Poem 10: A Train Journey

This poem is an imaginary work about a guy and a girl who meet as strangers during a train journey but fall for each other with a dramatic end to their love tale. As this is an imaginary work, the poem may or may not be close to reality.

A Train journey

Guy's version:
Eyes wander through the train window
Forlorn moments, I wish could change
My attention turn! An unheralded beauty
seated opposite to me

Careful glimpses of her adjusting her hair
Rays of light fill the milieu
Tinkles in my ear and symphony of love
Is it love at first sight?

Ineffable! I am not able to talk to her
Will be she respond if i talk?
Sunk in the ripples in the puddles of my thoughts
I relish the short glimpses of her grace

Girl's version:
Seated opposite to me! Handsome but shy!
He is just a stranger, I keep saying to myself
Why am I still attracted by his aura?
Bombarded by myriads of thoughts!

Careful glimpses of him
Enthralled but unable to resist
Pondering whether i should talk to him first
Or wait for him to break the ice?

I get down at my station with sadness
Convicted by his silence, my heart feels heavy !

Ending:
From the train chugging along,I watch her disappear
In disbelief, my heart breaks like a bridge less chasm

Poem 9: Happy New Year

Poem 9: Happy New Year. This poem is from me to you all.




















Happy New Year

Dreams fulfilled or the dreams shattered !
Absolute bliss or the painful depressions !
Relationships started or the relationships broken !
Harmony or the constant bickering !
Tranquillity or the labyrinth of emotions !

Time goes by! Present becomes the past
Future becomes the present
Let the bygones be bygones
No magic is going to change the past
Life never gives a rewind
It is time to move on

Loads of fun and frolic
Bundles of joy and warmth
Smiles all around
Let warmth and happiness surround
For all your wishes to come true
I wish you a happy new year.

Poem 8: Its you

New poem from me called as "Its you". It is a sweet poem with a lovely twist in the end.




















Its you

Out in the sunshine, so bright
Lake view, a lovely sight
Indeed it is lovely weather
I always cherish our times together

Our dances together in sync
Like I care what people think!
Breezy afternoon, our bike rides!
Together in beach sands, watching tides!

You add life to my soul
Together! how about a stroll?
I am nothing without you
We are one and not two
Isn't it true?

One wish, I wish could come true!
Together in the dark besides each other
and count stars one after another
I know it will never come true
As I am your shadow and I am you!

Just in case if you thought the poem is about a gal, please re-read the poem again after reading the last line of the poem :-).

Poem 7: Reflection

This is the recent poem from me called as 'Reflection'. It is about how and what the world reflects to one's thoughts.

Reflection

Smile and the world smiles with you
So they say which is true
Cry and you cry alone
Is that also known?

World is like a mirror
Reflects what is in you clearer
You only see what you want
So don't let the consequences taunt

What you see is not what you see
Unless your mind is set free
It is not in it
Its in you

Collection of my poems

This is my first blog entry ever. Yippee!! Finally I have got my own blog :). I have been thinking about writing or rather scribble about the incidents, my travelling and random things in my life from long time. I must admit that I was lazy to sit down and jot down the things in a blog. I was encouraged by couple of colleagues to post my poems in a blog so that it can reach wider. I never knew till that time that my colleague's family too have read my poems and are looking forward for more. I was pleased to hear that and it did boost my self confidence further. Hence this blog entry and I have started my first entry with recent poems which I penned. As and when I write a new poem, I will keep appending my new poems to this post.

This poem written in Tamil is a love poem where the lover compares his lover to all the beautiful things. I actually wrote the poem like a film song but edited it this way to make it sound better.

For the benefit of all the people who cannot read Tamil, I have put the translation in English for the tamil poem above. As the below version is a translation from Tamil to English, the rhyming and feel may be different.

Did i get lost in your stary smile?
you are a mehndi garden which turns red just by thinking
you are a freshly blossomed colorful flower
Did i get lost in your beautiful eyes

Did i get lost in your blushing cheeks?

you are a masterpiece sculpted by Brahma

you are an angel who came down from the sky

Did i get lost in your shyness?

Did i get lost in your beautiful lips?

you are the shining stars in my sky

you are the bright full moon in my sky
I lost myself fully in your absolute beauty

and my life has become yours

with my heart filled full with love only for you
