Both did win!

With dancing bells on their feet
Both the dancers were ready
To cast their magic spell

While one chose to touch the heart
The other chose to touch the soul;
With their divine and rich artform

Hearts she won and the admiring glances
While the other took a different course
She won the souls and their acclaim!

He became a Yogi!

The world was unfair to him
His mind was filled with anger
And heart full of sadness

God had made him special
He was not an ordinary soul,
Who could be easily understood

He wanted the world to be fair
And fought all that was unjust
Making people move away from him

As loneliness became his companion
He realised the world was nothing
But a thin delicate bubble

Walking away from this momentary world
Leaving all his desires behind
He became a Yogi!

When I Go to Heaven

When I go to heaven I shall shower you
With flowers of sweet fragrance

As it fall all around you
Your life shall reflect its beauty

I would remove all the hurdles from your path
And fill it with red roses

I shall wipe away all your tears
And fear shall no more be with you

The world will see your beautiful heart
And would smile back at you

There shall be happiness all around you
As you will be blessed with everything nice

New Music

There is music flowing
From a distant far

It finds its way into my heart
And engulfs it with joy

I dance to the new music
With my body and soul

There is magic in the air
As i romanticize with the new melody

My heart overflows with a new found love
I want to dance to this music till my feet fail

Let this music never stop to reach me
Granting thus the happiness that I always sought!

I rejoice

Like a whiff of fresh fragrance
In the cool gentle breeze
You came and made me relish
The beautiful feeling

As you awaken my heart and soul
And soothe them with lovely words
That comes straight from your heart;
I rejoice!

Fight

She fought without realising
That she already lost the battle

There are some things in life
Which you can't fight for

God knowingly gives you
Things that you dearly need

Sometimes when you lose
Don’t have to feel heart broken

Since He will bring you
Things that you dearly need!

Trusting in You

Is He testing me always
By throwing hurdles at me?

Is He trying to come closer
By taking people far from me?

He taught me about people
How easily they change colour!

It is only in Him I can trust
Who pulls me up each time I fall

He is my strength, my saviour
And He has blessed me abundantly

I thank Him for his unconditional love,
For showing the light and the way

And bringing blessed people close to me;
Without whom it wouldn't have been easy!

A New World

Wipe out the tears
Wash away the pain

Bring in some love
Ring in a new dawn

Let there be no blood shed
No hatred or vengeance

Light the minds of those in the dark
Who wage war for no real reason

Let not the innocents pay the price
For ignorant crimes of the few

Flood the world with beauty
Kindness and strength

Let us care for our world, our people
Share with our fellow beings

And create a better world
For the new tender souls!

Blessed

Am I blessed to get the love of my life
To feel the fragrance of the beautiful romance
To see the beauty of the world and to smile

Will love last, beauty lost and fragrance faded
I wish you will be with me till the end of time
But nothing lasts, it is true, love is no exception

If ever you decide to go I want you to know
That the sweet memories you leave behind
Will take me till the end of my life

To die in your arms is my prayer though!

Desire

It was after much despair
That I came to realize
How better life is
With out the word desire

Desire which made me whine
For want of things far beyond
There was no need to seek them
When all I wanted was happiness
That was just a few steps away!

The endless search

As she searched for the answers she realized
That she has been moving in circles all the while

There would be no end to the search
No answers to the myriad questions

That was the truth and as she turned back
Life welcomed her back with open arms

And she decided to live, to live every moment!!

No Words

There are no words that the heart wants to speak
No song that it wants to sing

It has blinded itself to the world around
Looking only at life within

There are no sorrows or any desires
No pain or any joy

Like how a child’s chord with his mother is cut
Its chord with the world has been severed

Without any bonding it carries on steadily
Not letting the harsh realities cause a stir within!

Chennai Rain

Rain in Chennai is very rare
As though the gods never cared

And when it finally lashed
Quite a lot it washed

The soot, the grime and the cloggy drains
Perhaps even many hearts

While the hearts started singing
The city was brimming

Water once so scarce
Began to give a scare

Did I hear him pray?
For the rains to go away!

It’s not hard to tell
Why the rains don’t befall

We aren’t ready for the downpour
And when we really are hope it creates wonder

Making the city greener, better, richer and happier!
