Mother, I`m scared.
I`m scared of tomorrow’s darkness.
Scared of things unknown.
I`m scared, mother.
…
Dress my knee when I stumble on a foolish decision.
Call me back when I`m lost playing foul.
Press my shoulder: shake me up,
When I stare life, in blank.
Mother, I`m scared.
…
I need your warm lap, when I`m tired of chasing.
Need your saree tassel to knot, when I`m dead wrong.
Need you, to hide my face when all laugh at me.
Need your smile to assure and reassure me, to myself.
Mother, I`m scared.
…
Cuddle me, when I cry.
Pat me, when I`m right.
Please be with me, when sticks fall apart;
To say there is nothing to get scared:
As you always did.
.

PS: I’d penned a faint idea of this poem months back, and had no brave to publish it. It was some days before that I had an interview for a job the next day. I had hell things to prepare and this stubborn one dragged me off all that, pestered to add more lines to it. And it won.
They say, poems aren`t written, they just happen and when they happen we only reserve the right to pen them down.
Wonderful sensitive piece of writing. Just keep doing it, you’re very talented.
thanks much roger. Those words filled me more life to write. love your photos:]
yes i so much agree with U that they just happen and no matter what, they deserve a place at the right time and they surely will :) a good piece Vishu :]
yes joy, and as you say it can be an addiction at times. It is not in your will to write it or leave:]

I liked this poem and also liked these below two sentences very much:). It reminded me of my childhood days:).
Call me back when I`m lost playing foul.
Need you, to hide my face when all laugh at me.
This is one of my favorite poems too. Do you write Abhyudha? If yes, I would love to read you :)
Yappa no I don’t write:) neither would I read before nor my english vocabulary is good. Please recommend some more blogs of yours or your friends such as this one:) Thanks in advance.
You can find the links of my friends’ blog on the widget pane on the right side. If you like reading in Kannada I suggest Kendasamige and Avadi. Will tell you more.
I also suggest to read Abhyudha’s blog once he starts writing ;)
Where is the link to ur friend’s blogs? I couldn’t find.
