SMS Rhymes

When I'm feeling unsure about all that I believe inside,
When I've hurt all my foolish pride,
I wish she were here to chide,
And show me the way back to the bright side...

SMS Rhymes

1. I wonder how you teach me so much,
Some lessons that no one else can teach,
I wonder how depths in me you can touch,
Some places that even I can’t reach,
And of all, you are closest to me as such,
Walking beyond walls no one else can breach!

2. Stop this moment from running away,
It gives me just a fleeting glance,
There is so much to be done, so much that I need to say,
I don’t wanna leave anything to chance,
Can you hold it frozen for me in any way,
All I want is one more dance…


3. There are times when I truly feel alive,
When all my senses are active and my emotions thrive,
Anger and peace, angst and joy,
Moments when I smile, moments when I cry,
And a reason for all my emotions I find,
In a friendship that us together does bind,
And these days are spent in waitng,
For the next time that we will be meeting…

SMS RHYMES

In my dreams, she drops by,
Sometimes to talk so much, sometimes to just say hi,
Aimlessly to nowhere we're walking,
It's a conversation but I dunno what we're talking,
Meeting her feels so good,
I'd never let go of this moment if I could,
My eyes then do open and i see my own ceiling,
And I wish so much, that I wasn't just dreaming!

1. If everything is well without anything significant on my part, how insignificant am I?

2. If it isn't well, it isn't the end...but what if it is well...is that the end???

To have You for Life!

I have always wondered what you would be like,

When we speak, what kinda conversation would we strike,

I have always wondered about that first impression I’ll make,

Worried that I might goof it all up with a big mistake,

I have always planned about what we might do together,

Someday maybe we’ll dance in the rains or cuddle up in chilly weather,

I have always thought that for you I will always do what is right,

That I would never be upset, bicker or pick a fight,

I have always dreamed of a perfect romance,

To plan everything and never leave much to chance,

But mum says nothing good happens after 2 a.m.,

And she is right, I might never be the same again,

Cause I know now that life isn’t about keeping everything in place,

That I can be upset and I don’t have to always make a straight face,

I wanna show how much for you I care,

So many emotions that with you I’ll share,

All those moments of happiness and fun,

I’ll treasure ‘em all, from rain and sun,

I want to give you excuses in so many ways,

And I don’t want you for years or months or weeks or days,

When you breathe your last, I wanna feel the strife,

I wanna know what it feels, to have you for life…

Poet for Sale!

So many emotions, so many thoughts,
Sometimes they flow and sometimes not,
So many battles that within me are fought,
Lessons that I learn, in ways that can never be taught!


So many a smile, so many a sigh,
Sometimes that I wanna give up and cry,
So many failures and yet always another try,
Falling down hard and learning to fly!


So many truths, so many lies,
Sometimes that there isn’t anyone to hear my cries,
So many lows and so many highs,
Drowning in depths only to be rescued by those eyes!


So many ideas, so many views,
Sometimes that I can’t distinguish the hues,
So many grays and so many blues,
Scratching I fight to loosen the screws!


So many a footprint, so many a trail,
Sometimes in my youth that I’ve been feeling frail,
So many contradicting emotions...so many that to put in words I now fail,
Needing a savior, I put this poet up for sale!!!



P.S. Just for the record...18 days since i put this up and no takers!!! Well as they say, "If no one claims in 30 days, finders keepers!" (so i guess i get to keep myself! hehe...)

सभी बातें कानों से नहीं सुनी जातीं, आँखें बंद कर के कोशिश करो, सन्नाटा भी सुनाई देगा!


Translated:
"You don't need your ears to listen to everything, close your eyes and concentrate, you'll hear the silence!"

It obviously doesn't sound too great in English which is the reason I hadn't put it up earlier...

SMS RHYMES

I can't always find a paper to pen down my rhymes so often they are typed on my phone...there are a lot of them that I keep writing for my friends, felt like putting up a few select ones here...

1.>

Suddenly powerless, suddenly prone,

Suddenly I doubt all I have known,

Suddenly I can’t find my strength anymore,

Suddenly emptiness is knocking at my door,

Suddenly now I feel so weak,

Suddenly all my courage, is running down my cheek…

2.>

Years that her I have known,

With each passing day, closer we have grown,

And yet somedays, a stranger in her I see,

The same way that she can even in me,

But the best part of what we share,

Is in knowing how much for each other we will always care…

3.>

Seen you fight your battles all alone,

Smiling you take every blow that is thrown,

Never a flinch, never a sigh,

Never have they seen your head not held high,

But you can’t lie to me and you can’t hide,

Around me you can’t put up a façade of pride,

Cause on my shoulder I have seen you weak,

I’ve seen all your courage run down your cheek…

The GUYS AND GIRLS EQUATION

                I have spent more than a considerable amount of my awakened existence in trying to understand human relationships. Although by my own admittance, my research on the matter is far from complete, there are a few keen observations I have made especially about 22-25 year-olds. I suppose since I have reached a substantial conclusion about this particular age group, I could well put up my observations here.

                First the guys… Guys will always crib and complain about girls being indecisive, unsure and subject to perennial mood swings but as far as relationships go, guys are a little worse off than girls. Guys will fall in love with a woman who is so unlike the woman of their dreams, they don’t realize they are in love! They will then spend their days convincing themselves that she isn’t the ‘one’ and that they are incompatible. Left to themselves, they will never admit they are in love to themselves leave alone the girl they are in love with! Unless friends counsel them of it, they will in all probability let her walk away without ever professing what lies in their hearts! (Well, since you don’t accept it to yourself, there isn’t a question of confessing is there?) The ironic part is, they realize it when she has already walked by and moved on!

                In the occasion that through the counsel of friends they do acknowledge and profess their love or the rarer occasion that the girl herself reckons it is time to take control and is the one to profess, guys will be the uttermost idiots. Suddenly, after a lifetime of having dreamt of living with that one woman, they develop a commitment phobia! A million reasons (all of them baseless and useless) will crop up, from issues like incompatible families to we both want different things. Get real! She is the one! You let her go now and by the time you realize your folly, it will be tooooooo late!

                Now the girls… Girls are pretty much sure about whom they want to spend their days with! If they set their hearts on one person, come what may, they will not change their decision. The guy could be a womanizer, a prick or simply moronic but the girl will never view the faults, heck girls are so weird, they fall in love with the faults!

                But they aren’t without fault themselves. Most girls try subtlety as their most powerful weapon. They shower all their unshakable trust in the guy and expect the guy to understand that the show of faith in itself is a positive sign. I mean, yeah sure, it is a positive sign but god damn it, you shower the same kinda trust in your best friend! How the heck are guys supposed to know you love them? Guys hate subtlety and women need to understand that. Guys aren’t intelligent creatures blessed with an understanding of the finer elements, they are slow dumb creatures who can see no further than you show them! Take an example and show the guy stars (I mean the one’s in the sky, take him to the rooftop at night and show him the stars. Even if you live in Bombay and the night sky isn’t exactly lit up by stars, please do not bonk him in the head!) and all they will see are white dots. They cannot for all their lives, see the constellations or the heart that you are drawing with your finger. We can nod in agreement but only to appease you… Please do be a little more upfront about your views and feelings with guys!

                Final advice to both girls and guys…if you spend most of your waking hours thinking about someone, you are definitely in love. When you find love, please be kind enough to acknowledge it and please, do not try to find excuses as to why it wouldn’t work out but try to find all the reasons it should…commitment fits really beautifully, you should try it on for size! All the best!
