Happy B'day Mummy (a poem)


I've never written anything for you
but today I'm going to dig deep,
all through these layers of people
who in my heart I keep.
You are buried deep down
sometimes I'm ashamed,
I have to look for you amongst people long gone
from my life,who now can never partake.
You know I don't possess much of you
and in a way that's no loss,
because I don't want you to be
associated with any of my flaws.
Ofcourse you have your own
but I know now where those stemmed from,
you know that it's all great now
because it's all in the past and our now is awesome.
You are my strength
and I always put you last,
this summer was an eye-opener though
made me realise what a fool I was.
Mommy dearest,as I write this 
I can't stop my eyes from welling up,
just to think that I showed you poems I wrote
for all but never showed in writing towards you my love.
But it's never too late
to startover,
never too late to straighten things up
and give our love a little makeover.
I'll start by saying something
I tell Taher everyday,
that I can try but like you I can never be
because you were made from the finest clay.
You are awesome,I admire and aspire to be
like you,a great seamstress and your efficiency
I admire most,also your discipline,courage,
chirpiness,perseverance and punctuality.
I know you always tell me 
that I can be what I want to be,
if only I try but I find that impossible
this apple mother dearest has fallen far from the tree.
You are so special that you've won
Taher over and Abbu,Abbu loves you too much,
they both are crazy about you
your kindness and concern has that magical touch.
So this is extra special Mama
I've said all that I over these years wanted to say,
but yes I hate how you all become one and gang up against me
now we all will gang up to wish you a very Happy Birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY
LOVE YOU LOADS.

Today is my Mom's 56th b'day,we're cool with stating our age hence i mention.Mother is the best,ofcourse all mothers are but if this perfect me aspires to be like her,then she must be extra special right,agree? Besides someone who's raised such a gem ought to be fantastic right,agree?(self praise is good esp.when no one praises you)
Now if you think i'm superb then you ought to meet my kid brother,he is the most wonderful human being on this planet,kindest soul ever,he's younger to me by only a year and a half and he's my buddy.He's my 4 a.m friend and goes out of his way to help me if i need.I think Mother and me are very lucky to have Taher(my hubby) who's more dear to my mother than I,no jokes,my brother, beautiful men as our support system,and Abbu ofcourse is one of those men but my brother too is blessed with a boy who's one year and six months old,our littlest addition.So yes Mother and i are nestled in warm love always and as we all know that men love more unconditionally than women,all the more special our lives.Mother is blessed to have this beautiful line up of a family...enough gloating,i know,will stop here.Taher is my husband's name,Abbu is my son's.

Back In The Groove (a poem)



I see
rather clearly
your world has been restored to it's former glory
you're very well back in the groove without me
but I'm loving this
I enjoy your bliss
infact I think it's perfect
when I think that I had an effect
on you   albeit for a shortwhile
it makes my life a little more worthwhile
your joy is my joy
Absolutely

Don't you love it when someone you know is doing well,even if it means that you don't get to be a part of their life,don't you love it when you have an effect on people irrespective of whether it was good or bad,just to think that you could touch someone's life is an out of the world feeling.Don't you think?

To My Dearest Aunty Kathleen (a poem)



Hello,Miss.'Smiling Irish Eyes',
don't hear much from you,
I miss you loads,almost thrice,
but soon I'll see you.

Before that I have to say,
that though time's less,
I never forget to pray,
pray that you are fine and that God bless.

I hope you haven't forgotten me,
now sometimes in my dreams you come,
your thought alone makes me feel glee,
I hope for me in your mind you have place some.

You are one of my most favourite people on earth,
I miss you and love you a ton,
love for you,of that there's no dearth,
cause you're special,in the whole wide world just one.

I hope the world down under is treating you fine,
I'm sure you must've made beautiful memories of good times,
I hope you're thinking of me,the way I am of you,
and on this side of the world,there's never a day that goes by without me thinking of you.

Love you loads,Aunty Kathleen.

Aunty Kathleen is my friend Karen's mother,we bond like a house on fire.She's beautiful,thoughtful,caring,kindhearted,sensible,profound but also immense fun and young at heart.Before blogging,i used to ask her to review my poems and she'd indulge me with a feedback always.Infact she's the one who suggested that i put my poems on a site.I'm thankful to her for a lot of things,esp.for the support she's been but mostly for being there for me when she needn't have to.When Abbu came into this world,Aunty was there with me throughout for 8 hours or so inspite of my Mom being there for me and she was the one who announced that i delivered a boy,i always wanted a boy and in India the law forbids knowing the sex of the baby before delivery.So it was such a joy to hear esp.from Aunty that i was blessed with a boy,i remember her saying  "Seema you did it" and i was then handed Abbu and i cried and laughed and we hugged.I can never in my life forget what immense love and support and some shouting too i got from Aunty dearest.She's special,we're special.Love her and her name Kathleen in Irish means "Smiling Irish Eyes". She's in Australia visiting her son and she's been gone a long time,i hope she comes back safe and sound and soon.Her i love,miss and think about.

Ripped By Soft Ripples (a poem)



What do you have left
         when all is taken
What do you have left
       when all is broken
What do you have left
when you possess not even a token
(of being a part of someone's thoughts)

You are left barren and shaken
...........ripped by soft ripples

Inspired by the picture and the reflection of barren tree branches and a lone bird perched on it.Depressing i found.Sometimes life can be all that the picture stands for,or maybe only i see that.What do you see?

My Ink Flows Only For You (micro poetry)







Micro poetry for a change.Sometimes just a few lines are enough to convey volumes I've learnt.To the one who I love tenderly,deeply,whose hands I love to grab.My Ink flows for you my beloved.

Cold Swirl (a poem)


Cold


In my heart I am cold
you asked for it you told

Hold

I hold back tears
You don't hold me hence we're cold

Mould

I thought I could mould you
You didn't even try because you didn't want to hold

Fold

I fold my heart in an envelope for you
you didn't even bother to work on me when me you could easily mould

Told

I know you told
told me that around the idea of us your brain cannot fold

I am stone cold

You are stone cold

Perfectly served.

I've tried something different this time.A swirl of words,following each other,i don't know if i've been successful in conveying what i had in mind.This is not autobiographical,ofcourse.This time i was inspired by some rhyming words,i thought it would be fun if i could use these words to whip up a story.Now if this is good or not is for you to tell me.I hope it atleast made some sense.Thank you.
