No rules, no fear - An acrostic poem

Not to plan

Once in a while

Risk my emotions

Unravel the mystery

Listen to my heart

Enjoy being me

Sound more confident

Never ever sulk

Overcome anxiety

Fear no more

Enlighten my soul

Ask for help

Reinvent myself

Mistakes happen

Mistakes happen

In every relationship

Sorry for what I did

Think you can forgive me?

Accept me, I was naive

Knowing my stupidity

Excuse me if you can

Spell out what’s in your mind

Hiding how you really feel

Acting weird around me

Puzzles me deep inside

Pretend this never happened

Ease into our friendship

Neglecting the difficult past

Practicing acrostics!

If you haven't noticed yet - The first letter of each line spells out the title of the poem

Somebody somewhere will be there for you – Always!

To make you laugh, to make you cry
To tell you stories, that you can’t deny
To listen to all that you had to say
Sometimes just to make you sway!

There comes someone in your life
When talking to others becomes a strife
It is just miraculous how you get close
You talk as if there is nothing to disclose

There can be more than one such friend
That can make the relationship to transcend
This is that best friend you can get hold of
Mind you; it need not always be your love

You might have had someone to speak to
When you were alone, had nobody to turn to
Who just happened to help you sail through
Somebody somewhere is always there for you!

A business man in love

Here is a love story of an ambitious businessman
With dreams and hopes who had just but two goals
He said I would consider my life’s work to be done
Once I became an artist and found a loved one

An Engineer by profession, an artist by passion
He set upon the journey to realize his dreams
Artist thing came easy the other one was hard
In the process of finding love he became a bard

Enterprising by nature bragging was his culture
A pioneer in his field though he hated what he did
Started searching for a girl with all his heart
For someone who is beautiful, charming and smart

Met many girls with whom he easily got bored
Never found one whom he really adored
He started to wonder if it is only a myth
To meet a woman who he could get along with

Then came a girl into his life as a big surprise
Beautiful he thought looking at her sparkling eyes
Unique and brilliant with beauty and brains
Happy to meet her he celebrated with champagne

They spoke for hours through days and nights
Enjoying each others company with out any fights
She sang songs from movies by Yash Chopra
He sang the song from The Phantom of the Opera

He took her on a date flying to another state
Looking at her he thought he found his soul mate
He got her roses and a necklace with a black pearl
Excited at his gifts she smiled like a little girl

Lunch in a posh restaurant followed by a coffee shop
Dinner at a pizza place everywhere they talked non stop
She felt happy that he came to visit her from far
And drove her around in a red sports car

As he was leaving she was curious to know
If he felt this trip was worth the dough
After all a businessman he sounded quite funny
When he said ‘I got value for my money’!

An all purpose friend

We all have different kinds of friends
Some to gossip some to talk about trends
Some are for laughs some are for tears
Some to meet on weekends for cool beers

With a few you can share all about your family
With some you can just say any thing arbitrarily
With some you can talk about your colleagues
With some you can shop for hours in boutiques

Nice to have some one who can be an all in one
With whom you can be yourself and have lot of fun
Need not hesitate whether to say this or hide that
It doesn’t matter as they won’t spread the chitchat

If exists an all purpose friend should be some one
Who can replace all your friends in the long run
May be a complete stranger but feels like a soul mate
With whom no matter what you just feel great

Purpose of Life

True happiness is in making others happy
Having an impact on a person is not simple
Doing some thing memorable is not easy
It takes a gesture of kindness and warmth

Transform lives of those around one at a time
Light a spark in one and let them spread the same
A few drops in the ocean can create a ripple
It makes a difference even if it is just a couple

Our purpose of life is to serve others
Be good to those who are not good to you
There lies the true challenge, a chance to reform
To question their conscience and correct their deeds

Like the lamp, spread light to enlighten the world
Let your brains and kindness be the fuel
It is okay to get burnt a little in that process
You will see waves of happiness coming forward

A Perfect Mismatch

I was ready to explore a new world
Timid and shy when I first arrived
Trying to make friends of my type
Unexpectedly you came into my life

You were mighty and intimidating
I was quite scared yet anticipating
You extended your hand in friendship
And assured me of your fellowship

We became best friends instantly
Boasting about each other constantly
It is nothing but destiny that we met
The strangest any friendship can get

How often do you find such an odd pair?
To have a friend like you is truly rare
As for me you are such a good catch
Though we are a perfect mismatch!
