The Mirror Girl

The perfect words never
Crossed my mind,
Cause there was nothing in there
But you.
I felt every ounce of me
Screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me.
All I've wanted, just sped right past me
But I was rooted fast to the earth.
I could be stuck here, for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out.
There you are, standing right in front of me.
There you are, standing right in front of me.
You are my Mirror of Erised. You look like a fantasy, but actually you're real
Or is it the other way round?
Every time I try to get closer, your image becomes foggy.
When I reach out to touch you with my fingertips, they hit cold glass.
There you are, but you're not there, for me.
Standing right in front of me, but you don't exist.
Your laugh, your smile, the way you wear your hair, that red dress that you were wearing the last time I saw you. I can see. All of it. Very clearly. So very clearly. From a distance.
But as soon as I come any closer, my vision gets clouded.
No, I don't want to wait forever.
I can't do this alone.
Now, you have to break the mirror, and come.
Shatter the looking glass.
Step over the sharp pieces.
And walk towards me.
I'll be waiting.
P.S. - Close references have been made to 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' by J.K.Rowling and of course, the song Signal Fire by my favourite band, Snow Patrol.

True Love

It didn't start with a ''Once upon a time...''. It's not going to end with a ''...and they lived happily ever after''. I don't know what true love is. But I do know, of that time when you had organized and pulled off your first national level debate, and the contestants were on the stage, and the judges in the front row, and your family in the crowded hall, you, in a sari, leaped from the stage to hug me, as I stood in the aisle. And there was that time when we were sitting in silence in the cafe, and, without saying anything to me, you reached over the table and took my half-used sugar sachet and poured it over your own coffee. You stay up till 4.00 a.m., studying, long after I've gone to sleep. You're tired, and you have college tomorrow. But without being asked, or told, you take out the suit I have to wear at tomorrow's presentation and iron it. And before switching off the lights you murmur "Sweet dreams......

This is for Lia and her family

Four years ago, I was very lucky to make friends with Talia. Talia lives in California, and no, we haven't actually ever met, but that hasn't stopped us from becoming very good friends. I was in my mid-teens and she had just taken up a job at a model photography studio, while continuing with her studies. Anyway, our shared passion for football, and one one footballer in particular, is the reason we met when we both joined the online community/blog zidanefans on livejournal. Over the years, I became good friends with not just Lia, but most of the other lovely ladies on 'Made in Marseille', including Marion, Arti, Sandra, Luise and Claire to just name a few. I was the youngest of the lot, and needless to say they adored me and my charming disposition. Lia in particular, was always very supportive and my seemingly wild, youthful ways about the community. A few days ago, Lia stopped visiting the website. And that's never happened before, and I missed her a lot.We wer...

In the void of space, across time

For Neeti In the brightness of day You found me, you found me; Reflecting your own light, You were sitting there. In the darkness of night I found you, I found you. I borrowed your light To light up myself. In the shadow of eclipse You hid me, you hid me. Little did I know You were trying to protect. In the void of space Across time, across time, I saw in you A reflection of mine.
