The shadow of your smile!

  

For aspirations have taken flight

 We have to mount that height,

Toiling that extra mile

To spot the shadow of your smile!

Darkness may perhaps be a phase

For sunshine to ablaze,

Gathering the rays in a pile

To glance the shadow of your smile!

The path can be quaking and boggy

And future all smoggy,

But I won’t give up for awhile

To glimpse the shadow of your smile!

For there comes a time

When in the wind, the bells chime,

And we are not afar the aisle

Then it gets difficult, to hide the shadow of your smile!!

Evoke, emulate and evolve!

Even when her part of the story was veritable

She would smile through the hassle,

Arguing by no means, should be an alternative

This congealed in my mind, all assertive!

She never let me do any household chore

Pampered enough, and was told I’d learn when responsibilities appear,

Now whilst doing every errand

I evoke, imitate and it’s no less than a magic wand!

She tried to mould herself in every situation

Compromising won’t lessen your position,

So my frown turns into a grin

When I visualize the scene!

Doing every work so diligently

Yet so quickly,

Always made me marvel

Now, even I finish my work with the same sparkle!

Even unknown people came with their sorrow

She showed them a new tomorrow,

Now when friends discuss with me their disquiet

I recall her gestures, and make them alleviate!

She treated other’s children with equal consideration

And never let them feel unseen,

I learnt, there’s nothing like one’s own or someone else’s

It’s about how well we empathize and feel it en masse!

She fulfilled everyone’s needs with equal attention

And never got perturbed, even if someone nitpicked,

Calm and composure should be one’s best friend

Emulating this in my life makes it serene!

She never scolded, she never preached

But she said a lot with her deeds

Eloquently yet naively, I learnt my life lessons

Which only very few can bestow!

Manners and etiquettes taught alright

However things beyond these mattered in a plight,

Selflessness is such an art

Which only a mother bequeaths through her heart!

One learns only when he sees

Setting an exemplar with such an ease,

Doing stuff against it, feels like a lapse

I wish to follow your footprints till my journey elapses!

Still afar !

When the dusk sets in

And birds fly back to their kin,

Pretty Betty flips a coin

Reminiscing her virtue and sin!

Subsequently she receives a postcard

From her beloved bard,

She can’t help but sing and dance hard

Trimming away her belly lard!

She takes out the calendar

And mark the days not so far,

To book that booth in the coffee bar

Not forgetting to polish her car!

Making her home tidy and neat

Is definitely on her list of feat,

Maybe she is going a bit off beat

Or is it just the summer heat?

Even the winds have gone wild

But her inner self is in a tone so mild,

As if everything seeming gild

Yet like a child!

Crash! And there, comes a bellow

Asking for help of a fellow,

How has purple turned to yellow?

When dreams were all mellow!

Now as he cannot be found, who will sing that quixotic song?

When she gets in the doldrums for long,

And do right to her wrong

Why responsibility and solitude come in sync like a bell buzzing- ding dong!

This is in response to the Write Tribe Contest #1 

When you say nothing at all..

When my heart connects with yours

It articulates like never before ,

Your heartbeat tells me

That it throbs for me!

When world seems incomplete

And you look into my eyes,

As if reading every word I were to voice

Thus I know how everything is now complete!

When you walk by my side

I know it’s going to be voyage long yearned,

And when you smirk at me

It makes me feel pretty!

And as I listen to your silence

I know what you have to say,

Because you say it best

When you say nothing at all !

Take a leap, before you fall !

Someone’s waiting for you at the backdoor; gaze around before you move on. That someone might not wait for you eternally. When you feel you have achieved everything in life, sit back and realize how you made it up there and get back to those who stood by you, believed in you. Love happens every day, with things and people around you, feels their presence ,watch that random kid riding his bicycle for the first time, that guy struggling to walk with his crutches, catch the first drop of rain , these are some things which are worth living through. Never forget little things in life, while you are in a rat race. You are in that race not to achieve great achievements but taking pleasure out of petite things in life. And for that you need to halt and look around, see beyond those smiling faces and those shallow praises. It shouldn’t occur that you have gone past so many things that when you reach heights, you find everything blurred instead of more clear.

So, fear less and live more, listen to the music which is played by life ubiquitously, and sway along with its tunes. Shy less and articulate more, that jiffy might never happen again. Live for what your heart yearns for and not for any show business. People forget and overlook things and folks as easily as that blooming flower in their garden. So make time for your fad and go for it, never dread that tumble , because sometimes you just have to pick yourself up and carry on.

Take a leap, before you fall

Sniff the wind

Which carries a scent from a distant land,

Whisper those sweet nothings to him

Take a free fall;

And take a leap before you fall !

Someone loves you out there,

Give him your time

Earn a penny less

Spend the rest lavishly, pal;

And take a leap before you fall !

Have faith in your dreams,

They do come true

Work that tad more

Then go for the ineffectual;

And take a leap before you fall !

Don’t hide that drop of tear,

Wrangle with the cause of it

Toil and labor till 

The grin on your pretty face is back;

And take a leap before you fall !!
