Finding Joy in the midst of chaos

 Never tired Appa and his old scooter waits at the bus stop watching keenly for your bus; Gets all the luggage and the burden in your heart that you carry all the long way. Area Watchman uncle who smiles at you and always asks How are you kanna? whenever you go home and help Appa to carry your luggage to home; The neighbourhood kid who run towards you with the purest form of love and laugh and hug your knees tight and ask akka what you brought for me this time? Selfless Amma who waits all day long with sleepless night and waits at entrance gate to pamper you with warm hugs to symbolise "Everything will be okay my child"; Most annoying brother who wakes up with the sleepy face and blabber with the half sleep and say that Hey don't eat my cookies and Lays inside the fridge okay; But brought everything just for you before the day you arrive home; Silver crowned granny who give warm kisses on your forehead with her toothless smile and the chocolates she saved for you from you...

Didn't she deserves the tiara?

   From wiping my tears when Amma leaves for office, to saying "best wishes and be brave papa" half heartely when I left my hometown for the first time for office; From narrating all the fantasy stories of kings, thief's, merchants, farmers you came across in your life grid, to hearing all my stupid stories so patiently with that awe in your eyes like a kid; From feeding me food in the moon light on the terrace, to giving company in moon gazing and listening all my ups and downs of the day with the single cup of chai in the haze; From teaching me how to write alphabets, to being the only listener of all my poems in the drafts; From breaking the groundnut chocolate for me with your strong teeth, to sharing your grained rice soup With the artificial tooth set; From buying all my favourite chocolates and cookies from shops, to saving all the chocolates for me that guests bought in your medicine box; From plaiting my hair with the crisp black ribbons, to myself making your sa...

What will your pen scribble when you experience the real world for the 1st time?

  My dreams are delight to my soul So I could chase them even when I go old; They can call me crazy Because my dreams are not so easy; I gonna overcome the storm That would gonna make me strong; Though I have committed wrongs That won't take of the harmony in my songs; I cannot be broken Because God made me unshaken; Nothing can cut me down Because I am running behind the dawn; They can slay me with their words But I can rise up like a bird; When they start to crumble I won't let my soul to get tremble; When I go through simulations and humiliation I'll turn my sorrows into jubilation; I made my smile as the shield So that my scars could be healed; My desires are the apple of my eye Waiting for the moment when I could fly across the sky; I had wrote them in my heart With hope as my sword; I could steal the starts from the night lights To shine and burn on spotlight's; I won't settle on my field Until my dream world is filled; I'll go happily to bed Because I gon...

A Random rainy day

   //A Random rainy day// The first stranger you made friends with in a new city, The first flower from the rose plant you nurtured, The first sip of coffee with your best friend, The first dish you prepared in your life , The first rain drop that fell on your eye lash on a sunny day, The first day of college, The first gift that you gave Amma from your salary, The first bus ticket saved in the locker, The first bike ride, The first coin that your saved on your piggy bank, The first toy that appa bought for you in your childhood, The first PT period of the academic year, The first page of your Diary, The first wish your received on your birthday, The first day you left your home town, The first day of summer vacation The first Woollen sweater that granny made for you, The first award, The first movie that you watched with friends, The first day you travelled alone, The first person in your slam book, The first pen you used in the third grade A random rainy day just flashed all...

I grow with you everyday

  //I grow with you everyday// When the warmth of the night sky was only the reason for me to stay alive, You came as a dusky, dark and stardust seed craved to thrive; I replanted myself besides planting you, So that you and me will start to germinate new; I was worried that we were buried, In the genesis of battle; As I slowly build foundation strong with love and patience, and started visionizing two rays of hope in you that was time and persistence; I guarded you with the fence, as like I guard my heart from negative sense; You taught me what comes later is the fruit of the foundation and fencing, And now you have grown bigger than something meaningful that made me dancing; You gifted me your first flower, Finally I saw my ownself into yours; Am grateful for you all-day , for growing with you everyday! . . . ©little_jem❤️
