Forget-Me-Nots
Not for you the red roses of love
No the yellow roses of friendship
I send you the forget-me-nots that bloomed
In the garden of my heart
Nourished by the waters of my love
I send you this and nothing more and I know for sure
That you will keep them in the depth
Of your heat forever to stay…………….
Deception
When I was in love,
I thought it was the best
I loved and loved and loved
But, suddenly, things went wrong
I didn’t cry, I didn’t hate
But, I learnt,
“Love is a blunder
A great great blunder”
Goverining
Emotions are the emperors
In the empire of the heart
No wars, no mutiny
But revolutions!
No discussions, no principles
But decisions!
It is not that
The empire is a failure
But the emperors
Are in trouble
A prayer in the prospect of death
O Thou unknown, Al mighty Cause
Of all my hope and fear!
In whose dread presence, ere an hur
Perhaps I must appear!
If I have wander’d in those paths
Of life I ought to shun
As something, loudly in my breast
Remonstrates I have done
Thou know’s that thou hast formed me
with passions wild and strong;
And list’ning to their witching voice
Has often led me wrong
Where human weakness has come short
or frailty sept aside
Do Thou, Add-Good_for such Thou art
In shades of darkness hide
Where with intention I have heard
No other plea I have
But, Thou art good; and goodness still
Delighteth to forgive
Encounter
I was just leaving the book shop
When I descried
Someone familliar in the distance
My old flame
My heart’s deepest obsession
Amid the hive of commuters
Walking back and forth
As the lovely apparition
Was nearing me
I blinked quite a few times
Woundering if I was having a reverie
Before I was certain
That it was my lovely lotus herself!
For a pleasurable fleeting second
Her eyes met mine
Filling my mind
With magnificent memories from the past
Before she broke the spell
By averting her eyes
And sauntering past me
As if totally mindless of the presence
Of me, her poor, persistent wooer;
Yet, I caught a glimpse
Of her lovely, fair face
Which had never ceased to enthral me
Despite the problems
We’d had in the past
And felt the flame of passion
Re-kindle itself
In my heart
As I savoured the moment!
The Clue
When I called you
By your full name
I saw you give a swift start
And watched in glee
The delightful astonishment
Mirrored on your face
“How did you get to know
My full name??”
“He who seeks shall find it!”
I quipped like a preacher
Wondering whether you had caught my clue
And the other meaning
Of what I had just so simply said
You grinned delight
Like an impressionable little girl
Just as your eloquent eyes told mine
“I caught your clue, my dear mad boy
I know what it exactly meant!”
To Sir with Love
You were my Sir and
I was your favourite student
It was a memorable day in my life
The day you came to my life
3rd of August 1986
I still can remember the loving way
You looked at me
Day by day you became closer
To my heart
I gradually loved with all my heart
Which ended in a nervous breakdown
I sacrificed my whole life for you
Where no other girl did for you
Which you never understood
When you approached me I ignored
You not because I didn’t love you
But because I was shy
You showed your love in various ways
In 1986, 1987 and 1988
Which I didn’t respond
Now I am single again
Dear are you still feeling the
Same about me…….?
I still have the red rose you gave me
If you still care, dear
I’ll be waiting for you
Life and love
Life is a rapid waterfall
Love is a wave on it
Some times it gives a tear
When it both combines
We’ll be feeling happiness
Rather than saddness
