Chokher Bali

If I could be 'something'...

I would chose to be an ocean
and give back all that drowned.
I would chose to be that raindrop
That first hits the desert ground.
I would be the darkest chapter
Of the story that was never told.
I would be the warmest moonlight
That guards you from every cold.
I would be a bird with broken wings
And give up my freedom to fly.
I would be all and everything for you...
Except that speck of sand in your eye!!

- NOT another 'simple southy'.... Just call me a Madrasi...

p.s. Everything that rhymes is necessarily not Poetry...

Keep the Cheer!!

IN YOUR ARMS...

My wishes for life are but a few
To live each day like it is new
I want to see the bright blue sky
And not to worry about who and why?
The rain, the sun, the moon, the stars
Share this world, so stop the wars.
To watch my years roll by my side
And face the truth that none can hide
I want to smile when I close my eyes
The day is done, and so are my sighs.
God decides when and how I die...
May I decide WHERE I finally lie.
I'd feel so loved and safe and warm...
I'd take my final breath, IN YOUR ARM!!!

- NOT another 'simple southy'.... Just call me a Madrasi...

p.s. Everything that rhymes is necessarily not Poetry...

Keep the Cheer!!

I miss you...

Fleeting memories move like butterflies
When nothing engulfs everywhere
The heart shrinks to hide in itself
Why is this silence so loud?
Oh... the forgotten question
To the answer in my soul... ?
Can I rephrase my life to an exclamation!
A restless mind is the curse of love
My existence evolving into a mystery
Is this a nightmare or just a dream?
I woke up to find just half of me.
I remember the question...
Where did you go?
And the silence grows louder...
It's the missing sound of a familiar heartbeat.
Not yours... but MINE!!!

- NOT another 'simple southy'.... Just call me a Madrasi...

Keep the Cheer!!

Blame it on Love!!

Short naps...
Long drives...
Frozen desserts...
Melting Hearts...
Iced (lemon) tea...
Warm memories...
Morning stars...
Evening sunsets...
Bitter fights...
Sweet kisses...

Hidden tears....

Exposed fears...
Meaningless smiles...
Meaningful Life...

Blame it on Love!!!

- NOT another 'simple southy'.... Just call me a Madrasi...

Keep the Cheer!!

YOU...

Every time I Breathe
My Heart Skips a Beat.
I wondered why and realized...
It wasn't just air I breathed in.... 
It was your name!!!


- NOT another 'simple southy'.... Just call me a Madrasi...

Keep the Cheer!!

A Toast to Jr's Love....

There is Nothing More Empty than a Heart Filled With Memories!!!

My heart turned cold.
So did my hood and my bed.
I slept next to a vacuum.
And woke up to a silence.
Wondering what went wrong?
And all so very quick.
A year gone by already...
But your memories stayed behind.
When love's labor's lost.
What's in a day, a month or year...
My Sweet Love...
The pain lasts a lifetime.
