So near,yet so far...

On one of those rare evenings together,
as we held hands and walked down the road.
You were happy to be with me,
I was too,but maybe it never showed.

So far,yet so near,
never realizing when we grew apart.
Still the love was and is intact,
I feel it and I know it for a fact.

Many more people came into your life,
and I got lost in the crowd.
Gone are those days when
I truly felt that I made you proud.

I feel elated when someone relates me to you,
it is always such a pleasure to talk about you.
You were my support,my pillar of strength,
it was always I who was insecure,never you.

Today,you stay miles away,
Still an achiever,still chasing a dream.
Setting standards for us to meet,
the whole world you can beat.

The love of your life is forever with you,
taking care,being there and we are all with you too.
Do not ever lose sight of the dream,though difficulties come in scores,
We await you with open arms on the other side of friendly shores...

Well,almost...

On a beautiful day like this,
a perfect platter for bliss.
All was perfect,not at all wrong,
almost nothing was amiss.

The not-so-clear skies,
with the clouds kissing them all over,
the ever-so-cool breeze,
setting in motion many a flower.

Holding each others hands,not letting go,
I asked time to go slow.
For once,my wishes were fulfilled,
by Time,by u and all I know.

My smile,then,was important to u,
such moments,for me,are few,
when I know that my happiness matters,
it sounds,to me,like something new.

That day was really mine,
be with me,and I'll be on cloud nine,
my life will be my own again,
and stars,for me,will shine.

Such a beautiful day,the view so perfect,
and nature playing the perfect host.
All was right,nothing at all wrong,
nothing was missing,
Well,almost...

Clueless...

When life gets so cruel,
defeats one in every duel...
where do you find the ray of hope...?
pain becomes,now,a dope!

Shattered by the hopelessness in sound,
battered by the storms around.
Where did those days vanish,
when opportunities were abound...?

When all doors close at once,
no light,not an ounce.
Groping around to find a way out,
with no faith and many a doubt.

Bang in the middle of this ocean called life,
finding no comfort,only strife.
Tossed about mercilessly by the waves,
never finding what this life craves...

Sailing in a boat without an oar,
having lost sight of the shore...
shouting for help and not finding it,
but trying and trying and trying some more...!
