You make me feel special.

I miss you cos,

You never stop talking.

I miss you cos,

You never judge me.

I miss you cos,

I miss you cos,

You make me feel that all good things on earth, start with me.

I miss you cos,

Someone.

I want someone who'd stand with me -

The day I lose my degree,

The day I lose my teen.

I want someone who'd hold me close -

Despite the skills, I've always lacked,

Despite the dark days, I have treaded past.

I want someone who'd love me true!

Not for my charm, nor the curves,

Not for my cleavage, nor the verve.

I want someone who'd wish me luck -

Even if it would take me away,

Even if my return delayed.

I want someone who'd kiss me to sleep -

Who would, for me, stay awake

Who would never, to me, be fake.

I want someone who'd wipe my sweat -

Before asking for the money I'd kept,

Before reminding me of unpaid debts.

I want someone who'd see my soul right through -

Who had loved me before I was born,

Who would love me when I'm gone.

I have found that soul, that someone in you!

I find the solace you offer, a boon!

I'd be blessed to be born again, in your womb!

A prayer.

Lucky are those who can die for love - true!

I would, like to lay down my life, for you.

For no amount of money, no amount of joy

Seems to take away my tears, when I am lonely, my boy!

I may sound insane, crazier by the day,

But I'm a well-wisher, so don't run away!

If you had loved me once, kindly remember to pray -

To God, to keep your thoughts outta my mind and way...!

Dedicated to Aswin Rao. A wonderful person I met, chatted and became great friends with, over the span of a weekend :)

I have been smiling all day through...

Each hour feels special, each moment new.

Looking back at life, I know such days were few,

I’m happy I came across such a wonderful man – you!

You care for me like you were always there!

You stand guard, as if no one better dare!

It leaves me wondering if life had been fair -

Keeping us away, not knowing where we were.

Am grateful to that moment which made us friends.

I treasure for life, each instant we spend.

Wherever I’d go wrong, you should step in and mend,

I’d hope against hope that this bond never ends!

I write this so you know, I’m true and intense.

I mean it when I say, ‘Dear, be my defense…’

Whenever I’m lonely I’d come to you, to vent.

For you are a blessing, heaven carved out and sent!

Actor.

Don't be carried away by my smile,

I was shedding tears until some while.

I carry myself with some grace and style,

I rarely hear the music, yet you'll find me jive!

I was no born actor, but knowing I am mortal,

Not waiting for rewards, nor longing for laurels,

As a girl, a sister, a lover, a daughter -

I played along tough roles, whatever life offered.

A day will come. when I can redeem

Whatever I'd wished for, whatever I'd dreamed

For that day I wait, will wait, whatever it means.

To smile from my soul, leaving behind whatever had been.

365 Days.

This is my 70th blog post.

Today I complete a year at blogging. It feels so less, yet it feels like so much!

A year is not long, considering it takes only a few moments to change believes, change people and change lives!

Cacoethes.

The winds whisper in my ears

As rain drops wipe away my tears

This beautiful night, I feel no fear

As I stay awake, thinking of you dear!

You have taken away the pain

And any reason for me to cry again.

I will not crib any more in vain

I will live life, without disdain.

We will be together - for long and true

And smile through phases - both bright and blue

Have fights at times, but very few

Yet never say sorry! Nor bid adieu.

As wrinkles grow on and leave me worried

You'd remind me of our days of glory.

We will blush as we unfold treasured memories

Which we will pass on as our cherished stories.

I wouldn't know what tomorrow has in store

But I pray I'd always love you more!

For you always rank first in my wishes galore

And know, I always leave ajar my door.
