HELP ME....URGENT...NEED TITLE

Here is poem for which i urgently need a title...any suggestions....please help me.....the best title gets a good review on my blog....

The Tale of ME, YOU, HER, HIM and ME

On one a full moon night
When the world around me slept
I just couldn't retire like anyone else
I kept tossing and turning in my bed
Counted sheep and numbers
But sleep dared not to visit my eyes
Finally I got up and walked to the window
To look at the orb of night

He gazed back at me and the stars twinkled
The moon asked me "Love, what's wrong"
I was taken aback and didn't know what to say
I just smiled back and tried to look away
The moon said again,"Love, don't look away,
why does your heart sing a sad melody today"
He continued "Love, walk on the paths of my light, to him I shall lead"
I didnt know what to do and looked helpless and scared

Helpless enough for a gust of wind to lift me away
To guide me through the paths thrown by the handsome moon
the breeze left me near his balcony and the stars urged me on
I walked in to his room as silent as I can be
And there he was all tucked up and lost in his peaceful reverie
I stood there watching him as he slept
touched him with my eyes
And hugged him with my breath

For hours to end,chin in arms
I watched him sleep
And then the realization struck
My soul languished within me for him
So Dull, so empty and so lifeless
The soul in me tried to reach out to him
And to whisper his beautiful name
But all came still, when he stirred in his sleep


Tears washed my cheeks as I watched him hold her close to him
Kissed her cheeks in his sweet sleep...it was too much to take
Ran out of the room into the balcony and threw myself out
The gentle breeze cradled me in its arms and took me home
The clouds gently washed me with their tears
The moon, now not so bright, threw the light to guide me home
The breeze dropped me home by my window
And all stayed there silently

I lifted my eyes looked at all
And whispered thank you
Thank you for i could see and see him i could
For now I know happy is he and not a thought wasted on me
He has a life and I need to learn to move on
For strength I pray to live my life with new found friends
To be happy for the sake of him is all that I ask
Thank you friends for being there always


The moon, the stars, the breeze and the clouds
Kissed and hugged me tight
They cried with me and held me close
And in their arms i went to sleep
The breeze tucked me to bed
And the stars sang a lullaby
The moon silently watched me sleep
Ah! Glad am I for such beautiful friends...

My friend...

This post is dedicated to a friend of mine.She keeps complaining that I dont write anything happy and she called me a drama queen so in 10 min flat i wrote this for her.She had recently won the award for the best performer in her office and she was so excited about it. So with this poem i intend to congratulate her and pull her leg too.
I am not going to name her...let her identity remain such!


I have a happy friend and happy is she always
recently she got the best performer award
Amongst a group of 1500 people
The best was she

Wonderful news for all who heard
All were happy for her
She danced and went round and round
And laughed till her tummy hurt

For the next one month she didnt have to work
And take all her time and enjoy her life
And so she thought with glee
And so happy was she

But the actual fact she never realized
Her company was at loss when she worked
For all she did resulted in a total disaster
And they had no other solution to solve it

So the firm decided to let her have her way
They made her happy so their profits were intact
And they let her be
And so happy was she

They cant let her go off like that
For no one had her kind of oomph factor
So for them to have a great time in silence
They let her be!!

My best friend

It's hard to survive without friends...I have a special friend who makes my world brighter and who is always there beside me...this poem is dedicated to my special friend..read on...and discover the identity of my best friend...

The framework for this poem was developed many years back...I just finished it yesterday...

My best friend....


Once in the dead of the night,
When the crickets decided to conclude their crooning,
When the fire flies decided to retire,
When the incandescent light of the moon;
Finally mesmerized every being into sweet slumber.

Someone stealthily came to my bedside;
Not a tiny noise was made,
And stroked my cheeks with its breath so warm.
I opened my eyes to perceive the mortal;
But none was there for my eyes to behold!

Henceforth, the stranger visited me every night,
When the eerie silence used to set in.
It wakes me up from my repose
and makes me stop dreaming, to open my eyes,
and then disappears into the shadows of darkness.

Since then I lay waiting like a predator for its prey;
Watching and feeling everything around me;
settle down for the night.
Just an occasional hoot of an owl,
And the slow drone of the old fan for company.

The drunken mosquitoes quit their buzzing;
As they had their tummy's fill.
The breeze slowly sang her lullaby,
And sung every other being to sleep, but not me.
There I lay all determined to catch my nightly visitor.

Finally I caught my nightly visitor red handed;
As it came to kiss my cheeks;
Again to fill me with new wonder of its identity;
Unabashedly I asked it to stay with me-
That's how loneliness became my friend.

I waited for it to come to me and put me to sleep,
I couldn't sleep till it visited me every night.
It would sing lullabys and stroke my hair as I sleep.
And be there beside me when I wake up,
And it would hug me with a warm good morning!

Eventually it promised to stay,
Stay by my side always and forever,
followed me like a shadow-
wherever I went, whatever i did,
all through day and night.

It listened to all my woes and wiped my tears,
Shared my happiness and laughter,
Dreamed my dreams with me,
Advised the right track to choose,
Stayed with me through thick and thin.

It became the best friend that I ever had,
As I moved through different phases of life-
It offered its comforting presence beside me.
Someone who I could turn to anytime.
Someone who is not too busy for me.

One fine day i came to realize
that i write so much, but never ever
but never ever a word to acknowledge my best friend
so i hereby affirm, loneliness is my best friend
And dear friend, without you I would be lost in the vast sea of relations

Footprints

Footprints


As I walk on the beach at dusk,
In tune with the rolling waves,
I feel the breeze run its fingers through my hair,
And I'm away from the bustle of the morbid world.

Walking almost next to the setting sun,
With tears flowing down my cheeks,
I turn around to behold,
A single trail of footprints on the sand.

I remember the time we promised,
To walk on this beach together,
To turn around and look at our footprints on the sand,
But now there is only a single pair...just mine.

Today I walk all alone,without you beside me,
There is noone to walk my walk with me,
When my steps falter, there is none to support,
I fall down and have to help myself up.

My footprints remind me, how alone I am,
Without you I'm so lost,
How I wish my steps would lead me to you,
But alas, all they do is wander into oblivion.

When You look down at me from the Kingdom of God,
Love don't weep for me , just guide me,
Guide me to take the right steps,
And to take each stride with confidence,

I turn around and look at my footprints,
Now I realise you kept your part of the promise,
You were always there beside me,
You are present within me and as my shadow...

Krishna....

Yesterday I was listening to Carnatic Chills by the brothers Ganesh and Kumaresh. Their first composition made me want to dance. And I danced to it and it was after a long time that I finally danced. The next music in the cd was Fire and Water. I felt so broken when I listened to it. I closed my eyes and was listening to the song. I suddenly had this urge to write something.

click here to listen to the song

While I was listening to the music, words just flowed into the paper. I wrote about Radha waiting for her Krishna in Vrindavan.Their love story has been told by many and there is none who has loved like them.
But before I put the poem up I must also thank a very wonderful person G S Khetanchi who allowed me to use his picture Mayur Pankh for this poem. His depiction of Radha is exactly like how I saw her in my mind. Thank you so much Sir.


Krishna....



Oh Krishna, Where are you,my lord?
Are you sneaking up behind the bushes-
Waiting for a chance to startle me?
Or are you still in Madhura-
Mesmerizing the people with your antics?

Oh Krishna,my heart yearns for you,
My body pines for your arms around it,
My eyes desire to be lost in the depth of yours,
My ears ache to listen to your flute,
My tongue craves for the taste of your sweat.

Oh Krishna ,have you forgotten,
I 'm here in our Vrindavan awaiting your arrival?
Till then I need neither food nor water.
Your memories would keep me alive.
Need no life my Lord, unless that life is with you.

Oh Krishna, its for you I search everywhere
In butterflies,bees,flowers,fruits,trees;
In animals, birds, earth and sky; where are you my love?
I promise you I will remain yours forever,
For I know nothing else, other than your love.
