The light of life


You are one of a kind
You give me glee
Come back my light
Come back to me

You stayed with me
In times of need
Asking for you now
Is it greed?

I know not
If you feel the same
I know not
If you find it lame

You gave me comfort
You gave me the warmth
You showed the way
Whether you knew it or not

You stayed there
Whenever I needed assistance
You still do
Albeit at a distance

The little flame you were
A depiction of undying hope
Inspiration is what you gave
So I could always cope

Your absence has left
A space dark and empty
That cannot be filled
By any bounty

You are one of a kind
You give me glee
Come back my light
Come back to me

Brilliant.. Just brilliant.. You have been extremely careful in choice of words.. There is a beautiful sync between the meaning and rhyming..

It does emote :)

Good work.. had to refer a dictionary though :) A special credit if you had done it without any reference..

Thanx Hari!
There's a little more than what meets the eye though... :)

N about the reference, I did refer a little to be sure of the meaning in a couple of cases; so I could probably take a portion of the special credits. :)

The Promise

I promise not to speak I promise to stay quiet and listen To every word pronounced And stay a kitten. I promise to help you I promise to stay I promise to wait For more than a day. Take your time And take mine too For the love we have Very few do. Take me to parties Take me to your friends’ Smile I shall From both ears’ ends. Be the good one, I will. Less talk, sweet smile Looks that can kill. The brand manager Of today’s man. Thy spouse Thy fan. Speak as I will Only on occasions that mandate Speak as I will Only on that particular date. I promise to be by your side In every endeavor. That I abide. But please, do me a favor. Don’t ask me to speak For I shall not. Never after you told me not to Never after we fought.

Power of Gratitude

Today has been a day of gifts!!!! And I've been doing a happy dance since morning! Infact it started last night when a much awaited amount of money hit our account and then I got a discount in an order I placed with a grocer! Today, I was a little upset about something from last night and was in question of how can I change it. The awareness I received was "What can I be grateful for here?" and I knew right away! That changed my mood to a bouncy one and we left home to pick up some stuff. Right then, I received a pending amount from someone and they chose to send a round off, making me the beneficiary! I was glowing in that, when she also offered me an unmatchable offer on her classes! So much gratitude! While I was just jumping with joy at that, the local coconut vendor decides to give us a discounted price on the tender coconuts; just for us! On our way back home from there, I was elated and literally shouting "Thank you Universe!!!!!" and at the n...

In the Mariana Trench lives a kid...

Deep within every individual lives a kid, an innocent child, in his/her most beautiful form. It is this child's manifestation that we see getting expressed every now and then when we see people around us getting into a euphoric state over seemingly minor issues.. We see so many grown-ups acting in a childish or child-like manner. We don't, though, see it happening with everyone; and ofcourse, not all the time. Does this mean it is only in some that this child-like behaviour prevails? Not at all! It is important to understand that the reason for the lack of child-like behaviour in many is not to be attributed to its absence but to its suppression (which is not always intentional). I am sure most will agree with me when i say this. How many amongst our friends and acquaintances through the years would we have met who make us think of how child-like they behave very often? How many have we come across who we saw carrying themselves in such a sophisticated matured way who at some r...
