Momentary Infinity

Momentary Infinity (23/12/10)

A small hand wrapped

Around a large finger,

The smaller one hurries on,

Desiring not to linger

Big shoes, small shoes,

Colors, smells, sights, sounds,

She pulls him like a dog on a leash,

Here and there; round and round

A pretty red balloon,

Stands out from a bunch of

Pretty little balloons,

Lazily dancing in the air above

Her eyes widen,

Enthralled, spellbound, captivated

The hitherto strong grip slackens,

She steps a little forward; energized, invigorated

And that momentary lapse of contact,

Causes her little hand to slip out

And to separate them in less time

Than it takes for her to shout out

For her male companion,

And once more feel his grasp

Instead she looks around helplessly,

With no red balloon, and no hand to clasp

Her eyes burn, tears threatening

To start; feeling so lost

And feeling desperately that

He must find her at any cost

The people passing by,

Notice not the quivering little frame

Stumbling in a maze of feet and legs,

A dangerously terrifying game,

All of a sudden, hands shoot out

And grab her round her waist

She kicks back in a panicky response

Wishing to be let down in haste

But a familiar chuckle

Stops her and makes her turn and see

The owner of the hands, so strong

Gazing at her fondly

She lets out an excited squeal

And throws her little arms

‘Round the big one’s neck

Reveling in the relief and warmth

And as they depart, hand-in-hand,

A heart-warming sight,

I thank whoever made

Father and daughter reunite.

My old friend

Hey there! Here's my latest poem (written on 25/09/07) . Enjoy!

My old friend

A nice breeze ruffles my hair,
A nice smell tickles my nose,
I catch a fleeting glimpse of someone,
Who in my garden, comes and goes.

I sneak outside the house,
Check if the coast is clear,
I go out to find that someone,
I search high and low, there and here.

I look among the flower beds,
I search behind the trees,
and when I think I've lost that someone,
I hear the sound of rustling leaves.

Quietly do I follow,
This secret visitor of mine,
And just as he escapes,
I hold himin an iron grip so fine.

He turns around and gasps as,
The dawning of realization takes place,
And in turn I bite my lip,
As I look upon his face.

"Hey! I know you!"
We said in unison,
We talked and talked and laughed and laughed,
And recounted old memories one-by-one.

After all these years,
We had met once more,
Old friends we were again,
As we stood hand in hand near the door.

We watched the sun set,
And the night begin to fall,
Then he sneaked away so stealthily,
He was a criminal after all.

It's too late

Hi people! Here's another one of my lyrics (written on 07/09/07). It's a really, really sad and tragic poem. So, if you're the type who cries for such things and is emotional...DON'T READ IT!!! Well,enjoy!

It's too late.

I walk with a steady pace,
The guilt shows on my face,
Though I now regret my deeds,
It's too late.

I erupted like an active volcano,
I should have controlled myself better, now I know,
Though I now repent for my deeds,
It's too late.

She'll never be my friend again,
That's for sure.
She'll never turn to e again,
I know it's true, for

It's too late.

I could have apologized,
But I hung on to my pride,
I wanted to explain, but
It's too late.

All those times I could have made up,
But never made an honest effort,
I should have explained, but
It's too late.

She'll never talk to me again,
It's my own loss,
She'll never look at me again,
I know it's true, because

It's too late.

Years have passed since that day,
And she went to a place, far, far, away,
Tears fill my eyes because

It was too late.

Ocean of thought

Hi Guys! Here are my first lyrics (written on 13/08/07). It is rather like a poem except that it can be sung.And I hope to sing it one day when I'm really good at the Guitar. Oops! I guess I forgot to mention that I'm going for guitar lessons now. Well anyway, enjoy!

Ocean of thought

It's a long and dreary day
My legs seem to move mechanically
Trying to take me far,far away...

The clouds get blacker
Every second that passes away
And I've got nothing to say...

The road in front of me
Forks into two
Which one should I choose?
The one that's false?
The one that's true?

I just can't make up my mind today
I seemed to have shut down my brain again
My ocean of thought, has come to a
stand-still...

Now that it's night-time
There are no screams or shouts
The stars are winking at me from above
so peacefully...

A fast moving car, comes in front of me,
He begins to apply his brakes,
And I stand still, no ideas I can think of
occur to me...

The road in front of me
Forks into two
Which one should I choose?
The one that's false?
The one that's true?

This nightmare is getting to my head
It's time to stop, time to end.
My ocean of thought has come to a
stand-still...

I just can't make up my mind today,
My heart just isn't in it's right place,
My ocean of thought...

I just can't make up my mind today
I seemed to have shut down my brain again
My ocean of thought, has come to a
stand-still...

And I drift away,
Far, far away...

The Invisible Man

Hi there!This is a poem I wrote just yesterday(16/06/07) due to a sudden inspiration I got to write something ending with the phrase 'lies he'. I later found out why: it was because the day before i had read the phrase 'is he' in a Thirukkural translation page hence, I felt the need to write the poem which I now share with all of you. Enjoy!

The Invisible Man

Born in a cowshed
Baptized by a priest
Orphaned in three months
An invisible baby is he.

Sitting under a peach tree,
Unnoticed by a flea
Walking home in silence
An invisible boy is he.

Studying for hours at a stretch
Quite unintelligibly
Not a mark of strain or pressure
An invisible adolescent is he.

Refused jobs everywhere
He wanders back hopelessly
To the place that he was born
Now an invisible man is he.

Lives his years in idleness
All the way up to eighty
Locked forever within himself
Now in a grave lies he...

My trip around the solar system

Hi friends! Here is my latest poem! It is called

My trip around the solar system

I strode along the planets,
Near and far.
I did quite a lot of things,
Listen, here they are:

First I went to mercury,
As per my desire.
But when I stepped upon the land,
My insides were on fire!

I hastened to go to Venus,
Knowing it was Earth's twin.
But it was even worse than Mercury,
Like a volcano bubbling to the brim!

I then proceeded to Mars,
As stealthily as a fox.
But what I saw disappointed me,T
here was nothing there but rocks!

My next trip to Jupiter,
Really was quite fun.
It was bigger than the biggest playground,
With so much place to run!

Next in line was Saturn,
Surrounded by a great big ring.
I went slipping and sliding, up and down,
'Till it was quite tiring.

Now had come Uranus,
It really was quite bland.
The only special thing was,
It had a lot of sand.

Last but one was Neptune,
In a pretty turquoise blue.
It was starting to get real cold,
But as to why I had no clue.

Last but not least was Pluto,
Looking so tiny and shy.
But then I shivered! It was freezing!
For it was not so very dry.

My trip of the planets is over,
It was wonderful to tell you the truth.
Now you can go and see them,
And tell me if you liked it too!

My Dad's office

Syntel
My father goes to office,
like any old dad would.
But all the things that happen there,
I'll let you know
I REALLY SHOULD!

He has a team of 56 people
and he's the boss of them all!
He goes at 9:00 and comes at 10:00
but never smiles
at all!

But to top all the glaring
he really is so nice!
But he really just can't tolerate,
mom's lectures of
advice!

They (his team and him) did the
state street project; which was
their lucky day!
To celebrate they had a party
Hip Hip Hooray!

When I sang , my Japanese songs,
I became the STAR of theshow!
(But the problem was Raj- Appa-Rav
just teased me more and
more!!)

Finally, we reached home.
My dad broke into smile,
(To say:) I really didn't expect this!
For quite a little
while!
