Forever With Me

Years before, when i was begotten on mother’s bed
it was you fondled with your hands my forehead.
few good years after, when i was toddler
you taught me to take the stride far and farther
so, there was someone, forever with me.

Walking alone amidst trees and chirping o’ bird
when i am joyless and a bit sad
your warm hand fills my finger gaps
that makes me bloom and full o’ raptures.

In pang, when i sob with hot tears
your soft kisses dry my wet eyes
When dusk’ll hover above me sans moon
you’ll enlighten my ways with lamp o’ boon.

In my last days, when voice turns feeble and bones lazy
your one touch’ll make me feel rosy
e’en on my death-bed, far happier will i be
because, i feel, there’ll be someone, forever with me.


(The poem is complete dedication to God, and no wonder this Poem fetched me a nomination of Amateur Poet Of The Year 2005 by International Society of Poets, U.S.A.)

Kash... I was a writer like you. I would have love to put my thoughts here

Oh Dear Kaustav, nothing like that ki you can't write. To be a writer one doesn,t only need to be master of words, but also master of thoughts. And, being a sensible and thoughtful human being, i feel you can write much better than you think.
