Some Sonnets

Another Chance

Trapped under the chores of life
Pressures, tensions, daily strife
Couldn’t wait, Couldn’t stop
Challenges nonstop
You were the wind, you were the breeze
You were always there to put me at ease
My smile, your life’s quest
I realize now; my heart smiled at your behest
You were my sun, you were the moon
My god’s gift, you were the boon

You were my heart, oh sweetheart
Can’t believe with you I part
Scared and aghast
I ran at last
What I left, what I lost
I want another chance to erase that past
I loved you then, I love you now
Will show you how
If you but allow
The rest of my life, I vow.

Priceless Images

Memories
Are ghosts of the past
Feelings
Go deep as the ocean vast
Flashes and flashes
Flicker and shimmer
Some hot whiplashes
Some delightful glimmer
The story of our lives
In just Images……Priceless!

Every step, every stage
Challenges are faced
No matter the age
A set of choices
None right or wrong
Just how well you sing that song
Trying to stay afloat among plenty
On hindsight everything is 20/20
The story of our lives
In just Images……Priceless!

------------------------------------------------

The emptiness, the silence,
The dark dead end wall;
Should I succumb, should I surrender?
Should I give in to them all?

Mediterranean Romance

The bright blemish-less sky
The depth of your eye
The Mediterranean hue
Everything is clear blue

A stroke from my paint brush
The early morning hush
Waking up in your warm embrace
I find me in an ecstatic place

You filled all the cracks
I stopped looking at the flashbacks
You healed all the hurt
Life now is one big dessert

Love heals
Love reveals
That life is worth more than one chance
Worth more than a look askance
Everything thanks to you, my romance.

25 Random Things About Moi!!!!

I just noticed this note flying around Facebook with all the cool, uncool and nerdy ones doing this...........Wherever I saw there was this note giving me the come hither looks and yes I admit I capitulated enough to make an attempt to write the same.

25 random things about me for all who were jobless enough to wander to this page and moronic enough to read it......(snigger snigger)....Mean me......!!!!!


1) I am LAZEEEEEE.....I decided to write this 3 weeks ago, wrote the title and saved the draft a week ago, actually started 4 days ago and posted it today....Need any more evidence???

2) I think Micheal J Fox is one of the cutest son-of-a-guns around in the world. Don't ask me to elaborate further for your own health.

3) Time and again I obsess over the question " Did I throw a coin over my shoulder into the Fountain De Trevi in Rome?"

4) I think I threw the coin facing the fountain and not over my shoulder. Legend has it that if you throw a coin over your shoulder into this fountain you will visit Rome again and I sooooo desperately want to go back there again and hence the obsessing part.

5) I think I do not like much of reality. That would probably explain why I like Fantasy Fictions to the hilt. I simply loved the Twilight Series, Harry Potter Series and Aisling Grey Guardian series.

6) I diss the Inheritance trilogy and the Dark matters omnibus. But yes, the concept was good...nevertheless if I wanted to read so much of physics I would have done a goddamn B.Sc in physics.

7) At the cost of repeating myself, I repeat - I love the Harry Potter Series. JKR rules....but naming Harry's second son Albus Severus is where I draw the line.

8) I hate Delhi'ites. If you are one and you are reading this and it hurts your feelings.....well.......ah.....I don't give a rats arse.

9) I suck at invention. All the poems and stories in my blog have a personal episode behind it. I can't concoct even if my life depended on it.

10) Italy is my home away from home and I wouldn't be satiated short of another 50 trips in the least.

11) I will only marry that guy who will take me on a month long honeymoon in Europe; Italy, Greece mandatory. ( Other requirements are that he be less than 30 yrs old, 6ft tall and drop dead handsome :P )

12) One of my complaints in life is that - After 2 Masters Degrees in USA, and hordes of friends from all nations, I do not boast of a single Gay friend. Now what else should a girl do to get herself the perfect best friend????

13) I fell asleep while making this list up.

14) My father is the first brightest star I can see from my bedroom window.

15) Me thinks Euphemism is fun at times.

16) If anybody has any preconceived notions about me which are totally not me, I move sun and moon to make sure that's how they see me till the day they cough up and die.

17) I firmly believe that humanity's greatest illusion is the belief that you can change a fellow human being.

18) I think for every 18 years of the female species, the male needs to be 120 years for a match in the intellectual and emotional maturities. That's why we never get the perfect man for us....They are all dead and underground by the time they are perfect for us.

19) I am NOT a feminist. Feminism advocates the theory of equality of the sexes. I believe the sexes can never be equal. Females are unarguably superior.

20) I like riling up people. I believe the utterly secure can never be riled.

21) I have the memory of an elephant. I never forget ever. When I say I have forgotten something people know I am lying ( Do not use this point for simple day to day affairs. It is perfectly okay for me to forget where I misplaced the TV remote); which also explains why I suck at lying and concoction. For more clarifications refer to point 9 in this list.

22) Edward is my name for the perfect man on earth. I think an Edward exists for every female on Planet Earth.

23) I am waiting for my Edward.

24) I believe my fairy tale expectations in life and romance are foolish on my part given my experiences with the reality of life.

25) Nevertheless I still have fairy tale expectations and I believe in the goodness of people. And yes I know that I am a fool.



Cheers,

A Dream

Enough of poems people....My attempt at a song

I have a dream in my eye

All the longings and a sigh!

Wish it were true my oh my

It’s resounding in my cry

I’ve worked so hard

I’ve come so far

Yet am no near

Haven’t lost all my fear

Its killing me oh yes it is; All the waiting

Frustrations, demonstrations, allegations, agitations;

Wanna replace ‘em all

With outstanding ovations

I have a dream in my eye

All the longings and a sigh!

Wish it were true my oh my

It’s resounding in my cry

At times I lose hope

Think of giving up

Everything is a test of endurance

I’ll strive to carry on

I don’t wanna take the easy route

The challenge is in getting there

Am choosing hope against hope

And am gonna make it there

I have a dream in my eye

All the longings and a sigh!

Wish it were true my oh my

It’s resounding in my cry

A Single Day Late!

Was browsing the net and accidentally got lost....came across this poem in a Philippines website...


we were friends,

we had been for so long,
but i wanted something more,
and it didn't feel wrong

i felt that i needed you,
and now i know i do,
but fate is my enemy,
because i truly love you

i never could tell you,
i thought you were taken,
how could i have so,
foolishly mistaken

that all that time,
that i loved you,
you had felt the same way,
and loved me too

the secrets i carried,
you carried as well,
and i would have carried them,
to the depths of hell

for you.
for you.

now i love you,
and i burn against fate,
for i declared my love,
a single day late

you looked to the floor,
and i asked what was wrong,
and the truth spilled out,
but it didn't take long

to realize that you'd,
felt the very same way,
and loved me the same,
but for one single day

you'd finally accepted,
i would never love you,
and gave up on me,
because you never knew

that every time I touched
you I cried,
and when I said I liked to be friends
I lied,

I want you so badly,
I've just myself to hate,
for i was oblivious,
and a single day late

just a single day late.

so if you ever love someone,
and they just don't know,
tell them and tell them,
and just tell them so

because worse than rejection,
and never having met,
is the most horrible feeling,
of having regret

i can't go back,
i can't change a thing,
but you've still a chance,
so do it for me

get up and call them,
or go for a walk,
i ruined my chance,
when i could've talked

all that time,
we'd felt the same way,
but she left me alone,
just a single day late

so tell them right now,
please don't hesitate,
because just one day could be,
a single day late

Pell - Mell Thoughts

There are times when my imagination goes zoom full speed....poems, articles, scripts, thoughts, all float around in the small cramped space that I carry on my shoulders all day....And then Zilch! Its all gone......Nothing there any more...no thoughts no feelings nadaa....nothing to share nothing to tell....I panic; Wondering why there are long gaps between my works....


On one hand, I try to console myself into believing that I write when lightning strikes, when the ground beneath trembles, when the moon is a blue hue, when doves cry --- Have you people caught on or do I need to ramble any more??? Lol...Basically when I feel strongly, passionately about something....But then shouldn't a writer also have a dispassionate element within? A writer should be able to write about anything right? Or have I got my concepts wrong and am mixing journalists with writers??????

What can be a source of inspiration? 'Tis true, its a matter of perception. It could be a bird singing, a child smiling, a boring class, roomie's snore.......All of Europe's dazzling beauty invoked nothing in me to write.......All of America's splendor sparked nothing in me to color this virtual canvas with......As I tread the tiny stone bridge that connects to stone steps leading to my apartment complex, I stop a moment to watch the fall colors on the trees and the puny stream that flows amidst them below the bridge, I think of my mom, my friends and the heart I've left behind and I feel the longing to pen the emotions......I am online, chatting with Ting and our conversations cover the important, the unimportant and the utter nonsense and in her smile and our memories I find the spark to light a flame in me which connects the thousand dots before my eyes to make a picture........In my lonliness, I cover my ears to stop the shouts of my past that haunt me on some nights, the madness, the pain, the tearful rain; all the mumbles of my nightmares become poetic words with which I decorate my present.....
Inspiration! You cant find it.....It finds You.................!!!!!

Impish Delights!

It was a dull gloomy day in June
'Twas her smile, as bright as the Moon;
I saw her by the bulletin board,
It caught my eye, the vision and lights,
Showed me a hint of all the impish delights.

Girl friends and confidantes we soon became,
Stood by each other, hurdles we overcame,
Pranks and naughtiness galore;
We matched our wits, even had cat fights,
Evening and Nights; all the impish delights.

Fell in love, got our hearts broken,
Consoled each other, Said or Unspoken,
In a depressed moment, I cried out to my lost love,
She said “Twas for the best that it’s over, Needn’t be stuck on one forever”;
“Scores of Handsome boys and Celebrities to ogle all over”,
Laughed and cried, carried on with might
Those were our glory days of impish delights.

Today am seven seas afar,
Some worldly wise, fewer words spar;
Things seemed to have slowed down a notch or two,
Feels like I have split into two, one here, one with her;
I saw a face in the crowd, a known smile,
My imagination took fanciful flights,
Gosh it reminded me of those impish delights!

For Ting, About Ting!

An SID original copy

Doing More with Less

We the unwilling
Led by the unknowing
Have done so much
For so long
With so little
We are now qualified
To do anything
With nothing


For the really really ignorant SID == SID :)
