Even an ounce matters

 Even an ounce matters 

A milligram of medicine 

Can cure your disease

A small particle of dust 

Can cause you to wheeze

A microscopic virus 

Can halt the world


Even an ounce matters!


A bit of love brings a smile and hope

A little bit of care can make life better

A ray of sunshine can make life brighter 

A small vibration can change the galaxy 


The world is moved by a small force

Like a glow worm

 Like a glow worm

She shone on his window

As though pausing to share

Some magical moments

Before her short span of life

Gets over on this planet

She shines vividly

Daring to enter his room

As he quietly watches 

The myriad luminescence

Though splendid but uninvited

Unwanted, she watches herself 

And admiring her glow 

Fades into the darkness

Hanging up

It is time to hang up my womb
Which never had any purpose 
But went along with the moon
Waxing, waning and bleeding too
What a strange piece of being 
To look and wonder 
What a pain of life it is! 

Shining star

 They said you are a coward
To turn away from life 
They called you a man of vices 
Because the devils laughed 
pointing their dirty fingers at you 
Nobody can be as pure as you 
Not as lively as you
You lived and wanted to live 
A vibrant life in the highest 
Levels of existence 
You shined and still shines 
Intensely like a divine light
That will shine eternally 
As a symbol of mankind
The best you can be!

Will love you even after I die

The smell of death is coming from all quarters
And here is a life that still  can't understand what it is to be alive
She is running with all her spirit
Ignoring all the eyes that are trying to stare through her
Pushing aside the hands
That are trying to hold her
To own her
She has to reach her little one
Who stays across the sea
She has to reach there before death engulfs her own mortal self
To embrace her precious little one
And to tell her
That she loves her dearly
And will continue to love her
Even after death engulfs her own mortal self

Nothing that can stop me now

 Stunned by the world
No words to utter
No moves to make
In complete stillness
There is nothing that matters

Friends call, we talk
We are shouting but still
Unable to hear each other
It is two different worlds
There is nothing more to say

Strangers come, they talk
They probe, they check
Can you play the part in their
Fantasy game
There is nothing I can offer

I shed myself of my outer covering by
I don't feel the chill anymore
There is more fire
That is burning within
There is nothing that can stop me now

The smell of death

The smell of death

The smell of death is sweeping in through the courtyard
I breath it in slowly
Awful in the beginning
But as it slowly enters
My whole body
Reaching each cells
It ignites a fresh flame of light
Of  a new life
With a sweet fragrance
Vivid colours and splendid hues
Love life

Fear


I saw the fear in her eyes
It was unbelievable
How could she be afraid?
She always walked boldly
Through the crowd,
on the stage and through the dark  alleys
I looked deeper into her eyes
But couldn't recognise the fear
And walked back fearlessly
Unaware of the calamity
That is claiming lives, all around me!
