My Childhood -Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

My Childhood

Lying in my bed,

I would think of my childhood,

When I once laughed and played,

With no responsibilities to care about,

The days when I rushed home after school,

To play with my pals till the dusk,

The evenings when I roamed in my little cycle,

Through the narrow streets up my home,

The little pain and frustration I bore with,

When my mom tugged my ears and beat me,

While making me study my lessons,

Now these are just memories that are knotted

Close to my heart,

So that these sweet memories can be treasured

Within me till I’m burned to ashes

Rain Drops -Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

Rain Drops

Looking through the window,

With tears rolling down my cheeks,

I stared at the tiny drops of rain,

Tapping the ground in a lovely tune!

Stretching my arms, I felt the chilling drops,

Splashing on my face!

It made me smile under my sobs,

Bringing me the joy of happiness!

Wiping my teary eyes with my little wet hands,

I started playing with the music of rain

Which washed away the pain and loneliness,

That made my eyes fill with tears!

I stood there, staring out in the moonlight,

Feeling the cold breeze of twilight,

Till I saw the last drop splash on the ground

Enchanted Hearts -Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

Enchanted Hearts

When you first talked to me,

I felt a spell of friendship!

When our friendship went beyond ,

My heart wished our friendship to be stronger,

And never to be parted from you!

You listened when I had a problem

And helped me dry my tears!

You took away my sorrows,

And filled me with happiness!

I never can forget the fun we’ve had,

And laughing till our faces turn blue!

Talking of things we found funny,

And keeping little secrets that we never gave out

You believed in me,

When I was teased to believe in myself!

You loved me,

For what I am

People think we are insane,

But only if they knew the mojo of friendship

All Encompassing Love- Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

All Encompassing Love

He knew me before I was even thought of,

He loved me before I existed,

Love is the only feeling that,

Everyone has from birth to death,

Love is pure with no complications,

Love is a gift of God,

Love is God and God is love,

A love that comes from him to me!!

Our childhood is filled with parents’ love,

Their love will forgive us unreservedly,

They are the first ones to hold our hands,

Their love has no bounds,

Throughout life their love will be with us,

They are the lamps which brings light to our lives,

The angels sing when they are near,

Within their arms, you have nothing to fear!!

Friendship is a valuable gift in our lives,

We receive love from friends.

But sometimes love makes us cry,

Love is nothing, but love is everything!

Love is like a million sparkling stars,

We spend most of our time,

With teachers in our childhood,

Teachers are those who admonish us with love

Teachers are the ones who admonish us with care!

Love is hurting as well as painful,

Love is something that comes from the soul,

When I feel rejected,

He becomes an ever loving confidante,

He always knows just what to say,

Talking to him makes my day,

When I feel alone, I see him. Envoy of God sent for me!

My love loves me and my life is filled with colors!!

I can understand, my life mate, my soul mate,

What love is through him,

When the rhythm of my life falls,

He becomes the music of my life,

When I get worried,

He encamps me with love,

His love is never ending!!

She looks at me through her sleepy eyes,

I smile at her, she looks away,

She rises with the moon,

Livens up the gloom,

She’s my doll, She’s my love

She’s my gift from heaven above,

She’s the one who’ll carry my name,

She’s my child, the new one in my life!!

Parents are the ones who take our hand,

When we are young!

We’ll be the ones who take their hands,

When they are old!

When they lose hope,

I am there for them,

For they were with me at my birth,

And I will be with them till the end!!

My Pal-Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

My Pal

The day I entered the campus,

I felt lonely and shy,

Cos I had never known you before,

But day after day I started loving you,

The way you love me and care for me,

Cos you are my pal,

That I’ll always keep a place in my heart,

Fighting with you was the sweetest moments

I had with you,

You will stay with me forever,

 Doesn’t matter how far we are,

You are a part of my soul,

Cos you are my pal!!

My Fantasy World of Love-Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

My Fantasy World of Love

I don’t know when,

My heart started to bloom again,

I don’t know why,

My heart started to beat faster.

When I see him,

I don’t know what,

Made me so close to him.

The only thing I know is that,

I am filled with happiness!!

Dawn to dusk I thought of him,

His lovely grin made my day wonderful,

When I close my eyes,

I could see him with a cute smile,

When the world reject me,

I wished only for him to be with me,

But the truth is that,

He was not mine at all!!

Hex of minds- Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

Hex of minds

Loneliness embraces our souls

When the whole world ignores us!

Loneliness understands us,

When the whole world doesn’t!

Loneliness holds our hand,

When we are left alone to walk through the darkness

But the one that we wish not to be

Is in the LONELINESS

My Bleeding Heart -Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

My Bleeding Heart

The one whom I know,

Though was the best,

But the one whom I know,

Didn’t really know me,

The one I loved,

I loved the most,

Then I was in a fantasy world,

Where I could see only him and me!!

The thought of him,

Made me crazy,

But the thoughts of me,

Didn’t really bother him,

The more I said sorry,

The more he went far from me,

I thought my heart was just,

Made to be broken!!

My heart beats faster,

Only for him,

Even my breath,

Tells his name,

But I was late to realize that,

My broken heart can’t be joined,

Once again!!

I wished for a shoulder,

That could solace me,

But all I could see was the darkness,

And when I slew myself in loneliness,

I saw him living happily,

There were times when tears rolled down,

When thinking of him,

But then his another memory touches my heart,

And I start smiling with my teary eyes!!

Then I would think,

Does he remember me,

Like I remember him?

Now I walk the streets alone,

I hate being on my own,

It made me feel like hell,

Thinking about him with somebody else!!

And now, time just seems,

To lose its importance,

When I’m still standing,

In the middle of the road,

Holding him close to my heart,

Cause I didn’t want to lose him,

But he just walked away,

Without noticing my bleeding heart,

That still beats only for him,

Then I walk back to my life,

Living in the hope that,

One day, he’ll come back

I Am Alone- Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

I Am Alone

When I opened my eyes,

I saw nothing in front of me,

But my shadow!!

I felt lonely at that time,

I felt someone touching my shoulders,

But it was my hair,

Flying around in the air,

I felt  someone shining the torch on me,

But it was the ray of light,

That touched me through the windows,

I felt lonely at that time,

I wished if someone was near me,

To keep away my loneliness

Her Entangled Soul- by Sreelakshmi Vasudevan

Her Entangled Soul     

There was once a little girl,        

Who hid her tears,

Under her lovely grin,

Her life was complicated,

Which made it miserable

None knew what she was,

Neither had they tried to.

They thought she was happy,

But never knew her wounded soul!

She spent her nights

Sitting in a dark room

Crying with fear and pain

Wishing she hadn’t been alone,

Cursing God

For her life which was a hell

She sooth her scarlet skin

With her tiny little fingers,

Suppressing all the pain

And consoles herself that it was her fate

Her soted father returns home

When the dusk draws

Abuses her for no reason

Never fondled her with loving words

Not tried to understand her weeping heart

Her soul was dead a long ago

She would stand there numb

Without uttering a word,

Forgiving her father with a despondent   heart

Then would wish “if my mother were alive”

It was that fateful night

The night her heart stopped crying

She yelled, shouted and cried out loud,

But none to hear her wounded soul,

Dismal of concealing her sorrows,

She thought its time to abolish it,

Wiping the tears from her sunken eyes,

She took out a silver blade with a hazardous smile,

And slew herself closing her eyes.

She lay numb in a pool of blood,

When she saw her mother standing near

Watching her take in her last breath.
