When You Are Around..



I feel I’m on a journey with you
I feel happy and content too
I feel like I'm on top of a mountain and free
I feel like am bird soaring high on a tree
I can hear my heart thumping fast
I can now breathe some fresh air to last
I feel that I am riding blind on cloud nine
I wish this moment can now stop all time
I know I can be myself with you
I don’t need a front, just me true
I can be quiet, naughty and bashful
I feel secured, fulfilled and peaceful
I feel that I'm wanted and needed by someone
I want to share and bare it all one by one
I can just sit and gaze at you
I can rave and be amazed by you
I like being hugged tightly by you
I like laying cuddled nightly with you
I like taking care of you
I like talking thru things that worry you too
I can watch senseless tv
I can engage in deep conversations freely
I am quite frankly scared too
Thoughts of loneliness do construe
You give me hope and courage within
You give me a reason to believe in

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…
