caring arms

came into the world with a loud cry
but soon learnt to smile
life looked bright and nice
cuddled up in mamma's caring arms

so many people moving here and there
pausing to give a nice warm smile
life looked bright and nice
cuddled up in mamma's caring arms

the world got bigger as i began to grow
saw more shades that were bright and grey
but there was no moment to ponder
as life lead on with all its force

too many hues and too many images
not always all that pleasant
the bright, piercing blinding lights
forcing my feet off the ground

the fear the uncertainty and the void
made me search for those caring arms
that gave me warmth when i just arrived!

When

When the world became too little
Rose the feeling to rise above
Breaking the bond from the ground
Floating among the clouds
Fully enamoured by one's own vision
Blind to the innocence and pain
Of the kind,loving souls.

It rained last night!

Last night it rained
The earth quivered
As the tiny droplets
Fell on it as though
They were caressing her
Loving her and assuring
Of the beauty of life
The earth bloomed
As new Life sprouted
Bringing in new colours
And new fragrances
She revelled in joy
But soon the rain drops turned red
The world turned a battleground
With bloodshed all around
And beauty lost, happiness unfound
She looked on with deep unbearable pain
Tear drops and blood making her quiver again!

Forgive me...

Forgive me if i am not sweet
It is because i am not meant to be sweet but to be honest

Forgive me if i dont smile
It is because i am nothing but a reflection of the world around

Forgive me if i dont extend my hand
It is only because my hands are too weak to render any support

Forgive me if i dont understand your tender feelings
It is because i am tough treading rough troughs

Forgive me if i dont take your word
It is because i dont trust anybody but myself

Forgive me if i hurt you
It is because i fail to understand feelings

Forgive me if i dont share with you
It is because i am too close to myself

Forgive me if i am rude
It is because truth can be bitter

Forgive me if i dont laugh with you
It is because i can't laugh when i see pain

Forgive me if i dont chat with you
It is because life is too deep for shallow talks

Forgive me if i am indifferent
It is because i dont understand life

Forgive me if i dont know the ways of the world
It is because the world is too much for me

Forgive me if i wrong
It is because it is human to err

Forgive me for all my faults
It is because i am not perfect!

The show got over!

The show got over and everything came to a stand still
The seats were empty without the animated faces
That filled the hall untill a while ago
The bright lights that lit up the evening were turned off
Darkness loomed all over, as he groped in the dark
Aimlessly with an empty but heavy heart

The stage that was brimming with great energy
As the artist moved vibrantly, creating
Celestic images to the soulful music;
The divine melody that reverberated all around
Is now abrubtly shrouded by silence and darkness
As though life has just been snatched away

He was happy and had people all around him
But now he was left all alone, not knowing
Where to go nor what to do; His heart empty but heavy!

Everlasting bliss!

When even the butterflies cheat
What's there in the world to look for
But wait for the end of the road
Whereby you will be liberated into
A whole new world of everlasting bliss!!

Not afraid!

In the silence the words were clear
In the darkness the image was near
The voice that came straight from the heart
The vision that captivates you like art
Like an ocean that's calm and wide
The men who have cut their chords fine
Not afraid of the solitude, darkness and quiet!

Defeat

She might have lost the battle
But she deserves an olive crown
For her faith and her love for life!
The winner might get all the glory
But hers is a story of survival
Which the fainthearted could read!

Mirror

Delving deep, she discovered
That there is nothing
Which she could call her own
The world, the feelings, the people
All were nothing but an illusion
A reflection of the temporary life

As the world unfolded infront of her
She reflected the vivid images
Like a gleaming mirror
Without any image or song of its own
There was nothing in the world
That she could change or possess!

Words of Burden

They were just words
The only things that she had
It told her story
Of how she felt within
Love, longing, joy and pain
And all that her heart knew

While the world longs for some love
She gave away all that she had
Words of love, longing, joy and pain
Said without any restrain
Life burdened by her words
He begged to be left alone!

March ahead

something doesnt seem to be right
you can't put yourself behind
nothing else should matter but you
for you need to lead on your own
pulling thyself of all the troubles

there is no need to hesitate
nobody is going to stay
march ahead, you will feel stronger
you will see the light in the end
destiny waiting for you with open arms!

Inner voice

There was a voice that I could hear
Coming from nowhere and trying to say
Something that I didn't want to hear

I carried on without caring
And took that hasty step
Despite the warning that I heard

Yet again the damage was done
Misery brought about by an hasty act
Wish as always in the end
That I heeded to my Inner Voice!

For the Kind Brave Souls

This is for the kind brave souls
Who stopped by at the busy junction
To help ease out the traffic chaos

These are the souls that you seldom find
Whom you need to build the nation
Those who keep their self aside
For the better of the world!
