कविता

ज़िन्दगी की आहट को तुम्हारी ज़रूरत थी
तुम ना मिले सब कुछ मिला
मिलने के बाद बिचडने का गम ने किया ये आलम ||

हमारा जो भी था छोड़ने को तयार हुए
तो पता चला
तुम लौटथे ही – सब कुछ जो भी था मेरा
कबका खो गया और में फिर से बन गए तेरी ||

अब तेरी रहकर राह न मिले तो
तुम लगा लेना गले से और कह देना ज़माने से की
एक ही तो ‘कविता’ है जो मेरी थी
अब बर्पूर मेरी होकर रहेगी ||

Thoughts.........!

How much ever I try to remember,

The more it is difficult for me to bring those memories.

How much ever I try to rack my memory,

The more difficult it is for me to recreate those moments.

But this much is so true that -

I know not what, when and how things could have been

It happened in a daze and went in a flash

There are years that have gone by knowing not “where you have been?”

“What you were doing?”

I know now that it is difficult to make those days come

As it is difficult to feel for the days that are going by -

From ‘Nowhere’ to ‘Here’ you are and you forever to stay

Where you are, right now, right here…!

Dad...!

Mother, is someone who gives life to us…!

Dad, is someone who holds our breath till we last…!

I agree, mother nourishes us and brings us forth into this world

Dad gives us all the necessary things to get us flourishing…!

We learn to walk, talk, laugh and cry on his hands and soul…!

We report and deport to him as and when we can,

He is there even when you don’t want him….

He is there in all your first’s and lasts…

Each time you say this is your first time, he says, “I know….”

Each time you say this is your last time, he understands.

You tell him it is so pleasant and you have never felt it before….

He says, “Yeah it is one of a kind…go and cherish…”

He knows he is fading in his duty…

He wants you to be happy forever and lets us do all that you could do in his lifetime…!

He is there even if he isn’t…!

He takes the role in your spouse and you see him blooming once again!

Being a mother can be an experience…

Being a dad is lifetime achievement….!

That happens only once and that is when you tell him, “You are a dad…!”

Forlorn Love!

Oh! It was for you that I learnt so much…!

It was you who saw me grow from a small girl to a maiden

You are the one who brought in so many changes

You stood by me when I failed

You stood by me when I fared, fled and came back…!

You saw me fall in love and raise in hate…

You filled me with joy when you poured

You had me sway in happiness when you gave me that warmth…!

You are the one I always lorn to get back

It is where I would want to breath my last and end my day…!

To you come always in wonder…

You expand and show me your width

I wonder how you grew so huge and spread with crawled legs…

I like you for the way you are and what you make of me

I am wanting to be with forever and ever after

Happily will I engage myself…in the soliloquy that we converse!

I am longing to be with you my love…

You are all that I can ask for…

You made me what I am today and will stand grateful!

My first city of love – Chennai!

Did I?!

Did I ever tell you?

You are so sweet and dear…!

You make me shiver…

You make me shudder…

You make me smile and shun away in shy!

You make me feel wet…

You make me yonder in love….

You make me wait for you…

You make me drool for you!

I just love the way you are….!

So pure, so white…and so sharp that you prick me with your love.

You are my thirst and you drench me with a shower…!

Every time I am with you I wish for more

The more I have of you the more I look for you

You seem to come to me like a summer dream…!

I am yours…come take me!

Oh! Sweet Rain…!

Mom & Me!

Inspired by a conversation between me and my mother…!

As a toddler

She is a pretty little thing

That walks and talks with her

The plaything that makes her wonder?!

As a grown-up

She is the smart girl in the locale

That keeps her always on toes

The flower bud, that makes her bewilder?!

As a teenager

She is the Queen Rival – outright

The praises and looks that she deserves

Are here’s now, without hereto?!

As a Woman

She is the perfect bride

For a man’s nest that can render

The counterfoil for an aging soul?!

As a mother

She is the toughest kind

For the roles now reversed

All she needs is your care?!

You and I are the shades of us

In a hidden bean, which

Gives away aroma, when roasted

In a perfect blend for life…!

You and Me.....!!!

It was mailer announcement for SALSA DANCE classes for those who are interested, I was just looking at the picture and the beautiful couple in a pose, in poster that is replicated here.

I was impressed by the couple and their pose, so mind started rattling and I wondered what if they had been alive and what would they have conversed...So here is what he says to her!!!!
*********************************************************************************

Tonight, we dance on the floor
Yeah, we shall vibe together….
Hand-in-Hand and Legs sweeping the tide
There will be music and fun
You will be in my arms and I look into your eyes….

Your body will touch mine with a flow
The desire intervened in a strand of joy
The heat of the bodies melting the space in-between
We will jive together and rock the floor….

Stride after stride I join you with the same vigor
You give way to your valor and hold still harder
Giving me the pleasure of feeling you closer
Here in my arms and feeling us together….

When the night is dawn and gone
I remain etched in your bone
Feeling you in every inch of the tone
When I say the few words, to you
In those ears that compliment the beautiful face
My love, let us do a SALSA…………right now!!!

-Kavitha

State of Mind

I have a small mind of mine
That rakes my soul for answers
I don't know or rather feel frightful at the answer

I look into bleakness and expect it
To answer back!!!

I wonder if there was anybody at the other end
Would come to my rescuse
But I am not able to see, they helping me!!!

I sent prayers and wishes for it
When I get it I don't know
What to do with them!!!

What state of a mind is this
I live with!!!

Help is within 'You' cries my mind
Consantly and endlessly
I heed to it, I am back to square one
Looking into bleakness
And hoping someone would come by!!!!

Leaves

Leaves, gently slowly they fall,
The length so clear, it certainly touches the dust.

Look…!
Contagious shape,
Its lifeless dryness
Look at the drift.

Like an impatient lover’s kiss
That falls closer to the lady’s cheek.
So low and dull the voice,
Like the derail that fell,
On the lady’s nape

Look, an ever gracious fall…!

Without You…

Without You…

Life is so dull.

What shall I say?

I love you more than ever!

Ever since you left,

The nights and days,

Seem so dreary and devilish.

Certain days of beauty,

Came to a sudden hush;

I know you aren’t the

Redeemer.

Do come back to me…

For I am longing more, than ever I can say.

Every single life of mine, is readily rendered for you,

Just come back, my love…

There is no place, as dearer than us.

You

I disown you

My treasures turned to belongings.

I despair you

My reverences turned to strangeness.

I dislike you

My delights turned to horrors.

I misbehave you

My pleasures turned to destiny.

I saw you

My hatred turned to indulgence.

I heard you

My negligence turned to indulgence.

I dreamt you

My remembrance turned to memory.

I liked you

My destiny turned to desire.

I desire you

For you became an ever lasting deprivation.

Waiting for you....!

It was a pleasure,

Mild and bitter.

It was a relish,

Brewed and raw.

It was a delight

Ensured and forwarded.

It was a dessert,

Devoured and desiccated.

It was a royalty,

Engaged and authentic.

It was purity

Heartened and spirited.

It was all worth ‘Waiting for You’,

Waiting for you was it all…!

Banks of Life...!

I was here, on the banks of life…

Waiting solely and patiently,

Till life takes care of me!

The soul in me was crying,

For the pain aging and dying,

Along the banks, till dawn to dusk,

No matter, who came and went.

I knew I was incomplete.

Several songs and tunes,

Gathering around to fill my soul,

None could compare to the song of ‘you’!

You were with me,

My life and soul souring high,

To gather the flocks of ageless beauty

But, a cyclone of emotions

Swept me away from the tender moments

Make me realize…

Life is tougher then being with ‘You’!

Leaves

Leaves, gently slowly they fall,

The length so clear, it certainly touches the dust.

Look…!

Contagious shape,

Its lifeless dryness

Look at the drift.

Like an impatient lover’s kiss

That falls closer to the lady’s cheek.

So low and dull the voice,

Like the derail that fell,

On the lady’s nape

Look, an ever gracious fall…!
