What true love is!

Out of his bed, he started weeping
And ne'r ceased until she looked...
Her looks cared,
At first sight, smiles wake!

And in her eyes - joy yelled!
He spoke not - yet she comprehended!
She loved embracing - his face -
Blushing at every kiss!
She placed him on her laps,
He restrain'd not seeing her...

The purest form - I,
the world ever adules - she
The mother... takes nothing and
dithers not to give everything....
What true love is!!

All it gives and all it takes....

If my college pals still remember, I wrote this poem for a lil contest announced by John Immanuel, our English teacher (that was his designation.. That doesn't mean he knew English actually.. Probably he missed seeing " CAUGHT IN THE WRONG JOB?!" ad on TV. ) Anyways, back to the point, the contest ultimately became a super comedy... The most hilarious poems without a subject were chosen as the best. However, this one is ever close to my heart... So many similies... indirect meanings... I thought I should open it up for your reading.

"I...? Falling in love? - Impossible" he uttered
Fate giggled in reply, " Every plant flowers,
Every bud does bloom!"

A new dawn, the red rose's bud
Smiled up in his garden.
His sight - a girl - Her beauty
Splendid, looks stunning,
Her words - soothing and knowledge - inviting!
Warmth, passion and what not?
Thought spun round her
His heart spoke of none else!!

His qualities - not too less,
She resisted not... The flower did bloom!
"Life without her" - He dared not to imagine!!
He adules, "WHAT ALL LOVE GIVES!"

The flower does fade and wither too,
Dusk came, she said, "I'm wedded",
And in her finger, glittered his sorrow.
Then came the words,
"WHAT ALL LOVE TAKES"....

Right did Scott say,
" Love swells like a Solway,
And ebbs like its tide."

College life......

CHOOSING COLLEGE means.....

Choosing all time TV...

Choosing to live on cheap alcohol (Guys only.... I guess!!) and
instant meals...

Choosing to sniff clothes (washed years ago) to see if they are
wearable...

Choosing to stay up all the night writing the assignment you should
have been working on for the past three months or even more...

Choosing to be out everytime the landlord calls round for rent
(applicable only to outstation guys though)...

Choosing to blow your money on nights out after telling really
convincing lies at home...

Choosing to fall asleep in between lectures...

Choosing to munch left overs for breakfast and dinner at home (for you have siblings who manage to devour everything when you aren't around.. Don't have one?! I envy you...!)...

Choosing never to take bath before evening...

Choosing to do all those things your parents warned you about...

Choosing to pathetically attend twelve hour cramming sessions at
college...

Choosing to befriend the class NERD for all the notes...

Choosing to start weekends two days early...

Choosing long holidays and flexible deadlines for the LAST time in
your lives...

Choosing to try studying for four years and then actually learn
slogging at work...

Choosing not to sit next to the dumbest person or in the first bench
during lectures...

Chosing to get high and talk absolute bullshit....

Choosing to increase your alcohol tolerance level...

Choosing the BEST TIME IN YOUR LIVES......!!!!
