SHERU.....

I had everyone but still felt lonely,
The home was not so homely;
I used to walk with a desire to run
But with me there was no one.

Then came you with that big smile and waging tail
and I felt like reading a fairy tale;
Everyone said that your smile was my imagination,
maybe they couldn't feel our situation.

It was about you that I kept thinking all day and night,
when you tugged in the blanket with delight;
and I would just wait for the sun to rise
To see your cute face again in that furry guise.

The time we spent together I cherish the most,
Specially the one when you were lost;
I felt like half alive without you,
What to do for those three days, I had no clue.

Now that you are old and don't wanna play,

I know you feel sad for me but even I want it that way;

I still love rubbing my face against yours,

Exactly the way you did with that tiny nose of yours.

I know how much in pain you are when you jump on me,

You pulling my blanket every morning,

that's all I ever wanna see.

No one can ever replace the bond that you and I have,

God I wish you still had the energy to misbehave !

And then I would pick you up in my arms

and hug you tight, 

that would again make my day bright.

Coz you will live in the words that are immortal,

so not just me but anyone who reads this will remember you;

Always a brother, a friend, the being most trustful

And I will always love you.......... SHERU !!!

Not a Pawn...♟♟♟

How far would you go to see your dream come true,
The journey that begins to achieve a milestone or two.

The panting breath, which does not run but you run out of it,
The debilitated walk, which takes down even the fit;

Would you not be thinking of it as futile after few failures,
No, you do not because of your endeavor;
Coz you did not choose this, but your heart did,
and for it's longing, you know you are doing splendid.

The everyday hustle from dusk till dawn,
So that no one could see you around;
You stood up every time for another round,
Because you refused to go down.

With every step walked, and every mile covered,
You'll have both praises and new challenges showered.
But for what its all worth, you still carry it on;
Because you know that in this game of life you're The King and Not a Pawn!

I WANNA LIVE LIKE......

I rejoice those tiny raindrops and petrichor,

It brings me back the childhood which the world says is over

But they tend to be unaware,

that it's not until one knows how to refurbish the moment.

I rejoice those tiny laugh at small things , because I feel it

Not because I can understand it but because I'm still alive;

Not just to interact, but alive at my heart;

As I wish to explore more, the life I have not yet.

It's a bliss, the life which gives me an ecstasy everyday

And the one which I don't have yet for which I shall Strive;

Because for every step closer to you I feel the rapture.

Which is why I shall come to you an astonishment,

But it's me who at the moment might be so.
