Tiny Tales # 1

Memories came flooding by,
I helplessly let them rush to me
All I did was drown in them,
And forget the rest of me
I knew it was for a few minutes,
But it felt I lived a lifetime in thee

An Affair to Remember...

You guess you are happy with a person

But there are scars that the other person

Doesn't see, doesn't acknowledge

Doesn't help you heal

And you let yourself go cold

Sometimes the ignorance hurts,

Sometimes its makes your eyes water

Sometimes you don’t care to react

And then comes another person

A friend, a lover

Or whatever

Sometimes it doesn't have a name

It just comes to you

The missing puzzle of you

You fix like jigsaw puzzle

You were supposed to be together

Or so you thought

But fate had different plans

So you carry on with your

Missing piece

Day after day

Month after month

Till you make so many memories

That even in solitude you can smile

This is exactly an affair to remember

It might be brief

It might be long

But only you know the

Lines of this song

And for me

That person is you.. 

Apology

I woke up and
Felt normal
No nausea, no giddiness

All around me was normal
But I knew, she wasn't
I couldn't feel her
I couldn't smile because of her
I ruthlessly listened to the
Society and blew you off

I apologize
That I did not
Let the flower bloom

I apologize 
That I couldn't
Fight back the 
Black clouds that
Hid the shining sun

I apologize 
That I let 
The wife win

I apologize 
That the mother in me 
Was weak to scream

I apologize 
That even though
You are my part
I am letting you go

I apologize 
For remembering you
But doing nothing
That's your due

I apologize my baby
For all that 
I put you through...

The Final Goodbye...

The most beautiful creations of God are - 
The flower that blooms,
The Sun that shines,
The Moon that soothes,
The caterpillar to a butterfly,
The birth of a soul like you
And all the memories made
Because of you

As a beautiful flower is born
And the legacy starts
You, my granny
Was the reason
For a beautiful family 
We share

As the sun casts upon
The Earth,
the warmth of it rays
We know you are there,
Showering blessings on us
Across the heavenly skies 

As the moon guides 
A lost soul on a dark night
You will guide us
Through smiles and turmoils
Through loss and pain
Always making sure
We don't loose anything
Only gain

As a bird that soars high
In the sky
We will succeed 
Because we have your
Blood and you trust us
To soar high

And as a flower withers away
Its fragrance is always felt
Around
You have left us a
Bonded family,
Beautiful memories
And warmth
That still spreads

Every passing day
Will remind us of you
And your smile
And the pricking 
Sense of your loss 
And an amazing soul 
Who is now 
With the Divine

The Last Breath

I got the call
And I felt
The sky did fall

My brother said
Granny’s no more
Felt like something was 
Snatched away ruthlessly
And mercilessly 

Aren't we supposed to say
A Final Goodbye?

Time heals the wounds
They say
But can time fill in vacuum
Created by someone’s absence?

I saw her
On the bed
Eyes closed
And her body 
Lay numb

I wanted to touch her
Kiss and hug her
But I couldn't
The body was my granny’s
But the soul left
There was no warmth
No love, 
Just a body
Wanted to shout and scream

My sister sat there
Beside me
Crying and wallowing 
I wanted to console her
But words ditched me
I was in pain and
How could I convince someone?
It’s all a part of the game?

The love she infused
And the relations she made
Will be with us 
Till our last breath

Our granny
Our strength
We will miss you
No matter where you are
You will always know
You will be with us
In our memories
And in our smiles

We have loved you
And will always love you

We love you.. More than words can say...

She personifies beauty
Not only skin deep
But also that which
Reaches her soul

She, with us is
Peaceful and serene
Like a shade of green
In a hot sunny gleam

She epitomizes strength
She is the reason for the
Broadest smile on
Our faces

She held us together
Making us one
She acted like a Mother
Or rather made us feel
Like her son and daughter

We have seen you
Smile, cry and worry
For your family
Hoping and wishing
We stay together as One

And today...
She laid there
On the bed
The place reeked of
Spirits and drugs

With wrinkled skin

And swollen feet

Skin marred with blues

Because of all

The syringes that were

Poked in you

And you lay there

On the sheet of 

Whites and blues

Crying for a

Peaceful transition

We saw you

And felt your pain

Hoping it ends soon 

And  you smile again

We know we are selfish

We want you to be with us

We want your smile 

To enlighten us

But the slightest 

Whimper from you

Leaves us cold

And wishing for 

Miracles

We love you granny

More than any words can say

And we want you to be at peace

Every night and day...

APART FROM ME.. A PART OF ME

The pain of loss

The pain of something gone

I want to wash away

But it seems to prolong

Sadness engulfs me

The pain deepens

I want to shout

But the whisper’s

Aren’t even loud

We did

What we had to do

But

Oh! My soul mate

My friend, philosopher and guide

Do we really have to?

I live with you

In my head

In my heart and

As a part of my identity
