FRIEND

My scribbled hand enriched your lines
Scribed and etched your tender soul
Day one, my agony in school
Fears about a world unknown
A loner I was till you befriended me

The spaces speak aloud “You Ignored Me”
Later to fill in with hurried attempt
Chapters that overhauled my existence
You jumped on board and it felt
Like you’ve been there, my friend

Through times when the tunnel narrowed
Darkness engulfed all the way long
When I almost gave up, you were
My source of wisdom and strength
Lamp of hope, my friend

I look back and yes I’ve erred
Many a times, many a place
Too late sometimes to mend
You watched over for me
Like a guardian angel, my friend

BETRAYED

The long walk called life
Tired my soul
When no longer could I take it
Thy hand accompanied my soul
To find my way to Thee
Alas! I found my resting home

Back home rests my better half
All alone to grieve and mourn
Selfish I was but helpless I am
To Thee I entrust
Help her soul
To seek Thee, To find Thee
And in the end
Find her resting home

SORRY

The letter S that spilled itself
Was trampled by feet unknown

The letter O that shrilled into the air
Fell on deaf ears. Sigh!

The letter R took a ride but
Traveled destination unknown

It took a second chance but
The door it struck was tightly shut

The letter Y waited
For all the others to have their turn

But yonder ed too long I guess.

When all it took, was to say
I'm Sorry My Friend

That Summer Noon

The sudden splash awoke the earth
The greens washed away their summer dust
The music of the raindrops echoed
The full blooms swayed to their tune
All this and more, I viewed
As I lay back, that summer noon

The lightning murmured with thunderous note
The heavens displeased with mankind below
The earth crouched terrified
For the wrath seemed to last forever
All this and more, I viewed
As I lay back, that summer noon

The winds screeched their way
Through the darkened woods
Each branch had a story to tell
Few good ones and Few
That did not end well
All this and more, I viewed
As I lay back, that summer noon.

Well its not every day that you feel Charged and Alive.Yeah its ma turn. Don't know what ticked off this part of me. Well there is this totally new funda for revival. Revive my writing skills, letter writing(sound all too old school i know) and a total need to ALT+CTRL+DEL those mundane task and all so bored feeling that you develop when you have not been doing off lately. It started off with a simple thing as climbing up to the 10th floor to where my workstation awaits me. Post lunch till 3PM is when ma brain is like a slug. Well after the climb I felt all revived and felt like a fresh breath of air was all around me. And me did actually finish off that long pending write up I was working on. Okie I get the hint- Stop Bragging.....but me cant leave without saying....The climb up did really want me to change a few mundane tasks that I have been sticking to....

Vacation indeed.... need to redefine the word...“A vacation should be just long enough that you're boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.”
Well this is what i have wanted to do for a long time...but there is this thing called TIME which just vanishes when i need to find it...
