DOWN THE CHILDHOOD LANE

My Grandpa my childhood friend and guide,

Once he was the only reason of my pleasure and pride .

Often in the lone evening

He used to sit on his easy chair

I was his only mate

Age gap never been a matter.

Thousands words we would exchange

We would laugh at each other

As if we are classmate

Who can say he is my grandfather?

Wearing his spectacles on his sharp nose

He would read for me poetry, limerick or  prose .

So many dreams we would bedight

It seemed grandpa will always be there

By my side.

Suddenly came that dead dark night

Poor Grandpa! Against the cruel death

He couldn't fight.

Where are you Grandpa?

My childhood delight!

Console of my sole

My guiding light!

Every evening now a gloomy night

Yet it seems you are here around me

Sometimes in lone twilight.

ONCE BY CHANCE

Once in a life time I met you

It's only my heart who can tell

What I feel for you.

Once upon a time we met by chance

You can tell it happened perchance.

Years passed by decade

About to go

What I feel for you, you never know.

Once those blue eyes captivated my heart

Still none can quench my thirst.

Who are you?

Where are you from

I know nothing

Perhaps love has no norm.

I little know what is called divine

But whatever I feel for you

Always sublime .

You are my destination

You are the rhythm and rhyme.

You are the charming evening

You are my sunshine!

WHY I WRITE

I write because

I love to write.

I write because an another

World for me my pen bedight .

I write because

Writing is there in my vein

Without it my life in vain.

Writing is my passion

May be in the era of internet

It's little out of fashion.

Whenever I write

I speak to my heart

As I dived myself into the world of thought

Nobody can make me hurt,

It's the only way to quench my thirst.

My thought fly

Sometimes over green grass

Sometimes up to the azure sky.

I write because I feel fine

I feel like I'm in heaven

I'm the truth, I’m divine.
