Ravi Singh

Those were the days
So joyous and carefree
When I could watch the preening of
A pair of sparrows on my lovely lemon tree
...

I saw pearly droplets of tears
Trickling through her green eyes
Who could cause such a pain to her?
To me this logic simply defies
...

You told me, you are under the weather
And you have some serious tension
Believe me, my dear friend
You are not an exception
...

Blissful are the times when you are home alone
For few days in the year when your wife is gone
It was one of such coveted occasion
And time for my kitchen expedition
...

Hopes are feathers, a wish is a bird
One may find this simile a little absurd

Hold on, do not lose patience
...

She appears out of nowhere, and in a jiffy she is gone
Keeping me guessing, about what went so wrong
She is an elusive lady to me
...

I’m an open and transparent soul,
She is like a black hole

I’m too eager to share my joys,
...

Scorching sun may
Push us to stop and turn
In pricking hot sand
Our feet might burn
...

Wheels begin the journey,
Wings take it forward
Like flight of our affection,
Taking its flight onward
...

I can learn to play guitar
And work towards owning a flashy car
But, to you, I have this unspoken plea
That I want you to love me just for me
...

This poem is not mine, it is by a friend who doesn't want to be named.
It is not written for me. It is written for somebody, who could never read this poem.

Never thought that I would find
...

I still remember the moment, when the ice was broken
We smiled at each other, although just for a token

There was no mutual liking, but often we met still
...

affectionate, charming and splendidly sublime,

makes my evenings nice, and my mornings fine! !
...

when the neon lights will fade,

when I would be left tired and jade!
...

after a torturous wait,
finally the rains are here,
clouds are blissfully grey,
and puddles everywhere!
...

summer is moving away,
mansoon is already at the door,
May every change of season,
bring smiles more and more!
...

I don’t believe in foreign cars,
I don’t believe in ego wars!

my beliefs are simple,
...

...

Winter is creeping in slowly
I am in your spell undoubtedly
now sunshine would felt just right
like your smile lively and bright
...

God has strange sense of humour,
He keeps giving pains like a tumor.
He never cease testing us,
and in turn expects no fuss.
