It all started on one moonlit night - A Pantoum Verse

It all started on one enchanting moonlit night
    When white serene light was falling on his face
At the time, when the dusk had kissed goodnight
    He felt as in from another time and place

When white serene light was falling on his face
   The sight of his smiling face was all I could see
He felt as in from another time and place
    And all I could hear was the voice of the sea

The sight of his smiling face was all I could see
    In the moonlight, when quietness crept up the hill
And all I could hear was the voice of the sea
    We just sat there as the woods grew darker still

In the moonlight when quietness crept up the hill
    I knew in my heart - it's now or never
We just sat there as the woods grew darker still
    And he had my heart for now and forever

I knew in my heart - it's now or never
    At the time, when the dusk had kissed goodnight

And he had my heart for now and forever
    It all started on one enchanting moonlit night...

School Days

How lovely were the sunny days

When we had our own mysterious ways

Days were all about gruelling fun

Teased our friends with names of someone

Life was fun without any tension

To make friends was the only intention

And crushes and heart breaks were sweet 

And we never bothered to tweet 

Lunch box was over before lunch time

And there was nothing called only mine

Last bencher I was and a notorious child

Always in trouble and doing something wild

Homework were shared to get friends out of trouble

And chits and paper planes were made during lessons

Scolding and punishments were never more fun

And when we get in trouble we used to run

Getting in trouble and chalk fights were common

And those days can never ever be forgotten

Truth is now time has passed

And reality has to be faced

But now I miss those golden days

Trying to live them again in anyway

It was best part which has now crossed

In memories it exists , the time that I have lost..

The Only Woman

There she is-

the girl of my dreams

walking gracefully like clouds glide through sky

There she is- 

the girl I love with all my heart, 

smiling in way that takes my breath away

There she is-

the girl I am going to marry, 

her eyes twinkling with promises of the future

There she is- 

the woman of my life,

walking in the lovely white laced gown 

There she is-

the love of my life, my better half

for now and forever

                                

Here she lies at peace-

The woman I have always loved

The only woman I have ever loved...

Inspired by a short write, I read sometime back about a father re-enacting his wedding photo shoot in his house with his little daughter after his wife's untimely demise. This write I wrote was keeping him in mind as the protagonist. Hope you will enjoy reading it.
