A MOTHER'S DEATH!

When we lose something that is precious to us, we are left with a feeling of sadness. Whether it is a precious friend or even a treasured object, the loss can be hard to bear. It is as if a part of you has gone missing. Throughout our life we amass collections of friends and treasured possessions. Having close relationships help us feel as if we are not alone in the world. When we lose someone or something that is precious to us, we may realize that there is a certain aloneness that can never be filled. Ultimately the condition of life is one of being alone before God.

I wrote this poem when I was 13. Of all the poems I have ever written, this is the one I love the most. The thought of losing her made me write this poem. I just wish no one will ever leave or lie to their mother....ever.....because you have only one mother in your life time.

Today My Mother Died

Today my mother died

Silently without a sign

No inkling about her sadness

Even though we filled her with madness

Never being a burden for us

Instead giving us all a bless

Today my mother died

The one to whom I always lied

Screaming at her for her calmness

Creating all kind of fuss

Not thinking about her loneliness

Putting her in deep distress

Today my mother died

Thinking about her fate, I sighed

The times I went away

The times I never looked back

The pains she felt astray

The pains she felt setback

Today my mother died

I recalled her past and cried

READING...I CRIED!

I am an avid reader. If you are planning to ask me how many books i have read till now...my answer would be, "i don't know!". I have read loads and loads of books. Most of it were interesting while about a handful of them were boring. Some have made me laugh loudly while some have made me sad. But till todate...there has only been one book that i grew so attatched to that i cried like a child. My heart grew heavy reading it and i found it hard to breath. such happening are usually rare in my life! Apparently, this was the first time it happened by reading a book. The special book i am talking about is A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS- Khaled Hossaini.

Reading about Mariam's fate, i cried.

Seeing how Laila lost everything, i cried.

And the thought of being in their position made me cry.

I wickedly smiled at the fate of Rashid.

Smiled at the thought of Laila and Tariq together.

And ultimately, fell in love with Tariq though he has a small role to play in the whole story.

I secretly wished Tariq would come to life so that he could be mine. And i grew jealous of Laila on how fortunate she was to have tariq to herself.

The last line of the book is what appealed the most to me. If it is a girl, I've already named her. made me wonder how a line as such was born in the writer's mind. and i hoped that one day....one day i'll also write great books as such....:)

WATCHING HER DADDY COME

Another successful poem i've managed to write long back!''

The cherry wind stroke her face
Shuffling her locks aside
With a beaming smile she sat awake
To watch her daddy come

Her scenic eyes were going scarlet
And often she closed them soft
But nothing stopped her blue eyes wide
To watch her daddy come

She fell tired every minute or two
And again she wakes to look
With a longing face and crimson eyes
To watch her daddy come

Today or tomorrow, he may come she knew
With loads of sweets and candy
To receive with hugs and sugary kisses
She waited for him alone

When time goes by, she will fall asleep
And wake up a bright new day
She will forget about her daddy to come
And will drowse in her games along the bay

When the lights go off and the smile fades off
She goes to her ancient window
With a longing face and crimson eyes
To watch her daddy come
