The Heart Speaks

  That undying thirst,though I had quenched it for a while; Why live with little? When there's more out there. How many more steps do I need to take?, 'One more mile' said an old rock,a milestone you know; 'That bigger view awaits.' He said. Why climb so far?While you watch them fly. Pieces of me wanted a whole, and the footsteps,a trail to be left behind; I'm drained. 'Just one more mile... you brave, To fetch your moon, You burn a little in their sun; You ain't gonna stop here, That peak is meant for you; How high? Don't bother, Climb the hill, not to get through that last mile; But may be thousands ahead',said the old one who stood in my way. But,why thousands more? I wondered, 'The moon has countless lovers,my child' he said. How do you know? 'It's been just thousands of years and could be a thousand more ',said he with a smile; That meant ,'One more mile'.                 ...

The very first time I saw you,  I knew we had some connection, The sparkle in your eyes kept me drawing towards you, Definitely, it was never meant to be just an infatuation. We kept bumping into each other, Maybe that was the will of the time, Or some conspiracy of the stars, But, I am glad we crossed paths. We just kept mum, afraid of the consequences, Love was deep but not strong enough to break the wall of silence we shared, We never let the feelings take over, As we thought we were never meant to be that way. Now, as I sit with this romantic novel in my hands, I just think how foolish I had been, Could not admit my feelings for you, I just realised,out of fear,I had nipped that love in the bud before it could bloom.                                   -Surabhi S H

In the world we live in today, None can predict how will someone turn out be the next day. Fairytales give children hopes of beautiful lives, But,the truth is there ain't one in reality to witness or live. We are paved ways to happiness and prosperity through careers, It's a rat race as they say,we are in, Same destiny,multiple ways... But,the truth is there ain't a career that could buy happiness unless it had your passion fuelling it. Humans we are,harrowing each other!Aren't we? some in the name of religion;while some in the name of money, We are none to destroy the serenity of this world, But,the truth is we try to claim something that we owe the rest every time! We talk about humanity,coexistence and interdependence; W here are the actions?just rotten minds chasing ascendance ;  This planet,our dwelling is a big home with billions of lives, But,the truth is most of us do not know that we are mere 'tenants', Someday we have to leave...remember,the reason sha...

Tonight, I stare at the starry sky, Lit with bright and twinkling stars too high, The angels sing lullaby for me to sleep, While the demons are at war,waiting for me to weep. Tonight, I stare at the starry sky, The heaven seems too peaceful, While the hell is full of terror, I lack the sense of choice tonight, Whom will I choose to be? An angel or a demon... Tonight I stare at the starry sky, What do I do? Conceal the truth or reveal the lie? The angels tempt me to be a blessing, While the demons to be a curse. But soon,the starry sky disappears; And the sun lit morn arises.. Now,I think what if such nights were to last forever?                                                       - SURABHI HATTURE

Not every star in the sky shines bright, But the truth is they do exist at night. Not every drop of rain falls on the ground, Yet we feel when found in the ocean they might get us drowned. Not every tree on this planet bears fruit or is green, Yet thousands of them grow just to tell you how kind you have been. Not every human who exists cares or loves, But,we still believe that humanity exists. Not every friend turns out to be a foe, But,we still say 'Friends just come and go'. Not every view is valued in the world of billions, But,we still believe that we exist and our presence is felt. Not everything that we see turns out to be the truth, But,we still perceive it to be. Everything remains until it exists,but not everything  matters in the world of mortals.                                                                 ...

                                     Never know why my head was down, Not even a smile only a frown, Counting the steps I took, and kicking the pebbles, Wishing my life, to be just like those in fables. Something had put me down for a while, To bear all that, I was too weak and fragile, Oh! Save me from these dreadful thoughts, Mugging up deep into my brain in lots and lots…… The day shall go and the night must be in, For me so that I could get to know my sin, If I think about what all had happened today, I hope so that I’m not at fault! Tears pour down from the core of my eyes, I’m feeling as if I have crushed down all my bonds and ties, Oh! God I seek your forgiveness…Will you forgive me? And if you do so, I promise to be the way you want me to be!                                   -Surab...

I want everything, in this world that’s great, I don’t know whether it has been written in my fate! Oh! What a lovely picturesque all around, I want to see every creature that’s found…. The beautiful birds chirping on the trees, Oh! How cool is this breeze! I want to listen to every sound of this nature, Dear God, you are the best creator! When the summer is up…….during the hot days, ‘Lovely mangoes, Ripened mangoes’ Is what the fruit vendor says! I want to taste every delicious thing on this earth, right now here…. In the garden and the woods, There are flowers that convince many moods.. What a beautiful fragrance they bear! I want to sense every pleasing essence, And know more about their presence. I love the day, with rain, when in my heart there is no pain! I want to feel all that touches my heart, I don’t know whether it has been written in my fate or not!                            ...

I have always longed for the beautiful soul that dwells in you, I have always asked my life to give me some sunshine like you; to live. By God’ grace, I found my fellow star that stays beside me; On the planet, where like you, people find it rare to be. You exist within me, deep inside my soul; I have chosen myself and you to be respectively a fruit and a bole. I would always exist with the trust within, that you will always hold me if I fall at times; Against the gravity….. I never want to fall on a Newton’s kinda head, So be my bole forever, let’s not repeat the theory of gravity again! Let’s grow together forever…                                         -  Surabhi Hatture

Why did we meet each other? I don’t know how…I will deal with this further…. You came like an angel and made my heart your dwelling, I opened the doors of my heart everyday just to feel your presence dear! Neither I nor you knew that we had to part our ways some day, On the cushion of your dreams I always lay, My every tear bears your pain, My every cheer celebrates your gain! I fought with you when I felt you were wrong, I gave the tune to your every romantic song, I burnt your thoughts to ashes when a sense of jealously raised your nose, I stood beside you in your every pout and pose! We weren’t besties, but then too, The truest friend for me were you, I start my every single day for something new to live, Until my last breath praying for you is all what I shall do. You mistook me and my words, That’s the reason for what we turned into featherless birds, Yet you are the among the few, whom I trust, Then, now and always you are my lustre…….!      ...

  Dad, I thank you for all your love and kindness, I thank you for giving me all the happiness, You have done a lot just for me, For all your care I thank thee! Your each word has been so valuable for me, Whatever I’m, it’s all because of thee… I miss you Dad as you made my life more enliven, I feel so blessed to have had a father like thee! Unfortunately, God has taken you away from me, I had never even imagined my life without thee … Though you aren’t with me today, I can still feel your presence here in my heart… I am on a mission to fulfill your dreams, And make you feel proud of your this little girl, I love you Dad and I will always love you…… You shall dwell in my heart forever……………!                              -SURABHI HATTURE

In the wild there she blossoms,  Often called the darling of nature; Red,Pink,Yellow,White all with sweet nectar, Oh!Indeed she looks beautiful and awesome. She blooms in a gentle manner, With her smooth and lovely petals; Oh,what an enchanting fragrance she spreads!, She leaves us just dazzled. She looks so pretty in the drizzling water, And the way she dances in the droplets; Though her thorns prick us at times,it doesn't matter, For the happiness,she spreads. Dear Rose,you are the sweetest of all, No matter how big or small. You enhance the nature's beauty,  After all you are nature's cutie!                                  -Surabhi Hatture 

Seeking for a shelter in the city, For them to offer a job,no one feels pity; Making tools of iron here in Bijapur is what they do, When they earn enough, to another city they are ready to move. Living beside the crowded roads, On their shoulders they carry those heavy metal loads; Their children sometimes starve,as they don't get enough food, They keep on asking God to give them a life which is good. Each one seeks a happy life to live, I ask God,for contended lives for those poor gypsies to live. Worry not,my dear gypsies of Bijapur, For God shall bless thee.                                 -Surabhi Hatture 

I just love to smile at every creature, For I'm a part of this lovely nature.  My smile makes my day more enliven, For me it's a gift from God that he has given. I love to smile at the rising sun, You see,it's some sort of fun; I love to smile at the charming moon, I know he too loves my smile, I shall keep smiling no matter what,  As I was born with this boon.                                       -Surabhi Hatture
