I am 2 Something...

I look here and there,
All my friends have their kids eveyrwhere!
"Oh Gosh! What has happened! " , I drool,
To this world I was new,
When two candles I blew,
And now I sit here and blink,
Reminscing my past life as I drink...

I try running away from there,
"People will guess my age" , I swear,
I do not want to grow up,
But did God even give me that option?
Suddenly I hear a scream,
"Aunty", Do you want ice cream?!"
Wide eyed..mouth drooling..staring right at me,
Was this Little Devil who is dare enough to call me Aunty!

I shoo him away,
But I knew this truth I couldn't sway,
I am growing up,
And however hard I try to confuse, camouflage and lie,
This truth I cannot deny....

I look into the mirror,
Is that me I wonder?
Wrinkled and a little old,
I stare at her with eyes cold,
I have seen her before,
She does loook familiar,
"Ahh" I say to myself,
That's my mother....

I chuckle to myself..
As I pour my medicine in my cup..
"I do not want to grow up.."

Till Death does us apart!

On and on we go again,
To the world we haven't tread,
I want you by my side,
I am afraid of the stormy tides,
Engulfing me in their ravage,
Swallowing me in their revenge...

This world is very unfair,
True love is also very rare,
Have made mistakes , my love,
Will you forgive me for what I have done?
My mind and heart fought between right and wrong,
And in one weak moment, the wrong triumphed..
I promise it will be my one and only last mistake...

Our future is now in your hands,
I promise not to let our ship sink,
If only you give me one more chance,
And promise to trust me again,
Which I know is hard to gain,
I promise to love you,
Till Death does us apart.....

Happy New Year!

Sun sets on 2009 eve,
We bid adieu to the past year and take leave,
However the sky still seems bright,
Is it due to Firecrackers sparkling illuminating light,
Or due to the hopes and sparks in my heart,
Which the New Year could perhaps impart.

As the Sun dawns in the New Year,
I oath to follow crazy resolutions,
Countless promises , hopes & thoughts...
This new year..I wish.. will not get lost...

I wait for the first news paper of the New Year,
Delve into horoscopes curious to find what's in store for the future,
Will my career plummet or soar,
Will my heart be rich with love or still suffer,
Are the stars kind enough to shower,
Their utmost mercy on me this New Year!

Lots of lessons learned in the past year,
Yet the New Year will again be a teacher,
Life is a basket of surprise,
You never know what springs up altogether,
Its the anticipation of what's in store,
Which makes the New Year mysterious ,merrier and better each year!

Choose To Win

Sometimes less, Sometimes more,
Life takes us through its mighty roar,
With this rusty windy life
We play everyday...

Some feelings in heart,
Lot of emotions in eyes,
I want to dream unlimited,
But Oh! My shrewd , practical and cruel mind,
Conflicts with my best friend...my heart..

My mind makes me say things " others" want to hear,
It controls my emotions- Love, Anger, tears...
It wars with my only true friend,
I try so hard to defend..

My heart cries within,
I laugh outside,
I play hide and seek with myself,
Crazily searching for something I don't know where it is hidden...

Life is such,
Forced to do things untruthful to heart,
We loose ourselves in this struggle,
But I want to win this battle,
Will try to find hope in just some truths that life showers,
I have a choice,
I will win.
