If only I could tell you "How much I love you"...

They told me you have gone,
They said you will never again be around..

Cry if you want to,
mourn if you feel like,
But remember she wanted you to be strong,
So dont over - do it,
Get up, wipe off the tears and keep this rolling on..

Amazed I was, at what had just happened,
This is not what I had planned..

Didn't I tell you I would be back?
To bring home laurels that you had sought..
All I told you was to wait, not for years or months, but only some days..

Had you once told me, you couldn't wait,
I would have not left, seized every moment that I could,
Sat beside you, held you, caressed you, pampered you and loved you till the last breath...

This sinking feeling shall always stay,
Your eyes were looking for me, but unaware of it I was miles away..

You were finally laid to rest,
I knew not for what God put me to test..

But like an obedient daughter, I did what I had always done..
Completed what you had sent me for..

Came back home after days only to realize,
That our house is now empty and what lies here are nothing but only your memories..

I am struggling hard,
I need you around, to hug me tight and bless me right..

I wish I could only tell you how much I love you Maa....

First Time!!!

There has to be a first time in life for everything.

The first step forward to carve a path in this world,
The first day at school, at college..
The first crush- Oh I can write a whole post on it ;-)
The first Love - which may or may not be as you perceived..
The first day at work, the first salary, the first promotion.....The list goes on and on and on.....

So here this is, My first Blog - where I can do something that I love doing the most - writing.. where my thoughts flow into words and I can pour out my heart.

I have had this flair for writing ever since I was in early school days. Creative writing competitions and the award ceremonies that followed always brought in a sense of accomplishment to me. I was termed as the Shining star. This passion continued until Senior secondary and then into college. But gradually began to wane. The star began to dim and started getting lost into something that was not worthwhile.

But the star is here again, to do what it is known for SHINE..because it loves itself and wants to be happy about its own existence :) :)
