Teen Thoughts

Time

Time; the future of humans,
Time is just like gold
Day by day, night by night time goes,
It cannot get back in any action
But, we must
use time in meaningful way,
Time; the most precious gem.

Classmates

Dedicated to all my classmates in Grade-9

They were strangers to me in 2003, 26th of May,
Just a bunch of noisy and naughty children,
But I can't believe what happened in 2004? We were much closer,
Even more closer in 2005
Best friends in 2006,
And our relationship grew to be of more than brothers
and sisters of one family during the following months.

Whatever problem I face, I face it with them,
My dear classmates all of you are,
Worth to me than thousands of stars,
And I promise to help all of you at any situation,
Just wanted to let all of you to know
that there is someone who cares for you!

My soft flower

Spreading the rays of the sun with glamour
Touches the petals of my soft flower
Unfolding her petals she smiles forever
Engulfing my world with fragrance forever.

Though she and her fragrance is mine forever
To pick it and cuddle I never desire
But sit shall I by her forever
And whisper my love to her desire.

Although we've met on a terrestrial land
Our names are written on celestial sand
We'll walk together on a terrestrial land
And our names shall glow on celestial sand.
'Forever and ever and ever and ever'

Loving memory of you....

Never felt such a loneliness
As the day you left us
But dear grandma,
We still love you and want you to come back.

We know that will never happen
In this life we see people
Coming and going
I didn't see you coming
As you did long before me
But I was unlucky to see you going
You were suddenly gone as with wind.

We still love you and that will never change
We always remember you
You loved us all, protected us all
And taught us the way to love others
It was the blessings of yours
Which gave us courage and strength.

I want you to know
And I want you to feel
We will always love you
Despite of your death and ours
We always love you.

(Dedicated to my dear grandma who passed away in July 2002)

Warrior - A Hero to All

Uniform, fits to body for days
as it fits the life.
The life that spent with cents;
Starving, cold, weary, sleepless nights,
Aimed at an endless point
Fearsome moments but, fearless
Because...because you should be so.
To give bread and butter to
Family and security to others
Serve to all under
Heat, shelter unchanged round the clock
Till the last minute.
Now that gain "Full Respect"
Why be under this tent?
Are you that much selfless?
A warrior you really are!
Wish you to get a good shelter next time.
And I, being helpless,
Really helpless, shall
Salute your Noble Service!

Infinity of love

Neither any fence, nor borders
Allow all to enjoy and play,
Turquoise sight, strengthen our minds
While fresh water waves kissing our feet
Smile with sand rapidly runs back
To meet the unlimited space again,
Sailing boats and swimming guys,
Won't be contented forever, forever,
Wearied sun's effort is great.
To catch his friend at once
With glamorous burning rays, he tries
Enchanted by the spell of the sea.
But fails to hug him amidst daylight,
When the dusk falls, bright brazier wins,
Embrace the sea with love
Draws victoriously to prove his glory,
On the smooth surface of the sky
Infinite sea, bearing the whole
Console the ablazed sun, with love,
With love, with eternal redolent love.....

The unknown link

'Rosewell' is again
Along with the memories of you
I still wonder
And I always did
What's the connection between the two
I never figured it out
Don't know when I will
Everything I know is that....
All the hidden memories about you
Comes out in a blink
As soon as I see the title.

Your eyes,
your behaviour
Flashing in front of my eyes
Making me sleepless for whole nights
Making me suffer for whole days
For something I lost,
And for the things I never gained,
About all the unspoken words
between us
But....
I still wonder
What's the link between the two
What is it........?
Who can tell me?
