The Grand Arrival

And then I saw it,
Drifting slowly through the calm stream following its
Own way not waiting on anything.
No particular direction, it had to follow.
Gentle pearls of mist caressing its
Wrinkled texture…
The early sun casts its light on to
These pearls creating the various
Prismatic shades of light.
Gliding through the stream, it kisses
The smooth pebbles underlying the stream
And tiny creatures curiously observe
The majestic arrival of that dry
Yellow maple leaf from
Under their hideouts.

Complexities of Love

Love is deceiving
It is always so complex.
Love was different when
We were young,
Fearless and carefree.
However, the realities of life
Endow us as we grow
Older in this world.
However age cannot be blamed,
Since the idea of love varies from
Person to person.
Love has definitions of different kinds-
Mother’s love, friend’s love or love
From that special someone.
Someone who is so special
That you would sacrifice some of
The important things in life.
When in love you wouldn’t realize
What is important to you and
What is not.

Great scholars have spend years and
Years debating, disagreeing and demanding
To understand the complexities of love.

Is it possible to find that
Special someone in life,
What if you never realized that the person was there
Around you, surrounding you
With all the happiness you
Have dreamt of all your life
Is it necessary to compromise
In love, does one have to fall
In love to rise.
How can we rise, do people
Rise at all, maybe this is why
Great scholars have
Disputed, debated and disgreed
Over the complexities of love.

Why Cry?!

If we cry, they consider us weaklings.
If we cry, they take us for granted.
If we cry, we are pitied at.
If we cry, the world is not going to be peacefully.
So why cry?
But we cry, for mercy,
We cry, for committing a sin,
We cry, to relieve our hearts,
We cry, when we are in pain,
We cry, for sympathy,
We cry, to seek attention.
But the actual reason for us to cry
Is because our tear gland produces
Excess water!!
GOTCHA!!

My Dream With You

I had a dream last night,
you were there in it.
You touched my heart,
I skipped a beat.
I dreamt, you holding me,
In your arms- close and tight.
You kissed me in special places,
Those kisses I will cherish,
Forever in my dreams.
Oh! I wonder how it would feel
To have you next to me in real.
Running your fingers through my hair,
Caressing me softly.
Planting a kiss on my forehead.
I will forever remember that feeling,
Which sprang on me when
I first saw you in my dreams.
I will cherish every moment.
I have spend with you till now.
I will love you forever and
Dream of you forever
Till my last breath.

Paradox of Love

Love is life
Live life to the fullest
By falling in love.
Always believe in love
As it will
Lead you from darkness
To light.
Life will be filled
With Light,
If you believe in love,
Love is a miracle.
Love brings happiness
Love brings joy
But…

If love brings rejection,
It brings sadness,
Love brings sorrow
To worsen the situation
It brings heartbreak,
Thus I say…

Never fall in love,
As love hurts.
It shatters your dream.
That dream which
You see with the
One you love.
Have you ever thought-
Why people fall in love?
Why love hurts?
How people fall in love?
I don’t know.
Neither do I want to find out.
As love is a very
Confusing subject and
I don't want to go there!!

Loss or Gain?

I am losing it all,
Everything seems to lose its value.
I am losing it all,
Like the sands of the desert
They slip through the velvety
Hands of time.
What I have earned are of no value anymore.
Things of value are to be kept and
Remembered forever…
But what have I to remember
When I have lost it all.
Maybe it is what I deserve.
But why should fate
Play such unremarkable games with me.
Maybe it’s the phase
I am passing through.

But when I walk further,
I see the mists of time clearing.
I see that, what seem lost to me
Is all coming back.
But with a different meaning.
They seem to look at me with pity,
Pity for not knowing them.
Now, I can only be sorry for them
For what seems to me as loss,
Was a gain in the end.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness- I seek for it.
Forgiveness I know I don’t deserve.
But guilt fills my mind.
With guilt one finds
Difficulty to approach…
Sorry is what I am now
But sorry doesn’t not make
Dead man alive…

Thus I seek for forgiveness
With a heavy heart.
As my mind swings with guilt,
I plead for forgiveness.
“Please forgive me”
Is now my request to you.

Dedicated to the One I Love

What is this life without you,
Without you my life is incomplete.
Leading a life without you,
Is equal to leading a life
Without oxygen.
You are the air that I breathe,
The sweet smell that lingers,
When you come close to me-
It sends me into multiples.

Your touches are sweeter
Than your kisses.
The confused state you
Leave me after those kisses
Is unexpressable…
What I would do to stay
With you, to stay with you
Forever is my prayer.
I pray to the Almighty
That our love continues
To color the world of peace
As our love is precious
And will last forever.

My Lost Identity

What am I?
Who am I?
Only Thou above us knows.
Identity- I seek for it.
Identity has been lost now.
Lost to, I don’t know whom.
Maybe to the memory lane
And friends- I have exchanged it.
Now I realized without an identity
I am no one, somewhere down
The memory lane I remember
What I was…
Who I was…
Now what you see
In me is not what
You think it is.
Deep inside I still long
To live the life I used to live.
But, how shall I go back
If I do,
I would have to sacrifice-
Sacrifice all what I have,
Have I love, glory, fame, friends.
To lose it all is bearable.
Except friends, without them
Life is unbearable.
They are my pillars
Without them I stand nowhere
Thus friends alone can help me
Achieve what I have lost
In these years gone by,
The identity I lost to my memories.
