The 5.30 Evening Bus...

This was composed about a couple of years back.. wish I remembered the date...

There he is,
The charming guy in my bus,
Who inspires many girls
To leave early, the office campus!!

The traffic that we have on the way,
Is only beautiful with him around,
This I hear being said,
By many girls of my bus!

Thinking of all this, smiling about it,
I fall asleep, as the fatigue catches up,
But God never forgets to wake us up,
Rightly at his bus-stop!

This goes on for a while till we
Realize he’s now accompanied
By a girl to the bus,
Causing envy to many of us

One among us, adventurous enough,
Sits in the next seat to his,
Wanting to look at the id,
To know the surname of the girl!!

Smiling, as she looks at us,
We wonder, what she’ll tell us
She says, “she’s Mrs. Handsome”
And we all smile, saying “like we care”

Puzzled as she is, looking at us,
I wink an eye at her,
Showing her, our new Mr. Handsome
Sitting in the seat right behind us!!!

O Merciful!!

As I hear about people speaking on Love,
Sense of disability do I feel...
I want to feel the Love,
The passion, for you my Lord,
The intensity in which people seem to be drowned in,
I want o feel that for you.

Help me, O Lord, O Merciful,
Help me feel all these for You!!

I feel jealous, when I hear them talk about Love
I feel helpless...
Why do I not feel that for you my Lord,
What am I lacking that insulates me from feeling It?
Why is thy Grace not upon me?

Help me, O Lord, O Merciful,
Help me feel all these for You!!

I want to feel the same passion,
As they have their lovers...
Why o Lord, why do I not feel the same?
Help me in loving you more and more, Lord...


Help me, O Lord, O Merciful,
Help me feel all these for You!!

I want to feel the Saranagati,
That lovers have, without their knowledge...
I want to have that feeling
Wherein they think of their Lover,
Without their knowledge
I want to say you, as they do to their lovers,
"I miss You"

Help me, O Lord, O Merciful,
Help me feel all these for You!!

Do not overlook my faults my Lord,
Punish me, get angry with me!!
I will then comfort you, soothe you,
Like they would do, for their lovers...

Help me, O Lord, O Merciful,
Help me feel all these for You!!

I want to see you wherever I go,
I want to hear Thy voice in everything I hear,
I want to feel you in everything I touch,
I want to feel your Omnipresence, like they do...

Help me, O Lord, O Merciful,
Help me feel all these for You!!

I know I am incapable of even expressing
Everything I feel, my dearest Lord,
Maybe you are, trying to give in all these to me...
The incapable that I am, to even receive these,
Help me, O Lord, O Merciful,
Help me feel to mean what I say,
"Tvameva Sarvam Mama Deva Deva"!!!
