Life is Beautiful!!! Yes it is!!!

But,

It is still waiting, waiting since I know it

Waiting for that which I know does not exist,

Future of then,

Hasn’t showed me now

That which I thought was waiting here today.

I now want to see it in the past of day after.

Even day after will have it not.

And I have known it all.

Everything I do,

Is to get what matters the most.

And “to get” what has always been with me,

With me but still waiting,

For a glance of recognition

I look at it not into the eye

I look for “It”, into “Its” eyes.

I know it know, I have known it before,

I realise it now, I have realised it before

Face on face for that doesn’t matter

Face on face, still, for what matters the most.

Certain of uncertainty.

Certain of certainty as well,

The shadow of the former,

Makes life the way it always has been.

Enough is enough; I want to see u into the eye

Love u not for reason

Longing, no one else could wait that long.

And yet again I lose the game

This close and that for still…..

And yes!!!

You r beautiful

You r my self

U r and all that comes is a shadow of yours.

Day after, tomorrow, today

Naa, not any more,

This moment here it is and in the next and

Further u came along…………………..

Mere Raab ko Naman

2011-05-24T12:36:00.000-07:00

Aaj jo kehene lage toh shabd dhoka de gaye,

Doob gaye aakhon mein jaise, neer banker bah gaye.

Kya kahe unke bare mein jinhe, maat pita hum kehete hai,

Ghari ghari pal pal hum kritagya hue rehete hai.

Janam janam jo punye kiye the, inka humko saath mila,

Yug yug ki tapasya humari, inke roop Prasad mila.

Jag kyun puje ishwar ne, jaanu na main, main puju toh baat hove,

Aise ghar mein janam diya hai jaha swain tera was hove.

Prem swaroopi inhe banaya, apna roop inme sajaya,

Murat bhi jinhe mile wo bhagi, unka putra humein banaya.

Phoolon sa chehera dekhu unka, kali na koi khili aaise.

Ganga si vani roj sunu main, aab kya teerath, kava, kasha.

Budha, nanak kya bhaju main, saab ka such sang saath mila.

Gita, Kuran aap main hi, saab vedo ka saar mila.

Such ke baad dukh aave hai, suna hai maine kabhi.

Baat lekin sachi kahu main, dukh na maine dekha kabhi.

Baat jo juba se inkali, pal bhaar mein puri hui.

Maange bin kya kahu main har khwahish puri hui.

Laad karyo hai bahut lekin, jaarurat ki fatkar lagi,

Maati se moorat kiya hai, bin na hove maar kabhi.

Jhalke kabhi jo ek assshoon, aapka hiwada bhi roo diya,

Humaree khushi ke ek chan ko aapne apna taan man diya.

Prem mein chaha, prem mein manga, aisa bahut hai dekha m.

Prem mein saab kuch luta diya, aisa aur na dekha maine.

Haar swas se rin chukaye to bhi, suut bhi na de payenge,

Aatho yam raat kar ke bhi, ahyesaan apka na keh payenge.

Ek dua hi mukh se nikle, aur mangu toh baimanni,

Tu joo sath hai mere sath na kisi ka aur mangu.

Mera mujhme kuch nahi saabkuch hai tera

Tera tujhko saup du, kya lage hai mera.

Agar mujhme pran ho toh baas aapke hi naam ho.

Nazar hate is cehere se aab, yeh khata na hum kare,

Gunah se kam na hai agar, raab ke is roop pe palak jhapke.

Dear Friend

2010-07-16T22:15:00.000-07:00

No words said, No vows taken, No story created to remember.
No promises are made to stay forever.
No thoughts exchanged to be together.
All futile, all impuissant, as a prayer from an ungrateful heart.
What words and gestures could never dream of,
A reticent smile said it all.
Eyes brought me innocence, when the first time they met my friend,
Caring, sharing, its nature said my heart next time we met.
My being knew nothing beyond, the divine love when saw it dawn,
Static in dynamism my life that seemed set forth on a voyage
Melancholy of loneliness breaking it along.
I love you more than a mother, loves a new born, dear friend.
I cherish you more than a king cherishes its crown dear friend,
By my side you’ll always be I have no doubt,
Where you be you’ll remember me, you have no choice.
Happy be you, come what may, joyous be you is all that my orison pray!!

The Divinity

2010-06-29T03:00:00.000-07:00

THE DIVINITY

The glow, The charm, The elegance, The poise,

The grace that You so graciously shower me with.

The smile so enchanting, enslaving every prey, who gets to see You.

Your eyes always in Prayer of, graciousness and gratefulness,

Your form is the abode of the Goddess of beauty.

Your being is the serenity of lotus in water.

No ease it is to love dear mother,

And You just do it as Your very nature.

Your words if meant, enlightenment could dawn.

Your presence if felt, a dead would live along,

The Lord shall take care of me, why should He?

Sans duty the Lord remains since,

Divinity in You I saw, when it dawn.

Queen You are of mortals and Divine

If hearts are caged, where can the wings fly?

You paint the canvas with colors and oil,

Futile efforts You take, for reasons unknown,

Painted my life with rainbow of Your smile,

The world in owe of, to where You belong.

The twinkle of Your eyes Mamma, I know no God beyond,

Bless me with Your presence, till my breadths go on………………….

Unspoken love

2010-04-01T22:24:00.000-07:00

my heart really pains to see my class...which is a home to me in this condition...........i just pray for the things to change for the good

Home is where the heart is
And my heart resides in the third floor of Stephen court

Hours of learning, minutes of fun,
Seconds of shivers, light years they covered

Memories so dear, hover everywhere,
How? How? How could this happen to me?

Good begets good, childhood taught me young,
Old obsolete teaching, that’s the song that was sung.

The game that is, even at my house
Played, management, government commoners, participants all in vain.

Ah! My heart pains in sorrow, my cheeks wet in pain,
My hands together in prayer, Lord in surrender I remain.

Time brings distance, distance brings separation,
My being is bereft of time and distance, ignorant of the word separation.

The gross seemed forgotten, ungrateful never imagined,
The subtle lies there soaked in gratitude tears of gratefulness.

My hears weeps as much as yours, I know you don’t deny,
I know, you know, I love you the most, words need not try.

The lord with me my family resides.
I knew he would, take care, he had no choice.

Words never said, I was concerned,
Capable of explanations they are, not prayers of love.

Times testing our mettle will soon find its way out,
Perseverance, passion, commitment will never let my family down.

Prayers are powerful, said Jesus when He came.
Pure heart is pious, Krishna’s words still remain.

Krishna or Jesus said this one gospel fact…..
Faith can bring back death to life; good times will have to return.

I bow down to the commitment, unshakable as the Alps,
Alps may melt down someday, but the sun would never stop to burn.

My heart is yours, will always remain,
You are mine, I will always claim.

Times keep changing, it will still change,
But static in dynamism, our love would remain…………………..

Question and Answers

2010-04-01T21:36:00.000-07:00

These are some of the questions that were asked to parents at a premier school in New Delhi for their child's admission.......and these are my answers to these questions

Unreasonable indulgence by parents may produce undesirable effects

A river needs a dam to keep a check on it, or it causes destruction, but at the same time an excessive check leads to cracks even on the strong walls of the dam. Children are these waters, they have their own flow, parents are these dams to check the direction of flow, but an unnecessary interference my cause rebellion.
If imagination usually develops before the intellect. How will you nurture your three year old child?

Imagination is the doorway to creativity,

at such a tender age the bird of imagination needs to sore high. I would let my child unfurl its creativity by learning through Nature, through processes, at the same time I would guide the development of intellect of my child, by teaching him/her what is right and what is wrong.

Do you know that anxious fearful parent will cause anxiety and fear in his child? How do you see it? Explain.

Parents are the role models of their children and children are very likely to develop those qualities that are possessed or exhibited by their parents. Total lack of fear may lead to destructive tendencies. Like salt in food, little fear is required for one to be righteous. Fear and anxiety is love upside down, one is anxious for something one loves and is afraid of losing it, and this awareness helps me and will help my children counter fear and anxiety.

I give quality time to my children. Explain.

Children can find their best friends in their parents, but provided their parents are available to them when they need them, when they want to share something with them, and this is when parents can teach their child the basics of life, manners cultures and values, that’s how education at home takes place. This is quality time spent together where the child gets education in a subtle manner, and at the same time love and respect for parents manifold.

How important are values to you and how do you inculcate them in your child?

Imbibing Values is the most integral part of a child’s education, values form the foundation of a child’s future, education bereft of values is fruitless, and that individual gives no contribution to the growth of society or the Nation, which is the basic duty of every human being. I as a parent ensure that spiritual, moral, ethical and social values form the flesh and blood of my child’s character, thus not limiting his education to books but including yoga, meditation, spiritual practices, spiritual books, stories of great men and service to society even if it includes small things like feeding animals. Thus ensuring my child’s all round development.

2010-03-10T00:45:00.000-08:00

Streets I walked, paths I changed,
Destinations I crossed, milestones they became.

Paths deserted, streets universal,
All passed, none remained.

Crowded they were, alas! I was aloof,
Aloof in the game, game called life.

Truth is sorrow, truth is suffering.
Yes they are the rules of the game.

The heart is fatuous, the ticker is stupid,
As inane as it could be,

Reasons I give, feelings it demands,
Sorrow I preach, happiness it wants.

Charlatan is the world, happiness is a falsie,
Breadth is a valediction, silent as a smile.

Moving forward I reached the shore,
Tranquil I thought spurious as the rain,

Some picked fishes, some cupid for shells,
Something in common, all the timorous of the death

Death is the veracity, orison cannot delay
Fear of the truth, makes life a game.

Few used this secret, secret known by all,
Death is the epilogue; the book does not go on.

They dived the ocean, others just stared,
Some shocked and bewildered, others did not care.

Out came the hero, kissing the pearl
He kissed death alike, life had to return.

Eyes glowed in admiration,
Breadth burnt with jealousy,

Some left in frustration,
Some dived with inspiration.

I saw it all, I believe it now,
Happiness is a gift to the chivalrous.

Covetous I was, for joy to dawn
Now, I know where it belongs.

It lies within, covered with dust of pity.
I dive now, to give my heart, what it desires,

It desires love, desires respect.
Desires a death of dignity…………………………………..

A feeling

2010-03-04T22:58:00.000-08:00

You forgot, you betrayed
We spent hours together
What makes you not remember?
I love you you know that
You loved me why not now?

I have wiped your tears
What makes you hide your smile?
I was your friend, I was your lover
I was your relation beyond relations
And you claim to not know

You choose me, I did not choose
You came to me, I did not go
Together we will, forever be we decided
Moving ahead, leaving me behind, you decided

Think of me dear
Think of those days
Think of those moments darling…..
Were they all in vain?

Smiles you bought at the cost of my smiles
Love you bought at the cost of my love
Smiles you take, tears I have
Love is mine, you cannot buy

I love you, I will always proclaim
You loved me once, it will remain.
Lovers you make wherever you go,
You loved me once do I need more?

Angels incarnate for a moment of yours
Blessed I am, I have love of yours,
Lover, darling, mate, my love you are
Love you, Love you, Love you alas!!!!

Angel of Care

2010-03-04T22:18:00.000-08:00

The Almighty summoned me,
I immediately rushed to His care.
Sweating and panting He was,
A sight, I admit, not even rare.

‘Lord’ I said, He cut me short,
And said with a breadth that did not last.
The date is tomorrow, month is decided,
India the chosen land has always been”

“Work undone needs completion,
An obligation needs fulfillment.”
Shocked, bewildered, amazed I was,
Clueless as the mortals, when the day would last.

“The purity of Ganges is at stake,
The holy temples, sacred yet pale.
The wave of love once filled the air,
That land now needs an Angel to take care.”

“Time is an element even I cannot hold,
It’s passing by, turning Me cold.
Seconds bid farewell, My heart skips beat,
The World is waiting, the promise I need to keep.”

‘Lord, You are the Creator, the World is Your very own.
You are the source to which, all of us belong.
You have created Mountains and Rivers and Lakes,
Angels so beautiful and humans beyond compare.’

“Easy as you think. I wish it was,
It’s something very special, very close to my heart.
Parents as pure as breadth, sister another Angel,
Friends I will choose, personification of innocence.”

“Call the Moon to be Her face,
The Rainbow can fill the smile,
Call the Oceans to fill them deep,
The Sun that forms the eyes.”

“Nature My own I give Her now,
Yes, now I know, this is how.
Let Fragrance be Her name, the fragrance of My POETRY.
Oh! How I love, love the experience of It.”

“The work is done, the time is ripe,
The Angel is ready, to India will fly.
Humanity is in awe of Her beauty, Gods in awe of Her soul.
She is truly My Angel, My Angel of Care.”

I know you, I admire You.
I know you, I belong to You

I love You, give me a choice.
You love me, with a choice.

You smile, it invites dawn,
You smile, it melts rocks.

You smile, flowers feel shy,
You smile, oceans look dry,

You smile, moon’s not bright.
You smile, sun looses its light.

You smile, I am full.
You smile, world is beautiful.

You smile, I forget to cry.
.You smile, angels don’t fly.

You are the Master, You are the Masterpiece.
A history not so often repeated.

If Love has form, its none but Yours
You are Love personified.

A form to the formless,
Quite an impossible task,

You made it possible, how?
How do you define the infinite?

You are love. You are care.
You are happiness. You are bliss.

I accept God, only as You
Love You, respect You, ask me to die for You.

Your smile, just set me free
You smile, that’s why, I smile

Love in Friendship

2009-03-18T02:38:00.000-07:00

Love in friendship is like a candle in rose petals,
Adding charm to something that is extremely extravagant.

When asked, why friendship?
The Maker said,” To add Life to life”.
When asked, why Love in friendship?
The Maker now said, “To sustain friendship”.

A friend reads a thought,
A friend comprehends a feeling,
A friend shares the soul,
And fills life to the brim.

Love is the language of friendship.
The innocence of friendship is what lovers share in common.
Souls far apart unite in the firmament of friendship,
Bound with the threads of love
.
Fight, quarrel, shouts, silence
Fun, smile, laughter, happiness
Makes friendship as unique as it is.
Amity is enjoying life to its plentitude.
The purity of friendship emits the fragrance of love.
Friendship is love shared one hundred percent.

The feverishness of love,
Surrenders to the tranquility of friendship,
And makes life what it is,
Beautiful……………….

happiness

2009-03-08T22:31:00.000-07:00

Happiness is a smile on the lips of a stranger
Happiness is a frown on the nose of a child

Happiness is a quarrel between lovers
Happiness is love between friends.

So common yet so unique,
Oh Maker, how could You?

How happy is a breadth of air,
Who so selflessly surrenders itself.

Happiness enlightens darkness,
A candle when burns, loosing its identity.

Rain mingles with soil,
Spreading joy to millions.

Selflessness is happiness.
Selfishness is happiness.

Happy you are if you win.
Happier is the other, see you loose.

Tears are expensive,
Can’t shed except on occasions.

What cheaper than smile,
Can waste on anyone.

Loot me of my wealth, dear Angels if you hear me,
As you bring home happiness no wealth can buy.

UTSAV '08

2009-02-20T23:02:00.000-08:00

UTSAV KOLKATA, 08

“Love is seeing God in the person next to us. Meditation is seeing God within us." It taught to love yourself and to love others. Indeed the most appropriate line to describe the Utsav experience. Fourteen Hundred youth under one roof for a spiritual gathering, hats off to the idea. One vision, complete faith and hundred percent dedication, is all, that manifested in the form of UTSAV Kolkata, August 2008.
At one point of time Utsav seemed a fantasy, a possibility which certainly seemed impossible, but "addidas" puts it right, "impossible is nothing", and our two Yes+ teachers and a bunch of volunteers went all the way to prove it right. Managing, organizing, multi tasking, we did it all. Days which seemed really long in college classrooms, suddenly seemed to be running sort of hours. Sunset ignited panic every evening; it was a sign of one more precious day over. Time kept its pace which unfortunately registrations did not and at the end of July all we had was six hundred registrations. Offices we bunked, colleges we went but only for talks, ensuring the invisibility of the volunteer who was a student of that college and trust our parents if they say, they had no clue of where their children were the past twenty days, they actually didn’t.
The best was yet to come, an all India strike on the third day of Utsav. The dates had to be revised, those already registered had to be informed, the availability of Netaji Indoor Stadium (our venue for the course) had to be confirmed, and basically we were in a mess. We finally got dates frizzed which were 18th, 19th, 21st and 22nd of August, yes we had a break in between. And because of all this, the registrations suffered. Registrations did start coming but still the “Two Thousand” figure was far off and here came the icing on the cake, TRM scheduled on the last week before Utsav, talks had to be given, registrations had to come, id cards had to be distributed and out teachers had to leave, wow, couldn’t ask for more. Its now that the grace started working, conversions came from nowhere and everywhere, id cards were quite smoothly distributed and we finally crossed the four digit mark. Oh! What a sigh of relief.
Here came the D-day, and the two most amazing people landed in Kolkata, Bawa and Dinesh, they actually prove the point that opposite values is complementary, hats off to them. Just their mere sight made me realize that we were in for a treat. My realization was too small, treat was not the word, we had a blast. Fourteen hundred people together breathing to the rhythm of “SOHAM”, words cannot describe more. Vikram Bhayia was the cherry on the pie, without which the pie was certainly incomplete. The rock Satsang rocked every heart and soul present in the auditorium, and I can actually say, we couldn’t ask for more. The carefree confident smile which every participant was wearing on the last day paid off for all the hard work, it was eventually that what mattered.
Utsav, Kolkata was the most thrilling, exciting, learning and fun filled experience, unmatched. Nothing, simply nothing can ever come close to what Utsav experience was. Kolkata is rocking post Utsav, with known faces in every youth gathering, the seed has been sown and the harvest will indeed be beautiful, with Guriji’s grace.

Jai Gurudev

Smiles

2009-02-20T23:00:00.000-08:00

Smile

Smile is infectious, it spreads like flu, you smile, the other person starts smiling too. Yes that’s what we do at the two Seva Mandirs in Kolkata, we smile by spreading the smile. If innocence is to be personified, the kids at seva mandir can do the best job. More they teach us, than we teaching them, the kids there are smart, I must admit. I am certain God could not have made better examples of Love and Care, it’s a belongingness that each one of us visiting seva mandir share with each and every kid present over there.
Come the day of dancing and wow, the glow on the faces of those little flowers is to be seen to believe. Every moment over there is an experience of its kind, every bit of it is filled with love, fun and laughter.

Drawing is an art they all excel in. Its creativity at its best, least did we know that even a mango could be purple, and clouds could refill them under a water tap, the sun wears shades to save itself from the scorching heat and mountains cool themselves under water. They teach us the lesson that Nature has life and Nature needs to be preserved. With all “Noble” intensions we decided to paint the Seva Mandir in Garcha Slum. Oh my God, an experience non of us could afford to miss and by the way we did a fairly good job. Watching Bal Hanuman with those kids was a complete blast. They give us our week’s dose of laughter and fill our cups to the brim with love.

Integral part of our lives our these kids, we cant part with, their vacations make us sad, common three weeks without seeing those kids, not an easy wait. An initiative of Art of Living Foundation, Seva Mandir is a school imparting quality education to the kids in tribal areas, slums and villages. Along with quality education comes all round development in fields of art and craft, stitching, archery, they learn a lot more with a blend of spirituality. Our weekly visit is an attempt to keep the smile shining on their faces and in turn they broaden our smiles.

Jai Gurudev

celebrating Death

2009-02-20T22:42:00.000-08:00

The closest is even closer,
Once close at heart, is now close even in being.

The immortal is free of the mortal
And in Devine does He exist.

No source is needed, now to get close
As the source itself belongs to me.

Indeed stupid it seems that once words conveyed feelings.
Souls convey them now.

Oh my friend, I am celebrating,
I am celebrating your departure,

I am celebrating your meet with the Devine,
I am celebrating the closeness just felt.

Oh here they are, they always add the flavor.
Oh tears what took you so long?

See my friend is celebrating silence,
And here I bid adieu, I don’t need you anymore.

I want to celebrate,
Celebrate Death with my friend.

God's Message to Me

2009-02-13T02:32:00.000-08:00

You re my special, I did not give you a choice
Choice is among betters, I said
I sent the best for you, I claimed.
I love you, I care for you,
I had no choice but to send My Son for you.
With affection, I have created
With tears I sacrificed, only for you, I cried.
I sent Him before, you respect Him.
I made Him humble, you care for Him.
I taught Him tolerance, you love Him.
He will stand with you, till day lasts,
He will combat for you, won’t give a thought.
He is dear to Me, never make Him sad,
Love Him as a devotee, loves God.
He has learnt to give, not to ask.
You meet His needs, I pleaded.
It’s not easy to send a Son, in mortality,
A Son, most affectionate, most precious,
You are fortunate, I say, my son.
Once in ages, do I make such a sacrifice,
And I made it for you this time.
Adore Him, Love Him, Respect Him, even Die for Him,
Even then He stands superior, on a bench unmarked.
A person sacrifices food, you respect him.
A king sacrifices kingdom, you admire him.
An Angel has sacrificed His halo here.
You worship Him.
With a heavy heart,
Here I send My Son, as your Brother,
Gods are jealous, Humanity is blessed,
And what can I say to you,
Just know, you are special.

YOU

2008-12-20T23:07:00.000-08:00

He said, “Let there be Light” and there was You.
The Darkness of Loneliness, is what belonged to me,
You shed the rainbow, from your smile, into my Life.
You showed me the shape of Love.
You told me the symbol of Happiness.
You let me be a part of you,
And the Divinity belong to me.
Your smile can pour Love.
Your smile can melt Rocks.
Your smile can buy Kingdoms.
Your smile can shed tears,
Tears, every soul can drown in.
Tears of undying Love,
Tears of unmatched Gratitude
Your presence inspires Thought.
Your being unfurls Creativity.
You are Beauty personified.
I would not be a Rose,
I loose my fragrance.
I would not be the Moon,
I have scars in me.
I would not be Water,
I can’t mingle with all.
I would not be Sunshine,
I bring heat when not needed.
I would be You,
I would be the magic of His creation.
Ritika di, I would be You,
My Guru of Joy.

THE CHRISTMAS PARTY

2008-12-20T22:08:00.000-08:00

20th of December, a evening to remember.......for those who have seen my house.....there were 60 people at one time at my place, don't ask how. It was amazing fun, it was so nice to see the Yes+ group from all over Calcutta having a blast together. We played games, there was music and we were all screaming at the top of our voices. Once in a while my neighbors would peap out of there door but all they said was, "accha lag raha hai beta, maze karo", eh h...their expressions did not say the same, anyways we had fun. It is Ritika di's Birthday today, so we also celebrated it yesterday and made her cut a cake and we all sang for her, she was shocked. Oh ya the best part in a game i was "punished", and i was asked to propose a girl, and i did it in full style with a red rose in one hand and a candle in the other....it was as romantic as it could get........he he nice fun....it was a potluck and Devina had made an amazing cake, thank u Devina.....people were disappointed that i had not prepared something...the chef's delicacies are awaited for but then i did something with ice-cream and cookies and some chocolate sauce and it turned out quite good.....Basically, though it was a little cramped we still had a blast, and ya i promise a bigger venue next time, and something better from the Chef's kitchen.:-)

So Merry Christmas, and have fun

Mother Divine

MOTHER DIVINE

I just felt a sense of bliss,
In Your presence, dear Mother
Oh! How dearly You take care
Oh! How lovingly You are always there.

Sun kept me warm, dear Mother,
When the leaves were shed from the trees,
The aroma Your flowers created,
And the wind set me free.

I dance when You pour love from above
Oh! How loving could You be.
The harp sounds bitter,
When You start to sing and set the soul free.

Special every moment You make.
Celebration every moment You make.
You are the Love.
You are the Divine.

You personify joy.
You personify freedom.
God could not be accepted,
In any form but yours.

You accept, when others deny.
You show light, when I feel blind.
Happy I am, I know you are this.
You are the space and the world in it.

Mother Nature, I am a part of You
As I couldn’t be anything but You.
Even I am love, even I am divine
As I, belong to You.

FAIR LIFE

2008-08-29T11:27:00.000-07:00

............You say I should love Life,
Who will hate It then?
You say I should respect Life,
Who will ridicule it then?

If Life were a journey,
It would never end.
If Life were a droplet,
Won’t it always blend?

What defines Life is something I wonder,
I say It’s demanding,
You say It’s commanding,
He says It’s compromising.

Demanding or commanding,
Not compromising It is.

Life teaches not to worry.
Life teaches not to suffer.
Life teaches to make occasions,
And not wait for the world to right.

I won’t give you, snatch it from Me.
Who ever gets who waits?
I can’t take it, I don’t deserve it.

Life is a harmony of sounds,
A symphony which we create ourselves.
One wrong chord,
The harmony is disturbed.
One chord missed,
Can’t go back to It again.

Solus produces music
So does a choir.
In a choir ‘I’ is not there.
Solus is made of ‘I’.

Life is never unfair,
I just don’t know where the fairness lies. But who says,
It is not good this way?

Light has no meaning,
If not preceded by darkness.
And lips don’t smile,
If not moistened by tears.

loneliness

2008-08-29T11:24:00.000-07:00

Agony of loneliness is what I bear,
Why friend, even a foe should ne’er schlep what I log.

Oh when will the halcyon tranquilize my ticker,
Which is now a sea, a sea with perturbed waters,

Waters hitting my bosom, which bleeds from within?
The pains are immense, I cannot tote.

Fortuitous are those, that forgather,
Sympathy by exhibiting their wounds.

They bear pain for a jiffy, as the flint bears fire
My wounds I cannot show, my agony only I can bear.

How long am I to bear this misery of loneliness?

Mortals there are everywhere,
Not one with a soul I see.

Sans soul humans live on earth,
Can heavens quench my thirst?
Waiting, I have been for the time to ripe,
A paragon is what I am looking for.

In this kinetic world with it’s, Charlatan glitz and glamour
Impossible indeed, as I look for a true countenance.

But not everything my heart accepts,
And loneliness is the only comrade canonical.

Tears Sing

2008-06-28T19:26:00.000-07:00

If smiles could speak,
Tears would sing.

I smile, I spread Joy,
I weep, I share Sorrow,

I can drown with sorrow,
Can I swim with joy?

I die, I reach heaven,
I live, where do I go?

Hopes bind my breadth,
They wait for a moment to come,
A moment that will stay forever.
A moment that will never come.
That never stays, that never comes,
Says He,

What comes, does that stay?

Tears are my friends,
Never leaves me alone.
I smile, am afraid,
Tears will wipe me.
I cry I shed tears,
No one takes away from me.

Pious drops Indeed!
My friend they are,
I love them, I hate them,
I treasure them, I discard them.
They love me, they come back.

Again to be shed,
Again, to loose its identity,
Again, to drown in sorrow,
Again, to sing.

They sing for me,
I love them.
They sing for me,
Can’t stay without.
