She.

The sudden mood shift from one to two was just to bring in some fun. Tried my hand at a new emotion ;)..



She, of whom the trees have whispered tidings,
She, who the wind has awaited with bated breath,
She, whose glimpse eternity itself has been biding,
She, whose equal anywhere has not yet been met.

Well actually I bumped into her last week,
And no it wasn't a transfixed first gaze.
Little was I to know it was her I would seek,
With hopeless desperation in a few days.

For it was an elaborate entrapment you see,
She bumped into me one too many times already,
You could safely have put it past serendipity,
She'd firmly decided she wouldn't let me be.

What else was I to do, if not totally fall?
For her black doe eyes and her button nose.
With that angelic smile, her grip of fingers small
She could've charmed anyone, but me she chose.

With her there never could be an argument's end,
But at times she was innocent as a small child.
Deep as you'd like, with her complications to mend,
With the kind of passion that drove you wild.

Oh it was indeed a devious destiny to which I fell,
The universe had plotted the glorious fiasco,
But if someone asked, I still would tell,
That I'd go through it all over and over more.

The Call of the Road

I went on a trek to Ramnagara recently. It was a 50km journey on bikes zipping in the 70's and 80's...an open, endless road, picture perfect weather, and good friends with the prospect of a good trek. What better setting for an idea? :)..


My eyes follow the black snake,
Open for all the eye can see,
The urge to gobble it up, in me,
As I follow the call of the road.

Sun peeps through the grey spread,
The wind plays a playful rhythm,
Idle conversation with a friend,
As I follow the call of the road.

Thoughts run with no abandon,
Secrets spill out from the backseat,
Time has no real significance,
As I follow the call of the road.

And like every perfect circle,
It winds back to where it began,
Life makes all the perfect sense,
As I follow the call of the road.
