Poems

Poems! Arrgh....I hated them when I was at school, I used to wonder as to why would anyone prefer writing in such a cryptic way to convey their deepest thoughts. But I never knew that one day I would be doing the same, the discovery of my poetic abilities was much of an embarrassment to me.

In all I have composed nearly about 15 poems, but as I don't have them all here to put on the website I am putting just a few of them.

• Those sparkling eyes...
• Loss of Valueable Energy

Those sparkling eyes....

Those sparkling eyes that hypnotize.
That dazzling smile
that stretches to a mile.
That sweet voice which on entering my ears
tells me that my love is near
were not the things which caused me to love you,
then what was it that I saw in you?

Was it your nature, generosity or grace
Or was it a mixture of the three in trace.

Knowing not why I love you
I cannot live without you

But soon we will separate hoping to meet again,
And to remain together forever,
For hope helps to succeed in one's endeavour.

And till the time I conquer
I will keep on searching for a pair of sparkling eyes,
a dazzling smile and a sweet voice,
which would tell me that
you are near...near to my heart.

Loss Of Valueable Energy

I knew it before long it was love,
It was you who was my dove.
Flying high in the sky,
in the end you made me cry.

I expressed it before it was late,
you accepted it withour hate,
illusioned there I sate.
But soon I learned it was over before it began,
you crushed me like a pepsi can.

There in silence and in a gloomy mood,
on you again and again I brood.

There in darkness, in comes a beam,
which wakes me from my dream.
Wiping a tear from my eye
I give out a sigh.

My eyes wander to a clock
and widen with a shock
For I had learned that I was late (for work)
and knew that love was not my piece of cake.
