AND YOU KNOW WHY...


I know you no longer wish me each morning,
Still my eyes search you when I wake up.
I don’t know why..

I know you’ll never answer me,
Still I keep on dialing your number.
I don’t know why..

I know you can’t listen to my words,
Still I talk to you for hours on end.
I don’t know why..

I know you can never be with me again,
Still I feel you are right here,sharing my hardships.
I don’t know why…

I know you are quite lonely there,
But I’m helpless,your little baby needs her father.
You know why..

Anwesa said…
@brocasarea,
thanx!!!
Each morning I turn to wish you
But kiss loneliness instead
And then I remember why

I rush to answer your call
And the stop in mid track
because I have suddenly remembered why

I want to be with you again
To share my life with you... but I wont
And I remember why

I look at the little girl who sleeps
Missing her father, who she'll never see
And I have never forgotten why...

Perspectives. Thought I could be the mother and if this was the father who has written it.

I first thought maybe death had parted the two, but then I realised that need not be the case..

So just an attempt. Hope you dont mind..

Great thought and poem there :)

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

A s I was walking , C hoosing the hues of life, R ainclouds made an appearance O n the sunny sky above. S cuttling through untrodden paths, T he narrow bylanes,not a soul around, I was indeed lost - Drops of rain C hased me - but Ahoy! a way was found.

PRE-ANNIVERSARY INSANITY

MY LIFE AND TIMES will be a year old on 26th of this month. Blogging has been my greatest pleasure since then. I would like to thank my countless (?) readers who have added to my experience on bloggerville. A huge thank you to all of you ! Why I blog ? #It’s a good pastime (lol...I guess it’s a lot more) #I get to read some real good posts (and take cues) #I get to read some crap posts too( no offence meant-actually they enhance my positive self esteem :D) #My friends and relatives see me in a new light here ( After all, now they know that I’v some good qualities too :D ) #I made some good blogger friends with whom I can have fun. I’m sure many of my loyal readers are still reading. For them, there will be a treat on the D-day. ( Don’t raise your expectations sky high-its just a post - no awards/interviews/guest posts ). But I’ll give my best to fill your time with a good read. I was turning the pages of my personal diary today and I found this. This is for you, my dearest blog (my
