You, Me and Destiny

My dreams had an ambitious bent before I saw you first,

I was a teenager then I knew that one day this love would burst.

You came out of nowhere and helped me stand on my feet,

But you went away so quickly, like God had shown me a glimpse and then taken away my treat.

A penny fell out of your pocket and I still hold that dear,

I have grown up now, I will be married to someone else I fear!

My hungry eyes have searched for your image in every place I go,

I never found those big, brown, kind eyes again in any face nor that aristocratic nose and eyebrow.

I knew in that one spellbinding moment, when I met you, that you were my soul mate.

For years I've been searching everywhere for you, my love, this love does not seem to abate.

My hopes grew thinner with every passing day,

Maybe I would never find you, maybe that is God's way.

****

I am married now to another and we have our family, 

I am the perfect wife and mother, there is just one single anomaly.

I still don't love my husband, not that he isn't a good man,

He is kind, loving and affectionate. A perfect husband for a wife's lifespan.

I have surrendered myself to this life, though my soul is still not into it.

My interest in life is draining slowly bit by bit.

And then one sunny day, I saw you again!

You had grown old, it was like your jet black hair had got a white stain.

You had never been a breathtaking Greek Apollo,

There was some charm around you, an air of happiness, as if your spirits could never be low.

You were still the same; In the bleak, black world, you were still my sun.

I had duties towards a husband and a son now, fine threads of relations fate has spun!

Still I couldn't stop myself, my body was being pulled towards you by an invisible string.

I heard myself asking you, if you remembered that we had met, seven years ago, one fateful spring!

You said you didn't and that hurt me like a thousand needles pricked at once.

The one I loved with all my heart and soul didn't consider me in his list of dear ones.

Tears were threatening to brim over my eyes and overflow,

I didn't want you to see that fate had given me a heart-breaking blow!

I said my goodbyes and turned away from you just as the first tear drop fell,

I felt such despair, such loneliness that I can never tell!

I felt disgusted with myself that I had loved you all along,

Your penny that I had always cherished slipped through my fingers as, to me, it did not belong.   

****

I saw my penny slip through your fingers and waited for you to go,

I knew it belonged to me, it was one of a kind, my father had given it to me long ago.

I had dropped it that day on purpose, to see if you would keep my token,

I had snitched away your hairpin as a gift, a memory of yours I had taken.

You had just grown out of childhood then, my lovely girl!

How could I have asked for your hand then? I had thought fate would, in due course,unfurl.

I had thought that for you to live in luxury, I would have to make some money.

I left our birth land and returned many years later, to me our future looked sunny.

It never crossed my mind that you would belong to someone else so fast,

Then I saw you with your husband and son on each side, you hadn't seen me, I felt like an outcast.

I felt devastated, my soul had lost its purpose to exist,

The sunny future had been covered now by a thick, black mist.

The sorrow was so deep that even tears refused to come out,

It was as cold as the arctic wind, my tears had frozen without doubt.

I thought about it for days together and felt that maybe I was your silly teenage crush.

You were the love of my life! Was I as unimportant as a particle of dust ? So easy to brush?

I had dreamed about us together, like a happy song.

It is hard to digest that it is to another that you belong!

And then today you saw me. In your eyes, love as intense as mine I could see.

It took all my life's control not to stop you from going free.

You had a family and duties you could never let go,

If you knew that I cherished you too, you would be ecstatic, but eventually you would feel deep guilt and sorrow.

For then you would have to choose between me and your life in which you have perfectly fit,

You would choose me and I do not want you to leave your family and split.

So I replied that I don't remember you, knowing it would hurt you a lot,

You, my love, have no idea how much it hurt! What a pathetic fate it is in which we are caught!

"I don't remember seeing you", Hah! That was the greatest lie ever!

When it was your face that will be impinged upon my memory, my dreams forever!

You turned away disgusted and I saw your tear reflect the sunlight.

I cannot help this hurt, my love! Our fate is cruel! Fate that we can never fight!

You will be happy with your family, your path is set.

I have to find a new reason to live, this memory I have to somehow forget!

Yet I have a feeling I can never let go of your face and that expression.

At present all my feelings in life, except dejection, have reached a point of cessation.

So many words have been defeated by silence that I wish my silence had words, my dear.

Your laughter, your words, your love for me I'll never get to hear!

We loved each other, but destiny never made us meet at the right time,

These words are ringing in my ears, like haunted sounds of a broken wind chime.

I was never a believer in rebirth, but now I want to be!
Maybe destiny will be kinder next time, we will be together my love, you and me.....

Rain-The movie

The Proud sun has been covered by the grey clouds again,

This is a sure indication, a certain event preceding the heavenly rain.

The clouds have started to become heavy,

The birds are going back to their safe shelters in a bevy.

The winds howl and rejoice with a fierce deadly velocity,

The plants sway to the wind awaiting the rain with an intense hungry voracity.

Those that are sturdy against the wind remain,

others unable to bear the ferocity are slain.

The excitement reaches a feverish peak,

The clouds start exhibiting the power with bolts of lightening, language of thunder they speak!

The weakest cloud of them all, lets go of the courage first,

That is when it drizzles lightly, soothing the dry earth's thirst.

The land unaware of the doom ahead thinks of it as a gift and releases a sweet smell,

it always remains in our memories as a beautiful experience in which we revel.

Slowly the rain gains a little confidence and power,

The leaves, covered with a layer of dust , get a cleansing shower.

The rain drops down now with all its might.

It then looks as though the land and the sky are having a fight.

The rain now has no mercy or self control

Its like the sky is refusing to stop, no matter how much the God's cajole.

The drizzle which was pleasant has become a pain as such,

The rain drops are now sharp stones hurting wherever they touch.

People run hither-tither to avoid being drenched, across the street,

Its like the rain laughs merrily while making people dance on their feet.

The rain loses all its energy in this outburst,

It slowly starts thinning, having shown everyone its worst.

The clouds are meek again in front of the sun,

the birds start flapping their wings , trying to dry them, they start having fun.

The dogs release all the water in their fur,

A miniature rain they create for those who are close, in the style they always prefer.

The plants so green and clean, free of all the dirt and dust smile at everyone.

A few stubborn rain drops, refusing to leave the leaves, glitter in the shining sun.

They seem like diamonds sprinkled on the green leaves by the Gods,

They adhere to the leaf in a precarious position, against all odds!

Soon, everyone goes back to their hum drum work in a hurry,

The only proof that it had ever rained would be a large puddle, a mud and water slurry.

And for anyone who finds the time to look into the sky,

there would be a beautiful rainbow, bidding adieu, saying a sweet goodbye!

I look at everything sitting by my window and sipping hot tea,

I feel like a celebrity watching a 3D movie, specially screened for me.

I wish everyone would take time to notice these course of events,

You should never neglect them, these little dramatic,enjoyable moments!

All that I Ask!

A flapping random butterfly is like my hope,

these situations in life, these rules and regulations! I can no longer cope.

When I feel confused by everything around,

its like listening to cacophony, with my hands and legs bound!

Frustration wants a vent and nothing is clear

The vent is usually shouting on everyone near and dear!

And then my guilt starts shooting me in the heart

Like an array of arrows fired at me in all directions, leaving me unable to dart!

I start crying, tears of guilt overflowing for all the people I  hurt,

with my voice shrill and tone ruthless, baseless nonsense that I blurt!

I think of what I was before and what have I become,

The world around me is the same, I have changed to bothersome.

I want to be appreciated by the people I love, for them to know my worth,

If I had none, then why did you grant me this birth!?

This confusion rips my mind into a bipolar personality,

Your help is urgently needed God! to regain my functionality.

You by my side, in me, is all that I need.

On a brown dry desert land, you are the germinating seed.

So many prayers of mine, requests, why don't you heed?

Is it true God? that to receive your help we should be of the right religion, caste and creed?

A proof of your presence in my life is all that I ask !

Is that so terribly wrong God?! Would that be too much of a task?

Not One But Three!

Go ahead, dream big and get risky

Say yes to the person you like, go around, grab some happiness and a bottle of whisky!

Spend all the money you have saved, 

Buy all that you can, things you have always craved.

You are accumulating money to enjoy life tomorrow,

 But when is tomorrow ever going to arrive? Will happiness ever sweep away all the sorrow?

When will you really enjoy if you keep postponing enjoyment?

How come our elders always spoke about never postponing work and employment?

Maybe they also spoke about living life in the moment and the people have forgotten about it

Why can’t you delve in the greenery of a valley and not worry about falling into the pit!

Why can’t you just tell the person you love about your feelings,

Why hide, play games, let ego come in and behave like they are business dealings.    

This is the dreamy, impulsive me blabbering about what to do next,

Never caring about the consequences, the circumstances or the present context!

The impulsive me then gets hit by the practical me,

“Are you completely insane? How can you be so spirited and free?”

Life is full of responsibilities; life is fulfilling them degree by degree,

Your parents rely on you, their kid’s success is what they want to see,

Life is not about enjoying a fall and getting hurt in the end, it’s to make the fall as safe as it could be.

Ambition is the quality that makes life challenging,

Love is on and off, the feelings of the people in love around you are always changing.

The person who adores you might not do so tomorrow,

But the money you save today will definitely help you and others, if you let them borrow

People change but the value of money is always constant

What you want to buy today will be replaced by something better and brilliant

Then of course, inconsistent that you are, you will fret over what you bought,

What’s the point in buying something useless, just because it’s an object you sought!   

So listen to my sense and not the impulsive nonsense,

Work hard, sweat it out, plan your future; See life through my lens

The conflict between them goes on and on,

While the analytical me analyses both of them and conclusions are drawn.

The analytical me laughs at both of them and their ongoing war

impulsive and practical mes are still making  faces, each other they completely abhor!

Analytical me listens to their argument and decides whom to listen to,

Time may be wrong for the impulsive me sometimes and sometimes for the practical me too.

Then the decision is taken about whose advise to follow.

My life has always been like this, like a mixed threesome stereo!

I am not one but three, three minds reside in me.

But these three people you'll never get to see, they lie in one body but never are free! 

LOVE YOURSELF!

You love the azure colour of the sky

You admire the serenity of plants quiet and shy

You drown yourself in the taste of everything delicious

You applaud every piece of art, created by plan or spontaneous.

Then why though you love everything else, can't you love yourself!

Because you aren't the colourful sky!?

Because you aren't a sturdy plant!?

Because you aren't delicious neither are you a piece of art?!

You have the element of everything inside you.

Your thoughts are as boundless as the sky,

Your sleep is as serene as the peaceful plant standing by,

You yourself are God's masterpiece, impossible to copy even though they try!

Your life in itself is a tasty dish, a blend of all tastes just made for you to enjoy.

You are everything you want to see outside,

You have everything in you, everything inside.

Love yourself first for others to see your worth,

If you didn't till now, start doing it, take a new birth!

The Right Door

                                       

                                         This way or that? what do I choose?

 Heavens above! But there are no clues!

 Yeah! They both seem equally good,

 I would choose none,if only I could.

 Looking into the future ,I want to choose the first,

 but the second could also quench my thirst.

 Then I ask others for some advice,

and what do I get? ordure at a high price!!

Best way out is to toss a coin,

But the discussion of assigning head and tail to each decision? No thanks I'd rather not join! 

Why !! do i need to make this decision!?

Like its my life's only wretched mission!

Can't my best path be laid with eye catching flowers?

So, I'd know which one's right without using all my mental powers.

All i want to do is not regret,

it is solely for this reason that I so horribly fret.

Consequently ,it comes down to "eeny, meeny, miny, moe!! "

But there's a trick in this game that i already know.

Finally here I'm, I wait again,

for a signal from the God saying all's not vain.

Wistfully hoping he  closes the wrong door out of the two

Then ill be left with nothing to do,

                       but to get into the door that's left open without much ado!!

Memoirs Of God

I've been alive since time wasn't even counted,
when space was nothing and the formation of universe hadn't even started.
I've seen the desolate planets bloom with life and their beauty,
I've felt deep sorrow they came to an end, I had to perform my duty.
I've marveled in the magnificence of my creation,
I have designed the course of events in evolution.
I do not reside in the skies very far above,
I reside in everything, in the ugliest crow and in the whitest dove.
I'm the conscience that pricks you when you are wrong,
I'm the force that can pour peace into your mind like a sweet tuned song!
I, my dear, reside in your soul,
I have complete control over you, on your greatest achievement & your smallest mole.
The journey of your life is designed so you realise you are me,
I am omniscient and omnipresent, I am every thing you see!
I want you to do a good deed not for its reward,
I want you to do so because you realize that you are helping another form of me,that would be my greatest award !
People expect me to perform unbelievable miracles,
to give them free pleasures and remove all their obstacles.
A miracle out of me, is to request the sun to burn a twig!
I'm a huge treasure treasure land, you find new gems the harder you dig!
I want you to wish for the courage to overcome the obstacles, not erase them all,
I want you to trust and love me even when you are having a ghastly fall.
I want you to believe in yourself and realize your abilities,
not praying for all the comforts and facilities!
I want you to see the beauty in the scorching heat of the sun, in the turbulence of the deadliest storm,
I want you to see me in every life form.
I want you to understand why there is sorrow,
you have to come out of it, my strength I'll let you borrow.
There's a lesson and meaning in everything around you,
a lesson to learn from the perseverance of an ant
a lesson in the endlessly growing plant.
I've given you life in your mother's womb,
I'll take it away ,before you rest peacefully in your tomb.
Death, my dearest, is inevitable, so think of the life you have yet to live,
think of all the happiness to others, that you have yet to give.
I adore you, oh little one! Much more that your own mother,
whether you love me or hate me, about that I do not bother!
I've keep track for your every movement even your first howling cry,
I remember your first thought , your first word and your first lie!
You can treat me like your brother, mother, father or your best friend,
be it in any form, courage and peace of mind I'll always lend.
Remember I'll always be there in you,beside you , around you,
If you are sad just think of me , the bundles of difficulties will become very few.
One day you'll realize I am You and experience bliss!
And here I wait for that eventful day, for that moment , I would not want to miss!!

Little Funny Quirk!

Are dew drops the tears of a lonely ghost?

Are the snow capped mountains,vanilla ice creams that Gods love the most?

Do the birds consider ground as their sky?

Do they think of freedom in terms of walk , as we think it is to fly!?

Does the lizard on the wall think of you as scary?

Does the helpless potted plant think of you as a magical water giving fairy?

Are the birds ,every morning, chirping with mirth?

Or are they arguing among themselves about who is going to land first on earth?

Are the trees really silent? To a spot they are glued.

Or is the breeze we feel ,their comments,maybe of praise or maybe lewd.

Do the bees feel that we are buzzing when we converse?

Does the mirror contain a parallel universe?

Does the river really flow,happily with glee? 

Or are the drops of a river competitively having a race to reach the sea?

The world that we see might not be simple after all.

With a little funny quirk in you,you might never be bored at all!

Fear

A silent watchful entity is stalking me,

I feel it in a chaotic crowd and behind a silent tree.

Its deadly claws of terror are seizing my spirit,

Taking away all my accolades, my achievements and my merit.

I cannot see it yet I feel and hear its presence,

its every breath, sigh and its deadly essence.

Fear clutches me every time I walk on a lonely road,

I pray that my guardian angel will destroy it with a divine sword.

In these few moments of delirium, my life flashes in front of my eyes.

I see all the people I've hurt and their anguish filled cries!

I see the hungry eyes of a beggar staring at me daily, yearning for a pitiful coin.

I see the disgust I felt towards him and the endless busy uncaring crowd I join.

A feeling of sorrow suddenly grips my heart,

why hadn't I given any credence to my conscience from the start !

I see every person I've hurt with my acerbic tongue,

I want to apologize, a song of deep guilt is being left unsung.

I see all the money accumulated over years,

I would give all of it, to eradicate this voice from my ears.

My success flashes in front of me like a distant memory,

My attitude towards life was practical, selfish and unsavory.

That success is not helping me out of this fear,

I cry for my life, it is the only thing that is dear.

I now see the red eyes shining in the shadows.

They are laughing at me, relishing the thought of taking me to the gallows.

Realization struck me like a deadly lightening,

I had known it all along, what it was, it is chillingly frightening!

Death, as inevitable as the sunset, had decided i was next,

but I don't want to die! I haven't given life my best.

I haven't given tear evoking joy to anyone,

nor have I ever appreciated the spectacular view of the rising sun.

I want to go back and give all my money to the needy,

I want to re-live my life, forego being so greedy.

I know my wish will not be granted and yet I plead

My death, though merciless and shocking, has been already decreed.

May be death wouldn't have been so bitter had I lived virtuously,

kindness shown to a few souls would have helped tremendously.

I hear the loud snort of death, as if saying this realization hit you late

I feel abysmal pain, as it nears me, a gripping fear that does not abate.

Finally, it stretches out its claws and clenches my soul,

It laughs loudly with glee as it completes its goal.

Life With You

Life with you, was a dream come true,

I had everything happiness, satisfaction and love, boundless they grew.

You treated me so, that I felt like a queen.

I was fat and ugly but you made me believe that I was beautiful and lean.

You were my savior, my knight , so out of reach,

Your being mine was breaching all the rules they would always teach.

Perfect would be imperfect to describe you,

You were much more than that, an angel who had tamed the shrew.

You symbolized goodness, with not one bad habit to name,

You would treat everyone equally the lame or the dame.

But suddenly, my dream was shattered like a new born killed mercilessly,

I followed you around, pleaded you, begged you, relentlessly.

I beseeched you to tell me what went wrong,

Why was my heaven taken away from me, we had known each other for so long!

Were you the same person who had praised my “ethereal” beauty?

Then why are you treating me like an insect, so ugly and sooty?

Where is the unending love for me, you had confessed?

Love joins two people for all their lives, it was you who had professed.

I saw you with another girl and concluded you wanted to provoke jealousy,

She was beautiful, lean and everything I ever wanted to be, but I behaved that I was all that too, for all who would want to see.

But I was so foolishly wrong, I wanted to drown in the ocean of my pain,

I wanted electrifying lightening to strike me when I stood in the rain.

Truth hit me on my face like a mean punch from a mighty fist,

You didn’t care for me at all; I was just a name on your achievement list.

All the assurances, flowers, gifts and your kind nature were a part of your game,

And I was as dumb as a goose, so easy to fool. Oh! I feel such shame!

I want to cry so loud, till my throat becomes numb,

I want the tears to come, to flow and to cleanse this embarrassment, this shame that have made me succumb.

My soul has been used, crumpled and kicked by you pitilessly,

I have no energy to smile, to live or to talk spontaneously.

Yet, after all this I still can’t think of harming you,

I am a fool to be still in love, unable to let go of my hearts view.

I cannot forget you. You have become an unwanted habit,

For you to just look at me once with love again, I would cut my body out bit by bit.

I cannot look at this world, without you as my guide,

Deep down my heart has already stopped beating for it was still with you and your love for me has died.

Of what use is living without you, it is bland and dry,

So, I have decided to end it, my only wish is to know if you will cry.

I end my life now for I see no hope that you would love me again,

It was my fault all along , I had only seen the rainbows and ignored the rain.

I wish you happiness, for your harm I cannot bear,

I hope you’ll love your dream girl and learn to care.

With this note I bid adieu to all,

Please bury me with his gift, I admire the most, the beautiful white shawl.

Missing you so much!

When was the last time I spoke to you my friend?

And by that I don't mean the forwarded msgs you send!

When was the last time we spoke non-stop for hours,

pearls falling out of the sky like blessings in showers!

When was the last time we laughed at something outrageously?

Later faced the consequences courageously!

When was the last time we went on a silly shopping spree?

And wondered what if we could get everything for free!

When was the last time we spoke about our crushes?

And remembered every embarrassing incident with little shy blushes!

When was the last time we played in the rain?

Anyone looking at us would have called us insane!

When was the last time we crashed into a sloppy movie,to which our parents wouldn't send,

just to make fun of each others' expressions in the end!

When was the last time we went on a long ride?

Met with an accident,developed scratches which we had to hide!

When was the last time we experimented with food?

called it cooking and named the dish something extremely crude!

When was the last time we made faces at each other,the uglier the winner.

Made the same faces at home and got scoldings at dinner!

When was the last time we spoke to each other in a low voice,

making people feel we have a secret,giving them every reason to trust their choice!

When was the last time you made me laugh without even telling a joke?

Your expression was equivalent to a solid poke!

When was the last time you made me laugh right when i was crying,

holding back my laughter and sticking to sadness is not even worth trying!

When was the last time we fought over an issue we can't even remember!

One of us would get fired up and the other one would easily surrender.

When was the last time we really remembered each other?

With a flood of emotions when we see any two best friends together!

When was the last time we defeated time and lived a memory clearly?

even when the conditions in our life were nearly surly.

When was the last time we agreed we missed each other a lot?

If I din't tell you yet my friend, its because its still a tender spot!

My Heart

My heart keeps getting bigger each day

brimming with so much love for you,what more can I say?

I've lost the count of the number of days,

because all that I think everyday is how to love you more in a number of ways

I din't know my heart could be any bigger

its all because of you ,you are the trigger

I would do things my way before I met you

now I cant dream of doing something that would upset you

I have become more messy than ever,

but I like it this way & I wish this goes on forever.

with you I can see all my dreams come true..

but is it the same way with you??

I've thought about this question again & again

but all my efforts just go in vain

I hope you have my heart on your calender too

I could give you my life...if u just give me a clue...

The Journey Of My Thoughts

As I stare again into the sky,

thinking of all the times that have gone by,

As I stare again into the sky,

thinking of all the times that have gone by,

with some sweet memories some bitter also lie,

those that I cannot erase even though I try .

People say forget the past and move into the future

but I find it against my stubborn nature!

For I keep getting caught..

reminding myself of the times that I'd better naught.

Some say what I'am is pessimistic.

but my dear friends what choice have i got?

I'am trapped in this room called mind

With the four walls closing on me ready to grind.

Am i going mad? Or am I just sad?

Is this a trick of God to test me?

Or is time just trying to best me?

Every time I find happiness lurking in a corner

I think of all the sadness that followed it,like that huge wall that follows every corner.

What I'am is scared of happiness..

for it ensures that when its over people experience sadness.

Its hard for me to believe in equality,

for some people who deserve success never get it.

And some get it without any singularity !

Where is the justice of God and his credibility??

Is he hiding in his own peaceful sanctity??

Then again there are doubts about the existence of God

When i look at urchins accept the unfair treatment with a surrendering nod.

As i look at them i thank my fate

For i have been blessed with something though not great.

Pondering over my failure is my greatest mistake,

at least i have my necessities and my future is not entirely at stake.

Like a drop of water on a barren land,

I have to grab this drop of hope before it seeps through the arid sand!

As i held it in the palm of my hand,

I realized it was my fallen tear as precious as the fallen pearls of a strand.

A tear thanking God for my existence not questioning  about his.

As the walls of my mind get farther away from me,

I begin to realize how beautiful my world really is!

Glad that I'am seeing the stars and not the darkness of the night.

I think again,why am I finding comfort in comparison..which gives me a fright!

Am I gloating ? grasping my happiness which others have not?

Finally after racking my brains it is this answer that i got...

maybe it is indeed wrong to be happy that you are not in their place,

but to remove that delight is impossible without trace!

so here comes the truth that every body's born to face.

It is in you how you face a situation,

for there will always be people better than you in fame and reputation.

And there will also be people less fortunate than you,what an amazing condition!

what factor makes this inequality among people is still beyond recognition.

But do thank God that in this journey you have your own station.

When you feel depressed think of how bad it could have been,

thank  God you came out at least  this clean.

Do not think of the people who have been mean,

for its God's responsibility to ensure justice is seen.

Think of the people who are more exposed to suffering than you....

It is not finding pleasure in their sadness,

it is mere thanksgiving to God with a feeling of gladness,

just realizing that  your problem was not unrealistic.

Now this is called being optimistic!

After all this there is still one more thing to go,

what do the people who are more successful than you show?

They are here to provide the inspiration,

to succeed beyond your limits and aspirations.

As I sit and stare into the sky,with the cool breeze comforting my face ...

I feel radiant that I have finally found my place.

As I open up your mind,I realize I have found that spirit,

My mind is bigger than the sky without any limit!

So I rejoice and get back to my work with double the fervour.

I'am safe as God keeps watching me from his tower.
