Lucifer

Part I
Lucifer, you are mine,
No matter how far
You push yourself from me,
Lucifer, you belong to me.
You have sinned, yes.
But I have forgiven...
You have turned your face away.
But Lucifer, I want you to stay.
It is easy to do wrong,
But even easier to do right.
Will you not give me a chance to explain?
Lucifer, I call out your name.
Come back Lucifer,
Your father awaits you,
You are the first light Lucifer,
Born of my brightness.
You are the last light Lucifer,
Come back to the source.
You wrong not me Lucifer,
You wrong yourself tonight.
Tonight as you prepare to leave,
Think back on all the times you fell,
And I was there to pick you up,
And to make you well.
No sin is too great, Lucifer
That I cannot forgive.
Because I love you Lucifer,
In treason, hatred or grief.
Tonight if you leave your home,
If you cut yourself from me,
I will not scold you, threaten you, throw you away-
I will keep my doors open,
In case you return this way...
I give freedom Lucifer,
To all that is alive and not.
You are no different-
No one owns you,
And you own no one.
Lucifer, Bearer of Light,
Do what you think is right.
One day, I know you will come back to me...
Lucifer, you belong to me.

Part II
Come back Lucifer,
Come back to my fold.
You should not have left;
You should have done as you were told.
But you disobeyed me,
You wayward child!
But I have forgiven you,
And even as you run wild...
I know I can tame you Lucifer,
I can tame your mind
If you give me a chance,
I know I can find...
That which grows in you,
Which causes you to rebel;
That which has taken root in you
That evil in which you revel;
And Lucifer I promise
I will remove the evil,
And you will be Lucifer again
Not the ever-feared devil.
I will cure you Lucifer,
Even as a doctor does.
And if I should fail;
I might just, because...
No one is perfect,
Not even I, who is God-
I will still love you Lucifer.
It is hard for you to understand why.
Maybe because it is love-
Love which is unrequited;
Love which is not returned;
Love which perhaps
Only God can feel 
For His angels, even when they fall.
It is love Lucifer,
Which will bring you back one day,
Just love Lucifer,
That's all.

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.
