Before~

The comfort of the creamy curd rice
Rolling on the floor , watching TV
Using Laika as my squishy pillow
Sleeping through life
And moving in my own jolly pace

Reminiscing about a happier childhood
With the same bunch of friends ,
Dipping Fries on cheese
Unbothered about kilos and hours

Driving on my scooty ,
Wind washing away my starting jitters ,
Sitting with my special friend on the cool mud
Of  my Bessie beach ,
And trying to tell him that
The Big Things in Life are actually Very Small



The montage that passes through your eyes
Before any nerve wracking moment is
A Random rhapsody of your lived moments ,
So live your life friend
Like the waves before us
Rise and crash and touch some lives ~
Mistakes make great stories
Worry only about being true to your self.

He smiled a quiet smile
Placed his hands behind my head
Leaned forward
And shut my mouth in his style



What was I saying again?

  1. What a delightful way to be silenced ... so delightful one loses one's train of thought, being true one's self all the way!

  2. What a glorious poem this is and how easy to enter it and be a hidden onlooker as it happens.

  3. These are all extraordinary moments of life really. It's our loss if we can't recognize them. And of course your closing lines are just as beautiful.

  9. Wow - this is stunning - the flow, the pace, the ideas, and images you've presented and created, the lines and wording itself - it is simply gorgeous - clearly written from the heart and it resonates with an intimate yet very universal feeling. It's breath-taking and stellar - I read this again and again and I feel like the heavens - the stars and constellations have opened before me - and are showering me with a grace and beauty that speaks of -a channel flowing of Love.
