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
