PASSING THOUGHTS

Once again now another year will end
Present like past memories will blend
Again few thought will bend to know
To seek what future will comprehend

Losses to mourn and gains to cherish
In these calculations time will spend
Of all the reminiscent of gone by era
Some are perfect and some to amend

Agony and pain, happiness and bliss
The mind they fasten and apprehend
But trying to get rid of their custody
Often in the end, the efforts suspend

Nothing too bad or nothing too good
All must be accepted without offend
Even if victory appears beyond reach
On your will the triumph will depend

Forget not the past, don’t even ignore
For thro’ it, the future will transcend
Help you escalate ahead in your life
And from misfortunes it will defend

By an end, a new beginning is carved
Beyond death, a new life will ascend
In each one both good and evil exists
Rinsing your soul live as a reverend

And don’t flee with fear of obscurity
As not all thrive, unless they intend
For not all leave the mark upon time
But when they do, become a legend

FLOWERS

Sometimes I am lost in the imagination
Along divine attraction and fascination

Decorating around with vibrant colours
In autumn, spring, winter and summers

Blooming and blossoming all through
Gently the beauty of world will accrue

Vibrant image of the stunning flowers
Soothing within even in the wee hours

For looking over magnolia and acacia
Almost loses into the wishful amnesia

Again the sight of begonia and zinnia
Interpret slowly in a celestial insignia

Viewing the lilies and the buttercups
With unquenched thirst and hiccups

Even seeing tulips and the daffodils
Budding around mountains and hills

Glancing at the dahlias and bluebells
About the divine art speaks and tells

Smell of the hibiscus and the jasmine
Soothes through the deep soul within

Then it is daisy and chrysanthemum
Creating again a picturesque rhythm

And never to miss the lotus and rose
On them are many poems and prose

Their silent splendors and fragrance
Smears and portrays heart and sense

But again they shouldn’t be plucked
And in bouquets must not be tucked

Let them live in trees and the plants
With their simple desires and wants

And just as the sun, moon and stars
Similarly is the significance of flowers

SOLE ATTITUDE

Often in solitude few thought ensued
And then gently on my soul accrued

Whenever from now you’ll be alone
You can peacefully be on your own

Hence you will not have to pretend
There will be just no one to offend

And then you can always be at ease
As there’ll not be anyone to please

No one will order, no one will shout
You can now peacefully move about

Neither quarrels again nor any fight
You’ll find time to seek your insight

No hindrance, nor any disturbance
You can lose self in sheer ignorance

No job or errand will any one assign
Any time one can sit back and recline

No concerns, also no more worries
You will get rid of all the miseries

Not to be a host to welcome a guest
Nothing to like and nothing to detest

And there isn’t anything bad or rude
It will just portray a peaceful attitude

Nothing to commit, nothing to expect
This life will now be just so perfect

MESSIAH'S BIRTHDAY

This day, something happened well
Years ago, there was a divine spell

Appearance of a bizarre bright star
Even though it sparkled rather far

It professed to the three wise men
Of good news through the heaven

About a messenger who took birth
To spread peace and love on earth

So that people can understand life
Forget jealousies, envy and strife

Though by evil he was criticized
But for truth he himself sacrificed

Towards the welfare of mankind
Quite a few testaments he defined

No religion but a way he preached
Of how satisfaction to be reached

So help and heal grief and distress
That’s real message of Christmas

YOU AND ME

You and me, me and you, always one
Together, its happiness and it is fun

Below the starry sky with the moon
And even underneath the bright sun

Elevating high alongside the clouds
All the sorrows will escape and run

Distancing from the body and brain
Where peace and calm will summon

While trying to reach up to the soul
The concluding work will be done

With an exuberant divine fragrance
All the misfortune is going to shun

And where contentment will adhere
The hearts will smile a million ton

Clocks will halt, time will stand still
Finally now a fresh era has begun

Since you have entered into the life
I am living for all the good reason

Together we’ll brave all the weather
And enjoy in all climates and season

QUEST OF PEACE

Just a humble request for silence please
May be it is required to describe peace
Priceless devoid of dollars and pennies

But to some odd ones it won’t appease
To see and accept the violence to cease
As jealousy and hatred bend their knees

Peace isn’t just silence nor is it a noise
It’s one’s opinion and it is one’s voice
A blooming flower or humming of bees

And as I try to portray peace in words
I imagine it as the flying flock of birds
That rids one of the sorrow and worries

It is a feel with a touch soft and gentle
Blends with sense by fragrance subtle
Rising like waves thro’ the sea breeze

It’s a dream in eerie stillness of night
Its hope burning as distant candlelight
To unfasten joy with the faith’s keys

It is about sharing and about sacrifice
For the world its necessity and suffice
Similar to the importance of the trees

Its seems to be genuine and even fake
If its profound existence one can stake
Life and world will always be at ease

It is what is spoken of, for it they pray
But everyone forgets is at end of day
It is that my heart presumes and sees

FORGETFUL

All my efforts to remember, results in vain
As all the memories vanishes off my brain
And I’m being chastised, it is really a pain
As what’s lost thro’ mind, I just can’t gain

I really try very hard in order to memorize
I just wish my memory I could improvise
But in this regard, I have just no expertise
And then recollections escapes and flies

This confuses me, also leads me astray
In order to remember I need to find a way
Besides all effort, I also worship and pray
Hope I’ll be relieved of this habit one day

I have been robbed of my calm and peace
From the mind memory escapes and flees
And few people laugh at me or try to tease
Others find it amusing and try to appease

Each day of all my work, the notes I make
And also of all errands that I have to take
But in the middle all the schedules break
Always I fail to remember at crucial stake

And all the promise and oath that I pledge
That I swear to follow towards final edge
Along hindrances, obstruction and wedge
But facing failures amid makes me regret

Still again there is another point of view
On contrary that’s of another tint and hue
For with good, even bad memory eschew
And forgetting the sorrow, joy will ensue

It also helps us to get away with excuse
We weren’t intentional, so we can refuse
Now up to you what you want to choose
As forgetting has its own importance use

Hence remembrance and reminiscence
Even though they have their significance
Like cool sensation of eluding fragrance
I attempt to relax forgetting all the lessons

WORLD OF MY OWN

By sculpturing and crafting the world of my own
I try to lose to solitude and I choose to be alone

With the ideas, perceptions, views and emotions
Building the mountains, hills, rivers and oceans

Vivid imaginations perpetuating strange mirages
As behind false, truths and realities camouflages

Lost in my faith, belief, ideologies and devotion
Dwells within creates confusion and commotion

Often strays into woods, jungles and the forests
While seeking the destinations, the feet contests

Few relaxing moments ensued by chirping birds
And for fragrance of flowers I’m short of words

Feeling the gushing winds and flowing breezes
Due to which the tensions decreases and ceases

The sight of the stars, the sun and that of moon
Always charms me with good luck and fortune

Clouds turning to rain and forming the rainbow
On me these sights peace and blessings bestow

This is my world through which I try to live by
I’m the earth myself and for me I’m also the sky

ON REALIZATION PATH

As the time moves on, the life goes on
Slow and steady, knowledge grows on

Veil of ignorance, gradually removed
The hardships of world slowly proved
Often in obscurity, the death close on

Winds sweeping the efforts with dust
Even hardest metals collapses to rust
The stature of self, the pride mows on

Grief and misery somehow get erased
If accepted with smile, will be praised
With perseverance, strength shows on

Burden of responsibilities weigh much
The sulks and the sighs no use as such
Load’s easy when the smiles tows on

Ambitious wave breaking by the rocks
Luck escapes when misfortune knocks
Even rapidity of the triumph slows on

As incomplete conquests often haunt
And the unfulfilled desires also daunt
Yet in unsure ambiance hope glows on

The breach amidst reality and fictions
Traversing thro’ many contradictions
Quite a few thought in mind flows on

Often creating the waves of tranquility
That creates the scenario of ambiguity
But then its secrets, the soul knows on

Yet first one needs to seek it through
Comprehending that is false and true
Only if celestial blessings bestows on

But the route is boundless and infinite
And in this process there is no respite
That divinity will always compose on

LIFE TIME

An eternal lifetime submerged in moments
Without remarks or without any comments

A question unanswered, a puzzle unsolved
Seeking which all the great minds revolved
And for which even many theories evolved
Still the ultimate truth remains unresolved
Due to which the confused souls torments

From birth till death everything scheduled
The forces of luck just can not be ridiculed
By the energy that are governed and ruled
And to which all are inclined and drooled
But in vain escapades of few souls laments

In a tryst to frame the future from the past
With the successes and failures to contrast
Here fictions quite normal, truth is aghast
Wonder to the limit the soul’s going to last
Through the routes where the steps advents

To reach up to all the places that's destined
Freeing away from dungeons that confined
Also from desires and wishes that inclined
By conquering self, this life can be defined
As thro’ this the peace of soul supplements

HAPPINESS

Desired by all, yet difficult to harness
Something that leads to the calmness

Of one’s soul, heart and also of mind
But first one needs to be determined
Freeing all the wishes that’s confined
To know that the destiny has defined
Enlightening self thro’ the darkness

A life on edge with ecstasy and thrill
From depth of sea to the peak of hill
Venturing them with spirit and skill
Subduing trouble that’s rising uphill
Sensing victory by defiant madness

Along all seasons that comes in life
With a feel of ignorance at times rife
That needs be cut by a wishful knife
For gaining peace from all the strife
Winding grief to remove dampness

With astute faith rekindling all hope
For the escape there is always scope
Still determination you need to rope
To hold on and then glide the slope
To attain happiness from the sadness

THE MAGIC WORDS

Aabra ka Daabra and Gilli Gilli Choo
If only these magical words were true

Upon the winds, I would take the ride
Then with breezes I would again glide

Swim across seas, and in oceans dive
As the hidden desires will come alive

I’ll try to hang and cling to the cloud
And due to this feat I’ll feel so proud

I’ll flash as lightening, roar as thunder
Amazing everyone of all my wonder

Like falling rain, fill rivers and lakes
Drop as the dew, pour as snow flakes

From mountains and hills, I will leap
Up the sky, among the stars I’ll creep

And quietly try to reach to the moon
Take it away and even darkness soon

By pulling and bringing upon the sun
This way the life will be so much fun

Things will occur as I wish and desire
As all the super powers I will acquire

Bidding all worries and tensions adieu
By Aabra ka Daabra, Gilli Gilli Choo

BABY SITTING

Of all the pastimes and of all the leisure
This one I quite relish and even treasure

It’s a route to return to one’s childhood
An experience so nice and just so good

Being near to babies, meeting their gaze
And exciting them, imitating their ways

Trying to know of their smiles and cries
By reading the expression of their eyes

The way they move, the way they turn
Amount of attention they tend to earn

Seeing them shaking and also clapping
The grief and tensions take a swapping

Getting submerged in their flash of joy
For in their company, one always enjoy

And letting your fingers into their fists
Their grip’s almost as soft as the mists

By losing into their infinite expressions
Just can’t come out of the observations

It’s feeling the paradise being with them
Their complete craziness, total mayhem

Their noises, the giggles and the voices
The heart loves, even the soul rejoices

They are so sweet, sweetness emitting
It’s the divine pleasure of baby sitting

NOWHERE NOW

Like a locus, as a point, almost directionless
In confusion, I am standing quite motionless

Now neither the tears and nor do the smiles
In the absence of which, I’m bit emotionless

The colour of the face, shaded as pale white
Again makes the look too as expressionless

The figures of the losses and gains tumbled
And numbers aren’t whole, yet fraction less

The vanishing strength of the departing soul
Gradually turns the whole body, action less

Feelings sublime as the emotions evaporate
Even the warmth of heart turns passionless

I have tried to get rid of all my belongings
Now all that remains is almost auction less

Chances gone and the opportunities slipped
Without alternatives, I am left option less

But rough routes can’t obstruct the journey
The passage that life follows is frictionless

(HAPPY (* EID *) MUBARAK)

The narrow crescent streak light proclaims
Desirous festivities within hearts enflames
Thro’ the warmth of prolonged sustenance
With the happiness and pleasure immense
That being blessed our efforts did succeed
This is now proved with the advent of Eid

Like the dawn breaks with the light of sun
For thanksgiving and prayer they summon
As to this voice all our steps tend to abide
With prospects to sanctify heavens decide
Awaking to the truth, our conscience lead
And its time to be together to celebrate Eid

Expressing our gratitude with folded hands
With vain efforts all the devils reprimands
And from them we seek shelter and refuge
As benevolent blessing shower and deluge
For the good followers generosities exceed
And it is for them, this festival of the Eid

Without differences, everyone come close
Embracing and hugging friends and foes
While wishing for the well being of others
An occasion to learn and live like brothers
Forgetting about the castes and the creed
It is a divine opportunity during the Eid

And behold all the world watches in awe
As together we stand and together we bow
And it’s a boon to our strength and unity
As belief’s been steadfast since antiquity
Over all odd faith triumph and supersede
With a sense of realization on eve of Eid

It’s an event very simple yet magnificent
And its arrival is so splendid and eminent
Teaching equality, brotherhood and love
This fiesta’s sent from the heavens above
And to this now the whole world agreed
For it seems every one is celebrating Eid

THE POTRAIT

Taking a lengthy walk along the nature
Trying to smear within its vivid texture
In an effort to guess the various gesture
Converging ideas towards this juncture

Attempting to paint them in the canvas
With the feelings both thin and viscous
For trying to portray the magnanimous
A creation of God, gentle and sensuous

Making my hands to hold on the brush
Moving it into a fragile rhythmic rush
Sketching on which, falls all the crush
Holding the breath, heartbeat in a hush

On the paper starting with silken hair
Drawing the lines with the gentle care
Almost blowing in direction of the air
For it plays a very vital part in its flair

The pen moves again to make the face
Elegantly traversing with gentle grace
Sketching down forehead and the eyes
The picturesque inspired from sunrise

Adjoining further the cheeks and chin
Towards creating an ideal mannequin
Again about the ears and also the nose
Its softness almost similar to the rose

Illustrating again shoulders and neck
As images on the paper quietly deck
Further of the elbow, wrist and arms
Appeasing by their winsome charms

Dressing then into clothes that dazzle
Starting from shoulders till the ankle
Decorating still by pearls and jewels
To make resemblance just as angels

Again by the curves and manoeuvres
Other vivid parts also the pen covers
Proceeding on to legs ankles and feet
Quite perfect, and portrait’s complete

ROCK STANDING

Standing like the hard rock
Often at life trying to mock

With passions and emotion
Almost like wave of ocean
Attempting to hit and knock

Of which there’s ignorance
In the solitary flamboyance
As minds follows and stalk

Easy with sorrow and grief
Facing it with strong belief
Every time round the clock

Relations kept and deserted
And sentiment gets averted
These feeling seldom stalk

Even burnt of sun and rain
Doesn’t fret or gives strain
The vigor they can’t block

Along the wind and breeze
The might everyone envies
Up against plans they chalk

But in vain these efforts go
And immune to ally and foe
They can’t soothe or shock

It’s quite an inspiration too
Watching it stand through
And about its life all do talk

A NEW VOYAGE

Let us commence a new voyage
Trying that sorrows camouflage

Sailing through the heart within
Weaving joy with faith’s sequin

Wave of hardship hitting vessel
Being steadfast to prove mettle

Strongly holding on to the hull
When situation gloomy and dull

Fixing anchors in a strong way
A tough base where all plan lay

Steering smoothly with the mast
Across the seas and oceans vast

A journey close to the memory
Up against anxieties and worry

Experiencing life along the trip
As even fortunes rises and slip

Facing the storm and the tides
If trusts in self, success abides

Subtly cruising onto destination
Enlightening to true revelation

SLUMBER

When I’m in bed, I’m almost half dead
Hither and thither all the limbs spread

Sometimes I’m silent, at times I snore
The sleep of mine, I very dearly adore
For which I can even lie upon the floor
Against tensions, it’s the absolute cure
It’s a feeling almost terrific, very pure

Filled with innocence, it’s so harmless
Free of all the sorrows and happiness
Yet has calmness and peace in excess
A serenity that makes me feels lifeless
Again in its arms every being relaxes

It alleviates of the anxiety and worry
And how one falls into it is a mystery
To this statement every one will agree
Often it occurs when one feels weary
It’s priceless yet it comes almost free

I search for the opportunity to creep
On to the bed or on to it take a leap
Loosing myself into a slumber deep
Some sweet dreams I desire to keep
Finally I yearn for a good night sleep

EMOTION'S OCEAN

Thro’ ocean of emotions, rising high tides
After falling from the eyes, tenderly glides

Breaking away further into sobs and sighs
Again subliming too in the inherent skies
That brings tranquility yet at times chides

May be due to impact of sorrow and grief
Shedding of the stream, brings some relief
Even peace and calmness ensues besides

But can also erupt due to pleasure and joy
As laughter’s besieged by smile when coy
Passions travel as pleasure sails and rides

From the tributaries of the soul and heart
As one’s whole sentiments takes the part
With it again all the imaginations abides

Then the manner in which the infants cry
A way to communicate in which they try
Though then this shriek rapidly subsides

Further still, there are crocodile tears too
But then these feelings doesn’t hold true
Hope wisdom rightly judges and decides

So these tears may be of joy and sorrow
More in solitude, they chase and follow
Often the conflicting emotions coincides

NEED OF THE HOUR

By guessing upon the need of the hour
I find that its neither money nor power

In a effort to escape into the ignorance
Attempting to hide away my presence
Away from the whims and arrogance
Trying to suppress the subtle fragrance
Exhaled through the blossoming flower

Pursuing through the gardens to deserts
Counting strength, the inner will exerts
And often from ease, the desires averts
It is amazing how the insight converts
As own fortunes, it may burn and char

Again if this heat could melt the soul
One can search for the ultimate goal
But have to decide to carve out a role
Where with excitement, gleam enrol
In the sky of heart, shining like a star

And along with the moon and the sun
I think that the life would be great fun
But the time is short thus rush and run
And just don’t stop till the job is done
For if you hold on, the journey isn’t far

To ascertain direction right and wrong
You’ve to break away from the throng
Within your heart, try to feel the song
Finding the route to which you belong
Sensing blessing that’ll finally shower

COLORS OF RAINBOW

Glancing into the vibrant colors of the rainbow
Some vivid imaginations thro’ the insight flow
Along with the distant sounds in the heart echo
Traversing thro the soul making thoughts glow

While glimpsing on to the colors of the violet
Some what in its shade, even perceptions wet
Prompting to chase dreams for pleasure to get
A tryst of getting life into a perfect silhouette

Again my views fall on to the color of indigo
Creating waves just like that in the seas flow
The feels one get when the divine arcs show
Beneath it the heavens, the happiness bestow

Along with it, the sight gets to the color blue
Thro’ it diverse emotions in the hearts ensue
Getting over the false, standing with the true
The destinations of peace, the minds pursue

In the middle of the pattern is the color green
Its natural tint smears a view calm and serene
Crowning earth with the bow, into the queen
Such beauty is quite rare and almost unseen

Again when one looks at the color of yellow
It uplifts the spirits that run in waters shallow
And its brightness blushes one’s soul hallow
And in its direction, dreams chase and follow

There’s one more color and that’s this orange
As in the horizon, the view of sunset’s flange
Leaving behind in the mind feelings strange
Wishing that this revelation just never change

Finally the border is painted with color red
And in its smudge, all the sentiments spread
In its picturesque image, the thoughts tread
But its exact depiction isn’t written nor read

NO EXPLANATIONS

No explanations, nothing to testify
If there is faith then why to justify

The truth always speaks for itself
Hence no proof’s needed to verify

And this expedition is quite tough
During the way, false may crucify

Our own grief is not hard to bear
Its others sorrow, one must pacify

To err is human, but then do learn
From mistakes, then try to rectify

A realization of all committed sins
With repentance and tears to purify

Just no need to run for reputation
As by deeds thy name will glorify

Brick by brick the castles are built
Even small things in life do signify

If you make others happy and smile
You’ll find your own pains nullify

Better to lead then trying to follow
Secrets of life, one can exemplify

Easy to know without complication
This way I want my life to simplify

CASTLE OF MY DREAM

There is going to be this place down the sky
Where my thoughts and imaginations will fly

Submerging my soul with nature’s architect
A place for my shelter, I am going to erect

And also see to it that its foundation’s good
Building it with the stones, rocks and wood

Safeguarding me from the heat and the cold
A kind of place where the happiness unfold

Seeking pleasure in the chirping of the birds
Trying to convert it into language of words

Breathing fragrance of blossoming flowers
Their aroma soothing the soul in wee hours

The sun and moon, my guests will become
When one will leave, the other will come

During night, I will see the stars sparkle
Thro the ceiling over pillars of my castle

And even feel the cool gentle breeze blow
While in its rhythm the clouds will flow

And finally settling down over the dome
As that is the shape of roof of my home

Again breaking into the fog, mists and rain
Coming down and taking away all the pain

Often again a rainbow will emerge over here
With its vibrant colours my house I’ll smear

Enjoying the atmosphere from dusk till dawn
As over this place my real pleasures beckon

Such of a kind will be my perceptions regime
Wish I could rule over this castle of my dream

WANDERING WINDS

As I feel the gush of the subtle air
Blowing through the face and hair
Helping me getting out of despair
As well learning from wind’s flair

Since its voyage is quite inspiring
Moving thro barriers and aspiring
Ever continuing, even never tiring
The journey mystic and admiring

Inculcating in the desire to travel
Moving along the earth’s marvel
Assimilating the dusts and gravel
Here to there carrying like parcel

Its very gentle but may be strong
Often flowing as rhythmic song
Mostly good and seldom wrong
Near to my soul it always belong

By the sea turning into a breeze
Again trying to rustle the leaves
Also as the storms shaking trees
Even as chilly winds gets freeze

Blowing as hot winds in deserts
Freeing self forces often exerts
Its an abstract and never hurts
Within its heart lots of coverts

Its existence is like continuity
Traversing along about infinity
As the hunts lose in ambiguity
For it will be staying till infinity

RUMOUR'S HUMOUR

It travels faster than anything else
And it is terrific the way it sells

It’s what makes news in headlines
And at this place readers inclines

It’s again believed without proof
And the victim just can’t be aloof

As it chases even after the death
Can not be ignored like the breath

Mostly defames and making fun
You can’t flee, how fast you run

In a flash spreads, scatters away
Again it keeps haunting its prey

It’s strange and gets me amused
Astounds making me confused

It inflicts pain without a mark
Making the heart and soul stark

Truth submerges in false waves
And the sense to reason enslaves

Even after demise, the soul suffer
No matter if it is also tougher

This is the evil effect of rumour
Its irony and satire in the humour

COME ON COME ON

Come on now come on
It’s the time to move on

Forget loss and failures
Smear winning textures
Surging for the success
For smiles and happiness

Up against all the odds
Often destiny applauds
Endurance and patience
As its life’s real essence

Come on now come on
In order to decide upon

The directions and way
Where fortunes sway
Along strength and will
Carving through the hill

The route and passage
Evaluating the damage
Of actions and deeds
That mind supersedes

Come on now come on
From the dusk till dawn

From darkness to light
Through joy and plight
With serenity and ease
A voyage without fleece

This travel is necessary
And well the summary
Is living in the moment
Where calm is advent

Come on now come on
As destiny will beckon

In lieu of efforts made
Through life’s arcade
Sailing across the time
As memoirs sublime

Leading to happiness
While in loneliness
Thoughts break loose
And often they confuse

Come on now come on
In the heaven’s lawn

Finally here to reside
Where spirit will glide
Into eternal tranquility
Without any ambiguity

And emotions will fade
In anxieties escapade
Thro’ calm and serenity
Peace till the eternity

A NIGHT'S INSIGHT

It’s just like the darkest of the hours
Sky filled with constellation of stars
Seldom glimpses of Venus and Mars
Besides crescent or full moon sparse

As its glow streaking down the Earth
By the twilight carving its own birth
But only if it can implicate its worth
Blossoming quietly as divine flowers

Spreading its fragrance every where
Blending along with a cistern’s flare
Like a celestial wave through the air
As smokes of a solitary heart chars

Smouldering passions with emotion
Creating rather a vague commotion
Also trying to speculate the notion
Of how to remove all the past scars

Inflicted upon as journey traversed
Being blessed and also been cursed
With own spirit the wounds nursed
Obtained from the battles and wars

Thro’ nights that transform to days
Sunrise gently strikes the first rays
Trying to realize the nature’s ways
Unlocking the mind behind the bars

Of the asylum of sorrow and grief
With daybreak instigating a belief
That sunrise will bring some relief
By which I hope my soul empowers

ON THE RUN

The bending of knees, feet leaving the ground
Hurriedly surging ahead with leaps and bound

At times unaware of the destination and place
In really a strange manner continues this race
Memoirs of these often vanishes without trace
But again at times these reminiscences hound

Some one is ahead some one lagging behind
Its only victory to which each one is inclined
But then in destiny one’s success is confined
Still truth isn’t revealed and cannot be found

It’s attempt to escape or an effort to achieve
In the ultimate lap the stamina will perceive
Finally the slow and steady may also deceive
As I’ve known that winners make no sound

Across tracks gathering the dirt and the dust
Winning not important, participation’s must
Not to get stuck by result but move like gust
Of winds, as in its path peace will surround

One may return from where one had begun
One may surrender, other continues his run
Accept as it is and then you’ll know the fun
And for that just try to keep moving around

As it’s believed that deeds sculpture the fate
For good action always pays even if it’s late
Because cruel will suffer good will be great
And these lessons learned is quite profound

THE OPTIMISM

Often it is heard about existence of optimism
Sparkling as if light reflecting from the prism

Resembling hope and the faith as anticipated
Wishing that the efforts with trust aggravated
Trying that calm and peace being in centrism

Diverging the anxiety and converging belief
Own confidence will only bring about relief
And the heart and soul acting in communism

For failure and loss must not break the spirit
As the opportunities are never in the deficit
Still one has to be convinced by this truism

The sun will surely rise after the dark night
Even the clouds are rounded by sliver light
Don’t let yourself submerge into pessimism

If sorrows and happiness can be controlled
And this is possible as it has been foretold
It’s true even if this is like some mysticism

As strength, will and determination counts
With it obstructions and barrier surmounts
So just do not let yourself into the cynicism

GIVE ME A BREAK

Oh God just give me a break
Let me now loosen the stake

Upon all challenges and bets
Where belongings and assets
Writhe on me like the snake

The strength crawling away
Even all hope turning astray
As condolences proves fake

Now if only I can try to flee
And being what I wish to be
The initiatives I want to take

The peace and calm of mind
Trying to search and to find
For heart to please and slake

Free of anxiety and concern
Gladness my soul will learn
If only conscience will wake

FOREVER FRIENDS

It’s like a journey that just never ends
This I feel whenever I’m with friends

Running, following and also pursued
All grief removed as gladness issued
As thro’ this path, bad luck suspends

Even occupied in quarrels and fights
But instantly like best buddies unites
Who in bad times stands and defends

Sharing the bond of faith and of trust
With love and care from heart’s crust
As sacrifice and respect subtly blends

Playing together, winning and losing
Smiling at loss seems quite amusing
Fact of it now the mind comprehends

Hanging about in groups quite often
Now I wish, if that can again happen
Past reminiscence suddenly ascends

The bets and challenges still I recall
Sharing amid all stuffs big and small
Those lost moments still apprehends

Times change and with it everything
The pleasure the reminiscence bring
Of old pals turned to forever friends

BRAIN BY HEART

To whose voice does the soul adheres
To which all color the essence smears

Again how a personality is sculptured
And the apparel one’s character wears

Architect of feelings and imaginations
The incarnation of the smiles and tears

It is the heart or may be it is the brain
That will assess the courage and fears

Is the feel significant or is it a thought
The right answer just doesn’t appears

Even one kind of bafflement prevails
Insistently haunting from yester years

Tidal emotions fenced by conscience
With attempts to break over frontiers

An ambiguity of insight by the senses
Seen by mind which even heart hears

Often a tryst to discern the emotions
But in vain as perception never clears

Whom to listen, where pay attention
The decision is obstructed by barriers

But it’s faith, that there’ll be answers
In midst of hope, this the soul swears

Is it heart vs. brain or brain by heart
Into the obscurity the temper sneers

WHEN I AM WITH YOU

When I am with you, I am nowhere else
With exuberant passion, heart too quells

I am lost in ecstasy with vivid thoughts
Weaving my emotions in ties and knots
In turbulent attire, the conscience dwells

Redeeming the feelings within the soul
Finding myself playing the mystic role
Of a devotee who in the worship excels

These moments of togetherness ensues
The senses of one’s opinion and views
That’s subtly enchanted by magic spells

Reading through the unknown chapter
Of perceptions that I dream to capture
From the tales of fairies and the angels

Loosing myself gradually into divinity
Tantalizing my senses through infinity
Wondering how silence hears and tells

While learning the speech of the eyes
Due to which a heart smiles and cries
Intriguing always in relentless sequels

It’s just like a utopia, calm and serene
The pleasures neither heard nor seen
Now who cares for heavens and hells

THIS IS DISEASE

It is about that which is called disease
As when it appears, snatches my ease
Again my strength seems to decrease
The sense of wellness seems to cease

Along with it, eyes get red and teary
As my whole being seems too weary
The neck pains and the voice chokes
As limbs ask for massage and strokes
With a desire for this pain to appease

From within one will feel sick and ill
Having intake of the capsule and pill
With hope to recover and to get well
This yearning I can’t describe or tell
I plead for help bending on my knees

Because of this one can’t do his task
All he wants is to lie down and bask
Of remedies and cures they are told
By kind too words they’re consoled
May be somehow stress will release

At one time, can’t be taken anymore
And it makes one feel bitter and sour
Always I wish to escape this misery
So of sickness, I don’t have to worry
To gates of health, I wish I had keys

HEAVEN TO HELL

By the gates of heaven, I’ve turned to hell
As something eccentric on my heart befell

I’m now feeling desperate need of change
As the incessant good seems quite strange
I want to breathe and wish for some relief
For I really miss my pranks and mischief
And in a tryst to flee, my soul too compel

Although this paradise sought and prized
I have sacrificed and even compromised
And sustained all my cravings and desire
As I thought ultimately peace I’ll acquire
But then these efforts just couldn’t cartel

When the devil within me strives to erupt
Tranquility of my spirit seems to disrupt
And the serenity and calmness envisages
That I have restrained myself since ages
By my good, my evil prepares for a duel

The reminiscences of the gone moments
In regards to my deeds and experiments
With the misdemeanors and haughtiness
May have fetched me immense happiness
But this feeling I just can’t express or tell

The sober and silenced atmosphere here
To which I feel quite difficult to adhere
My impishness haunts me now and then
The clandestine moments as bad omen
Appears to cast on me their magic spell

Even the divinity seems shocked at this
As to why one wants to escape the bliss
I too wonder as these views come along
As over the right, why I fancy the wrong
Wish I’d know how these thoughts travel

THE POET IN ME

Seeking the accurate definition of the poet
The one who states with polished etiquette
Express without any compulsion or threat
Thro’ the epic, ode, elegy, verse or sonnet

And the words are just honey dew smooth
Written with sincerity, honesty and truth
To relax the mind and the heart to soothe
With a vocabulary as gentle as the velvet

Traversing out straight through my soul
Into which emotions and passions enroll
Cooking them carefully in a literary bowl
With keenest effort to enrich the gourmet

May be somewhere in the course of time
Thoughts will echo and words will rhyme
Into the mind the imaginations will prime
Making me feel as a colossus or a midget

Often checking my fluency of the words
Viewing perceptions hovering like birds
Through the psyche approaching towards
My memoirs which are difficult to forget

Always haunting me every now and then
Unable to check it whenever they happen
A curse or a boon I wish I could unfasten
Escape away from being destiny’s puppet

With a wish to reap from the seeds sown
For most of the journey I’ve been alone
Still few moments I wish to call my own
Enshrouding myself in a visionary casket

THE FRIDAY PRAYER

The day today is like any other and same
But as I woke up today the thought came

That today is Friday and I have to attend
By noon, to the mosque, I have to ascend
This day each and every week I’m aware
And I make sure I don’t miss the prayer
God forbid, then it will be quite a shame

On time, I dress up in the usual costume
And I don’t forget to rub on the perfume
I then wash my hands, my face and feet
All tasks performed with ample discreet
I start from my home with Allah’s name

And thro’ the route towards the mosque
I find people gather by stalls and kiosk
Then the regular call for prayer is heard
And just inside the mosque as I entered
I saw there beggars, lepers and the lame

And you’ll see people distributing alms
Further friends greeting with open arms
I take my stand with my hands folded
Before divinity heart and soul moulded
With earnest efforts my desires I tame

You’ll also hear the priest’s discourse
Asking people on their sins to remorse
As he thinks that whatever he’ll preach
The hearts of the people it must reach
By win over evil, the good must claim

For various reasons people come here
As for some there conscience adhere
Few without cause or with compulsion
And some with unknown apprehension
Some to seek peace and some for fame

Sometimes its destiny at times its fate
Due to which certain situations elate
Some are good and then some are bad
Into different souls draped and clad
It’s the providence, you cannot blame

Finally I hope that I do not confuse
In expressing my opinion and virtues
Life’s just a sport and a tournament
Just play it with cool temperament
Loss and win is the part of the game

THE SUN SHINE

The sun shines and the shadows incline
Caricatures are drawn as images define

The retrospective intuitions of the soul
In tryst to realize all that’s fair and foul
With variant colors smearing one’s soul
Enacting to the best the script and role
And sculpturing one’s own life’s design

With scorching heat bearing the burnt
Often erupting by complains and grunt
Sharpening daggers in an effort to hunt
But on the occasion it often gets blunt
As story of success the fate will define

Thro’ the horizon gently sinking down
While eclipsing itself in a global gown
Into the obscurity, as radiance drown
As passion cheers and emotions frown
Sometimes feeling as if on cloud nine

But the emergence of the ray of hope
As dawn discerns thro’ a divine slope
A saga into which day and night rope
With efforts envisaged to find a scope
Finally plunging into the eternal shrine

VENUS AND MARS

She’s from Venus, he’s from Mars
Either in love or else busy in wars

Best of friends or the worst of foes
Sometimes distant sometimes close
Joined in bunch as thorns and rose
Often inspiring me to write a prose
Blooming with fragrance of flowers

Some one’s honest, some one flirts
Feelings bring peace, even it hurts
Heart to mind, the emotions skirts
And from within the passion spurts
Raining on soul as spring showers

The feelings really tests my belief
That brings ecstasy and even grief
Tough to escape and without relief
Effects elevated but at times brief
And these may even leave its scars

On sands of time, leaving the sign
Warming nerves, chilling the spine
Love and hate at each other incline
With relations heavenly and divine
As if between, sun, moon and stars

IN MY REFERENCE

At the back of my thoughts, it often occurs
During the journey that I plan and traverse

One’s destiny and fate depends on direction
So decide about moving forward or reverse

The one who hates is the one who loves
And there is no blessing without the curse

Your belief in your will’s going to triumph
Don’t lose faith when situation gets worse

Bond of togetherness escorts to happiness
When united we stand enemies disperse

Truth is eternal and the false will perish
Don’t ignore conscience when it whispers

In order to be healed, try to feel the pain
Life isn’t worth, without hardship it suffers

Life is an act without the trials and retakes
Scenes are instant, you just can’t rehearse

First each soul is molded in the same way
Then they are draped in cultures diverse

Don’t carry the load of the loans and debts
As its here where your deeds will reimburse

Expressing my views in plain and easy way
I try to keep simple all my prose and verse

Few moments of grief, few moments of joy
According to me this is what this life refers

SELF ANALYSIS

Take the control and take the lead
Overcome desire overcome greed
By checking our actions and deed
Towards a new life let us proceed

Giving new meaning to happiness
Through a new zeal and eagerness
Finding harmony by sharing smiles
Without differing by caste or creed

On the journey to establish peace
Where all our disparity will cease
And all should have equal rights
As we all belong to the same breed

Saving the earth and environment
With effort sincere and prominent
If our existence is to be prolonged
Earnestly we’ve to check our need

Its time to innovate and renovate
Doing more than destiny and fate
Saving our lives from destruction
By listening to requests and plead

Old rituals, customs and traditions
And also quite a few superstitions
With efforts to unfold the myths
Let’s see that our souls are freed

All we seek and chase is affluence
But of success it has no assurance
By learning the virtue of sacrifice
We can make a better life indeed

CHILDREN'S PARK

The experience of the children’s park
Flashes smile creating a divine spark
Leaving on the heart its pleasant mark
With a ray of hope removes the dark

By watching kids in merry go round
Encircling the same rotating around
Some riding it and others on ground
Appearing as wonderfully profound

Up and down playing on the see saw
So much peace the children’s draw
Mixed feelings of pleasure and awe
This whole scene appears quite raw

Back and forth moving on swings
While the hand grasps it and clings
To young ones such delight it brings
As they think to fly if by the wings

Again you’ll find them on the slide
Through them they smoothly glide
The excitement here you can’t hide
To this place always I wish to abide

The little toddlers run and tumble
As their parents shout and grumble
Even thought this place is humble
Here tension and worries crumble

Assuming here to children’s ways
All the sports games and the plays
To this feeling no words or phrase
This way I return to childhood days

MY SOCIAL CONCERNS

Some of the traditions obsolete
Quite a few deep rooted albeit
Glancing at the social structure
Grieved by its present texture
Draped inside the superstition
By losing the power to reason
As I too feel at times helpless
And this I hesitatingly confess
Truly not knowing our identity
We’ve been indulged in enmity
Fighting with no reason or cause
Ignoring natures rules and laws
On basis of regions and religion
Instead of unity creating division
Constructing religious monument
With no concern for environment
Spending lavishly on the festivals
While poor in poverty struggles
Wastage of the food in restaurant
As many suffers malnourishment
One of which is the untouchables
It’s here our intellect ensembles
Supporting the evil and wrong
Making same tough and strong
None thinks of the grave issues
Or try to express the right views
One of which is child marriage
But its evil we do not envisage
Gender of the birth we decide
In the form of female foeticide
Engulfing the society in its fire
Widows’ burn in wooden pyre
Still now there is child labour
Don’t know in whose favour
Following the age old legacy
Not asserting towards literacy
The ever increasing population
For survival is a great question
Blindly cutting down the trees
In their place growing industries
Suffering by our own mistakes
Drying away of rivers and lakes
Cruelty to the animals and bird
Must be criticized in every word
Every moment polluting earth
Almost forgetting its real worth
Finally here my belief I’ve hurled
It’s high time to assess anomalies
And trying to correct our follies
Aspiring for unity and equality
Let work towards a better society

BE LEAF

I wish I could live like a leaf
Without happiness or grief

With my presence everywhere
Being utilized to purify the air
Making it suitable for breath
But not expecting any wreath
I’ve this quality since my birth
Being influenced by the earth
By a sense of selfless sacrifice
I wish all my efforts to rise
Towards nature to bring relief

I wish to help to quench thirst
Storing drops as clouds burst
Like the pearls on my surface
Shimmering to the light’s rays
Accumulating water beneath
So that ground doesn’t seethe
I just wish to have some worth
So as to help avoid the dearth
And live as hermit not as thief

I am the lifeline of the tree
But I don’t voice the decree
I prefer to be quiet and humble
Only making the gentle rustle
To gushing winds and breeze
En route peace I have the keys
Living life in a simple way
And not a descriptive essay
But by trying to keep it brief


I try adjusting with the thorns
Without complains or scorns
Being with the flower and bud
I’ve to finally fall to the mud
But every moment I rejoice
As my feelings I try to voice
Living the way I’m destined
My true value I wish to find
By being one of the common
And not an emperor or a chief

I have stood the tests of the time
As species vanish and sublime
My simplicity helps me survive
I’ll be here till doom will arrive
Even if I am destroyed and hurt
Its love and peace I always assert
Without me no thorns of flowers
But I don’t demonstrate powers
Live for nature and environment
Is my request, faith and belief

DREAMS ABSURD

Often through open eyes I get lost in abstracts
Plunging into vision that attracts and distracts

Finding myself submerged in absurd thoughts
Traversing beyond the boundaries and spots
Indulging again in encounter with the despots
Eventually trying to escape from ties and knots
By freeing myself from the deals and the pacts

With unnerving courage conquering desires
Dealing with emotion that suddenly backfires
Burning the heart and soul in enflaming pyres
In search of peace, my heart always inquires
Trying to know about the realities and facts

Assuming as if floating amid the earth and sky
Sometimes inculcating the desire to fly high
To reach for the moon and stars I wish to try
Fearing failures will make me grieve and cry
Trying to look for the right routes and tracts

The desires seem to change, wishes altercate
But not always your destiny depends on fate
Way to your aspiration your effort will create
Don’t let faith and determination dissociate
In order to succeed properly gather your acts

Neither be discouraged nor lose your hope
Even in most absurd situation there is scope
Often in difficulty, your nerve will envelope
Walking up is tougher than down the slope
Your real identity, the time and tide extracts

THE DARK HOUR

The eerie atmosphere of the dark hour
Often enshrouded by shimmering star

The silence and stillness often ruptured
By sounds and songs of birds nurtured
Creating a music in rhythm amid hope
With tryst and efforts to find the scope
To spread smiles like blossoming flower

Thundering clouds along with lightening
Creating noises scary and frightening
Few sight look beyond for a silver lining
Convincing one self and fears confining
Strengthening hope as faith empower

Carrying the burden of loss and failures
In vain often seeking remedy and cures
And if you lose faith here you are dead
With strong determination move ahead
Indulging oneself in self revolt and war

There is an urge to come out victorious
In search of fame, desire to be glorious
But in sands of time, these gets buried
So not to get excited neither be worried
As often ambition is absurd and bizarre

There is suffering with wounds and pain
But just as rainbow appears after the rain
Sorrow and misery changes to happiness
To this truth everyone beholds witness
Love and affection fades away the scar

Night is submerged in the light of day
Grief and delight like pendulums sway
I earn to spend and I also gain to loose
This way of life I always wish to choose
With hope on me blessings will shower

WINNING BY LOSING

Either you may win or else you may loose
As this depends on the game you choose

And the results are not always permanent
Treating all your efforts as an experiment
You’ll have to try to notice the right clues

Day turns to night and night turns to day
Fortune and destiny always tends to sway
To sulk and grieve do not find an excuse

Why our efforts be justified to any other
Unnecessary anyone else should bother
And for me no need to create any issues

I’m what I am and I’m always on my own
To others favour I’m not ready nor prone
As for this my conscience never subdues

We are blinded by desires and ambition
By forgetting happiness’ actual definition
In vain to unworthy areas we try to cruise

As the real meaning of life lies in smiles
In search of which you need not go miles
Just satisfaction in self you have to infuse

Whatever I’ve gained here I’ve to return
And from my failures I will have to learn
As with sincere efforts success accrues

But even then if my effort goes in vain
I’ll neither sulk nor will I go an complain
Just wonder a bit and then I will amuse

My stay over here is a temporary phase
For this materialistic world, I’ve no craze
Its importance for me is not of much use

Not much expectation I have over here
Only to my own conscience I will adhere
With a final wish clear here all my dues

And till I live, I’ll live with an open heart
As this way to live life is quite a rare art
So try to smile and not to have the blues

WHEN I LOVED

It is all about when I really fell in love
Feeling as if I was in the heavens above

I used to smile without reason or rhyme
Completely lost track of date and time
Strange feelings in my heart did sublime
Which I tried to hide as if it was a crime

I then started to wait and wait and wait
So that with her I could move on a date
Suddenly I started believing in my fate
Our future together I used to calculate

She used to reign on my heart and mind
And just in her thoughts I got confined
Only to realize this that love was blind
As for me she was the only of her kind

I felt as if lost and no more in my own
A magic happened as I turned to stone
Without her I felt more and more alone
In uncontrolled measure love had grown

But then even of late I finally realized
This my heart has unknowingly devised
For this many things I had compromised
And I was almost stunned and surprised

Finally of my emotions I took control
Concentrating on more important goal
Thinking of life once again as a whole
I got rid of the feeling from within my soul

BEYOND IMAGINATION

Across the dreams, beyond the imagination
My mind tends towards strange inclination

Thoughts convalescent and beliefs ominous
And the persistent dilemma almost obvious
Baffled between praises and condemnation

Escapades of the day as the night’s awaited
Achievement celebrated loss compensated
Memoirs buried, ideas ready for coronation

A mystic resonance keeps echoing around
Flowing in its waves, sorrows are drowned
Happiness’ rejuvenated in new incarnation

Rustling emotions with the breezing views
Which my heart follows and mind pursues
With eager efforts and firm determination

It’s not my quest either for wealth or fame
For peace and pleasure my desires enflame
I am not a seeker of rewards or recognition

Between the sunsets and the sunrise here
With rains I’ll rinse off my conscience clear
And prepare myself for life’s examination

Segregation of the thoughts good and bad
Engulfing the sorrows making others glad
Churning the soul removing contamination

Refuelling energies getting ready to spark
On sands of time trying to leave my mark
And to make it glow preparing for ignition

Future’s a secret better be left unexplored
Past learned and present perfectly endured
Calm yet quietly prepared for indignation

Often haunted by feeling of losing my way
I wish to be guided by a divine beam or ray
Helping my soul reach the final destination

MY HOBBIES

The hobbies of mine are really quite a few
As I’m found always up to something new

Often I enjoy expressing myself in poetry
Exploring my thoughts solving its mystery
But you just can not guess it or find a clue

Again I try to capture the beauty of nature
Framing them in slides, God’s architecture
As joy, peace and calm, from them I drew

I like to collect coins and also the currency
But it’s not the wealth that I always fancy
It’s the history of them that I try to pursue

There are stories I read and the songs I sing
And holding the guitar I often pull its string
Thus in this way my leisurely time did flew

We shouldn’t be classified by faith or race
Love must prosper and differences erase
Debating to help solving all the social issue

Trying to express myself as best as I could
So that my thoughts are easily understood
I try to voice my opinion and point of view

Watching the sun set walking by the beach
To touch the sun, if my hands could reach
Even though I try hard, my efforts eschew

I love to climb up to the hills and mountain
Ride on to the clouds and make them rain
Or get to the sky and make the stars skew

Across the fields or else inside the forests
Near grasslands and trees my desire nests
Close to nature I wish to bid my soul adieu

In this life I wish for satisfaction and peace
Taking happiness and grief with equal ease
Fulfilling all my desires and leaving no due

That’s all where my heart and mind incline
This is how my pleasures I seek to define
And as for the rest, I leave them up to you

POLLUTED DIRT

I used to walk and I am walking still
Feeling as if this surrounding will kill

Barren lands, drought stricken and dry
Upsetting me a lot and making me cry
I wonder how on earth this poison spill

As I helpless watch grasslands vanish
The beauty of the nature getting tarnish
Wish awareness and concern we can till

It’s high time now to realize our mistake
As our whole existence is now on stake
Only if it could be saved by strong will

I miss the beaches and the jungles too
Lakes have disappeared, rivers are few
And I long to take a walk up to the hill

Trees have fallen, jungles also erased
And I’m now left shocked and amazed
As what the back of our minds did fill

And now what I breathe is polluted dirt
Atmosphere’s gloomy which really hurt
Excavates my mind, my heart does drill

Lost my way to industries and factories
Longing to feel the fresh gentle breeze
Finally ending up in the noise of the mill

Wish I could save myself and the earth
Do something for the place, I took birth
To save nature, I wish to attain the skill

So that we all can see the nature bloom
And the life on earth doesn’t end in doom
Its beauty we can enjoy and we can thrill

MEASURE OF SUCCESS

What is the actual measure of our success?
Let us debate on this and let us now discuss
Is it by having money and power in excess?
Or just able to enjoy peace and happiness

Money often seems only to make us worry
To accumulate it we are always in a hurry
The thirst for power brings about tensions
That leads us to uncomfortable situations
And we should try to avoid this weakness

But the quest for happiness brings us calm
With a feel as if the world rests in our palm
Giving an opportunity to pursue satisfaction
As success is achieved by justified action
To which we can always proudly confess

Too much of wealth will get you confused
With unchecked power, pride gets induced
These are ingredients for one’s downfall
And along with them misfortunes befall
As there isn’t any end to one’s selfishness

Follow contentment avoiding resentment
Don not envy neither other’s sentiment
Be humble and polite don’t hold the pride
Don’t let temptations to take you for a ride
Or else you will find yourself in a mess

So make your efforts in right direction
Look into your self for self realization
Spread around love, humanity and care
True pleasure lies in sacrifice and share
Real success is good health and wellness

DANCE TO MY RHYTHM

Dance to my rhythm and sway to my beat
To initiate you got to make an effort albeit
Swing yourself around by tapping your feet
Listening to music that's soft and discreet

Sounds of the drum, melodies of the violin
Will purify your soul washing away the sin
Again the fingers playing the harmonium
Will leave your soul in quiet pandemonium
Attaining the level where divinity will meet

The strings of the guitar will also ensure
Sorrows disappear and happiness endure
The music strokes out of the synthesizer
Will make the minds innocent yet wiser
As envy and jealousy the heart will delete

The lips and fingers playing with the flute
Making the atmosphere mystic and cute
And the hands busy shaking the cymbals
Hearing which even the angels assembles
As if you are performing to a heavenly fleet

Let’s strike the chord with heart and soul
Cleanse ourselves removing away the foul
Get rid of evil desires and sinful methods
Blooming in humanity like the floral buds
And trust me this will really be too sweet

In the end my songs will get you amazed
Leaving a mark that will never be erased
Soothing your conscience putting a smile
Holding on to which you can walk the mile
Into the arms of happiness waiting to greet

WHAT I FEEL IS WHAT I SAY

What I feel is what I will say
To others whim I don’t sway

Relations and the association
Often forces some deviation
But I see I’m firm on my way

Strong will and determination
Will help me reach destination
And be at peace by end of day

Why to be sorry why to sulk
Upon heart why carry a bulk
Be at ease, come what may

I see I don’t hurt, don’t wrong
Not envy what to others belong
Keeping evil feelings at bay

I don’t cheat I don’t deceive
I will die for what I believe
From truth I won’t run away

I may win or I may also loose
To succeed all skills I’ll induce
Life’s a sport, I’ll honestly play

I’ll face everything without fear
To my heart my deeds adhere
And here for long I won’t stay

I wish my soul escapes with ease
I hope that finally I'll die in peace
And this is all that I always pray

LOST ACQUAINTANCE

Again a long lost acquaintance
Made me feel the special presence

Of something which I did miss
As I realized that life was bliss

Which I wasn’t aware of before
As I heard the knock on the door

Of my heart, soul and the mind
It made me recollect and unwind

Retrieving efforts for happiness
Releasing tensions and distress

Once again bringing life on track
With memoirs from the flashback

Towards the unprecedented future
Where buds of success will nurture

All that happens, happens for good
By that idea, I have always stood

No regrets or repercussion of past
As misfortune doesn’t forever last

And now a new breath of life I feel
As some ties matters a great deal

As I wish to hold on to the moments
Hope I could check my sentiments

Not getting lost in any false dream
And get hurt by emotions extreme

Still I have full faith and trust
But want to check emotions outburst

Let me now see what lies ahead
And experience all before I am dead

STARS OF THE NIGHT

There isn’t much about the stars of the night
Often dimly lit and sometimes shining bright

Silently twinkling gently ad shimmering away
Through the darkened hours bringing respite

Still the significance of us hardly gets noticed
Again there is just no rescue from this plight

The sun and the moon have been prominent
And our glory has remained rather out of sight

We have always existed in peace and silence
Our togetherness never saw a clash or a fight

We may be shadowed by the clouds at times
But we always return with a smile to delight

Constellation and galaxies can’t be without us
The whole universe sparkles through our light

We are like puzzles, unsolved and unexplored
As it has been impossible to achieve our height

We live in peace and we are united in harmony
To feelings of envy and jealousy we never bite

We’re aware of our limitation and restrictions
With love and care we hold each other tight

We try to sparkle gloomy moments of others
A selfless initiative, one should try to cite

Of our status we have never held any pride
We illuminate lives like an honoured knight

We listen to our heart and abide by the heart
And we always try to do what we think is right

We are calm and always down to earth beings
Always humble, we never display our might

Poetries and prose have been written for us
Thoughts and imaginations we always excite

And finally there is no fuss about our existence
As we live in silence and we die away quiet

SELF TESTIMONY

What should I testify, what to say about him
Sometimes he is funny, sometimes he is grim

You will find him mostly lost in his thought
That’s what he owns, that’s what he has got

To know him you have to read him and learn
During which your conscience may also burn

And injuries may be fatal so leave him alone
As whoever touched him have turned to stone

So on him don’t waste your energy and time
As his words make no sense, they only rhyme

He may seem to be sweet, but he is often bitter
Every time it’s not gold, everything that glitter

He shouldn’t be loved, he shouldn’t be hated
For him these emotions were just not created

He neither has any friends here nor any foe
And why is this so, even he couldn’t know

As when I tried to judge him, I got confused
As in a vain attempt all my energy got used

It’s impossible to know his nature or attitude
So finally decided to leave him in his solitude

DEMOCRATIC TO A CRITIC

Wish here it was really a democratic republic
Wish this country was really owned by public

I’m really not ready to celebrate this day now
And surprised as no one else’s aware as how
For me this is not reality and just a gimmick

But then truth is unfortunately quite contrary
Socio-economic and political condition scary
As I can feel my country is ill and is also sick

The wealth has accumulated in hands of few
And happiness of the poor is for long time due
As this often gets covered by some clever trick

Our elected leaders are now mostly criminals
The constitution is now threatened by the evils
With poisonous fangs our growth they prick

But again when will we get aware of the fact
Leaving the complains we’ll get together to act
As our own future, we ourselves have to pick

With strong will and determination move ahead
Rejuvenating souls once supposed to be dead
Contributing to our development brick by brick

Forgetting differences of faith, caste and creed
If united we all stand, our nation will succeed
So weaved in a garland, like beads we’ll stick

Finally we all can feel proud to be an Indian
Removing illiteracy and corruption, the villain
Then with our success our fortunes will click

And we’ll feel equality, liberty and sovereignty
We’ll be the best without dilemma or ambiguity
So I'll be able to say my republic is democratic
