Is it tempestuous moments spend together or, Is it exchange of hugs and kisses, or Is it meaningful nights spend rolling on, or Is it the hot and violent gestures temptation, or Is it getting started and getting addicted, or Is it the often exchange of three word syllable, or Is it holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes. Or Is it lovely fight had over nights, or Is it sweat remembrance of Dating days and Wedding days, or Is it going on long drives with beloved with subtle music on, or Is it presenting gifts and expensive saree or jewellery set, or Is it living like a husband and wife and rearing kids, or Is it cooking all those favourite dishes for the candle light dinner, or Is it the beautiful face and dutiful mind, or Is it wild nature with moments of joys and frustrations, or Is it warmth of such a companion for lifelong who touches our heart and soul with closed eyes, untouched hands, and unspoken words? http://www.poemhunter.com

Lonely in the night, Looking at my plight, Confused with what is wrong, and what is right. Clear sky, Filled with bright moon light, Yet, gloomy –gloomy night, Heavy heart and poor sight. Past is past, So say vast, With lots of pain at last, Still up and steadfast. Like to share, With little extended care, Still feel unfair, Every night a nightmare. Puzzled with one’s life, Stumbled between roles of Women and wife, Is there any knife to tear apart, The hidden secret and guilt in my heart. Myself, my husband, my family, Circle blindly and abruptly, To break the chain, With whip or cane, To fly like wild crane, And to feel the spells of rain. At last, at last, the mighty night rolled on, With the haunting sun rising on No wonder, blooming flowers and chirping birds, I count my past with sequences numbered. http://www.poemhunter.com/sphoorthi-theatre/

MIRROR I look at myself in you, Sometimes, you make me look good, Sometimes dull, When I come upon hell, Still, you smile back and say to me, That, all is well. I laugh and you laugh with me, I cry and you too cry with me, I snob and wipe my tears, You still make me feel, That I am your dear, As I near and near. I shout and scream, When I am crazy and extreme, You keep calm and quite, All through day and night, Make me feel the silent, Better that noisy fight. You make me beautiful, When I smile, You make me ugly, When I am torn and exile, You are only one with me, When my world is gloomy. Hanged on the wall, you make me think, You make me realize and rethink, You give me an opportunity, To look back and feel no guilty, Chance to set right and be pretty, Like a little lassie. Mirror, Oh! My mirror, You surely don’t lie, As I see real self in you, When I open my eyes. http://www.poemhunter.com/sphoorthi-theatre/
