The Walk


The lake was calm that night
But tremors jolted the heart
The boats lay peaceful
But the mind was at strife
Moon gleamed on the waters
Glistening it beyond glory
The birds slept safely in nest
The emotions churned in frenzy
Thoughts kept grappling
Unnerving the hapless self
Disgruntled yearnings still vex the spirit
‘The Walk’ shall be sauntered sometime…

Forever


Gentle and warm, Sealed with care
Sweet and kind, Will ever share
Descending from clouds, Dispelling fear
Showering fondness, Forever here…

Vivacious Trepidations

Ever experienced fear when the dream you have been dreaming of for years is about to be realized? You wish you could buy a Mercedes and then one day when you can you suddenly get scared of owning it. Or you dream of that coveted position in your organization and when you are about to be promoted you can goose bumps. Reality can be quite hard hitting at times especially when we have been waiting for it to happen. We are surprised not because it was unexpected but because we wanted it to happen and it did. Many times good things happen with us. But we utterly fail to accept them. We realize them happening somewhere deep inside us but we hesitate to accept them, both publicly and personally. We keep evading the issue. But life, as stubborn as it is, keeps showing us the mirror again and again till we accept that the charming image is infact ours. That the person sporting the magnetic grin is no one else but us. We are likened to an Onion. Peels after peels give us a personality. Problem is the inner most peel even amazes us at times. The marble wonder that we encounter after peeling takes us off guard.
Old and Haggard Past, often than not, overshadows our pliable present and tensile future. We keep fearing that the happenings of the past may boomerang at us again and this time with greater force. We develop trust issues. Trust, which is akin to an eraser, gets shorter with every breach. We fail to keep our faith in people that we meet.
Many times good things happen to us despite our strongest opposition. They happen without our even wanting them to happen. We fear this, fear that we will be happy. The very thought of being in state of happiness make us go nervous. We start doubting how we can be happy. We meet people accidently. Meet them without even the slightest inclination not knowing how gargantuan impact they will leave on us. With time we realize that no matter what happens they will always be around. Always be there to pester us with their chidings. This is faith in its highest form. The Faith of the unknown controlling us to remain in state of bliss. Some call them coincidences. If it is meant to be, it will be!
We forcibly revert to Decision making. We decide what will be done by us, who will share my life with me, my joys and my tears, my hopes and my fears, my doubts and my beliefs. This kind of decision making is not justified because so much is happening behind the scenes. We are not even fully aware of the script. All our life we keep collecting and hoarding. Things, relations, people, emotions…True happiness lies in giving it all. In sharing them and not stashing them. Love without possessing, feel without fearing, accept without guilt, laugh without inhibition and cry without holding it all back. The feeling of releasing it all to the Universe is simply splendid. The lesson is to never give up on things that make you smile and make the world smile with you.

Ever thought why?


Ever thought why?
Leaf falls off  the twig of tree
Rain drops desert the fleeting cloud
Stars bid adieu to morning sky
Breeze abandons the rooted hill
Ever thought why?
Streams decamp the known shores
Flamingos migrate to newer lands
Buds forsake their innocence
Larvae defect the safe cocoon
Ever thought why?
Your own thoughts revolt you
Salty tears relinquish heavy eyes
Painful sobs scram an ailing heart
Silence defeats the loudest cry
Ever thought why?

Manacle


The doubts that I heard at play                           
Suddenly begin to vanish away
Sun beams from eastern window
Darkness now seems so hollow
In thoughts impish brooks flow
Impeccant heart wants to glow
As the leaves are to forest
And tender birds to the nest
So is your presence prime
Like pristine lamp in shrine
Fathoming it all is profusely futile
Its breath that goes away for a while…

Coincidence


Two Pink Lilies blossoming on the same morning, coincidence
Two Blue Birds flapping wings on the same branch, coincidence
Two meandering rivers converging on the beautiful sea, coincidence
Two frenzied storms smacking past to mellow each other, coincidence?
Lost Traveler brushing past its wishing star in the desert , coincidence?
Puerile Dreamer witnessing its dream with open eyes, coincidence?

You


Eyes exuding aroma of the shores
Tempt to delve deeper into pores
Smile remitting waves in the soul
Makes my world become whole
Voice transmits more than just said
Like pristine droplet on the coral Red….

They


Sometimes we wonder what wealth they brought
No diamonds no gold no silver has been caught
Yet when we lie in pensive mood
In times of leisurely solitude
They fill our heart with zest and delight
As the Moon brightens the lonely night…

Blessed


Blessed is the black Crow who doesn't want plumage like Peacock
Happy is the heavy Elephant who doesn't aspire to be slim like Giraffe
Fortunate is the cool Breeze who doesn't crave to emulate blazing Fire
Serene is the static Tree that doesn't seek to be teeming Stream
Rosy is inept Me who doesn't yearn to be wise You…………….

Me


Lost self without my permission
Wisdom vanished without my submission
Led astray through another’s plan
Like water bridled by mighty dam
Sadness disappeared like dew in Sun
Innocent Smiles all gifted in tonne
Thoughts obscured like cloud over moon
Heart ripped away all too soon………
