Through the Looking Glass

  

I took a deep breath as I sat down at my window & watched the world go by,
Among all the beautiful things in nature I caught a little glimpse of her.
I wandered, wandered like a mad man to know who she was...
I walked back home lost and alone… still looking for her out the corner of my eye….
It was quite a while but, I sat at the window as if there were a tether.
Nights went by and days dawned on.. I sat by the window and stared through the glass.

It was a white winter morning I was sipping on my coffee by the window...
Like a tiny ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds.. there she came…
A sense of cheer surrounded her and she was radiant in the red scarf she wore… 
I ran out to talk to her for I wanted to know…. 
To know her name, where she lived...
Where she worked and who she was …I asked her to dinner so….. 

Days flew along while I learned about her past…
It had no importance, for we looked into time that lay ahead.
A future together I envisioned, a glorious wedding there would be.
I was sure we were building something beautiful forever to last…
I asked her to marry me and not too many words were said….
After she said yes… I knew all the joy in the world belonged to me…

Twelve moons later we tied the knot and took the vow,
To stay together forever in all that came…
To discover everything that was in store
For us in the future and now… 
To equally share the joys and the blame….
And to live a life of love with the promise to adore…. 

We took a deep breath as we sat down at the window and watched the world go by,
A gorgeous girl walked by and shortly after a boy came looking for her…
We thought of all the years that went by and wondered away…. 
The people we had met, the worlds we had seen and all the low and the high…
She looked into my eyes and smiled, she rested on my shoulder…
One last time. 
I sit by the window and stare through the glass… Thinking of that winter morning when she came my way….

Happily Ever After.....

The last one of the trilogy. I thot of makin this another tragic end like most of my poems. But, due to popular demand. I had to make the ending predictable and happy. :) Hope you enjoyed the series :D The Memories that were buried deep down in my insane heart, Did not stay there for too long, I just let them die, I knew I had to play my part, As a husband, a father and let the past just fly by. It was son’s high school year when she came back, She wanted to meet; she gave me a call, I knew I was strong at heart and I would cut no slack She told me she had loved me too much and made a request too tall. She wanted to be mine now…After all these years. I told her I was married and I had a son, The next moment, I could see her still angelic face, wet with tears, I did not know what to do; I stood there, every single second wanting to run. She told me, she would go, But, she wanted a first and a last kiss, My conscience wouldn’t let me do it, B’cos I loved my wife that much so, My life til...

Of fruity luxuries....

Slurp… lick …slurp……gggulp………mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I was in a state of total bliss a few moments back when I had some yummy watermelon and some honeydew. It was too yummy and fruit after dinner is just too good. Back in India, this was a luxury. Every summer meal of mine was followed by mangoes, apples, watermelons, musk melons (American variants are cantaloupe or honeydew), or any other fruit that can be found in a veggie/fruit shop. All the fruit is placed in a bowl diced and chilled and seeds taken off as the case may apply. Dig a fork deep in or tooth picks or spoons or if I cannot resist the temptation till the forks are at the table or till I get one, just grab and gulp. This I thought was a simple thing and some days I have not bothered to take the bowl and drop it off at the kitchen sink. I just relished the fruit every meal and washed my hands and walked off. Sometimes I even complained, “Oh damn we had the same fruit in the morning. Can’t we have something else now?” Today, I had ...

For The Love Of The Dream - Part 2

Swapna said she would check it later. They continued talking for the next few hours. She was talking about her childhood and school times. Swapna all of a sudden pinged him and said, “Dude, I’ll go get my lunch” and that is when they realized they have been lost in talk for the last 4 hours. They had spoken without a break and they decided to scroll to see what they had spoken. Ram quipped, “Man I can write a whole biography of Swapna and call it the Tale of the Dream may be!” Swapna chuckled to herself and replied, “Oh well, it isn’t any lesser here. I even know what the color of your first bicycle was.” Realization is the funny feeling that dawned upon both of them. They had met 4 hours back on an instant messaging client and now they stood at a point where they knew so much about each other. Swapna in almost a shocked state typed out, “Where on this sweet planet is this heading? This is so fast.” Ram was slow and realized the magnitude of the situation only when he read out what sh...
