Dedicated to Pecky.

( The bird who pecked at my window every morning)

Tiny little confused darling,

Pecking away at seven in the morning,

at the tinted saint gobain glass window,

I know its its your reflection you see little fellow

Do you wonder if it's your soulmate,

pecking away and trying to communicate

But how it amuses me that it amuses you,

a whole new world discovered by you,

a dusty window of a tiny flat,

pecking away and waking me up like that

You adorable little confused bird,

you make me smile and its absurd

that you are clueless of whats behind your reflection

a girl who smiles at your perception

BREEZY DAYS - snug as a bug in a rug moments

 BREEZY DAY #102  ( Title : The Loony Sister)

       Yesterday evening, after struggling to finish her homework, my sister joins me in the living room and flops onto the couch. I give her a smile in greeting and in return I got a dead pan look. Her particular reaction of plain ignorance triggered  a challenge for the inbuilt desire in me to pull her leg and cause a change in the lucid expression she bore. Thus, I began my very own kathakalli, sticking my tongue out at her and making the weirdest faces possible. And in vain. All she did was sit and stare at me as if I were part of the brick wall that stood behind me. I gave up eventually, not because my mom had passed through the living room ( she is used to our bizarre ways like a nurse grows accustomed to her patients in a mental asylum) but because a sane part of me called myself a lunatic. Thus I went back to check my mail. The clock kept ticking and from time to time I would pop my head out from the laptop screen to observe my sister. She was stuck in the same position with same dead pan expression, only now she seemed to have a bubble gum in her mouth. She kept chewing it mindlessly as she stared right through me. That was the limit. How could she possibly sit like a frikking zombie for five minutes and forty five whole seconds?? Okay...I just can't stand to watch my sister sitting simply. Am sure you people reading this know that feeling. Obviously am addressing people with siblings, preferably people with younger siblings like me . It's a sibling phenomena.
     

 And so I decide to break the silence. "Hey, zombie girl!" Still there wasn't any reaction from the little brat. I knew she was doing this purposely to annoy me. Ha! I wasn't going to let her go that easy.  So I try again,"Hey zombie girl, stop sitting there chewing bubble gum". And just as those words came out I caught a musical note in the way I said it. Which made me think to myself, ' Aha...that would make a catchy song!!.'

Thus I didn't lose a moment trying to compose the rest of my brilliant masterpiece. I had to finish it before my sister left the room. It was a masterpiece that would bring about her downfall. Muhahaha!!! So within hardly five minutes I managed to compose the ultimate composition.

Here it goes,"Hey there zombie girl, sitting there chewing your bubble gum,
                     Don't you know, that you could end up with a huge bubble bum,
                     But I guess your mind's screwed up solving a tough math sum,
                     to realise the words coming from me are for you dum dum.''
And what do you know! It worked!! Not only did her lucid expression change to a mild surprise but we both ended up laughing our heads off. Aahh...it was just one of those days when nothing really important or dramatic happens and you just go with the flow and enjoy the simple silly moments that pass by.
Be happy and spread the love. Thank you for reading. :)

CAN YOU?

You come to me as a prey of cupid, singing praises of my heart like you own it,
But look at me and do you see, what lies beyond the superficial part of me?
..............

Can you ?
Painting with acrylic and water colours
-Nayantara (me)

Can you?
Can you listen to and not merely hear my voice ?
Can you look beyond my display and find the real person I am?
Can you seek my heart like a thief and rid it from its desire to hide?
Can you, though hard it is in action but simple to the ears, can you embrace my very soul?
Can you make me yours with just a gentle look from your eyes?
Can you want me like you want air, for the very existence of your life depends on it ?
Can you kiss my wandering spirit and make it want to stay?
Can you hold me like a lamb in my direst moments?
Can you not view me with eyes of human lust but with a will to make a bond of everlasting trust?
Can you let me in your dreams and have me mend your wounds?
Can you last with me through all my tempests and  still look upon me with a smile?
Can you let me touch your heart and keep it as my treasure?
Can you perceive love as I do?
Can you?

Dedicated to my Grandmom

I saw her lying peacefully,
with a smile upon her lips,
a lady aged thus gracefully ,
in her eternal bliss...

The times she used to feed me,till my belly could burst
with the worlds most delectable dishes ,
I recount at that unbelievable moment,
when I see her lying there with a smile

I once held her tender finger with my own toddler ones,
and as I grew up,she tried to never let go...
but my hands grew slippery as days passed by
and all she could do was let out a dejected sigh

All she ever did was to put a smile upon my face,
the love she showered on me was nothing less than Gods own grace
                                                  but I failed to see the caress she bestowed upon me
                                                  in turn I failed to show mine,which i hid in my subconscious

                                                 As I wiped her tired arms clean with a towel,
                                                 and recited an episode from her favourite serial,
                                                 her sad eyes pierced my heart
                                                 cause we both knew that time was slipping away

                                                 For cancer had taken its toll,
                                                 and all that was left was strength from her soul
                                                 but nothing had yet deterred the tiny hope in me
                                                 that tomorrow would be a better day

                                                Yet not once I revealed by words, how much she meant to me
                                                until this moment as I watch her lie peacefully,
                                                with an eternal smile on her beautiful yet lifeless countenance
                                                And my heart yearns for just one more day
                                                to grab her tender finger and never let go...
