If not for your care

Sometimes I wonder,

If not for your messages
about what I eat,
I would surely be
a little more lean.

If not for your calls
inquiring about my health,
I would be lying
on a hospital bed.

If not for your teasing
about what I wear,
I would be moving
in torn clothes and rags.

If not for your nagging
about my beard,
I would look like
a dacoit without fear.

If not for your care
though different it may be,
I would be miserable
and survive barely.

Time

Time.

The Past
haunt's me,
it is dead,
mistakes,
memories,
pain,
plague,
in my mind,
it will stay.

The Present
awe's me,
a gift,
is now,
take it
or
leave it,
is moving,
it won't wait.

The Future
taunt's me,
a dream,
beautiful
or ugly,
is unknown
is distant
but
it will come.

I Believe

I believe.

When I was Hated,
YOU gave me Love.

When I was Crying,
YOU made me Smile.

When I was Broke,
YOU held me Tight.

When I was Lost,
YOU gave me a Path.

When I fell Down,
YOU helped me Up.

When I was in Pain,
YOU gave me Joy.

When I was Lonely,
YOU gave me Comfort.

When I had lost Faith,
YOU made me a BELIEVER.

When I Saw You.

 

 

When I saw you.

When I saw you, you seemed like;

like a blooming rose,
like a girl whom any guy would propose.

When I saw you, you seemed like;
like a thin ray of light,
like a burning candle in dark night.

When I saw you, you seemed like;
like the breeze of fresh air,
like my mother's love and care.

When I saw you, you seemed like;
like a beautiful wave of the sea,
like you were always meant for me.

A Lovable Guy

A guy out there
is meant for you,
to be the love of your life,
to be your best friend and soul mate.

He'll brush the hair
out of your eyes,
He'll send you flowers
when you least expect.

He'll stare at you
during movies,
He'll quote poetry for you
though he may sound goofy.

He'll buy gifts and dresses
which may not be the best,
He'll call and message all time
to show that he cares.

He'll try,
do everything,
to keep you happy,
to keep you safe.

But you aren't
going to be his first or his only.
He has loved before,
but if he loves you now what else matters?

He is not perfect,
You aren't either,
But you both
will be perfect together.

Remember, he loves you,
in every possible way.
So hold him tight
and never let him out of sight.

(Note- My version of Nicholas Sparks Quote.) 

Arrange Marriage

"Son, I found you a girl,
You are 23, ready for the challenge,
To be a Husband
and give me a Grandson"
said my Father.

Uncomfortable silence
Lingering in the air;
Far from speaking,
Confused and bewildered there I stand.

A low and hesitated voice
finally emerged,
"But Father I don't know that girl.
How can I marry some-one
without being in Love?
Let me search,
please wait, till I find True Love"

"Don't be naive."
my Father urged,
"Meet that girl,
you will learn to love.
Your Great-Grandfath­­er,
Grandfather and me,
all married and found love like this.
In the society we live,
this is how it is done."

"No" argued me,
"I don't want,
a Loveless marriage,
Even in my dreams,
with a stranger, I can't live."

"Enough discussion,
this topic is over.
Tomorrow you will meet
your future wife,
and with her you will live
your life "
commanded Him.

A few weeks later,
I find myself,
in shackles with a stranger,
Getting married.
Standing a dumbstruck pair.

In shock I stumble,
and wake up from bed.
Relieved to see,
that it was, just a dream,
horribly gone bad.

Important Note- It is a work of fiction. Nobody is forcing me to get married. :P
