In the blowing wisps of sweet smelling petals,
In the fury of waves lashing on the sun-kissed rocks
In the pearl like droplets of the evocative rain
In the sand subtly pricking on my bare feet
In the mesmerizing music playing afar
I sense the pristine beauty waiting to be inhaled
It’s the ideal backdrop for the postcard shot
I think to myself,a little more of light would make it perfect
And then like a God sent angel,the Sun provides me with the flash of a 1000 watt beam
Cheese! I shout out to let out their half suppressed giggles
I stand still with my hands outstretched , close my eyes and take a deep breath
Click ! I shoot the picture which would soon become a sight to treasure
I walk back home with loads of memories and a contented sigh
For I had captured that sublime moment in the lens of my eye!

My Sweety Pie
Like a cute, velvety teddy bear u first came into our lives,
To bring merrier days of laughter and smiles.
Your shiny coat of fur and twinkling eyes
Were the reason for those thousand covetous sighs
You devoured milk like a baby two months old,
It didn’t even matter whether it was hot or cold,
Stealing socks from shoes was your favorite game,
No wonder they said naughtiness was your second name.
You followed me in the house anytime anywhere I went
Like I was Mary and you my little lamb
You slept on my legs when I sat down to study
Oh! the feeling of it so soft,so warm n furry
When I danced around or sang and played that invisible guitar
You used to just tilt your head probably thinking “Has this girl gone crazy or what?”
You were always there to listen to my endless talks
And if it didn’t make sense, you showed your discontent with loud angry barks
When I shared with you my grief or talked about things which made me sad
You always listened patiently like a muted pal
Then you would lick me to show me your love and say you are there
In a second all my worries seemed to just disappear
Remember the days when you pooped in the house
Then hid under the bed like a scared mouse
When Mom scolded you for the mischief you did
You just sat there listening with that innocent look
You would look around wondering where I had been
Thinking to yourself “Whenever I need her she is not to be seen”
Then when you find me ,you come to me to pat you and take your side
And say to you “Don’t worry sweetie pie ,just don’t do it next time”
So many such moments that were to me so dear
Each memory now brings in my eyes a tear
My sweetie ,my teddy though now you have gone away so far
In my heart you would forever and always be near.
