P.S. I Love You - Poetic Tribute


This one is specially for all P.S. I Love You fans  

You will be reading this letter when I’ll be gone 
Lazing in the bed like dead 
I’m sure you will be singing my song 

The same song that once you hated me sing 
At the karaoke night
After a few shots of gin 

You preferred dying of cold 
But hated to wear my fav leather jacket 
You lingering in it now, once you called it rugged and old 

You were always worried about our tomorrow 
I hated the thought coz 
It killed your smile and put you to sorrow 

It wasn't that I was not concerned
I only wanted to live the fullest with you 
Before my weak heart died and burned 

I knew I was dying 
“I can’t imagine a day with you not around.” 
I remember you said this crying 

So, by my words I thought to stay with you for a while
“Hi, this is Gerry. Busy to take any calls now, shall revert soon.” 
Hearing me on the answering machine? Stop hitting the redial

To feel my presence, to feel me near 
You need not pile up my stuff on you
I live in every breath you take, dear

You made my life so beautiful and gee 
But I was just a chapter
Promise, you have better things to see 

I did and I will, always love you 
But don’t fear to fall in love again
Don’t be guilty; I know you love me too

There is something...


There is something i wish to tell you 

There is something you must know
There is something special i feel
I fear of you hear it you might blow 



There is something in your voice 
That rings to me like a musical cord 
It would make a perfect love song 
If my heartbeats i could record 

There is something in your eyes
That gives me the strength to live a day more 
There is something in your prayers
That this man is falling in love with you 
At the deaths door

Walking Together

Walking together
Under the drizzles of July
We met just this evening
Feels like years have passed by

Walking together
Just a hand distance away
The only color was of your rosy lips
All other colors turned to mere shades of grey


This perfect night
Your beautiful sight
Our hearts fuse to play a tune
That has entangled us so tight

Walking together
Names still unknown
But the smile felt familiar
To guard this smile, I learned I have grown

Walking together
On the moist shiny sand
Leaving behind our footprints
Going parallel, as if hand in hand

Its hours passed evening
Yet it feels no dark but bright
I extend my hand out to you
Hold on, I wish to be your knight

Walking together
Yet miles away
Waiting for your answer
I promise not to step ahead
But keep waiting at the bay

Paper Boats


I sat reading my Diary by the river bank.
pages filled with words, rhymes & memories 
of people, moments, places, things I loved.
but, its final page remained blank.

Giggles of children downstream by the bridge
made my past events flowing in my head, abridged
their faces reminding me of the lost innocence
Of the lost time, of the empty presence
I tore the first page of my diary 
and folded it shaping it into a paper boat 
that page with my name, now
was set on the downstream to float

it bobbed down the river 
reaching a lonesome toddler 
he stretched his hand and pulled it over 
and looked at me with a smile for more 

i tore the second page to make another one
more kids caught the sight and made a run
i gently pushed the paper boat in their direction
it glided down towards their breathless anticipation

pages filled with words, rhymes & memories 
of people, moments, places, things I loved
were now transformed into paper boats
not in waste though, joy to those kids it served. 

broken, hollow, empty but light 
felt my heart watching that sight

Then i saw that toddler making his way to me
he came and handed me a Beautiful Blank Diary 
we spoke nothing just shared a smile 
"keep writing" he said. promptly i replied, "I WILL"


Happy Reading! Happy Monsoons!

Time to repay, Love

He had the map to the treasure. She had the key to the lock.

She: I love you, we will find this treasure and will live happily ever after.
He: and in this journey we shall walk together till the end of life.

They laughed, they cried, they loved, they fought, they saw the dawn and the dusk, together.

They found the treasure.

He: we found this only because of you, I do not know how do I repay you for this happiness.
She: just love me till I live.

He hugged her. He stabbed her in her back.
She looked at him in horror.

He: I walked with you till the end of your life and I loved you till you lived.

With tears in her eyes she breathed her last. She begged for life but he tore her trust apart.

He took all gold. He ruled the world and feared of no man.
UNTIL, one morning, his phone rang with a reminder of Her birthday.
He deleted the reminder and went back to his bed.

He saw a dream of the day when he had found the treasure.

He heard him say: we found this only because of you, i do not know how do i repay you for this happiness.

He felt cold breeze near his ear. He heard a whisper...

"Time to repay, Love" said a cold taut voice from the other side of his bed.
