Stairway To Heaven


Your arms around me felt so strong,
They made me feel secure.
Each loving word you said to me,
Was meaningful and pure.

Your body beside mine felt so warm,
Arousing my sensations.
Bringing to surface all my wants,
Enkindling my temptations.

I loved you with a passion burning
Stronger than all fire.
You were the cause and reason for
Each deep and dark desire.

Your breadth, your smell, your voice, your touch,
Have left me craving still.
The hollow void you’ve left in me,
None can ever fill.

Your promises of being with me,
Always and forever,
Were illusions, making me believe
We were to be together.

The bond of love was growing stronger
Each and every day.
Falsely deluding me to think
The bond was there to stay.

Each moment spent with you is cherished,
And will always be.
Each time you held my hands in yours,
Seemed Heaven to me.


Heaven – Where’s there’s joy and mirth,
There’s love and there’s elation.
Heaven – gleaming in its glory,
God’s wondrous creation.

Heaven – You were the Angel sent
To me from God above.
To guide me, show me, help me, hold me,
Care for me and love.

Heaven – I felt as light as though
God had given me wings.
You gave me all and even more
Than Paradise can bring.

Heaven – My soul resided among clouds
And golden gleaming sunshine.
Exuberant in my mirth I felt
I lived on Cloud Nine.

Now that you’ve left me standing here,
Heaven has turned to hell.
Whether or not I’ll see you again,
That time will only tell.

Your absence makes the heart grow fonder,
You’ve left me all alone.
I’ll learn to carry on in life,
Be happy on my own.

I’ll love you and I’ll miss you and
I’ll always feel that way.
My love for you, it seems, grows stronger
Each and every day.

I wish I could feel the comfort of
Your presence ever near.
I wish I could hear you whisper once
For the last time in my ear.

I wish I could feel your touch again,
For which each day I yearn.
I wish you could put out the passion which
Till now in me does burn.

You’ve left impressions in my life,
I hope you understand.
You may have come and gone but you’ve
Left footprints in the sand.

I wish that time can blur the space
Between you and me
This vast distance, miles apart,
Has finally made me see.

That God has made each you and me
A separate entity.
That you and me as one not two,
Was never meant to be.

The Angel God had sent to me,
God once more has taken.
Leaving me yearning, pining, craving,
Leaving me forsaken.

So wishing that you strive in life,
Succeed in all you do.
Learn great lessons like the ones
Which I have learnt from you.

Attain great heights, achieve your goals,
Take care and hope you’re fine.
May God bless you, in your happiness
Always does lie mine.

Remember, when you need my help,
I’ll always be around
I hope we meet again for I
Believe the earth is round.

Well, if we don’t, we’ll die the day,
Our deeds on earth are done.
Maybe that day we’ll meet once more,
On the Stairway To Heaven.

The Meadows


A shade of pastel green stretched on,
Below the azure horizon,
As I stopped to ponder,
And take a more leisurely look,
At the verdant fields by the brook,
And the meadows yonder.

The pastures and the grazing lands,
The haystacks tinted shades of sand,
On which the cattle fed.
The merry maiden was picking corn,
Humming a tune, she seemed forlorn,
As she picked, beside the shed.

The sky that morn was crystal clear,
As I strolled along, and stopped to peer,
At the carriage on the path.
Which passed the naked sun baked boys,
Exuberant in their mirth and joy,
Having their midday bath.

Calm and peaceful, I ambled along,
And whistled the tuneful pleasant song
The maiden had hummed to me.
She had given me a lovely smile,
Which had lingered on, and lasted a while,
Remaining etched in my memory.

After all these years, even today,
I still cherish that peaceful day;
Beautiful in every way.
The acres of lustrous grass so fine,
And the honey coloured sunshine,
That led the cattle astray.
