The best laid plans

Sigh, I sit on the edge of my bed (8:40PM)
Recounting the events gone by
I smile softly - recollect moments
Joy of a plan come together..my...

It'd been weeks since I began,
Planning the day with events
The distraction, small surprise,
Followed by your shocked face

Map each little move one-by-one
The peanuts - silly distraction
Little muffin rounded up by cake
Leading up to the closing piece :)

I sit back after a loooong day gone by
And it sinks in, why all effort is naught
To see your face, ecstatic with love
Again, Aye - I shall do it all over again

I see...

There you sit just inches away,
Our eyes do meet, soft - slow
I look away for a second quick
Look back - sure, you're there :)

As you speak, I see your lips part
Your smile, I see now - as radiant
I sink lower in my chair, so slight
Smiling back, and yes now I blink

I munch down quick, eager to get done
For I felt no hunger pester me no more
All I wanted - is spend an extra moment
Just look at you, and see, and more I see. :)

The Drive...

As you walked towards me, face aglow(11:41PM)
I stare at you with a grin, slowing time
The hours of traffic that I endured
Was worth it all, for that face of love

I held your hand, perfect fingers aligned
Held my breath - to hear yours so soft
Touch my cheek,  blink and time comes back
Every image, glance - cherish shall I

The songs we played, the roads we drove
Thoughts that flowed, time froze outside
The time was short, but love was naught
Your memories leave me tingling inside

You draw from me a person unseen
I knew not I could express my mind
In the way that your presence bides
Love, my love - I murmur soft (11:55PM)

Love me like you do...

I look back at you, across the room.
The eyes lock, glow ever so slight
We smile - again a lot said, unsaid
The world fades - out of focus


You speak, words softly leave your lips,
I look back at you, time still surreal
It takes me a moment to make words form
For I could't take my eyes off your face


You tug at my strings when you speak
My heart skips a beat each time you smile
I cannot to this day believe its truly real
My love, that you - love me like you do...

Complete

I listen to your voice, picture your face (9:34PM) 4-Jan-2016
Now at ease, the smile comes through
As I picture your face, I listen - grin
Somehow, your voice - makes me calm


No inhibition,doubt - no fear anymore
Its clicked. For even I could find love
I close my eyes and your face I see
Wait I now, the day you and I are we


I fear not whether I am giving too much
For each word say, you match with one
Its like for every blink, smile and word
Brings us closer, destined together :)


Sometimes I look back at the past few days
For it feels not like days that we've known
Its like you're an angel from yonder unknown
Come to set me free - make me complete  (10:19 PM) 

Sleepless in Bangalore

I lie awake looking at the ceiling… (1:12 AM) 2-Jan-2016

Wondering why sleep still eludes

I close my eyes and all I can see

Are your eyes, face, your smile

I perk my ears and all I can hear

Is your laugh, breath, your sigh

For a second, I lay sightly perturbed

Feeling, this sense of helplessness

Then I remember the look on your face

The trust, the faith - doubt fades away

I smile, doze off my eyes looking into yours

And there - I see, hidden softly inside - am I (1:14)AM

The Gift of New year

The clock ticks by a second at a time(11:40PM) 1 Jan 2016

I smile back at the last year gone by

Amidst a flurry of changes all round,

Lie special moments, frozen in time

Blessed am I for I have work that I love

Friends who believe I am more than I am 

Family that loves - life does slowly unfold

You came out the blue,green nay rose gold

Happy - I had always believed I was

Not for moment did I need any more

Sigh, even a cup that’s seemingly full

Seems almost empty at closer sight

Your voice I sense a tremble so soft

It sends a warm shiver down my spine

For so much was said, with naught said

There was music even in pauses instead

I search for words as I pen this down,

Smile, smile and then smile again for I know

That days to come, hold great stories to tell. 

For now I stand smiling softly at your smile. (12:01 AM) 2 Jan 2016
