Pen is my sword

When Faith lets you down ...

2012-01-25T04:19:00.000-08:00

Tears streamed down her cheeks,

Reflecting the pain and sorrow within

Merged with all the regret and guilt

Trying to wash away all her sin.

No longer ,her eyes, have the shine of hope

Nor does it have the radiant glow,

Clouded by the mist of darkness,

Leaving her a prey to melancholy and distress.

Once she had felt, she’d never be the one,

But now, she feels, she’s the only one,

Caught in a turmoil of vain expectations,

With dashed hopes and unfulfilled dreams…

There she lay, engrossed ,in thoughts,

Poring over what she’d done of herself,

Trying to analyze where she’d gone wrong,

Why her faith had let her down…

If only she got another chance,

To make things right and live again

If only she could make up for the days she cried

And live back the days she wept in pain

If only she could listen to her heart this time,

And let not her faith , let her down again…

Love Unsaid

2011-11-01T00:38:00.000-07:00

This is dedicated to the love of my life...

Life was just a solitary journey

Until the day I met you, sweetheart,

The care and candor, you bestow,

At once, stole away, my heart…

Blessed am I, now you are mine,

No time, no tide, can drift us apart…

Happy were the times spent with you,

Happiest was I, when u became mine…

And I promise you, on our love divine,

In each passing heart beat, I’ll be with you,

In every ups and downs, of life’s design..

Beautiful am I, when you are with me,

Soothing is my name, when you whisper it,

Complete am I, when you are with me,

Blissful is my life, as long as you are a part of it….

And someday, when heavens my home and grave my bed,

My soul will be, still with you, with no regrets of love unsaid…

A Midnight Call

2011-01-08T06:58:00.000-08:00

A midnight it was, when rang, the phone

A call, much awaited, rather, a heavenly boon,

The thought that made me smile, when I was down

A night I‘ll cherish , many more a moon…

Brighter ,seemed the sunrise that day,

For a radiant sky, the clouds made way,

Perfumed were the blossoms ,sweetening my stroll ,

Embraced, the winds of April, caressing my soul…

Faster, was my pulse, louder were my heart beats,

As I approached closer, to the most heavenly treat …

Cuddled up in his nest, of love and warmth,

Beheld I, an angel sleep, in a moment of eternal bliss…

Droplets blurred my vision, yet, refused my eye,

To withdraw; from the beautiful and angelic sight, it saw,

As though, a flash of innocence, brightening up my eye,

I saw his toothless smile, melting away my heart n mind..

Blessed are you, aye women , who

Bring a whole new wonder to this world,

Truth of life is sometimes so beautiful,

Fantasize I’d never, of a life in wonderland…

In the bosoms, of my sibling, happily he lay,

True Love couldn’t be expressed, in any better way,

Pages of memory may ,with time, be torn, but -

Never will I forget the day, my nephew was born…

………Love you Krishuuu………

Seasons of Fun

2010-09-26T22:42:00.000-07:00

Finally I have managed to dig out few poems of mine from an old diary back home. Posting one here…

This was written during the last days of my school life. School days have been the best days as far as I am concerned. Fun, laughter, priceless friendships , projects, dramas, little secrets …it’s an endless list of non stop fun filled memories..
The below poem depicts that I realized, even back then, that my school life would be the best days I would ever have…

Seasons of Fun

With heavy hearts and teary eyes,
Here we are , at the crucial juncture,
When we let fall , the drapes of our school life,
And bid goodbye as its time for departure…

We had our ups , we had our downs,
But altogether , we did have fun,
All those moments now flash across,
As the days go by, one by one……..

The friends we made , the pranks we played,
Will be soon be just new pearls of memory,
Sorrow and tears , slowly overcome us,
As this realization ,dawns upon us…..

Its time, now, to shake hands for farewell
With a word of parting and cordial embrace,
Cries of today may be the joke of tomorrow,
If so, this will be the cheerless joke for aye……..

As we hold tight within, those precious memories,
All that we wish , is for the days to never end,,,
We know that these memories will forever stay
But nothing can be better than our school days…..

Too much to ask for...

2010-09-24T10:25:00.000-07:00

Dedicated to Shonima,my bessst friend :)

Friendship is all that I ever asked for
Loved ones are the only whom I ever cared for
Relationships happen, some stay. some fade away,
But , some stay even after fading away.
In our hearts, in our thoughts, in our minds and in our eyes…

Behold I can those who cry with tears in eyes
Understand I can those who cry with love in eyes
Sympathize I can for those who cry with fear in eyes
Empathize I can with those who cry without tears in eyes

A hand to hold is all that I longed for
A heartfelt word of care is all that I wished for
Simple ,it may seem…but how so precious
So precious ,so powerful , it can resurrect a lifeless someone
But too much, is it, to ask for?

Behold I can the love encircling me,
Yet it seems so far to touch
Feel I can affection and care all around
Yet it seems so much to ask for

A hand of friendship is stretched out finally
For me to hold on, when I need it
A heart of love is lend finally
For me to confide in, forever,…
This relationship will stay and never fade away
Coz love can never be too much to as for they say……

TORN WINGS

2010-02-25T14:06:00.000-08:00

The year 2009 was one of the worst years of my life!! My first job!! I learned what life is ,when you are alone; with none to listen to your woes,none on whom you can confide, none to prepare homely food for you;and to survive in a bad climate without proper water or food ...And to top it all, you have your bosses at office;(who "squeezes all the juice out of you ,yet only,complain about the few seeds that may come in"); to worsen your life and make it hell!!!Being in the IT field, I've been working in graveyard shifts for 1 and a half years now,and trust me,its horrible!PG accommodation at Chennai and monster-like bosses at office,it was like a daily journey ,back and from ,hell to hell!!Anyone who have gone through a similar situation will be able to relate with this poem of mine..

..Dedicated to those who made my life a hell,at my first job!!..

**************************

Torn wings

**************************

A little bird, I maybe, just learning to fly,

But afraid, I’m not, as soon, one day,

Above you, I’ll be, flying more high!

When your eyes are jaded and wings, weak,

I will fly past; your journey, so bleak…

And when I turn back, you too will,

To your past, soiled with guilt and evil,

But neither eyes, will tears fill, mine nor yours

As they’ll loathe, shedding themselves for you.

Each day I’m pricked, and drop my wings,

On the lap, I fall, of whose womb, I’m from,

And, stronger, I rise, with outstretched wings,

To live her dream, keeping the wound green…

My eyes maybe small, but not my vision,

The pain is intense, but, so is my passion,

Fail, I’ll not, you can keep on trying,

Cry, I’ll not; far-off; I’ll keep on flying...

An owl, I’m not, to be night-loving,

A cuckoo, I’m not, to be solitude seeking,

Sharp-eyed, and strong-willed, enduring all pain,

I left my nest, young; to fulfill my aim,

Yes, An Eagle, I am, wherever I go, I’ll leave a name!!

Heaven Forbidden..

2010-01-08T06:35:00.000-08:00

This poem was written ,for another someone ,who is very important in my life..Younger to me in age but my best friend,brother and critic whom i pamper and fight with 24/7 .. :P Being my junior at college,this was a departure gift ,he received from me,on the last day of college :(

Sharing with you.....

....Heaven Forbidden....

*****************

Few know me better, than

The one I write this to.

And he also knows, that I’d rather

Die, than write a lie.

Words have never failed me,

In getting my heart across..

But now I fear to pen down,

A single word I know –

Coz’ a few words put together,

Can symbolize never, a love,

So deep, so pure, that will

Remain unexplained forever..

Named as ‘nameless’,

Are a few rare relationships...

Needless of words,

Coz’ they speak for themselves.

So is the bond shared by us..

A bond held closest to heart itself

A friend, who can make me smile, when I’m sad

A brother, so naughty, who can make me go mad

A guide, a critic, an inspiring mate

Always at your best, in all the roles, you personate..

Departure is just a word for some,

Few realize the pain hidden

A friend like you, is a gift from heaven

Departing from you is heaven forbidden…

Long way to go, but in my heart you’ll stay
And you’ll always be there, until my grave is laid….

IF TEARS WERE BLUE

2009-12-25T09:04:00.000-08:00

This is another ode written for my very close friend ,after we had a fight for some reason ( :P )more of an apology note

IF TEARS WERE BLUE
These few lines i write for you
From a heart , filled with love,so true;
Now ,eyes moist, I can see not through --
The profuse affection i feel for you,
But give ink to them,how do i do?
Now i wish,if only,my tears were blue......

For the wound , that I, have inflicted in you
These words can never make up,i know
For the priceless times u'v gifted me with
These words can never thank enough,i know
But for once,if it could kiss that wound
These tears,could heal it atleast,a bit,am sure

Your friendship ,is the best boon, one can get
Hurting you,is the worst sin,one can commit
But,if my words can make feel better ,a bit
Your heart,so pure,then I'd like to admit
The only one, I forever trust , is you....
And,friendship's ABC starts with 'U' .....

Some friendship,they say,will end in love
Some friendship,they say,will end in knot
But our friendship ,i say ,will end in neither
Coz', no matter what,it will ever end NOT....

To Ma'am ,With Love...

2009-12-23T07:23:00.000-08:00

This poem or ode, was composed during my school days and is dedicated to one of my most favourite teachers of all times! Mrs.Seema Nambiar.
She left school unexpectedly,leaving all her students in tears. This ode was written for her and I gifted her with the same, while she was leaving ..

TO MA'AM , WITH LOVE....
Trusting in my talent, to combine words,
And relying on the saying, ‘Pen is mightier than the sword’
I tried my best to pen down our feelings for you,
But, I have failed in my Endeavour,
As, I found, beyond words, was our love for you!

You have been, like an angel to us,
With gleaming eyes and cheerful face,
Your one lovely smile and one sweet little word,
Was just enough to make our day great!

This farewell of yours have reminded us,
What our friend once said, ‘Good things never last…’
But you were the best thing that ever happened to us,
How dearly will we miss you, we find it hard to express.

We knew we had to leave you someday,
But not so soon on an unexpected day,
Our hearts are overwhelmed, we have few words….
All we have, is, but a few true tears,
Which we shed now, while departing from you…..

Pen is my sword

2009-12-22T22:02:00.000-08:00

Hi All,
I'v been reading and been deeply intrigued by the blogs of few of my friends, family or total strangers', for quite a long time now... I being a person,who strongly believe in the well known qoute"Pen is mightier than the sword' , tried to create a blog of my own, many a times , to scribble a few thoughts of mine,but I was tramelled ,by my twin -Lethargy!!
But in the recent past, many of my well wishers have been insisting that I secure, as well as bring out to the world ,the hidden talent in me. And finally ,that urged me to use this free space , to publish the hidden talent in me - for those who doesnt know , well, I am - a humble ( ;) ) poetess - who discovered the creativity hidden in her,when she enrolled herself in a poem composing competetion,only for the sake of bunking a 1 hour lecture and turned out to be the winner of the school level competition!LOL! From then on,I knew this talent could save me from a few more boring lectures at school as well as college and i never missed the chance (to bring out the talent,u know ;) ) .
I,somehow,managed to bag a couple of more prizes for the same .Bad competetion or bad judgement??? LOL ! I leave that for you to answer .
However, here i pen down few poems of mine that I have with me , though most of them are lost ( I know, I'm too careless! )
Please feel free to give your honest opinions ,suggestions and criticisms...I would highly apreciate it!!
Thank you!
Kavitha B
