Happy Place

In those misty mornings, my heart was in a happy place…
The rain drops on the green grass outside my home
The muddy streets with corn peels strewn about
I waited for that familiar beep and sight, that smile, those eyes…

In those mid-night snacks, my heart was in a happy place…
The non-stop giggles and senseless banter, yet
The competitive spirit to beat and conquer
We were the ladders and the ropes, to push up and pull, to remain afloat…

In those rushed evening hours, my heart was in a happy place…
The tired yet unceasing hands and that cool affectionate smile
The anger and hunger and childish fights
One meal together, unbreakable bonds, giving the true meaning of life…

In those tipsy rendezvous’, my heart was in a happy place…
The evenings full of high spirits and thrill
The buddies and mates, all ready for something chilled
Each shared memory, to treasure and keep, to reminisce…

Fairytale Wedding (2nd December 2010- Tracy and Oliver)

A Castle, a Chariot and a colourful Rainbow
Nothing left to chance, preparations Galore!
A bride most graceful and a charming groom
followed by a band of colours in full bloom.
Family, friends and loved ones
To bless the couple, tons and tons
Life with meanings not yet explored
Await my sweet friend at her new abode!!

Moods of my love

For the love of my life who adds a spark to my each waking day...

Warm, tender, soft embrace
Firm, gentle, compelling ways
Wondrous, lively, naughty gaze
Grave, intense, somber days
Truly, My love,
You never cease to amaze!!

Our journey together!-- Veena's last day today in PB

Words cannot describe our relation in these last 4 years, yet this is my humble poem to say she is special to me in everyway and will always be!

To,
Veena,

Our journey together!
Our years together seem so short today
Now that you leave us, I feel I still have so much to say,
The moments we have spent together can never be erased
I will cherish those immensely in the coming days.

Ordering breakfast now is not going to be as much fun,
Tasting food before you eat it, won’t be needed to be done,
One wink, one nod, one nugde and one last laugh we share today,
Yet my heart is heavy with sorrow, as this is your last day!

Punctuality, cleanliness and organization I’ve always admired in you
Your caring, kind, warm and energetic nature is real and true.
Ours joys and sadness we have shared time and again
Your kind supporting words have always eased my pain.

Although we’ll miss you, I know you will be around
A phone, an email, a short walk away!
I wish you all the happiness, joys and success today
Hope all our memories together, always add smiles to your day!!

With Love

Life Today

Boring, boring, boring days
Hope this is just a passing phase
Each day, I wake up with a half a mind
Drag out of bed and begin with the grind
Plop, plop, plop the drops of water fall
I can’t even be bothered to describe it all!

Long and tedious is the tread to work each day
Oh god! Couldn’t we just play for our bread and butter, I say!
Why, Oh! why, should I warm my seat all day
When all I want to do is have some fun and play.

Life is not all games, mom always says
What IS life exactly then, I’m still in a bit of a haze.
When the fun and games are out, everything becomes a little weary
Don’t know what’s the point then, it’s all so dreary.

I hope for better times, more rays of light
Encircling our lives with days more bright
Hopefully, work won’t always be such a drag
Of my laurels one day, I will surely be able to brag.

One last day

One last day we spend with you
Seems like the end but surely, that’s not true.
Times with you we will cherish forever,
Coz there’s not been a dull moment with you ever.

One last day we spend with you together
We’ve seen you transform and been thru tough times together,
You moved from a being a manager to a friend to a mother
You will be missed, you’re one of kind, there’s simply no other

Years will fly by and life will move on,
Children will grow up and tensions will be gone.
Then one day we will meet again
Hopefully, that time we will part with less pain.

We wish you good luck from the bottom of our hearts
It’s always so tough for good friends to part
Let’s hope for the best, as in the end,
You never know, we may meet soon at the next bend.
