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
