Bro n Me


Shells of Love, rocks of Hatred
Quarrels and fights- physical or verbal
This is what my mind turns to
On my Bro's birthday I end up being jovial

Oh me! a toddler since
Recall moments of my eyes being flooded
With tears caused by
Bro's mere intentions of me getting hassled

Moving ahead to my next stage
Amassing physical strength was of importance
'coz it was a matter of survival
With both me n bro not considering defeat's acceptance

Boys, sports, movies, comics
I was one amidst them
Bro's fanaticism, contagious as it was
i was definitely not to blame

Whilst all my days at home with me n bro side by side
"Storms" came, went- only to be overshadowed by moments of breezy tide

The more our duel earned fame, the more our love grew
That he was the "one man I had to idealise"- I finally knew

Then came separation as part of life's parcel
But hardly did it matter as our bonding was eternal.

I missed him many times though
Like lovers do, n so do mothers
Yet mine was different
'Coz i had the greatest of all the brothers!!

His gifts, his advice both came in abundance
But never does he flower his love for me with exuberance

Yet underneath hidden feelings n unexpressed emotions
His disguised countenance is what in my mind I portray
And that is why I want you to realise
Bro I got the "greatest gift" on your birthday!!

Here's your sister, your protege
Pray all the love and happiness for you on your birthday!!!
