Did you hear me?

You heard the alarm on your clock,
You heard the water down the tap,
You heard the coffee boil,
You heard the train whistle,
You heard the breeze,
You heard the buzzing bee,
You heard the leaves fall,
Every singe detail was heard by you,
But my voice went unnoticed,
in vain, you didn't hear me,
I called after you,
I cried for you,
I begged you to stay,
but...
My voice you never heard!

Cut the crap

For the person I am, to have finally made up mind and made a decision on my own is quite a big deal. But now that I've done that, one thing is for sure, nothing or no one can make me change my mind. I stand by it and I stick to it no matter what.
But why is it so difficult for people to digest it. I've made up my mind, I've decided upon something, that's it and that's how it'll be. Why even waste an ounce of your energy on trying to influence me or change my decision.
I rarely do such a thing. And when I actually do it, I do it after giving it a lot of thought, and then reaching a conclusion.
Today I've decided I'm going to quit, which means I am. Be it now or after two years, I've decided I'm off that one particular thing then it means that I'll never touch it again. It feels good, to have boiled down my options and decided something for certain, and I feel all the more great because I've finally decided to cut the crap out of my life and quit the horrible suffering of that one particular thing.
If my way be,
One chance is what I'd seek,
to undo things I did.
It hurts a lot,
but that chance is very meek.

I wish I was granted this wish,
I would surely undo the doing I did,
I didn't realize it was wrong,
and by the time I did,
it was too late.

A chance is all I want,
why is everything against me,
if I undo it all,
it'll all be fine.

I repent that move I made,
it was all in a haste-
under the influence of someone,
I'd do anything to correct it,
another chance is all I want!

But since it won't be my way and I won't be granted this wish, I rather stick to this decision of being strong, quitting it and de-stressing my life, relieving myself of this huge mess.
So be it this way then... I'm done with deciding, now do what you want I'll not change this thought of mine!!

Lost and Found

It all began on that one fine day when it was least expected... We'd lost touch with each other years ago, when different paths were chosen and ever since then I'd always wonder, "what came of him and how he'd be?" We did meet once, but situation forced me to ignore that encounter, and guilty of having done that, I always wanted another chance.

Friendship is a strong bond that may last forever if nourished and taken care of. It is very easy to lose friends but very difficult to be a good friend and let the bond grow and last forever.

I had found good friends, but within a minute I let circumstances destroy that good bond and moved on with life with a huge burden always carried along.

I wished for one chance, a small opportunity when I could relive everything and do away with my guilt and the heavy rock I was carrying. Finally, after ages, such an opportunity came across my doorstep. Unconsciously, I'd been looking for him and finally I spotted him. Making use of this golden chance, I contacted him and eagerly awaited a reply. My happiness knew no bounds when I saw a similar kind of excitement from him-that eagerness to cherish and relive all old times was a mutual feeling I realized.

We know things have changed, from that point, ages ago, we've come really far, each of us in our different paths- towards a different direction. Reliving those old times is something not possible, but we still have managed to come up with a substitute system to treasure this bond of friendship. The little conversations we have is a means of keeping it all alive after all these years.

Everything seems so old, yet so new. It's only a perspective. Now we're getting to each other better. We're no more kids like then, and sharing small nick nacks now is so different and makes much more sense. Old is not forgotten, memories lie fresh in my mind, but new is good too, a new direction to explore.

A few people a re always destined to be a part of our lives. Some where, some how, you happen to bump into them. It is then, that we take the initiative of protecting that bond, because it is these people who are one in a million with whom you can share this lovely bond of friendship; and upon whom you can lay your trust.

I'm glad I found him again and am now enjoying this sharing and relationship of friendship.

Thanks for coming back into my life friend! Cheers to this friendship of ours!

Magical Kingdom

It is truly as described below...

The sky looked enchanted,

the castle was magnificent,

I was amazed at this mystical world,

it felt like a feast to my eyes!

....................................................

Oh! In that kingdom far far way,

I had all my dreams fulfilled,

there was nothing more I could ask for,

I'd already reached cloud number 9!

................................................................

They call it the magic kingdom,

and it truly was so,

forgetting all my pains and sorrows,

I was bubbling with happiness!

..............................................................

In this fantasy world,

I walked along glittering streets,

the noise around me spoke

about fulfilling dreams!

.............................................................

There were brilliant fireworks,

that made the night sky shine.

I walked amidst princesses,

feeling like one myself!

......................................................

Everything here was so magical,

the air, the fragrance, the breeze, the noise,

no one would ever want to leave,

this very different kingdom!

...........................................................................

The wind swept me off the ground,

and took me to amazing places,

on Aladdin's magical carpet,

I now flew and saw the world!

..............................................................

Cinderella's shoes were my very own,

I had a carriage waiting for me,

away I went in it,

to meet my Prince Charming!

...................................................................

I sang and I danced,

all along my way,

with Mickey and Minnie beside me,

my wishes seemed so real!

................................................................

I never wanted this journey to end,

I didn't want to leave my castle,

fantasy was any day better than reality,

this kingdom felt like heaven!

.........................................................................

Leaving me spell-bound,

this far away land,

has a special place in my heart,

and it calls me now and then!

A beautiful day!

I woke up in the morning,
thinking to myself,
about the day beginning,
A beautiful day lay ahead,
I could see from my window still.

I peeked out of my window,
to look at all that I was to deal with,
the sun shone beautifully,
reminding me yet again of
the beautiful day that lay ahead!

It was finally time to get out,
I picked my bag and chose my path.
I walked amidst the woods,
the lovely trees,
swaying with the wind
were as if trying to say something-
that a beautiful day lay ahead!

The breeze hit my face,
I was reminded of you,
I smiled to myself and continued my walk.
The rustling leaves,
the rays of sunlight,
playing peek-a-boo in the woods,
all told me the same thing,
a beautiful day lay ahead of me!

The aromas were so strong,
I could feel your presence around me.
I looked around to see if you were there yet,
although I didn't find you, I knew
it was going to be soon that I would see you!
The squeaking squirrels also said the same thing-
that a beautiful day lay ahead!

I walked ahead and finally reached the end,
there you were, waiting for me with your arms open,
I ran the last few steps,
gushed like the wind, straight in your arms,
It was a pleasant feeling,
indeed, it was a beautiful day!

With you all along the way from there,
life felt worth living,
around me, the air was filled with joy,
every breath I took,
every step I'd walked till here,
every stone I'd bumped into,
every little thing, felt worth it!

The sea is so humongous,
its blueness is so incredible,
the shades in the sky above are so stunning,
the sun is beginning to set,
soon it'll be dark,
the moon and the stars will take there place,
in the wonderful pink, orange, purple and blue of the sky.

Walking along the shore,
hand-in-hand with you,
I still like the feeling in and around me,
The nature seems to be treating us,
laughing with us, singing with us,
in this love we hold for each other,
we're not alone, the wind plays with us,
the stars dance for us,
every one is happy,
everything is so chirpy.

With you around,
every day of my life,
is a beautiful day indeed!
