I salute this woman!

A maid works at our house
a capable one at hand
She works as if a speck of 
 dust she cannot stand!

She cleans the house
and she does the dishes
A maid who can compete with
her employers' orderly wishes!

Once absolutely bored
i made conversation with her
Asking her about family,friends
the first conversation in years!

And then it came to her children
and tears flowed  from her eyes
Her children consisted 
of a girl and of two boys.

The girl probably my age
out to fulfill dreams
Studying microbiology
a girl worthy to deem!

The girl,she tells is one of a kind
for her future she is not afraid
For she knows she will do well in life
a maid's daughter will not become a maid!

Aiming for the skies it is
a dream well within reach
She works so hard day and night
because her daughter is her prestige!

No work is big or small
this she has definitely taught me
A model mother and professional
for everyone to see!

And i shall hear from her
when her daughter does her proud
A great feat and a great dream
shall be announced big and loud!

Opportunities for everyone 
both for daughters and sons
For the rich and the poor
leave out none!

There are many great 
people and i know this one
A round of applause and
I SALUTE THIS WOMAN!!!

 
 

For the angel that she is!

Once there was a man
Luring girls as he went
Giving them false promises
assuming himself God sent

Charming and deceitful in mind
Greek God in build
Innocent girls would flock around
him completely awe-filled

He would hang around at bars
getting the giggles and looks
Knowing how to entrap them
he knew by the book

And once he had them
he knew he was bored
For the chase was over untill
the next one he scored

But one day he met his match
in a girl that he saw
With bated breath he witnessed
as his heart filled with awe

For how exquisite she was
with her beautiful dark hair
Cascading and framing her lovely face
for others to stand and stare

Her bright eyes shone
like those of a doe
Darting around, searching the place

high and low

He moved onto her and asked,
"Searching for ME?

Cause you are the most beautiful thing

these eyes of mine have seen"

She looked up and saw
the hulk of a man
A smile on her face
and trouble began

"A cheesy line to say,
is that your pick up line
For your looks suggest you
seem mighty damn fine

He knew he had her
and played on
Flirting outrageously
with all shame gone

But always a step ahead
she never gave in
Only bettering the chase
with a nice seductive grin

And then without warning
 she left the bar
Shocked, he followed her

 for she couldn't be far!

But she was gone 

he was left high and dry

"Just when things got interesting,"

he let out a sigh

Thinking hard all week long
desperately praying to meet
The girl who had stormed his life

and swept him of his feet

Lord Cupid had found a victim
and he chose to strike
The player had been played

by a girl he had begun to like

They did meet months later

as fate played out again
He knew that he wanted her
she had driven him insane!

He moved onto her and flashed
his charming smile
A crooked grin spread on her face

after a momentary while

Never one to hesitate
he moved in for the kill
He proposed to her with all
his charm while time stood still

Astounded, she retorted,
"I do not know who you are,
I have never seen you in my life
and you have taken it too far"

His world came crashing down
a wound he had to take
Dumbstruck seeing her face,
as he faced his first heart break

The bartender saw the man
and the broken ego of his
"You rushed in straight to her

for the angel that SHE IS"

Where is my MOM!

There is a saying in this world
about how the Strong survive
But this is the story of Martha,
a saver of others' lives!

There was a little town, a
place of torrential rains
A calamity that had become
a constant source of pain!

Martha was a flower-seller
a girl with a beautiful heart
A girl who knew her way around
both kind and smart.

Little Billy was her child
a kid with a nose for trouble
Living with his mother in a
nice world in a nice little bubble!

A big forest on the outskirts
was where she got her flowers
Very fresh and beautifully grown
after those monster showers!

With a cheerful rhyme on her lips
and a face with a jovial grin
Selling flowers was no big deal
when hearts she could easily win!

But troubles even haunted her
her income barely enough
Sheilding Billy from her troubles
both big and rough!


One day while collecting flowers
an abnormal stillness gnawing
The missing animals and birds
were they a forewarning!

And then she realised
and then she knew
Another storm was coming
where the floods would renew!

She ran into town and
upto the Church spire
Ringing the bell madly
warning of something dire!

The busy people ignored the sign
just going about their routine
But Martha seemed terrified
for the coming clouds were seen!

Screaming hysterically
and pointing at the coming clouds
The towns attention finally
drawn to a great crashing sound!

Martha had thrown a statue
but the people knew why
For horribly dark clouds
were covering the sky!

Soon it was pouring on houses 
with the people in safety 
But an old woman was stuck
with Martha rushing swiftly!

To her aid no one came
as she battled the monster rains
Saving the life of the old woman
an effort totally insane!

After many hours of downpour
the old woman was seen
Clinging on to a roof where
a house had been!

But people saw a drowning Martha
her body drowning like lead
The thankless people did not go
fearing she might be dead!

The floods receded and people smiled
for the passing of the storm
But Little Billy with tears in his eyes
screamed,"WHERE IS MY MOM"!
















 

She is there for me!

Third standard in school
in my class,14th my rank
With fear in my heart and 
my bad marks to thank!

She waits at home and 
looks forward to my return
Only to see me discourged
and my heart burn!

But all she says to me
next time we do better
She sits and tries to teach me
 everything to the letter!

I am much better at things
at all the things i do
For every time she is with me,
to her i always turn to!

I have graduated in my class 
as my hat now flies
I am there standing next to her
with tears in my eyes!

For she has sacrificed a lot
to see me here today
She worked hard day and night
to bring me up all the way!

Its my turn to fulfill her wishes
and her long held dreams
But even that cannot compare
how with pride today she beams!

On this day i dare to say before
God, it is her face that i see
Because even if HE is not,
She Is There For Me!

(Acknowledge and appreciate
for Mothers are very great
She is God in another state
or the best HE could create!) 
 
 
 
 


 


 

 

Mac Millan and the Desert of True Wishes!

Mac Millan had now reached
the Desert of True wishes
 Where even the shifting sands
made one alert and cautious!

The caravan suddenly stopped
and the chatting gypsies froze
Mac Millan could see nothing 
only a great feeling arose.

And then he felt it and  knew why
a feeling of rising chill
Fear had taken over the mind
and everything stood still!

The sands were not shifting
the air getting dense
The desert was coming alive
and the situation tense!

And suddenly as fast as they 
could the gypsies bolted back
Leaving their camels and tents
and even their food sacks!

In all this commotion curiosity
had overcome  fear
Why were the gypsies leaving
behind their precious and dear!

So the gypsies retreated and he
advanced forward
Into a desert with legends made
and secrets unheard!

But never had he had it easy
and never would he
For soon a sandstorm came 
over and he could hardly see!

He was soon buried in 
a great sea of sand
Buried totally alone
in a vast alien land!

But he did open his eyes
and found it really dark
The light of the desert no more
in a contrast completely stark!

Then he realised it was
a chamber very ill-lit
A chamber so large
that an entire caravan could fit!

But in the center lay on a 
table a dusty old lamp
Looking all rusted and 
smelling really damp!

Treading very cautiously
up to the center table 
He picked up the lamp and 
rubbed it as in Alladin's fable!

But instead of giant genie
'Mac Millan' himself appeared
A reflection of what he truly
wanted and had always feared!

The reflection asked him,
"What do you truly desire?
I know who is truthful
and who is a liar"!

Mac Millan answered,
"All i wanted was lots of money
and the great power to
rule the lives of many"!

The reflection asked,
"You joined the journey
of the gypsies for power
and lots of money"!

"Yes i did do that
so will you grant my desire,
it burns within me like
a great big wild fire!

The reflection nodded
and waved his hand
And before Mac knew it
he was again buried in sand!

But now when he opened his 
eyes,blurred was his vision
Gypsies smiling faces danced
before him like mirage illusions!

But they were very real 
and they had come back
For their lovely camels,tents
and food sacks!

But they had come further
and found him in the sand
They had come back for him
in this vast alien land!

No money, power was to be seen
but these he did not miss
For with a smile on his lips he
knew the desert had granted his True wish!


 
 

My Dream House

A beautiful house of my dreams
so very real it definitely seems
That i can feel it in my thoughts
a dream that often occurs a lot!

A beautiful roof with shiny purple tiles 
its shine seen from tens of miles
With each tile intricately designed,
exquisitely carved and blue lined!

A decent cottage it shall be
a beauty for everyone to see
With exteriors painted in spotless azure
a color well liked by everyone for sure!

Green creepers shall grow and entwine
like fine threads in twisted lines
And i shall regularly water them
as they are a part of my dream system!


My garden shall be neat and green
with colorful flowers for added sheen
 Rows of roses and irises and violets 
forming  beautiful multicolored sets!


 My interiors shall also be a sight
both by day and by night
With a tidy kitchen and three rooms
of great perfection i assume!

One room,a well stocked library
telling its own dreamy story
 The other shall be a bedroom
and the other one for flying stick brooms!

Oh the trees during different seasons
each a beauty for different reasons
But come any season and you shall see
all of different colors they shall be!

To the wind their leaves rustling
to the dew their leaves glistening
Moving their their branches as if listening
to the songs which the birds are singing!

This lively house comes to sight 
when a charming sleep comes at night
A beautiful lamp shines on as i drowse
shining on the vision of My Dream House!
 

 

 
 




 


 


 

 
 

The HEART of a WOMAN!

Strong as a mountain
brilliant as the Sun
Joy's pure fountain
That beats for everyone!

In a daughter it starts
out tender and cared
Innocent and sweet
out to be well-prepared!

As she grows it gets
 tougher with experience
Filling with courage
strength and persistence!

As she starts working
it takes a different form
Ready as a sailor to
weather life's sea storms!

As she marries the love of
her life her heart with certainty
 Filled with promise of loving
 'her love' for all of eternity!

And as she becomes a
mother her heart beats
with her child's and
performs amazing feats!

Her heart knows everything
because it is the heart of GOD
A reflection of the all knowing
with the instincts of the Lord!

A woman's heart can do
 things fully known to her
Will words ever suffice to
describe this Natural wonder!

So respect and appreciate
her from the start
And never  make the mistake
 of breaking a Woman's Heart!
