It only takes...

It only takes…

A selfless act of kindness,
Lending a helping hand…

…To bring a soulful smile across the wrinkles,
Of a betrayed lonesome tramp.

It only takes…

A reckless moment of madness,
Insane portrayal of anger…
…To shatter the dreams of an innocent,
By the pull of the deadly trigger.

It only takes…

A sincere and heartfelt ‘Yes’
Expressed by a fondly loved…
…To make the world seem magical,
For the ecstatic lover, who had jus proposed.

It only takes…

A flashback of stirring memories,
Reminiscence of the past,
…To evoke bitter-sweet emotions,
Of a relationship that did not last.

It only takes…

A forgiving teddy-embrace,
Warm, loving and tender…
…To get back the sparkle in the teary eyes,
Of the child who jus owned up his err.

It only takes…

A hasty squabble,
Battle of egos and wits.
…To distance relationships,
And unintentionally wound hearts.

It only takes…

A few moments of merriment,
Some time off from the daily humdrum…
…To make her feel special,
Ever caring Grand-mum.

It only takes…

An instance of weakness,
Momentary blindness of what is right.
…To opt to go the wrong way,
And let be misguided.

It only takes…

A simple sweet smile,
Served with wholehearted generosity,
…To create a lasting first impression,
Rather than sinking into anonymity.

It only takes…

Earnest enchanting desires,
Fantasies and wishful dreams.
…To make life beautiful,
Decorated with glitter and gleam…!

Life Is...

Life is a "Rollercoaster"

So rightly compared.
A personalized thrill ride,
For each one, onboard.
There are its climbs and falls,

And heart-skipping trails,
Just hold tight and go for it,
To excite you, it never fails.

Life is a "Cocktail"
Emotions perfectly blend.
Sweet & sour come as a package,
Cos... That's how it is served!
The potpourri of flavors,
May baffle you at times,
Sip on and enjoy it,
Through this confusion... jus smile.

Life is a "Miracle"
Ponder about it as much as you wish.
Everything eventually seems perfectly planned,
As if, triggered by a magic wand's swish!
Until it actually passes by,
Even the next day seems a mystery.
Make the most of each moment,
Simply live it up royally!

Life is a "Jigsaw Puzzle"
Each phase in life - a piece of the maze.
Rush not to solve this riddle...
Cos slowly but surely, the pieces fall in place,
Every piece, flawlessly created,
Fits exactly into the puzzle,
The perfection of the final picture,
Leaves you awestruck & bedazzled!

Life is a "Child's Play"
A no-complex, fun-filled game.
Winners & losers, there are none,
Every player is treated the same.
Giggle along, make merry,
Delight you heart.
Take pleasure in its simple joys.
Just play your part, play smart
