DESTINY

You are my destiny

We are meant to stay together for infinity;

Between barriers of caste & class and so much enmity

The world has become a place of such insanity;

Where love is not tolerated and hate is spread with much intensity

Now,for staying together we have to pay a penalty;

When has loving someone become such a felony?

 

ROW YOUR BOAT

You row your boat till you see the shore

It looks deceptively near,

But trust me you have to paddle more;

Panting,stressing you make it there

Thanking the Lord with a silent player.

All this has left your heart and soul a little bare

Looking for someone who will care;

From dusk to dawn, you are waiting for someone to arrive

Your time here is passing in strife.


Having realized that there’s no one who is going to come

You decide to take the big jump;

Taking the remains of your battered boat

You try to make something which stays afloat;

Embarking on a journey with a promise of no tomorrow

I know your mind is tensed and heart full of sorrow.

Somehow going forward with all your might

You suddenly spot a spark of light;

Waving signals,shouting and some more panting

Finally,on a boat and resting.


The past few days seemed all a blur

Nights going sleepless,hearing strange noises and murmurs;

Taking you a while to recover from what was your dream journey

Thanking people who saved you and gave you another day bright and sunny.

Remember the lessons which you’ve received

Life is not all what you perceived;

It can sometimes get upside down

But with good people around,

You’ll surely be able to make a touch down.

MASK

Why are you hiding behind a mask?

Is showing your real self such a mammoth task?

Are you afraid of the judgements that will follow?

Or are you wondering about unleashing

the demons leaving you empty and hollow?

SILENCE

Silence is calling me to places

which I otherwise,would never ever see;

At first, I liked it

because I was left to be;

But,now I can’t wait to unleash myself

like the waves of a bright blue sea.

 

SPRING

Flowers seem to be blooming

Memories still looming;

The days might be sunny and breezy

But this season of my life is anything but easy;

Like the fresh start spring brings by

Even I want my life to be as smooth as a lullaby;

I hope you are listening spring

And not lost in the sweet song that the birds sing;

I beckon you to show me the right direction

Leave it on you for my resurrection.

 

ROOTS

Fame and success is all you want in your prime

Even if you have to double your grind;

Now, that you are living your dream

Don’t you dare forget your roots

Who developed your charming attributes. 

COMPANION

You are the one that amazes me

Sits in silence but chases me; 

If I wander too far

You’ll bring me back;

This time not in silence

But,by playing my favourite soundtrack. 

SHE

She is nurturing and caring

But, if need be,she can be daring;

She has a lovely warm embrace

Sometimes feisty, other times delicate as lace;

In difficult situations,she displays all her might

Graceful and poised in her journey of life is a lovely sight;

Overflowing with affection and compassion for all

In the face of injustice,she stands tall;

Thanking the Lord for putting her on this Earth

For she brings nothing,but love and mirth.

Happy Women’s Day to all you lovely women.Remember you are special and unique in your own way…….so celebrate yourselves not just today,but everyday.And to all the men out there,celebrate with all the wonderful women in your life and tell them how lucky you are to have them in your life.Cheers!!

GIFT

The best gift I ever received

was your heart;

But deep inside

you were torn apart.

I thought we were

meant to be;

But the lock to your heart

had another key.
