This poem is very close to my heart.. I dedicate this to my Lord above and my Late Grandfather who is sitting right beside my Lord.. My Papaji (grandfather) was, is and will always remain the inspiration behind all that I have ever written.. Even when I was little, some of the poems I wrote were ridiculously outrageous, yet he heard each one as religiously.. Everyone teased me and poke fun at me all the time and when couldn’t handle it I just gave up the idea.. Papaji came and asked me whether I was angry or upset at him since I would write something everyday and it had been two weeks now. When I told him the reason he got very upset and he told me that poetry, music, singing etc is not everyone’s cup of tea because it is gifted by God and by giving up I was throwing it back in his face instead of trying harder..

Oops!!!!  I just kept rambling on there without realizing.. Anyway my Granddad is also an epitome of godliness and now that he too is an IMMORTAL being I am referring to both of them in the poem.. I hope you all like it.. Please do feel free to comment I would love to hear what you’ll have to say good or bad..

I’ve Seen

For all the times that; I let myself be led by desire,

I've only seen my heart on fire.

I’ve seen hearts that hate & Souls that only want to conquer.

For each time that; I’ve dared to love all over again,

I only found hurt, I’ve only seen pain.

In each I’ve seen days so lonely;

I thought would never end.

I've seen myself shatter in pieces so small;

I felt I would never mend.

For each minute that: I waited for loved ones to return,

I’ve seen every minute pass like a million hours,

With unknown faces glaring back through the dark.

I’ve seen stares so cold, it chilled my h heart.

But throughout all these times, moments and days,

I’ve never seen GOD run away from me;

I’ve never seen his LOVE drift away from me.

I've never seen him lift his Hand from off my head,

I never felt my nerves go numb nor my hopes dead. 

I've seen His-

Halo, Shining his UNDYING light

Through my darkest ways

I've seen dreams come true,

I've seen the miracles Faith can do.

I've seen his grace and I’ve felt his embrace.

I've seen my Tears in his eyes;

& HIS SMILE on my FACE

Hello People,

Here is another one of my favourites. It brings back fond memories of the carefree days when skinned knees and bruised elbows and undone hair didn’t matter. Looking good, zits and pimples, putting on weight, etc came as a part of nature. Whenever I feel down or I feel like I am getting older (ahem, ahem) this beautiful poem which has been penned by “Ms KAY”, brings to life once again, the little child in me. I hope it rekindles your fire too…

Where is The "Good" in"Good-Bye"

As I sit here in class,

I observe my friends

And look forward to the year

Coming to an end.

It's gonna be sad

To say good- bye.

I'll miss everyone.

I know I will cry.

I remember the day

When I came back

To be with my friends

And get on the right track.

We had so many moments;

Some bad, most great.

I'll always remember the love

And erase the hate.

I don't wanna say good- bye

To all my friends.

I don't want this year

To come to an end.

Good Day People!!

Be Blessed !!!

Hello People!!!

This poem that I am just about to post is indeed very dear to me. It forever changed not only the way I handled my relationships but it also taught me how important it is to make near and dear ones feel loved and cared for. I realized what I had taken for granted and how ignorant I was that I ran after something that never mattered while what mattered was actually running behind me all the while...This is one of the most beautiful poems i have ever read... And I am ever so grateful to the author who unknowingly helped me compose my dull, dreary life into this beautiful "SYMPHONY" that it is now!!!!

If Tomorrow Never Comes!!!

If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and a kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day by day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare a minute or two,

To stop and say, "I love you." instead of assuming you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,

Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight.

And we always get a second chance to make everything right.

There will always be another day, to say our "I love you's."

And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"

but just in case I might be wrong and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike.

And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you are waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you will surely regret the day.

That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss.

And you were too busy to grant someone what turned out to be their one last wish.

So, hold your loved one close today; whisper in their ear.

Tell them how much you love them and that you will always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you," or "it's ok."

And if tomorrow never comes, you will have no regrets about today.

This something I wrote recently. My diary has been misplaced actually since I have come back to Bombay. So out of my old stuff what ever I will keep coming across I'll keep updating it here. Simultaneously, I will be adding whatever new excerpts I write. This write-up is basically the struggle of a broken heart trying to deny still being in love with the person who has broken it. It is a blend of confused emotions, broken promises and a longing to find love again.

I'll Never Know

I guess I'll never know the answers to these questions but I always mange to come above them. I manage to smile and feel good about myself and about love, however ironic that may sound. Because in my heart I will always know that through all the tears, even if just for a moment, the both of us --- had it all..................

Good Day People!!!!

Be Blessed!!
