| 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…

Very Romantic…….Love is limitless….
Cheers!!!
Me: Indeed it is limitless. Thanks Unnichetta. 🙂
Oooooooh! I loved it ! Absolutely loved it!!!!
Me: Thanks Pal! 🙂
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! 😉
Profound and so beautifully put. Wonderful verse
Me: Thanks Ritu. 🙂
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! 😀
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
Hey, Shail, Is a competition going on here?! Yours and all the other poems are fabulous, really!
Me: I too love the responses here. Thanks Sandhya! 🙂
I am a zero in coining words! Enjoyed reading this post, Shail!
Me: Ahhh who knows. One day you might be in a mood to write a few lines Sandhya! 🙂
I am demanding & impatient
just write it down on a parchment.
Super poem maam 🙂
Me: Lol @impatient Thanks Aditya.🙂
How do you write such lovely lines?
What thoughts with what ideas combine?
Shail your brilliance simply shines!

Me: Thanks IHM for the comment in verse! Yeah, I definitely like the comments too! 🙂
Shail, do I even need to say this?
How do you write such beautiful lines? How many posts of yours I have bookmarked..you know.
Me: Oh well …. *blush blush* Thanks a lot Solilo.
Woof woof!
Now here are the lines that portray love in its sheer simplicity and elegance! loved it!
Me: Oh wow a dog that appreciates poetry??! 😀 I took a look at your blog page and am am definitely going back for more. Thanks for dropping by Kaalicharan and the compliments.

“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. 🙂
“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’ 🙂
