When I met you again….

When I met you again….

Another chance to see you,

And I knew our friendship is strong and not in vain.

For less time it may be, your eyes spoke a lot.

Kept puzzling me whether its silence or a thought.

It was time to go back, maybe a sad flight.

And when it was time to say goodbye,

No words seemed to express it, my throat just choked and died.

You turned back and the count was three,

I knew your eyes searched for me.

Desperately waving my hand to you,

Glass being my enemy and you just couldn’t see.

The last look consumed and you were out of sight,

Sadness seeped through me, a strange feeling of fright.

Went back with a heavy heart,

Remembering your words echoing through,

Time and again hitting me like a dart.

Maybe this was not our last goodbye,

I will be there in your shores soon,

Back to my first love i.e. MUMBAI, I will be there I promise you.

“I will be there only for thou,

Till then in unrest will be thy soul.

Friend, these words just I don’t speak,

It comes from deep within thy heart,

Don’t find these words weak.

Thou shalt be thee forever,

Thou have taken a step forward, taken this friendship to a new level.

Roads may seem twisting, turning through the never.

Our Love will be immortal,

After forever……”

- Varun N Rao

When I “Met” you - II….

When I “Met” you - II….

When you came here to my shore,

A strange city to you called Bangalore.

Told me there’s a week for you,

We had to meet, was all that we knew.

My joy knew no bounds,

A dream comes true to see you,

This will make our friendship profound.

Just couldn’t keep me waiting I guess,

On a Friday eve, our meet was fixed.

As I walked on cloud no 9,

To a heaven which had a “Cakewalk” sign.

My eyes seemed to search you,

Appeared out from nowhere and caught me through.

Soft spoken, you seemed like a puzzle,

Just wanted me to speak on and on,

But I was “silent”, What a Miracle!!!

Wanted so much to tell you, the words just couldn’t flow out,

Your simplicity baffled me,

Having you as my friend, I am so proud.

It was time to go, sadness filled I knew,

Stood there till my eyes had your last vision.

Wished we could have some more time to spend,

Maybe that was the reason.

I was afraid to sleep that day,

Feared my memories of you will fade away.

I never thought we can meet again...

When I met you -I……

When I met you -I……

I remember the day I met you online,

7 pm and the day was Valentine.

Strangers to each other,

We were bought together from nowhere.

Something told me, we will go far together,

The reason I cared.

The long letters I wrote to you,

And the sweet, short replies you always threw.

The poems which I loved to share,

You collected those and showed that you cared.

2 ½ years of selfless friendship and love,

It still goes strongly and it shows…

Encouraged me to write and take chances,

And make my way through 1000 freelancers...

Thrilled I am always at the success,

Thanks to your trust, nothing else matters…
