serendipity ..

She bent over, her palm over mine, as we both struggled to draw a line,

Trying for the fifth time, so that our apple could look more than a lime

“I can’t do it mummaa” I complained and repeated for the nth time

“Do it slowly beta, it will come out fine”, she consoled as I whined

I think I was three; Curious ‘bout stars n astonished by flowers

And she on her toes, watching me, as I tripped over dolls n cars

Going down the memory lane, via the old family album

Found en route some wonderful memories - me n mum!

‘First Prize in Art in Class’ when I was only five

Was a true feat for her, no words could describe

And she had a success story for our neighbours

When I crossed the finishing line before others

Even today, each task I face seems small

When she says ‘Jus do! It’s nothing at all’

I wonder over my life’s first veracity

She – my mom is sheer serendipity…..

Together … through the stars we see :)

At the station, waiting; eyes follow the tracks, lost unto infinity behind a misty veil,
And like a teenager, I hopelessly wish, for just one look of yours that I could steal

I sit down smiling, over this sweet confusion for no reason or rhyme
A rose petal I discover in a book, and am being drifted back in time

I may not be near to you now, and we might not be meeting too, in days to be
But in a way so special you make me feel, together, through the stars we see

And when we sit on the rocks, in our dreams, a word from you or even without
I give you the control to obliterate me, whichever way you wish, all throughout

Each time, I talk to you it sinks; I was meant to be yours despite all despites
A divine discretion seems to be working, ever since we met on that fateful night !!!
