Cherishing Today



I am happy thinking of you
I am glad when you think of me too    
I am satisfied when I’m with you
I am fulfilled when you are with me too

Am enjoying of what I have here
With happiness also grows fear
Trying to run from all the noise
Want to drown in my given joys

Can’t stop thinking of tomorrow
When happiness turns to sorrow
Wish my joys last with me forever
Or it ends me, where it ends whenever

I am happy to hear your voice so true
I am glad to get your tight hugs too
I am satisfied when I smell your skin
I am fulfilled when you lie close within

All good things with me do not last
Joy is here today, I ain't letting it be past
Why are you here I haven’t any clue
Cherishing today these moments with you

Mahesh Wadhwani

I always apologize for the length of my text as that’s the best way for me to communicate rather than verbally!! Not a man of many words but still manage to doodle when in mood to write, which is rare!! I am not even sure if what I scribble is poetry or even what form or just words that rhyme!! To me writing is an art, a sign of creativity and a means of expression. I don't really think that anyone can just write without any feelings, without having felt, without having lived, experienced or cherished. Whatever one writes, there is some amount of a persons own feelings and presence or of those around them, indicated in the works. So I am thankful to all the people in my life and those yet to come for having given me life, love, happiness and even pain. At-least I have had the opportunity to feel it , live it and express it, whatever it maybe. Cheers! more…
