LIFE....

Life has so many surprises across t street
But we never live long enough to meet
Those that we do face
Pass us by with incredible pace
And let us walk down the road
With every step we corrode
And finally disappear without an ode....

How to name it?

What is called love?
The answer I don’t know
Why did I fall in love?
I don’t know that either

But I consider myself quite observant
So I think and try to find out
The answer to another question
When did I fall in love?

When the sun glared over my head
And continued the same way for many days ahead
I felt cool standing with you
It was then that I knew I love you

When I walked down the street
And thorns on the road hurt my feet
I felt no pain in walking to meet you
It was then that I knew I love you

I found myself surrounded by vehicles
With all of them, blowing their bugles
But unperturbed, I was thinking of you
It was then that I knew I love you

I was walking in the jungle when a breeze blew
Along with it, a nightingale flew
Upon seeing it, my heart sang to you
It was then that I knew I love you


I took a stroll along the beach
Well within the hugging wave’s reach
I bent down to kiss the wave, thinking of you
It was then that I knew I love you

I stood in the middle of a snowstorm
But it caused me no harm
The drifts were kisses from you
It was then that I knew I love you

I was trying to get across a formidable peak
You had called me there to speak
Undaunted by the height, I came to meet you
It was then that I knew I love you

I was out there in the middle of the night
Trying to read your letter in the moon light
That was a new moon and I managed to read you
It was then that I knew I love you

Sun didn’t burn me, thorns forgave me
Birds brought music and even car horns sang to me
All this reminded me of you
It was then that I knew I love you


The sea tasted sweet and the thorns brought warmth
Heights did not matter and darkness lost its relevance
All this happened because of you
It was then that I knew I love you
