To a Chevalier...

The Man of My Dreams

He is winsome yet delectable,

His little devil, I’ll always be,

He taught me to laugh out loud at myself,

We discussed biology over a cup of tea!

 

Stayed up at night, with sleep filled eyes,

He fueled my fire to learn,

He made words my strength,

Implicit meanings, he helped me discern!

 

He held me close with strong arms

When tears rained down from my eyes,

A smile of his is seen in mine,

That he smiled when he heard my first cries!

 

Weak was a word,

I thought he never knew,

He is patient and determined,

Has pet peeves, very few!

 

Calls himself ‘old-school’, the Man of my Dreams,

He is a husband and a son like no other,

It’s high time he knows, he is one of a kind,

In the life of his millennial daughter!


Wishing a very happy Father's Day to the superhero of every girl's life. Thanks to all the dads for making their daughters believe in themselves!

    Ananya!
    You are my daughter's namesake. You don't know me, but I know you...through your Hero.. your dad. We went to the same medical school in Kolkata, and struck up a strong and quick bond which remains to this day. No wonder he's so proud of you. You are indeed someone to be proud of. I'm very proud of you too! You write beautifully. Please do continue to give vent to your emotions through your compositions. Love you. May God bless you. May life shower on you whatever is good ---today, tomorrow, and always. Take care!
    KAUSIK Uncle.

Judgement...or Not?

The Appraisal I found myself privy, Once, to this overt secret, “A culprit’s being brought to justice”, they hushed, Hurriedly handing me a leaflet ! I sat in the court Of oak and cedar; people in yin -yang dressing, These robes told tales of good in bad, And of wolves in sheep’s clothing ! The spineless world, bestowed justice, Judged the accused from a pedestal, “Summon the murderess ! Committed has she, a crime immoral ! ” A figure drifted in, clothed in white, Noiselessly, through the doors, And calmly climbed the lectern, Amidst angry uproars !   Pretentious, malicious, cruel, unkind, They hurled at her such daggers, Until they gave her time, to justify, Why she left their lives in shatters ! “I am clothed in white,” she said, “I possess thus, all shades of life, Darkened is your mind and heart, Each, at the other’s throat with a knife ! ” “I come to the heart, stay in it, Leave, when the soul does, Those w...

Someone's Thoughts

-
The nicest place to be, Is in someone’s thoughts, You can wonder what they wonder, What this love, to them, has brought! The best dreams are conjured, In someone’s thoughts, For in the mind things are perpetual, This world may be, may not ! The loveliest words are said, In someone’s thoughts, when approaching thee, Then the clock may strike a plaintive hour, They may fear inexpression, certainly! When this someone stays through thick and thin, And stays true to heart, None other will be an idyll to say, “Till death we part!” Idyll- an extremely happy, peaceful , or picturesque period or situation

The deep,dark and dauntless...

Night I looked at the sun one last time, And then waved goodbye, Because I was to receive the night, Dark and deep like his eyes! Night came with some friends, The moon and the stars, And they brought along memories, To keep me company in late hours! The memories began their carnival, And it left me in tears, As before his arrival, I was unaware of my fears! So night invited a cool breeze, She knew I loved its smell, And put to sleep the sadness, Which in me dwells! But night stayed till dawn, To ensure my happiness, after she was gone,  I’m grateful to her, for the solace she brings, She’s dear to me, more than material things!
