From Shadow to Sun

People like me and you,
Are now my dear very few.
How many free birds do you see,
Questioning and looking at things curiously?

There is this connection we share,
Which in today's world is very rare.
You read my mind like nobody else does,
To you my heart belongs thus.

There are times when just your presence makes me weak,
And through words I cannot say you see,
I then wait for our eyes to meet,
Through them, to each other, a 1000 words we can speak.

Even though I know of the above's existence,
I still have this unknown question,
which keeps me from saying what is true,
that you belong to me and I belong to you.

But now that I see time flies by,
and from each other we become shy,
I'll walk two steps towards you oh treasured one,
Hoping you'll come out of the shadow to meet me in the sun.

Queen and a Pauper

Oh the queen of my dreams,
Don't be so kind on this pauper.
The old man tells me of you,
She is the wind, you can't stop her.

the other day you smiled and said thank you,
I swear it melted even this tough stone,
Awaiting a few words or to hear your angelic voice,
I keep glancing at my phone.

Everything you do or say,
seems an act of perfection,
Even the heavens speak,
speak of your affection.

Sitting below the Banyan tree,
Of you I was as always thinking.
Every second spent thinking of you,
In your love I was even more sinking.

I turned to my past, my teacher till now,
asking, with this, how should I go about?
You know if I take a step ahead what happens,
how do i get rid of this never ending doubt...

Carpe diem - A Life Extraordinary

People like you and me come and go,
In our lives, we make a few friends and foes.
But then there are those ladies and gents,
Who even non believers would think of as god-sent.
One such angel I remember first seeing dressed as an old lady,
Who for his kids in the movie was no less than a fairy.
Talking of fairies, later I saw him have a tiny fairy friend,
In that movie he could fight off the "Hook that bent".

He also had this ability to inspire and show the way,
Be it by going 'Hunting' or by suggesting to 'seize the day'.
On screen and in life he had his special way to heal,
The way he played Patch Adams, in that you could genuinely feel.
I remember hearing his voice as that of a genie,
Alas that genie of Aladdin is now really free...
A personification of "laughter is the best medicine",
He has now flubbered away from this world of sin.

Very few in their life time touch lives and hearts of millions,
You were one of them. You will be missed, Robin Williams.
