Because you are worth it

I regret the times,
I willingly gave in to rejection
when an acceptance was eagerly waiting for my Yes.
So, I have chosen to be impulsive and let my experiences guide me,
as I open myself to endless possibilities of life.

I want to leave a laughter filled memory in that corner of the room, which you keep staring while looking for answers. So, next time when you hopelessly stare at it, you know fun and laughter awaits Your glance.

I want to leave an enchanting experience at your favorite to-go spot in city; where you escape to something bigger than Yourself. So, next time you visit it, you know magic seeks You.

I want to pamper you on your favorite piece of furniture, where you break loose after a long tiring day. So, next time you are tired, you know comfort awaits Your escape.

I want to make sure you are doing well by frequently checking you, when you feel less than yourself. So, next time you feel alone,  you know I always seek Your company.

I want to make a lively travel experience with you, kissing and caressing you at every stop sign, and singing at least one song in the most audible volume. So, next time you are on a long journey, our memories will drift you away.

I want to see the amused sparkle in your eyes when you find your favorite breakfast on table. So, you know every morning awaits something good.

I want to let you keep your shabby look or the unflattering clothing, which brings you a sense of comfort. So, you know your unpolished looks are as acceptable as your polished looks.

I want to cherish my living with you by making most mundane tasks of daily living an array of fun loving possibilities.

Well, these might be my wants. But, its my utmost need to let you know about them.
For,  You are worth all of that I am and what I will be!

Obsession

You wear an obsession scent
And, I am so obsessed with You.
Truly, I can never have enough of You.
So, I am going to love you, with or without you loving me back.
Today, I release you from my expectations to love me back.

For, its no longer about math, but more of chemistry.
Not that I do not have faith or hope in you.
But, I am tired of being victim of my own feelings.
So, I am not going pretend hiding those feelings.
As they have chosen to find home in You.
Today, I proudly claim to have those lovely feelings for You- wearing heart on sleeves they say!

I would like you acknowledge these lovely feelings that I have for you, but they have been ignored so far.
Dictionary tells me that:

verb: ignore

•  refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally
• fail to consider (something significant)

Words have been my friends. Your negligence has liberated me to create my lovely world with You.  One sided love- they say!

Vayro

O Vyara,

Kehvay che ke Sangat ni asar lagta vaar nathi lagti,
Shu malyo che mara vahlam tu aaj-kal ma?
Tari ada mane aje judi chata janeli lage che.
Thodi thodi thandi
ne thodi thodi uni.
dittu mara vhalam na natkhat mijaj jevi lage che.

Haji kal nij vaat karu,
Tara thanda-thanda sparsh thi
mara chanchal mann ne shant kari gayo.
Thando shwas lidhoj hato
ke aje chedti karva avi gayo

sarad sarad gati thi uno-uno bheti gayo.
Shu malyo che mara vahlam tu aaj kal ma?
Tari ada mane aje judi chata janeli lage che,
Thodi thodi thandi
ne thodi thodi uni.

dittu mara vhalam na natkhat mijaj jevi lage che.

Nathi shanti thi jhapva deto,
nathi jhadpi leva deto.

Pun sachu kahu toh mari aa haar ma apdo prem jeeti jai che
eni khushi che.
Tari ada mane aje judi chata janeli lage che.
Thodi thodi thandi,
ne thodi thodi uni.

dittu mara vhalam na natkhat mijaj jevi lage che.

Risamna

Tu risai jai che

Tu ghadik shan hruday na dhabkara vadhi jai che

Vichari kem kari tane manavish

Kem kari tara kumda mann ne na samji shakyi

Pun eej ris mane keh che ke hoon tane ketli vahali chu

Kem ke risai toh tyarej jai ne jyare apane evu lage ke "hoon tari jagya par hot toh avu na karat"

Have kem kari tane kahu, 

Ee aatmiyata bhareli tari ris joi hoon garv thi malkai uthu chu.

Etlej tu mane risayelo hov chu toh vadhu vahalo lage che

Ati Sundar

How do i look? she asked

You look good. But, I know what looks very good on you : He said

What is that? she asked

Hugging her, I look very good on you: He said

She blushed. 

Kissing her blushed cheeks, He said: That's the best look on You.

Teri meri baatein

Are mujhe jana hain, chal bye/alvida bol de 

Main toh nahin chahti ki aap jao

phir jabardasti kyu bye/alvida kahu?

Aur bolna toh tabhi chaiye jab mann ho ya bolne se dil ko achaa lage,

phir jabardasti kyu bye/alvida kahu?

Tumhe humse Shiqayat yehi rahi hamesha

Ke mera mann kabhi nahin bharega

Gila yehi hain ise humesha meri zidd samaj baithe Tum

Bus thodi jasbaati hain Hum

Par na jaana tumhne woh meri tadap hi 

hain jo pyaar karne se nahin thakti

phir jabardasti kyu bye/alvida kahu? 

Jane walo ko bye kehne ko milta

Toh shayad woh bhi kehte aabhi maan nahin bhaara 

Aur ek taraf humein jeene ko mila hain

Toh na chahte hue bhi bye keh dete hain.

Jana toh sabko hain ek din

Kuch der ther ke jee bhi toh loon,

Mann bhar ke jiye bin,

phir jabardasti kyu bye/alvida kahu?

Goals of Lifetime

She declared: Let's, have some relationship goals.
He asked: What do you have in mind, my Dear?
She exclaimed: Kissing endlessly;
For, I can never get enough of you.
He smirked: You know, behind every successful man is, one needy woman.
She profusely blessed: May you succeed!!! ️️️
As your wife, in your success lies my higher good.
Leaning towards her, He remarked: I can see that, Quite literally in this case .
Forever, took a new meaning that day for both.

3rd Decade For-Giving

I am given life experiences, belongings, relations to cherish my living.
As much as living is my right, its my duty to give.
To those who seek joy, i give cheer,
To those who seek understanding, i give ear,
To those who seek healing, i give hand,
To those who seek encouragement, i give words,
to those who seek love, i give heart,
When my mind, body, heart or words fail to suffice -I give forgiveness.
After-all, I am given life to give.

May your Living be about giving to someone.
But, first let that someone be You- Is my Wish for You today!

Cheers,
~Live2cherish

Excerpt:

halke halke, pardon mein,
muskurana achcha lagta hai
roshni jo deta ho to
dil jalana achcha lagta hai
ek pal sahi, umr bhar use
saath rakhta angira..
zindagi se phir ek vaada maine kar liya re..

Long Drive Pe Jayenge...

He said: Let's go for a long drive
She said: Being confined in car space is not my thing
Reluctantly they geared on road
As they stopped at red traffic light, he landed a peck on her cheeks;
Soon the miles swept by, the red lights came by and so did the pecks.
She never looked at long drives the same way anymore.
Simplicity and caring can never be bygone.
Belonging replaced longing during the drive.
As the just married tag swayed behind their car.

Love You Zindagi

You know dear,
I barely ask you: How are you?
For i perceive you in ways more than i can find adjectives.
There is a unique way I feel loved by You.
When i step out into a vast blue sky,
when a radiant sun peeps through bushes,
when a cold breeze kisses my cheeks,
when a sudden gush of wind snuggles me,
when twilight colors mesmerizes me,
when the car trail lights bewilders me,
when the perfect round moon beams at me,
when stars twinkle at me.

My spirit finds its tranquility just by watching you, feeling you, and appreciating your beauty in various forms.
It's that moment of feeling better about myself-If not love, what would it be?
Hence, I say Love You Zindagi.

Teri Laadki Mein, chodungi na tera haath!

દીકરી ની વિદાય 

છું હૂં  મારા પપ્પાની લાડલી 

પણ છું હૂં મમ્મી તારી ઢીંગલી, ઢીંગલી.

આજે શણગારતા મુજને 

તારી હથેળી ધ્રૂજે, 

અરે જો જો ખિલી છે
કેવી તારી કળી, કળી.

વિસ્મય થી નિહારે આંખો તારી,  

પણ છું હૂં મમ્મી છબી તારી, તારી.

I might be my dad's princess,
But I am your doll, Mummy.
Today, your hands shivered while dressing me up.
O dear mummy, look how your budding has grown up.
Your eyes look at me with amuse,
But i am just a shadow of you.

પા પા કરતી પપ્પા ની આ લાડલી 

ચાલી છે કુમ-કુમના પગલા ભરવા

પલક ના ઝબકારા માં

ક્યારે મોટી થઇ ને

ક્યારે પારકી થઇ ગઈ.

હજી કાલની તો વાત હતી

ખજૂર કોપરા કરવા જિદ્દ કરતી

નિશાળે મુકવા જતા ધ્રુસકે રડી પડતી

પપ્પા તમે મને છોડી કેમ જાવ છો :પૂછતી

આજે ડોલી માં સવાર થઇ ગઈ

કાલ સુધી ઘર ઘર રમતી

આજે ઘર વસાવી રહી છે.

The teeny tiny step taking toddler
Is now stepping into household.
With a blink of eye,
the years of her youth have passed by.
It was just yesterday,
when she pleaded not be left alone at school,
and when she wanted me to carry her on my back.
Today she gets carried in carriage.
Until yesterday she played in her dollhouse,
Today, my Doll is ready to make a house.

ઘરે થી તોહ જવ છું,  

પણ હૃદય માં કાયમ માટે ઘર કરી જવ છું. 

આજે ઘર થી દૂર જવ છું,

હૃદય માં, કાલ હતી એના કરતા વધારે નજીક આવવા.

Though I leave this house,

I am leaving behind a home 

within your hearts!
Today, i am going away from home,
to come closer in heart!  

Samay Samay nu kaam kare che, Apde aapdu kariye...

નાનું બાળક ઘર માં કીલ્કીલારિયો કરે,
ઓરડા માંથી ખીલખીલાટ હસવાનો અવાજ ગુંજે,
Full-time  બાળક ની પડ્ચાઈ બની , એની આગળ પાચલ ફરતી માં ની આસ ના સંભળાઈ ,
ત્યાં સુધી ઘર ની રોનક આછી પડે છે.

રાત રાત રોવી ને જગાડે ,
માંડ માંડ કોળિયો ખાતા થકાળે,
દોડી દોડી હંફાવે,
ને એક મીઠું સ્મીત , એક બકી,  નાના નાના હાથ વડે વળગી ને પળ ભર મા બધો થાક ઉતારી કાઢી
એનું નામ તોહ બાળક છે.

સમયના પૈડા ફરતાં વાર નથી લગતી,
આજે નાના બાળક થી હેરાન થતા માં-બાપ વિચારે છે કે ક્યારે બાળક સુઈ જાય , ખાઈ લે ને શાંત થાય,
થોડો સમય જતાં  આજ માં-બાપ વિચારે છે કે એમનું  બાળક ક્યારે  એમની સાથે ખાઈ, બેસીને  ને બે ઘડી વાત કરે.

જયારે જે મળે,
ત્યારે એમાં બે ઘડી આનંદ ની પળો શોધી,
જીવણ ને ઉજવતા શીખે
એ ખરા અર્થે માનસ કેહવાય 
કારણ કે  You Live to Cherish.
