DARE TO DREAM

Misty eyes during the day
Wet pillows at night.
Heart that always feels so heavy
Even though it feels hollow inside.Crumpled sheets on the bed
Tell tales of the restless nights.
Dark hollows under the eyes
enough to give a child a fright.Is this what they call heart break?
It breaks the spirit, not just the heart
The self esteem lies shattered
The helplessness just tears you apart.No love is worth this agony
No one is worth this pain.
The one you are pining for, is heartless
All your cries are in vain.So pick up the pieces girl.
Put back together your self esteem.
Life is bigger than a broken relationship
Yet again, dare to live and dare to dream.

SMILES AND SORROWS

 


Show me a heart that has not been broken
Show me a dream that did not die
Show me a hope that has not crashed 
Show me a doubt that has not questioned whyShow me an eye that has not shed a tear
Show me a soul that is not bruised
Show me a faith that has not faltered
Show me a goodness that's not been used.Show me a hero who does not have a regret
Show me a brave who was not scared
Show me a saint who has not sinned
Show me a sane who was never madThere is nothing perfect in this world
It exists but in stories and in tales
It exists in the eyes of the lovers
It exists only where the intellect failsA little sorrow makes the happiness complete
A little sun makes you appreciate the shade
A little rain is needed to bring out the rainbow
Smiles and sorrows are of what our life is made.

NURTURING

A tiny seeding
Cuts across the tough barrier
And peeps out say hello.
Victory for the little warrior!Sun shines down a sweet smile
Rain is a blessing after the strife
The wind gushes to greet it.
World welcomes a new life.Being born from the womb was easy
The challenge is to survive
For now it needs nurturing
It needs love to thrive.Someone to water it daily
Someone to mow the soil
Someone to protect it from danger
It's a lot of hard work and toilInto a beautiful plant it will grow
If it gets the right nurturing
The gardener has to keep caring
To keep it healthy and blossomingIt's the same with relationships
You have to nurture with love and care
It needs time,patience and involvement
Whenever needed, you have to be there.Not only when the relationship blossoms
But always, as slowly it gets deeper.
Like a gardener you have to tend to it.
If you want it to last forever.

WITH YOU

With you I want to go for a long drive
…having no destination in mind
With you I want to share a laugh
…reasons we will find
With you I want to watch a sunset
…and hold my sun in my arms
With you I want to fly to the moon
…and steal some of its charmWith you I want to sing a song
…to the melodious tune of our heartbeats
With you I want to talk whole night
…till the moon and the sun meetsWith you I want to have a fight
…for us to kiss and make up
With you I want to nap on the beach
…and to the sound of the waves wake upWith you I want to climb the mountains
…and gaze at the view in wonder
With you I want to spend my days
…with sunshine, rain and thunder

DON'T COMPLICATE

Keep it simple
is the mantra
for a peaceful life.
But is it that simple
to keep it simple?
The wandering wants and the titillating thoughts
cross the boundaries of reason
trying to wash you away into the vast sea of complications.
But why complicate?Tell that to the illogical heart
who knows what it would mean to fall into the abyss.
Never to be found again.Yet it falters.
And towards the untrodden waters it ventures.
Keep it simple, life is too short
to untangle the knot.
Once you are lost in the maze
and your heart strays
there is no deliverance.
You sink into the bottomless sea.
Never to be free.
Tied in shackles of complications
unfulfilled wants and impossible relations
Simple life, simple wants, simple desires.
Life is peaceful when simple and straight
So keep it simple, don't complicate.

BEING HUMAN

A child grows into a man or a woman but who is human?If you can wipe off a tear from a faceIf you can bring back the smile with graceIf you can tend a broken heart You are human
When you share your super with a hungry soulWhen spreading happiness all around is your goalWhen for a tired traveler you open your doorYou are human
Being human is not being a man or a womanIt is feeling the pain that’s not your ownIt is feeling the love for all Gods ChildrenIts serving the purpose of being bornBe human.

FROZEN MOMENTS

I reach out for the stars
Gather some in my in armsSome fall into my eyes.The moments flow like a shimmering riverIt whizzes past, but stays still in timeLike a memory frozen in the mind.
These moments , stolen from destinyThese are just for you and meIts when we grow the wingsAnd in the open blue sky, we flyNo borders, no boundaries, no bindingsFree to be lost in each other.
But moments are only moments,Fleeting, they don't last a lifetime.They are flickering like a fading lampAnd before we blink, its goneTo each our world, we returnThe moments as memories, frozen in our minds.

WHEN YOU ARE GONE

IF YOU ARE GONEIf you are gone,I will not mourn.
I will not ask why,I will not cry.I will sleep at night,wake at sunlight
Tell unfailingly black from white.I shall thank the Lord, for my daily bread
Snarl when hungry, smile well fed.I shall not want, I shall not yearn
Whatever life teaches, I shall learn.There will be no problem with my gait
My steps would sync,will walk straight.I will work hard to earn my living
To the needy and poor, I shall be giving.Weekdays I will work, weekends I rekax
Will pay all my bills and Govt. tax.But I will not mourn
For corpses have no life of their own.And I shall I not cry.
Coz there are no tears, once you die.For you see
I shall not die.....I shall be dead.

HER EYES DON'T SMILE ANYMORE

She throws back her head and laughs at the jokes
She smiles sweetly at all the people she knows
Her greeting is the loudest when she meets all the blokes
She parties hard as she drinks and smokesBut her eyes don't smile anymore....The man she loved just dumped her last week
She stifled a scream, no words did she speak
Oh,she cried some tears and her smile turned bleak
Then bounced back to life as if it was an incident freakBut her eyes don't smile anymore.....That's what happens when relations break
A part of us, with them, they take
The jingle from the laugh , or the charm of the face
She could somehow, through the ordeal make.But her eyes don't smile anymore......He said she will always be special, you know
But the words to her, sounded hollow
These lines are often said to soften the blow
She didn't argue, just went with the flowBut her eyes don't smile anymore.....They had not spent lot of time together
There was no ring, nor any courts paper
The moments they spent had seemed like forever
When he left, her own pieces she did gather.But her eyes don't smile anymore.......He will always, have a place in her heart
Even after he left her, he will still be her part
The scar on her heart will never depart
Though she is trying to make a fresh startBut her eyes don't smile anymore......

YOU HAPPENED

I was sitting at the dusk
Reflecting on the day
As the sun kept sliding 
making way for the moon....
The orange of the sky
Shimmering on the river below
Made a crimson hue
on the still watersI was silent, serene and satiated
Smiling to a some distant song
Playing far away in the recess of my mind
And then you happened.You made the dusk feel like dawn
As the sun decided to stay still
And the trees swayed to the melody
Of the nightingale's sweet songSerenity surrendered to strife
Between the mind and heart
The silence was marred by a thousands screams
That said " no" to you happening in my lifeBut since , in my life, you happened
the satiated smile was a thing of past
A discontent grew, fuelled by the desire
Restless spirit looking for rainbows at night.You touched my life
like a stone that made ripples
like an ache in my soul
like a longing unfulfilledYou happened for a reason
For now when I slip into the arms of night
I would have known what it is
To have an imperfect life and an unrealised dream.
