Down the memory lane

Our first trip together

Running away from the eyes, looks and questions

Hiding in the array of trees, bees, passion and emotions

On the way to a godly destine

You pick me as predestine

I pop in with a big smile

Vroom does the engine

Poof goes the tension

On our first trip together

Talking to the air, we take on the road

Love was in the air and it showed

Nothing could blot and spoil the mood

Souls entwine and we were on cloud nine

Passing through the concrete, holding your hand

Air got smelly and a little damp

Even before I could whine or snide

You put on Ambipur and I smiled

On our first trip together

The circles on the road

Going through the hill,

Pink of love and red of thrill,

Being with you, felt like heaven

Half way through and it was almost eleven

You decided to take a break and we stopped for lunch

I don’t know if you knew or you had a hunch

That I talk to my food and get in a very bad mood

When I am hungry, I brood

You had the best place in mind

It had all my favourites lined

Next one hour was food, chat and laughs

Lost in it like fools in love

On our first trip together

And we carried on,

Moving to love, grooving to music

All the way to top,

We carried on.

All the notions broken,

All the words spoken

Minds were shut and hearts open

The day marked the beginning, the beginning of our story

No I don’t remember where we were going,

Yes I didn’t care where we were going

That part is lost in the memory

But I do remember it was the start of a wonderful journey

A journey still going on!

This post is  my entry for "The perfect road trip contest" by Ambipur

Tomorrow is rising

Propel your believes
Bury your fury

Erase today and write a new story

There is always tomorrow

And tomorrow is rising 

No don’t give up
Your dreams are tender

Your mind may wander;

Be curious and render

That life is tough and the journey tougher

But don’t lose hope

There is always tomorrow

And tomorrow is rising

Doubts may surface

And you may get nervous
Uncles may growl and aunts may scowl

But don’t lose your pace

There is fun in the chase

Swap each shrill  with a slice of grit

Change your blues with a hint of wit

And don’t forget there is always tomorrow

And tomorrow is rising

No problem so strong that can’t be solved

No issue so strong that can’t be resolved

Factor in your strength and 

shake the indolence
Perch your dreams on a hilltop
and root it to substance

Look out, watch out, for tomorrow

I know tomorrow is rising

Don’t stay still

Have an urge and a will
to wend your own path
Be typical but class

Yesterday is gone,

Today is going

Tomorrow is there

And tomorrow is rising

I saw I learnt

You fell I saw

I saw and learnt falling is okay if you know how to get up

You cried I saw

I saw and learnt crying is okay if you are hurt

You slipped I saw

I saw and learnt I can slip, slide and swing if I know my own grounds

You broke down I saw

I saw and learnt breaking down is okay if you know how to pick up the pieces

You feared I saw

I saw and learnt its okay to fear the unknown

You walked I saw

I saw and learnt to walk off things I am not sure of

You laughed I saw

I saw and learnt to laugh at my own mistakes

You loved I saw

I saw and learnt to love myself

You hated I saw

I saw and learnt it is okay to hate few things in life

You spoke I saw

I saw and learnt that it is okay to speak up for things I believed in

You heard I saw

I saw and learnt to have a patient ear

You fell again I saw

I saw you falling down again and again

But I have learned enough to give you my hands, hold you tight and tell you its okay to fall every time

Dedicated to my mother for being who she is. For leading with a courageous example. A lead difficult to follow. I hope I am able to be a fraction of a woman she was and she is.
