When my smile decides...

In this piece of poetry I have penned down a few of such moments from my life when happiness had captured all of my senses and all I was able to do was stretch my muscles and smile! I couldn't even come up with a single word to utter! Everybody has moments as unexplainable as these in their lives! And this is the beauty of such moments... when you are wordless but with a smile!!!! If you would like to share yours, like be delighted to hear about some!!!


She told me I have made it
My heart eased up a little bit
I kept bopping around the room
A tiny tear sparkled at the corner of my eyes
My smile decided not to leave my face!

My hands hardly visible
Under the bouquets of flowers I was holding
Hugs and kisses from everywhere I approached
People celebrating, my happiness
My smile decided not to leave my face

Goofing around together
Patting each other’s backs
Singing songs and dancing along, couldn't care less
For anything around, just my pals and me
My smile decided not to leave my face!

He entered the door
His arms spread wide
I dropped my book and ran to him
He picked me up and swirled me around
My smile decided not to leave my face

Sitting at the window of my room
While the moon smiles in the dark night
A paper on my lap, a pen in my hand
I write down these joyful moments, and
My smile decides not to leave my face!

Silent love

This poem is all about those people who never express their love through words, rather through hushed gestures! It's not like they don't love. It is just that their gestures are all that exhibit the feeling they bear in their hearts and we learn to love them back for their silent love!


You never say a word
Even when I am desperate for one
You never give a smile
Even when I keep waiting for it
Every time that I am happy
You pretend like you don't care
Yet, when no one is looking
You gently ruffle through my hair
When you think I am not listening
You brag that I am all yours!
The thought of me away from you
Always makes you cringe
Seeing tears and grief on my face
Always makes you troubled
You never said so but I am sure
That you'll love me forever and more!
Your absence makes me miserable!
And I can't imagine a day without:
The shelter of your silent love!

If I were a particle of sand in the Sahara desert...

This piece of poetry describes the empty feelings that rise in me sometimes making me wish that I was as unnoticeable as a particle of sand in the Sahara desert!

If I were a particle of sand in the Sahara desert
I would have danced along with the wind
Twirling and twirling the way it wants me to
No burden, no responsibilities on my head

I wouldn't care about the menacing sun
Or the cold and starless nights
I wouldn't care about the heavy rains
Or the animals that crawl over me

I'll be just like the million other particles
Each individual; unnoticeable and ordinary
But this is why I wish to be:
A particle of sand in the Sahara desert!
