Unsung Praise

My eyes twinkled, with the dawn of sun,

Realised that it was the first day of my holidays

I was happy and joyful to the sound of birds,

When I strolled by the boulevard of roses at my place.

Picture Courtesy - The road less travelled

Cheerful composers welcomed me, by merrily playing their song of nature.

Was mesmerized to hum, sing, and dance,

When they played the Mozart - Sonata in F and other tunes to capture

It was the best musical extravaganza I had ever experienced.

The old harpsichord was spellbinding as it could be,

which ceased my attention completely, and I got engrossed to hear him play.

My compliments made him blush… seemed like,

In the harsh thankless world, mesmeric pieces of art like these, go always unappreciated.

The Rainy Day

Poetry is written by Aahanna (my Daughter)
when she was 7 years  

Rain Rain... Come right away, light up the day,
With your raindrops sparkle my day today.

With your little drops of rain, you shine the day,
The plants are happy and so are the farmers who are delighted and gay.

When it rains heavily, the plants take shower,
Staying happy they gift us a garden full of flowers.

I am happy today as it is a rainy day,
Thank you, God that you made it rain today.

Hollow Pretence

Several faces in this world we see,
Some smile, some laugh and few are happy.
Some are sad, some are gloomy,
And few have never cherished and submerged in dismay.

Thy person who is sad and thoughtful, seldom has a mask,
His feelings are pure as white, and transparent as water.
Often the secret horror lies behind the laughing souls, perhaps unknown to mankind,The secrets are a lot more abrasive, hidden behind that laughter.


Largely it covers the emotions - which are mostly distressing and seldom happy.
Being a hypocrite seems helping the survival of thee today,
The pleasure of being one seems to be reaching a new high,
As even the person I truly love, feels it’s the traditional flair of my life.


Reunion with a lost love is always the happiest moment in one’s life,
But Alas! It’s heart breaking when even this relation corresponds only to be one sided and a mockery.
Soon the life seems to tie a knot and calls it an end,
The worth of living with someone you truly loved I guess is now just a pretend.

YOU...!!!

As I close my eyes, I see a world around

In that world, I see the amazing gorgeous and the most beautiful… YOU!
You have always conquered my dreams and every thought which have wandered

Sad or happy it’s always been you who has first made its appearance

 

It has always begun, with that amazing laugh,

I can barely forget those pleasant curves around your cheeks

The twinkle in the eye, the sparkling smile

The thoughts of which can always get anyone rejoiced

 

With you around, the clock seems to have stopped!

Always felt like I should keep looking at you, listening to you, feeling you and more and more loving you

You came into my life and changed the reason of living

Living with you has now become part of my sun sets and its rise

 

You have always been so caring, the care which makes me feel so precious

You’ve loved not just me, but just everything around

I have often heard the clouds, the trees, the birds and everyone surround

Trying to speak to you and at times whispering ‘I love you’

 

You’ve always had the charm, the warmth and the love to woo any living being

You are the ocean of happiness spreading smiles everywhere

As your hair spreads the warmth of affection, solace and peace

Your tears, the purest stream of water, spreads life around

 

After I open my eyes and as I walk out of your world

Missing you has now become easier every day

Because even though it's one day further from the last time I met you

It's indeed one day closer to the next time I will see you again!
