Instant Poetry

This is an excerpt from an interesting chat I had with ‘chhuchi’. After receiving threats of missing out on a chocolate that she was supposedly gonna share with me, for baseless charges of making fun of her looks, I had to come up with this in some 2-3 mins…

When you were walking towards the canteen,
In that flowing orange dress,
I look inside, where my heart should’ve been,
Couldn’t find a trace.

The flowers were shy,
Couldn’t compete with your eyes,
Your smile like a gentle breeze.

When you get chocolate,
From P. dai,
Can I have a bite too, please

… and guess what! I got the chocolate.

Awestruck

To Chhuchi,
I had promised you that I’d write a song about how good you looked yesterday… So here it goes…

Glittering lights on orange glow,
Time seemed to move ever so slow.

Your elegant walk with jubilant smile,
Took my breath away for a while.

Shy eyes on a charming face,
My heart was lost without a trace.

And to walk by your side, couldn’t believe my luck,
I am — forever — awestruck!!!

Thanks for looking sooooooooooooo beautiful

At First Sight

Looking at you,
Holding my breath,
For once in my life,
I’m scared to death.

That look in your eyes,
Watching you smile,
My head starts to spin,
I couldn’t talk for a while.

The night turned to day,
Or it’s the other way,
Couldn’t figure it out,
I’m in all sorts of doubt.

Will I see you again,
Or would I live with this pain,
You coming into my life,
This couldn’t be just in vain.

So rest assured babe,
While you’re looking so fine,
That I am no less,
And ya,… you will be mine

(The first stanza is from the song “First Time” by Lifehouse.)

We All Need A Little Sunshine

You’re going so far I can hardly see,
Out in the world, wild and free,
Whatever it makes you, whoever you’ll be,
Don’t ever stop shining down on me.

And when you need a hand to hold,
In the midst of chaos and cold,
Right by your side, I’ll always be,
Just don’t ever stop shining down on me.

For You

I love it when you smile,
not because it makes you look beautiful.
You look beautiful regardless.
I love it when you smile,
because it makes my whole day look beautiful.

About Love

I posted a quote by Neil Gaiman and got hammered with comments. I’d like to believe that those were directed at the original writer and not at me. Anyway, all the talk about love made me contemplate, and it took me back to something I wrote ages ago… … …

Today I saw you again.
The beauty, the elegance,
Soothing -
Like a summer rain.
Floating with grace.
The day,
Singing with your laughter,
Brightened by your face.
I looked in your eyes,
I got lost,
Charmed!
Mesmerized!
Then you looked at me;
Time stood still.
You smiled at me,
I could feel,
A music in the air;
Like a violin somewhere,
Breaking the silence of a calm sea.
I just stood there.
A million things to say,
Couldn’t utter a word;
My lonely serenade,
Untold!… Unheard!

… … … Love is amazing!… it makes your days brighter, your worries lighter… it makes you wannabe a better man!… your priorities change in moments… it is beyond all logic, all reasons… … to the whole world you’re someone and to someone you’re the whole world… it matters!!
