Childhood Days...and the special one!!!!

Those days of pleasure
Are my priciest treasure
When i had endless fun
Even under the sweltering sun

When I trace back my memory
I see a bunch of friends with a joyful me
The other friends blur in a silvery hue
and in front of my eyes, its only you

You were my pal, my friend in need
You were beside me in every deed
You brought shower to a deserted land
You comforted me, hand in hand

When I got hurt, I could see you cry
Before i could ask, your eyes were dry
Your selfless care today I unwind
I'll write everything down, from heart to mind

Our naive games of hide and seek
And completing homework at the end of the week
Maybe our games were a bit bizarre
But it was all fun with my 'LANGOTIYA YAAR'

You always jumped over me for that last chunk of chocolate
But still you remained my bestest mate
The way you innocently looked at me for sharing maggi
And the very next moment snatching the tiffin away from me!

You were an apostle of love and care
You were a soothing song, a dawn's prayer
You were the special part of my ordinary life
Whether we were together or in a strife

When I tore you apart, with my "self" above
You were badly hurt, but still flowed love
All my mistakes you did mend
When I stood straight, you did bend

I apologize for all the times,
When you had to alone sing the nursery rhymes
You were an angel, but i made your days blue
I am really sorry that I lost contact with you

But neither schools nor cities could keep us apart
Life was clever, but not that smart
Today i have got you once again back
But this time, trust me, i won't lose the track

I salute you from my heart for those childhood days
Those memorable moments, those precious plays
And I thank you for blessing upon me that relationship,
That strongest bond called "true friendship"!

Empty Spaces

I sowed a seed of a new relation

I watered it with love, nourished it with affection

It grew huge and tall like trees of Amazon

It caught everyone’s eye, it gained wonderful attention

I loved to see my little sapling soar so high

I thought I was with the perfect man, I wouldn’t deny

The seemingly never-ending pleasure was so nigh

That I never realized, there can be a day when I have to confront a “GOODBYE”

My tree faced the first blazing storm

And experienced how if feels when there is no warmth

And then came the gossip bees, hundreds in a swarm

But my love tree struggled out, these trifling things couldn’t beat its form

But fighting the foes, it had gone weak

The emphatic plant, was turning meek

Its leaves were shedding, for the world seem bleak

But I didn’t let it fall, I secured the leak

My tree grew again with all its might

But this time not alone, I was holding tight

It withstood the scorching days and the dark nights

For the lame men, it was a breath taking sight

But gradually my tree was getting old

And with it my man was getting cold

I was about to face a story untold

The rain had gone, but the winter was ready to unfold

I could experience the chill and the paling leaves

With every drying flower, my chest’s painful heaves

The loss of each thread of love that I dearly weaved

The utter sadness which everyone in love receives

Alas! Here comes the snow

And my love tree has its heart beat low

I approached my man with my footsteps slow

And I could hear him say an icy ‘NO’

For my plant, those couple of letters, were the last

The tree fell with another blast

With the countable breaths, it remembered the past

But those precious breaths left it fast

With my love tree dead, my heart has also lost its beat

Tears flow down, splashing on my feet

His knife of sorrow has penetrated deep

Such that I yelp, I cry in sleep

I looked for him at all the places

I found him, but to his love not any traces

What should I say? I am out of letters, words or phrases

With my love tree dead, what is left are just empty spaces!
