SOMETHING I LOOK AT-4

I missed the touch

I hardly felt

Cherish the moment

I never had

Long for the glances and smiles

I never looked at

Desperate for that love and emotion

So dearly conserved in her heart

Where I never peeped into and cared for

Days were worry some

Nights were colourless

But gone are those

For I am in love for the first time

And a truly meaningful life is ahead

What ever gone will never come back

To lament for it

Is to miss the present

Forget and forgive

For the tomorrow is all your's

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-3

I search for it

In the lost paradise

In the solitary confinement of Taj

In the tears of Sahajahan

And in all

That is beautiful and scintillating

I search for it

in meadows and mountains

in poverty and affluence

in hopes and despair

It eludes my grasp

For it is a feeling

A feeling of completeness

One has after being

Completely becoming one's

Letting and forgetting the world around

A glimpse of it

One can have

After emptying oneself

When every beat of heart

Throbs for it

Every drop of blood

Flows for it

For the sake of it

One can live and die

For it is so fulfilling and enriching

Makes life a paradise on earth

To have it

One has to have

A pair of eyes

That only sees it

A loving heart

That only feels it

And a simple mind

That only reciprocates it.

Something

Everyone relishes

But few have it

For platonic love

Is hardly realised

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-1

I love you

For you have in you

The sentiments and emotions of all

From a child in his teens

To an old guard

Looking at the world

Through a pair of coloured glasses

And repenting

Why you were not there

When he was

Yong and cheerful

l like you

For you have witnessed

Love and frustration

Agony and apathy

Emotions at extreme

Yet remained indifferent

Untouched by it

You are a good friend

For you never carry me away

And let me

Loose touch with reality

And a platform

To look at me

And the world around

With all dexterity

I love you

For you have in you

The beauties of the world

The thought of present

And the passion

Of yesteryear's

I like the way

You carried yourself

Over the years

Silently enduring

The sorrows and happiness

Unfolded on you

You remained within

But above it

And carried only some likes

And comments

Which are never your's

I do not know

If it is face book

On which I share views

Or it is the mirror

I daily look atight
