Grains of sand

From Thru my eyes

I count the grains of sand on the beach

They stretch as far as my eyes reach

When I am done I will tell you

Just how much I love you…

  3. I shall wait till eternity
    for you to finish
    your counting
    and hear those
    three magical words.

    Shail, nothing personal, just wanted to coin a reply :-) )

    Me: That was a beautiful response Balvinder. :) I bet that’s what you’d tell Jeet (name correct??) if she were to recite these lines to you! ;)

  5. Counting the grains in the beach will take all eternity
    Am I supposed to let you do that and wait patiently
    Is this the sinister part of you that is always tricky
    telling me that you never thought of loving me?

    I wish I could. I mean, publish !!! :)

    Me: Lol, Govind, you have a new angle to it there! :D
    Hmm… about publishing
    ‘Publish’ says the public
    And I sort of panic
    Isn’t it really tragic
    Publishing is no picnic
    My writing is sporadic
    though it seems prolific
    So I remain a skeptic
    And about publishing a little phobic

    “Love is like a handful of sand,for it will fall down if held too tightly and will fly away if held too lightly” …

    Me: Thats a good one Nimmy :) But I believe whether you hold it tightly or lightly or just rightly (omg that rhymed!!) if it has to go it will. Just a little piece of my own philosophy. :)

  17. “Love-don’t hold it too light or too tight..Just let it free..If it fly away,it was never yours..” :)

    Me: I used the phrase ‘just right’ to mean ‘let it free’ :)
