Lessons of Life (LOL)

When your soul left your body, Everyone cried, so did I. Your daughter won't stop crying. It has been three days. She won't eat or drink anything Because you didn't. Your wife says she has lost her everything, now. But, grandpa, believe me Mother nature remained the same She didn't care about our misery She didn't change Grandpa, the sun still rose, Spring came back The butterflies were happy The flowers danced The leaves took birth again The grass was crisp and anew Why did Mother didn't mourn Grandpa, why? Was it not something to cry for? All people did. I ponder if it really was something beautiful Because our Mother was happy. Was it really death, Grandpa? Or, a new birth of yours? Free from handcuffs of the world A fresh chance If not that maybe you are With My Lord, safely! Either way, I know you left But with grace on your face. I just hope Mother is right And while everyone mourns I hope you are hap...

Once I had been all alone but now I had my two hands, in the hands of two competitors, competing for me. Who knows, there could have been more, if only I had more hands! One of them was my lover. My second hand was taken by the rain-kissed breeze. Now all I wanted to see was who owned my heart better. "I've knelt down for you,cherishing the touch of your hand. The breeze can never touch you this way" said my lover. Just then, the breeze blew hard, trickling from beneath the leaves as if reaching out to me and embracing my whole body with a fresh touch. And, he had his answer. "I try to relieve your stress and make you happy! Be mine!", said my lover. A harder blow of the breeze with the mild scent of wet Earth and I felt better than ever, not being able to stop smiling! And, he had his answer. "But, I am mature!" my lover took to practically to win me, this time. "I am an adult, I know how to handle you." To that t...

And as I read, I can connect Every word to you. With the remembrances Of the past, I have a smile drawn on my face. A delicate delightful smile, Like you have surprised me With an embrace from behind me. I lower my gaze I hide my face And I smile till my cheeks hurt. If you were here You would say I look beautiful smiling But that's not what Everyone else thinks They would think I am crazy They don't know What it's like living a dream, What elation feels like I softly tidy up my face Bringing it back to 'normality' And I shut my book close to get you off my mind. I look out of the window 'Normal' for a moment But I can't hide the smile anymore! I cover my face with the book And slouch in the seat, Smiling all I want to. For now my dream has come true And I won't be embarrassed of experiencing it anymore.

Words are so beautiful, like a lover, tempting me to go get them each time I am deprived of them. How awkward I string words together and give them my name, like I had given them the gift of life; like they were my children. But, like a mother, it is them who uplift me and help me live. Like, my fellow human beings, each word is unique, saying what no one else can. And, even if they share their meanings each differs in details. Like, the best of my friends, all make themselves available to me. Any, that I may need to express myself. And, they would explain any other entity what I really am!
