Oh Valentina

I never knew what valentine's is
pardon me ,I thought it was a --
--shakespeare's novel
Just today I came to know
it's a saint's name
& it's lover's day

I can 't say I am a lover
Can I ask you something--
--what is a 'lover'
the def.. confuses me
how come guys who have 6 girlfrs--
--can say they are true lovers
to each one of them
when all the time they are thinking..
..how to get rid of this gal

And talkin' of gals,
how come,their choice
has become so bad
how come they like such boys
who like to show off
don't they know--
-- they'll be feathers in ..
..already overstuffed hats
I bet,there are a no. of other guys--
--your 'secret admirers'--
--who dream of only you
can't u spare a thought for them now
or,maybe some time else

I know among you,the no. of V-cards --
-- is sign of rep,of being hep
you don't consider the feelings anything
It's ''just timepass''for you

So go ahead enjoy another V-day
But remember dear 'valentina'
this 'valentino' will..
... not send a card!!!!


I don't believe in Valentine's day..and this poem has the reasons for same.Written in Nov 1998

Living With Something

I've heard --
     -- everyone lives with a secret
Living with something ain't that strange
 believe me in the depths of mind --
  --there's always something lurking
something you wish to shy away from
 but it does not leave you
'coz the secret's you
  your identity is in the secret
  your mystique is the secret
  you take it or leave it
   that's for you to decide
     and other's to keep away from
     after all how many people can survive
    with their secret's exposed
     to be the gist of all talks--
      -- talks that are ab't you
       ab't your secret
        still there are people
        who are so selfish --
        just thinking they are so open
       ask them to come out just once--
         with their own secret
          and they'll run as if..
          ...they'd seen a scurried rat
           that rat they are themselves



Dedicated to all those people who feel it a sense of pride to poke into other's lives.Wrote it in Jan 1999

Eyes My Fathom

They say ocean is unfathomable
   Well so is the human mind
But not for me,
    for me eyes are the fathom
Judging anger and snear is my forte
  No one 've seen,who gets away --
   -without telling me something ab' t himself
Love is the easiest feeling to observe
  that longingness in the eyes
   that desire to get
    that upper lid movement
  so many expressions,one word ..
've talked to people thru there eyes
  without there even knowing
  I know more about them
   then they would like one to know
   If there's one thing I don't know
    It's a fathomless mind
     I know I can measure it roughly
     even to that person's inconvenience


Well sometimes eyes speak more than what you want to say..

Someone Somewhere

There has to be someone out there--
    - for everybody
I know there's someone for me
I din't believe in all this
  but somewhere along the way
   I felt it in my heart
the last time my heart broke
  the last time I cried
   the last time I felt sorry--
        -- for myself
'm just waiting for that signal!
        from UP there
    and when it comes I'll try anything
        to get her,my LOVE

Wrote this after watching Dil To Pagal Hai movie....it's punch lines inspired this one

Never Too Distant

It's never too distant to think about you
wish to come to you,to embrace you
but can't!! Why I don't know myself
It's good you know,to keep away so as--
-- to be near

You'll remain always in my heart
not in a corner,mind you but --
-- whole of it, 'coz you're my heart

As long as my heart beats,
a wish a desire will always stay there
the wish to see you in form
not in a snap,but in real

We'll definitely meet someday
but an alas!! for now!

Romantic lines from a romantic poet...:)

Keep Your Way

Some times,it happens
  you wish for something
   and you get it

But when it does not happen so
  your wish keeps away -
   -& slips away from you

Just for a second you are in it's shadow
  & that shadow becomes a mist
   before your very eyes & you're -
   -never going to achieve it

DON'T lose heart,just keep on your way
  and a Sun will rise when that mist turns
   into a fog which you can feel
   & then lo!there's your wish in form

One of those poems u never know u wrote till it has been written but I believe this one is to toiling hard and to inspiration

An Eternal Love Story

Here I was sitting in the park
on that same bench after a long time
thinking ab't someone,I'd met & courted there
People are moving here,there
seems as if my old times have returned-
-though as a shadow
Am I seeing things or what,
that's her!!

How come she's sitting there
It's been such a long time since -
since I saw her right here
Right there where I left her--
with tears brimming in her eyes
but,but she had..

I never expected her to be here
I am going to meet her,
to put words to the reality
I went straight thru her
as if moving thru a fog
!!SHE was not there

I sat down on that bench
from where she had been looking
looking as if stright thru me
And,then my eyes fell on ---
--something carved on the bench
"In death we shall meet again"
signed my girl's name

Truth fell upon me,like--
--like a white bolt of lightning
SHE had died waiting for me
who had not even cared for her
there then I died,to meet her--
--in the after life
Our pure form has intermingled
TO BECOME ONE
forever and for ever.....

Wrote this poem somewhere towards end of 2000 and till date my most favourite poem.Hope u like it :)

T O B E Y O U R S E L F

If I had been someone else--
I would have never known
The sheer joy of what I am,
what I could be

I have seen love scattered around me
by my family...my loved ones,
I couldn't have asked for anything better
Only thing I want is--
to be SELFLESS..
like they have been selfless in serving me

Wrote this one in 1998
