It
Just as slowly as a death walk,
'It' came to me with open arms
I was amazed; in a shock,
For 'It' was drawing me by its charm.
'It' was dressed as a dove,
With a flower in its beak.
The very show of humility and love
She possessed me, I dispossessed myself.
'It' halted by me with her charismatic smile,
A beauty that I had never seen
I hadn't seen it coming; thought it was a mile
Farther; now it had come to me.
There was strange feeling inside me
Of love, evasion and alarm
But 'It', so lovingly caressed me
Dominated me, controlled me.
Suddenly, I showed reluctance to go with 'It'
I struggled, but it was futile.
I recognised Death was 'It',
And Death had come to take me.

A Mother Loves
A mother loves right from the start.
She holds her baby close to her heart.
The bond that grows will never falter.
Her love is so strong it will never alter.
A mother gives never ending love.
She never feels that she has given enough.
For you she will always do her best.
Constantly working, there's no time to rest.
A mother is there when things go wrong.
A hug and a kiss to help us along.
Always there when we need her near.
Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.
So on this day shower your mother with love.
Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.
Give your mother a day to have some peace of mind.
Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.

My heart believes in you
My heart believes in you
I kept my head up high,
And then you came my way.
I have been hurt so many times.
My heart filled with so much pain.
But now that pain has gone away.
For I have found a place I want to be.
This place I see is with thee.
For in your arms I have felt and seen,
A wonderful feeling that I cannot believe.
A safe haven in your arms just for me.
Now I give my heart to thee.
For my heart believes in you.

My love's reminiscence
Amidst those soft music strings and gossipy tales,
Long hour talks where pleasure hails.
My breadth in your heart does dwell,
Never realized when for you I fell.
Pleased am I to be with you,
But there's nothing I can do.
We are not destined to be together,
Just a handful of memories could I gather.
A reminiscence of your charm,
That lightens up my day and makes my cheeks warm!

Heartless
It's been a long time
Since I met you.
Years of friendship
Feels like a lifetime.
Days of laughter and
Games gone far.
Now it's the end
Of our campus days.
You were more than
A friend to me.
It's too late to tell of
My love and I won't.
To my surprise today,
She said she loved me.
And didn't I? she asked
Silence was my answer.
"You are heartless," she said.
It's true my love,
I have given it to you,
A long time back.
