tumse kya hum bolen,
Kyon hum kehte hue darte hain,
Ke in nainon ko kaise hum joden,
Jo ye ishq hum chupke karte hain...

Kya alfaaz bayan karen,
Ke haal-e-dil hum hi na jaanen,
Kaise ye tumse hum keh dein,
Jo doori mein bhi yeh dil bas aap hi ke khwaab hai paale...

I'm lost in your love, your lust and all that is you,
You've painted my world in such a wonderful hue,
But you've loved me so that I hate being apart,
These miles that separate, tear away at my heart,
Alone at home, lost in your dream,
I picture your prettiness that with radiance does gleam,
And all the miles that separate, disappear when I'm dreaming of your pretty face,
Only trouble is, gee-whiz, I'm dreaming away all my days!

The Creek...

Everyday, when the train passes over this creek,
I look in awe, at where the river and the ocean meet,
I always wonder if the river knows where it ends,
Or If the ocean knows where it's infinity begins to transcend...

I look at the marshes and I look at the mangroves,
Wondering why the groves stand in the marsh despite all the throes,
Is it for the white cranes that nest in the trees,
Or their little chicks hiding and playing in the leaves?

I sit alone on the bridge today and watch the river flow,
Out into the distance, into the sunset's glow,
Its a wonderful sight that brings it's audience to a smile,
As he sits here in solitude, on a Sunday with plenty of time to while...

This one ideally should've come with the pic of the creek but somehow, I forgot to click one yesterday whilst sitting there...ironic, considering how much I love my new phone and it's awesome camera! Such is life...or is that me???

A little nostalgia @work!

It's 10.30 in the morn & I'm just a little nostalgic,
Was it the coffee or your dream that did the trick?
I stare blankly at my screen as some old memories run through my head,
I can still picture us in the quad, eating sugar sprinkled toasted bread...

T'is an early morning lecture, and obviously we're running late,
I'm lost in some thoughts, playing with the food in my plate,
I look up, see you walk in, your swagger holding my gaze,
You flash your smile at me, and i know it's gonna be a wonderful day...

We sit, we talk and we know neither wants to go to class,
And we know we're goin to a movie as soon as we're through with the
coffees in our glass...
And then the phone buzzes bringing me back to where I dont wanna be,
And i'm wishing so much you were here, there's this movie that with
you I really wanna see!

Much to Write...so little time!

The writer's block has gone...there's so much to write! I just dont have the time!
Damn it...well, I hope the fact thatI have the qwerty phone now, means I shall be able to at least try and post something here more often! Or at least, that is the hope!

And I'm in love...and completely SEXX2ed up!

I've had my eyes on this pretty thing for about 3-odd months...but I knew she was out of my league by quite a bit so I buried all my passion and resorted to simply gawking at her from a distance...then I had a windfall...and I finally went ahead an indulged in her...and man I gotta tell you, she's awesome! Everything I ever dreamed of! Can't keep my hands off her at all! I'm fidgeting with her all the time, discovering something new every time I have her in my hands...ooohhh...I wonder, is this what they call lust?

:P

This one had a lotta potential to be legendary but I wasn't quite in the mood to write something awesome...but here it is, essentially a manifestation of my mood and my emotions...

Life's changed quite a bit,
I've learnt how to face adversity with grit,
I've learnt what it's like to take long walks in leather shoes,
Learnt to love lonely walks instead of wishing I walked in twos,
But most of all, I've learnt that meeting you doesn't quite mean the same to me,
You've changed quite a bit too and I don't love you anymore, just your memory...

Many before did try, many before did fail,
To walk the untread path, before taking the beaten trail,
My first taste of their moolah and I think I did enjoy,
I think I'm gonna falter, I think I wanna believe their lie!!!
(Payday... *first* payday!!!)

Love me now...

Love me now, even if it's only a lie,
I'd find solace, that at least you did try,
So when I think of you, at least I won't cry,
Perhaps, may be, heave, just a little sigh...

Love me now, even if it's Just hollow,
I'd find comfort, that at least for a while, me you did follow,
So when I dream of you, my dreams wouldn't be so shallow,
Perhaps, may be, the lumps in my throat, I'd swallow...

Love me now, if even for a day,
I'd find my peace, that at least briefly, you came my way,
So sleepless, in your wake, when in my bed i lay,
Perhaps, may be, I'd find the three words, I need to hear, I need to say...
