Safe from all the harm

Don’t lose that smile, don’t lose that hope

When weighed down with troubles

Try not to drown with it

But let the troubles sink down

Without you inside

Emerge from each darkness

With a greater radiance 

Keep that smile

Keep you safe from all the harm!

The shining Truth

The heavily laden body

Weighed down

By the adornments

That covered  

The beauty within

She struggled

To bare all

And reveal

The shining truth

Healing the world

Sitting by her desk with a pen

She stared at the blank paper 

Many words came to her mind

Different images criss crossing

Perplexed, powerless, clueless

She looked around and saw

A statue that stood tall

In the silence it uttered

Many stories of the world

The hatred, the confusion

The disharmony, disillusion

The wounds and the cries

She listened carefully

Feeling the pulse of being

Her heart bled and love poured out

Spreading through the web of life

Healing the wounds of the world

Only a typhoon

Only a typhoon can replace another
To uproot everything completely
Without leaving a trace of the past
And live freely, joyously
Unaware of any pain!

Watering the garden

She tending many gardens
The plants flourished, bloomed
It made her happy,
The gardens were well kept
She wasn't  the lone one to tend these gardens
But  there was no one to water the plants
In her garden, to take care of it
She needed to water her own garden
Make it beautiful
To be happy and to spread the joy.

Eyes

The eyes that are merged with the cosmos
Heart beating in harmony with the pulse of life
The smile melted with universal love
Arms that embrace and body that warms you
The soul that connects and binds you forever!

Frozen memories

I look down at the world

Where I once lived

Engaging in lively chats

Laughing and playing

At times eager and shocked

Keen to hear about stories

Waiting for someone

The disappointments and pain

I look down at the world

Where once I got caught

Under the veil of life

Like a mother who lost her children

In the bloodiest battle

The world full of corpses

The mind still and frozen

With memories that you cant feel

Reacts

The fear, the threat, the danger
Surfacing around you
Each tiny point of your body
Reacts to the world
Even without your knowing
Making you live
The way you never wanted to!

Pick

A potpourri of myriad things

Life offers many scents

Some you may like

Others you may abhor

But you need to know 

Life doesn't try to hurt you 

You need to pick 

What is right for you 

And leave aside those 

That might hurt!

 

Slow down

As you walk, as you talk
Your mind goes racing
It wants that it wants this
There is so much to gain
There is so far to reach
Many things to solve
And many to resolve
The frantic look, crazy mind
Just pull the harness
And slow down
Slow down to walk together with life
To feel the peace and the joy!

She Ran

She ran, rushing to the door
With all the words
Gathered inside her
Eager to shower it
On him who waited
At the other side of the alley
But as she reached there
Her words froze
Unable to let them out
She swallowed them
With her tears!

Like tiny droplets of water

The love, the delight, the magic

All trapped in tiny droplets of water

Falling on the colocasia leaves

Which holds them in its palm

Without getting wet

And letting them roll out

Without leaving any mark on it!!

Open cage

She opened the door of the cage
The one inside her heart
Allowing her pet bird to fly
Freely without being bound
By the strings of  her heart
She let the bird free
Waiting for it to return
Into the the open cage
Whenever it wishes
To feed on her love
