Namesake

What’s in a name after all?

People come and go from my life

             Leaving their memories and impression

Some worth remembering

             And some have a lasting affection

What’s in a name after all?

But isn’t this name known to all?

I keep on asking this needless question

I know it’s a fact not a fiction

Almost a year I know it now

Been so near that I feel somehow

What’s in a name after all?

Still it resounds every time I call

When happiness seems to dip

It’s the only name that falls on my lips

When excitement seems to drool

It’s your name that holds the rule

I know it’s your name, which resides in the core of my heart

True! it’s your name, which fills my every part

No doubt! It’s your name, which I cannot live without

Yes! It’s your name, for which my love is all about

I know it’s your name, that’s written on every wall of my heart

True! It’s your name which makes me live from the start

No doubt! It’s your name, as pure as morning dew

Yes! It’s your name, Yes! You are You.

Curious Complain

Life was heading fast and nice

Happiness was real and dreams would suffice

Love was there peeping from the horizon

Amongst the clouds, it used to entice

Smile was there and so the comfort

But along with it, was one strange pain

It couldn’t make you understand how much it loves you

And that is why, to my heart I complain

To my heart I complain

That why it always takes your name

Why it always thinks about you

The days and nights are all the same

You make me forget, the all dreaded past

I learn to see the world once again

I can’t stop myself from loving you more

And that is why, to my heart I complain

You meet me in bits and pieces

Then go away giving an assurance

Leaving me with the snaps I take

And that’s my only remembrance

All alone I live these days

Which my heart can never explain

I know you have denied me everything

Still to my heart I complain

I complain because it really loves you

I complain because as a child it cries

I complain and I keep on complaining

Still my heart sings the reprise

I need your love, I need your support

Please don’t overlook my emotions

The only wish I ever had

My poems and sketches had the revelation

I still complain to my heart

And I tried a lot to stop all this

The more I try, the more it grows

And keeps me pushing into that bliss

Yes I did all the effort

And I tried so hard to constrain

But how do I stop my heart from loving you

And that is why, to my heart I complain

Yes I complain yes I do

Just for once please hold my hand

Hold it firm and hold it strong

Not like the slipping sand

Walk with me till the end of this road

You can cure my deepest pain

I promise to you and then to myself

Thereon, I will never complain

When we fell in love

When we met for the first time

             Our feelings had an all new sensation

Your lips were silent, still the eyes would speak

             The first meeting after our little confession

You couldn’t sleep all night

             I could sense it from your eyes

We fell in love finally

             To see the beauty reprise

The journey seems to have stopped for you

The road seems to have ended for me

Since the day we started walking together

Our goals, we both could see

Where did we come from

             Or where we are supposed to go

Neither you remember that

             Nor I am supposed to know

We’re so drowned in this trance

             I missed you in the lonely night

When we fell in love finally

             The waiting had its own delight

You started coming close to me

I couldn’t resist going close to you

We just couldn’t stop each other as well

The love had those moments few

The burning desire you had within

             The feeling is still so young

Young is the night of all desires

             And my love for you unsung

I could keep you holding in my arms

             Till the norms allow us to do

When we fell in love finally

             The love had a meaning new

It’s when we fell in love

             We opened the core of our heart

I wish we never go apart

             Till the end through the start.
