Thoughts Linger on and on .....

There she stood Bright, outshining the Sunlight.
The Sheepish Glances towards her made my heart go Light.

I wish I could touch her hair and speak to her about the love in the air.
But words would not even struggle into first gear, where emotions flew at top gear.

Thoughts about her occurred round the clock, like the waves that hit the rock.
But those lovely thoughts had never transformed into talk.

Well it all started when she gave me sweets on her Birthday,
From then on I longed to meet her everyday.

I had waited ages for this day; I hoped it would be my Red Letter Day.
Far in the distance I could see her gleefully receive a card,
It struck me like a lightening that I had been late and I was a discard.

So what if its St Valentines Day,
to me it was to be my first love's Doomsday.

Flight Taken?

He stared into the open sky
Pondering the distance he had to fly.

To pursue his masters,
Leaving behind all that matters.
Entering a Newer World,
Carrying memories of the older world.
He had decided to fly.
Fly in one of those flights that daily ply.

There he smelt fresh AIR,
Free from pollution!!
For this and more, had put in long hours of perspiration,
with dogged determination.
To reach this ultimate destination
Cause for all 'jubilation'.

Two years flew with lots of pain,
But had lots to gain.
Never would he worry about money again,
He had boarded the 'Success train'

Back Home friends were aplenty.
All enjoying the fruits of IT!!
He also could have easily been a part of the party.
But wanted more than parity.

Well though he was far away.
He knew they were just a Call Away!!
He had not lost out on his roots.
Appeasing himself that he was a shoot of the great Indian Root.

He stared into the open sky
Pondering the distance he had to fly
Imagining what would be his 'plight'Had he not taken his maiden FLIGHT !!!!
