I am the ladybird
I carry vibrance in me
I am the bee
I carry sweetness of honey
I am the firefly
I carry glow of hope
I am the dragonfly
I carry dreams from this world to the other
I am the butterfly
I carry softness of colors
I am all, everything is me
I am nature, I carry life
I am love, I carry your soul
***
they see me smiling
they see me taking my breaths
they see me doing my chores
they see me never stopping
yet they don’t see me
dying within
life – a little too long
a test infinite
never ending
I’m not sure
if winning matters
anymore
at all
****
the night with the stars infinite
beautiful once with its own darkness
fascinating for its eternal bliss
kept me intrigued for a little too long
filled me deep for years too many
sometimes with shine, at times with dark
the time now, has colored my hair grey
the night still the same with twinkling stars
yet not as pretty as long ago
it now has become my habit
its beauty now – monotonous to me
****
leaving them craving for more
I am not writing any further
I am breaking the chain of thoughts within me
asking for their forgiveness
I am leaving the poem UNFINISHED
****
as she walks on the road
they stare at her legs
they smile lustfully
as they imagine her curves
they wink to each other
as they whistle to tease her
offering shameless invitations
they pass filthy comments
as she tries to avoid them
they go close, try to touch her
and when she rebels
they end up calling her a slut
isn’t it fucking crazy
****

shall we all make a choice today
shall we all hold love in our embrace
shall we all let the hatred be gone
shall we all choose to care for the needy
shall we all try to heal this broken world
shall we try not to let any more tears to be shed
shall we all connect to the humans around
shall we prove to our own selves
how capable of compassion we all are
shall we stand in union, shall we raise our voice
against the cold wars, against cruelty
shall we let all the weapons to be buried
shall we choose to produce grains over bombs
shall we feed the hungry children in the world
shall we not aim a gun at their innocent faces
shall we all keep our caste and religion aside
shall we all accept humanity to be our God
shall we remind ourselves today
we were all born simply HUMANS
and shall we all try to remain so

i was busy collecting the pieces of my life
i was wishing to put them all together
i needed to learn all that i had gathered all these years of my life
i could find nothing, it didn’t seem meaningful
and i started to put the pieces back again
trying to change their position this time
adding the new pieces that i found during the course
guess what my dear
i am still doing it, putting them all together
but i have now learnt
not to look for the answers
****
a child, as she learnt to speak a few words
asked her mother an innocent question
mommy “what do they mean by HATRED”
mommy chose to keep silent
she never answered the question
the child grew up into a beautiful soul
she only had love and kindness in store
she spread it all around the world
we now call her Mother Teresa

a man
fantasized to drive a lamborghini
he refused to compromise
to settle for a car any lesser
*
another man
fantasized – to walk by the roadside
he dreamt – of running on his own legs
poor him
he couldn’t do without a wheel chair
*
my heart cries to know
their understanding of luxury
****
The GHOST – told me a joke
I laughed
I pretended to laugh
for I didn’t want him to learn
I was shit scared of his presence
and in the meantime
the GHOST enjoyed
cracking jokes all night
****
04I have seen them rejecting
I have seen them honoring
the color of the human skin ?
white, brown or black
to decide people’s fate !
must I say – how rubbish !!
how low have we all gotten
how rotten have our minds become
wish, I could put a stop to it all
I wish, I had one color of humanity
I would fill my tub over and again
until I paint each soul with the same
*****
I wanna be silly.. I wanna be silly
I wanna run like crazy with my hair open
I wanna let the wind kiss me for long
I wanna see people looking at me in awe
I wanna see them smiling back at me
I wanna be silly.. yes, I wanna be silly
I wanna go hug the tigers in the wild
I wanna sit on an elephant and take a ride
I wanna climb up those trees like a monkey
I wanna jump and hop around in the woods
I wanna be silly.. am I silly enough yet
I wanna drape long curtains around my body
I wanna imagine myself on the moon
I wanna shout out my inner voice to the world
I wanna tell them all, yeah
I could be really silly sometimes
today being one of those days
am I silly enough yet?
*****
Shall I keep you hanging in the middle
Shall I keep you wondering the whole night
You’ve asked me for my hand
let me not say a “yes”
let me not say a “no”
I am loving to tease you a little
I am smiling now
as I tell you “maybe“
silence around me was divine
I felt the woods around
long tall trees beautified with climbers
flowers of all colors covered the leaves
an image emerged
as I looked at the surface of water
in a boat I sat to cross the river
somehow my loneliness never wanted to leave
it urged me to stay alone for some more time
to enjoy my time with only me that night
to keep rowing the boat I sat in
in the middle of the river
looking at my own image
on the surface of water so pure
****
must I push
my determination
to workout
without any rest
*
the size
of my dreams
is simply PHENOMENAL
****
you killed me slowly
you made me die
every moment, each second of my life
I couldn’t scream
my voice didn’t help
I was silent all this while
kept talking to myself
when it got too much
you never would change, I had learnt
you never would stop, making me bleed
to my wounds, you shall never pay heed
I then made my effort to collect myself
I started to sew all pieces of my soul
I wanted to become whole once again
I just wanted to live, my heart realized
must I say it wasn’t easy
I accept, it took me a while
but I had to do it, you left me no choice
it was then my dear, I inspired myself
with all my will, I started
my journey to Undie
*****
must we sing the song of the fire
must we bow to the flames rising high
must we not be scared of their glow
must we inhale their luminance dynamic
must we give in our sins to the inferno
must we envision the passion it hides
must we find pleasure in it’s powerful embrace
must we begin to end the peccable
must we start with ourselves today
must we build a heaven for everyone to stay
each living soul on the earth must sing
sing, the song of the fire in union
****
“Sam come here”
“No, I won’t”
“Sam, please come here”
“No, I won’t”
“Sam, I got a surprise for you”
“What is it! What is it”
“Sam, you first come here”
“First you tell me the surprise”
“Sam! it won’t remain a surprise if I tell you now”
“I am not coming, unless you tell me what is it”
“Oh Sam! you are impossible”
“So are you Samantha”
****
a mother carrying a new life in her womb
the power of the cells to heal a wound
thousands of stones put together to build a tomb
countless leaves giving life to the tree
cocoon holding caterpillar, setting the butterfly free
peak of the mountain covered with flawless snow
skin of the earth bathing in sun’s glow
aliens sleeping or planning to visit their neighbors
fire in the stars and their gigantic existence
thousands of languages we speak to communicate
expression of the artist in everything they ever create
dreams that we live in the other side of the world
life that we relish when we keep blinking our eyes
this all and much more that makes me wonder
would the list ever be complete or will it ever end
of that – what fascinates me
****
those were the days
I’m craving for those days
when the list of my treasures was simple yet unique
a peacock feather, dried rose in my book
snacks cooked by my mother every evening
a book gifted by my grandfather
those were the days
I am craving for those days
when we tried to catch the drops of rain
played in mud with a bunch of kids
with no urge for no television
when an iPad would have sounded a miracle
those were the days
still craving for those days
when we relished the fragrance of flowers around
when we welcomed the warmth of the sun
when we didn’t need any gadgets around
when we connected to each other the human way
those were the days
I wish I could just bring them back
I wish I could offer them to the children of today
to make them see, to understand
the real pleasure of life
***
the sun craved to set in my arms
the moon urged me to look at it just once
stars wanted to be lit by my light
flowers asked me for my fragrance
honey bees came to me for sweetness
life ran after me to hold it’s hand
miracles started to happen around
when I started to believe
in ME
****
Do you see
brothers killing their own brothers..
Do you see the Guns
to protect the Humans
from Humans..
***
complicated are those machines
they call them GUNS
I struggle
to understand their purpose
is it to help the man
or to kill him
***
lying on that bed in the ICU
wires attached to every inch of my frame
the continuous sound of the machines around me
that beep beep killed me every moment
I could see them all around
the nurses, the doctors who came to check on me
their discussions sounded so heartless
for them I was just another patient
the one with no hope of surviving
only a miracle would bring me back
they had told my mother, my father
I was dying, I so wanted to live
desperate to get up to wipe off their tears
how I cursed myself to be the reason
to bring such pain for them to handle
I wanted to scream, I wanted to move
my helplessness laughed at me every moment
that day arrived, when I closed my eyes
even the ventilator couldn’t make me breathe anymore
that day when my soul left my broken bones
I promised myself never to go into Coma again
****
Will you be my smile, will you also be my tears
I need you to be my fragrance
I want you to be my odour
will you be the shine in my eyes, will you also be my sadness
I need you to make me fly
I want you to take my wings
will you teach me to love, will you also teach me carelessness
I need you to show me the path
I want you to block it sometimes
will you please give me company, will you also be my loneliness
I need you pamper me like a child
I want you to be my annoyance
Are you displeased my dear
are you surprised to see my wishes
are you wondering of the reason
of how could I be so stupid
Then let me tell you my love
I don’t wish to spare even a bit of me
I need you to be every side of me
be it good, be it ugly, be it happy, be it sad
I want you to, only YOU – to fill me
every portion of me
will you please my dear
will you please fill me – with You
***
one day my dear.. one day
it will all happen
the day shall come
when I too will have a smile on my face
I too shall speak to the sun and the stars
flowers shall blossom to present me with their beauty
the birds shall sing as I would want them to
one day my dear.. one day
the rainbow shall appear as I would please
the rain will fall only on me
I shall jump with joy, I shall soak my soul
sweetness, shall drip off me
one day my dear.. one day
that day when you shall be in my arms
when I will hold you forever
and shall speak out my heart
that day my dear.. that day
I shall tell you the secret I am yet to reveal
that I Love You beyond myself
***
endless promises…
each one of them – broken
was his gift to her..
Never did he fail
to present her with them
She
accepted them all
with a smile on her face
***
would you give me your hand
let me hold you today
let me come a little closer
let your glow shine in me
would you smile for me my dear
did you know you are my angel
your touch fills me with life
your voice is my favorite music
you hold all the power
to bring the world to me
I fail to be without you
I just can’t be
would you promise to hold me forever
I urge you to complete me
****
he broke me into pieces so small
I couldn’t recollect myself
even after years of mending
how deep I must have been pierced
how painful was my journey
thorns spread all over my path
and I wasn’t allowed any shoes
I bled the way so silent
no one knew of my suffering
I wouldn’t have cared if it was the whole world
but it was him – who snatched my soul
it was him – who made me who I am today
nothing by a Psycho
****
in a calm serene night
the wind decided not to progress
trees stood in silence
welcoming the Moon
gleaming silver rays
traveled their way
to bathe the angels
nourishing them with purity
water in the lake glowed with shine
a sight so rich, so charming
it hid all the pain behind
& no one seemed to notice
the scars
on the face of the Moon
I am not what they think I am
I am much more
I am a soul
I have a heart
I feel pain
I have desires
I am not just what they think I am
I am much more
I am someone, in Love
****
walking through the deserts – I burnt my skin
crossed the forests for miles – I climbed up the tallest of trees
there were oceans on my way
I crossed them swimming with the whales
from the top of the hills – I jumped many times
many years I have spent – I have come far enough
my life hasn’t been perfect – I must accept
still it keeps me going – it never stops
and that’s one thing – I love about my life
****
LOVE is the CURE for ALL
LOVE is the EMBRACE we CRAVE
LOVE is the RITUAL must we FOLLOW
LOVE is the HUNGER deep within US
LOVE is the COLOR must we BATHE in
LOVE is the SUGAR sweetest of ALL
LOVE is the BITE must we SWALLOW
LOVE is the DIVINE pulling us from SINS
LOVE is the UNIVERSE we are a PART of
LOVE is the ULTIMATE
LOVE is ME
****
stars wore a garland of diamonds
holding the beads they danced in the sky
were they happy or they were crying
I couldn’t decide as they shed snow flakes
a union of sparkle and of those white tears
images were formed as my eyes could witness
one after the other they changed in the sky
a mother singing a lullaby to her new born
sisters playing and laughing together
a son burying the coffin of his father
two lovers looking into each other’s eyes
such a sight I may never see again
all emotions being played one after the other
all that I could strongly feel in that moment
I lived a full life that night
just by looking into the sky
***
Driven by our will
blessed with the power of the brain
each one of us is a warrior
fighting our own way
only one thing needs to be realized
if we are giving ourselves
for the GOOD or the DEADLY
****
politics driven in the name of religion
countries being broken
the world divided into bits & pieces
communities pushed to demand autonomy greater
leaving the humanity wounded, bleeding to death
a few kings ruling the rest of the millions
gripping the power, never let it to leave their hands
feeding youth to walk against their own will
pushing them to shed blood, feasting on it
a dirty, rotten game of the thrones
played in the dark by the darkest of the minds
building up a hell on this very earth
rather, making the earth itself
a living Hell
when I turn fifty
I wonder sometimes
how would I see the world
with the same eyes of mine
my bones would be fragile
wrinkles would emerge on my skin
would I need a few pills to sleep
would I still relish delicious cuisines
then I tell myself
when I turn fifty
I would rather travel the world
I would taste the best wine around
I would laugh to make people laugh
I would spread love and positivity
no, I wouldn’t be fragile or weak
my heart would still be young
when I turn fifty
****
I am not perfect
but then no one is
with my own flaws
many of them
still I carry something
that’s beautiful
it is my love for you
that’s true forever
growing with each passing moment
so tell me my love
will you excuse my flaws
for my love too deep for you
will you take me the way I am
****
wrinkled bed sheet
red lipstick on the pillow
hair undone
clothes on the floor
shoes lying unpaired
two glasses of wine
one empty
another containing a few more sips
casually lying omega on the side table
music system stuck with a track
naked bodies curled together
eyes a little puffy for lack of sleep
lips smiling kissing each other
welcoming love
with a beautiful morning
to repeat last night’s experience
readying to make love
one more time
***
wish, I could hide my face in your arms
wish, you held me close against your chest
wish, your broad shoulders could give me some rest
wis,h your lips had kissed my forehead
wish, your fingers had caressed my hair
wish, your gentle touch had made me feel safe
wish.. I really wish
you cared a little
of my falling tears
****
silenced from the sight of bloodshed
blasting bombs, the sound of the guns
screaming people running for their lives
houses on fire, broken, wounded
loosing the strength, the buildings falling
silenced from the wounds of the city
the city of war, dying a swift death
thousands dead, lying on the roads
and those who survived
turning to become zombies
starting a journey slow & gruesome
for them nothing remained
but to live their lives in utter agony
silenced, never saying a word
asking thmeselves, why didn’t they also die
why a few of them had survived
survived, to live their death
every coming moment of their lives
chasing dreams
chasing coins
chasing comforts
chasing fame
chasing what’s not mine
chasing what others hold
chasing greedily
chasing blindly
becoming blind to what I own
not chasing a smile
not chasing the beauty
not chasing the values
not chasing peace
being dumb to happiness
the true essence of life
*****
I need to wash away the dust in my eyes
It made my vision blurred
I couldn’t see the truth
I need to cleanse my thoughts of evil
My cravings, my desires
How greed filled me, empowered me
I need to run away from the shadows of the ghosts
Dark and dull filling in the air
I need the sun to swallow the clouds
That were cold, heartless & gloomy
Crawling their way to my heart
I need to wake up from the deep sleep
The sleep that’s turning me into what I am not
I just need to be free of all boundaries
No objections, no limitations for me
Need to witness a little magic in my soul
I just want to be pure like a child
I just desire to be reborn
****

I wish the moon to jump its way
I wish the sun to cool down for a while
I wish the stars to come a little closer
I wish to see a little magic in the sky
I wish the rainbow to change its colors
I wish the clouds to form a palace
I wish the rain to bathe us of divinity
I wish the ocean to shine too bright
I wish the birds to learn to swim
I wish the trees to walk a bit
I wish the mountains to bow for once
I wish the fish to learn to fly
all of this and much much more
a list of my wishes somehow eternal
to make them come true for even once
guess I need to travel to the world another
the world another, a world impossible
travel my way the Fantasy land
*****
I can make the rain to fall
I can make the forest to dance
I can make the sun to feel shy
I can make the wind to hide
I can change the color of the moon
I can make the mountain to bow
I can make the storm to melt
I can make the rainbow turn golden
I can make your blood colorful
I can turn a demon to an angel
I can match the speed of a shooting star
I can vanish all the moon’s scars
Believe me …
I can do magic… I am an Artist
I am – the magic myself

His hands soft and gentle on her skin
treating her like the goddess of beauty
exploring her curves
exploring her deep
making her moan in pleasure
craving for more
his lips leaving kisses around her neck
his tongue mingling with hers
tasting her mouth, her sweetness
his body pressed gently against hers
feeling her warmth
consuming her pleasure
their breathing growing fast & heavy
as they become one, attached
no spaces meant, left between them
as they make love to each other
reaching the peak of pleasure
and then
lying by each other’s side
sleeping in peace
like a child
***
she was born out of the man’s rib
her bones fragile
her muscles holding not much power
her body slender, soft not masculine
she was considered not strong but weak
she was forbidden the things men would do
often she was told to resist her desires
was laughed at for shedding tears
she was asked to stay behind the doors
was used as a piece just to provide pleasure
she was called a machine that produces children
she was being hurt, raped, got killed every moment
fools were they, for not realizing her worth
fools were they not to praise her courage
fools were they not to respect a woman
fools were they not to know of her power….
….the power to gulp the pain in silence
the power to remain calm and not get violent
the power to cross a path full of thorns
the power of love she held in her heart….
she was selfless when she loved her man
she was affectionate when she loved her children
she stood by her family each moment
how could someone ever call her weak
SHE seems to me the STRONGEST
*****
soft blue eyes with no fake lashes
lips so pink beating any gloss
smile so genuine, felt deep within
long hair kissing her shoulders softly
as I look at her, praising her beauty
I end up telling myself all the time
could anything be more stylish ever
more stylish than her simplicity
****
as I praised the darkness
the light shone upon my soul
as I praised the clouds
the rain cleansed my thoughts
as I praised a mother
her children started to follow me
as I praised the weak
they revealed the warrior in them
as I praised the wind
it became soothing against my skin
as I praised the ocean
it gulped all my sins
as I praised the almighty
I saw the path to selflessness
and as I praised my love
we became one soul
****
I stood in silence
witnessing my heart breaking
pieces falling to the ground
like a broken glass
spilling my blood all around…
I tried to gather them all
like a puzzle, I struggled to put them together
it pained as I couldn’t find a way
just couldn’t bring them to my heart’s shape
even after countless attempts – I failed… I failed
now I am here
I am here to ask you for the key
to help me, Un-break my heart
to make it whole once again
****
under the blanket of a million stars
lying on the grass, looking up in the sky
watching the unstopping twinkling
leaving a shiny reflection in my eyes
filling my soul with contentment
assuring me of the presence of someone
out there watching over a little tiny me
releasing energy enormous
telling tales of their existence
confirming openly
we sure are not alone in this universe so massive
****
I am deep within your soul
hiding, beating every moment
I was given the job not just to keep you alive
but to make you live
I feel all your emotions, be it pain or joy
I carry inspiration, I make you aspire
I bring that smile on your face
I bring those tears to your eyes
I ask you to be lonely at times
sometimes, I give you wings to fly
I make you powerful, I fill you with enthusiasm
I tell you to be gentle
I make you fall in love
you never see me
I am still beating in you
I am your tiny heart
I rule you
*****
I sing – the silence in me
I celebrate melancholy
I do not let my tears to fall
I tell to my heart a little too often
pain is companion, it is no enemy
I let my loneliness give me company
I need no joy to feel complete
I am beyond happiness

darkness gulping it all
the light of hope fading
being consumed slowly
like a Geenie filling the jar

I am here still determined
fighting the black hole

whether you tried, or you didn’t

did you fail or succeed
whether you are smiling or shedding tears today
it’s never too late my dear
to start afresh
the world may have gone much ahead
you may be struggling to match the pace
you may or may not win this race
but it’s never too late my dear
it’s never too late
they may make fun, they may laugh at you
they may enjoy to see you struggling
they are naive, too foolish to know your worth
must you never loose your charm
their foolishness doesn’t deserve your time
you must never give up to start afresh
for it’s never too late my dear
it’s never too late

body of a goddess
these curves flawless
soft long hair swaying
spreading fragrance
eyes deep and dark, telling many tales
skin so soft, shining like gold
pink lips inviting to kiss
watching you move around

a poet’s muse

Dreams, many dreams
all of them – caged in a jar
dreams of heaven and those of hell
dreams of passion and those of common
dreams of lust and those of attraction
dreams of desires and those of hatefulness
dreams of the hills and those the depth of the ocean
dreams of rising and those of many falls
dreams of laughing and those of many screams
dreams of the ghosts and those of the fairies
dreams of the kings and many of their slaves
dreams of the children and of the wrinkled people
dreams of the birds and those in the wild
dreams for a reason and sometimes for no reason
giving a chill, sometimes so pleasurable
mysterious how they are, revealing much at sometimes
making one go crazy – dreams dramatic

as you hold my hand, you shall
my soul gleams with shine

****
Living in a world
With no compassion
People, with guns in their hands
Their minds full of disgust
Hatred, overflowing
Their eyes, ready to cheat
Everyone who could be cheated
Their words cruel, hurtful
As they open their mouth to speak
Their brains so full of greed
Wanting enormous power
Their mindset inhuman
Not allowing others to make any choices
Breeding a generation like their own
Their children following their path
Not realizing, their attitude
Becoming poisonous
Creating
A society so Empty
That’s never to flourish
But to die
A painful death
&
To fill the emptiness
With nothing
but
dead bodies all around
I chose silence over scream
gathered all pain in my heart
surprised I was to see its potential
how much more could it absorb
I was scared, yes I was
soon the day shall arrive
this heart of mine shall explode
releasing uncountable tears
poor pretty heart
sure belongs to a brand rare and rich
consuming stabs of fate
is still working fine
still beating in hope
for a little happiness
#pain #poetry #happiness
could you stretch
expand your scope
would you give up all your limits
for that someone in hope
could you loose
all that you got
could you put yourself to pain
to give life to the unknown
when for you
there’s nothing to gain
not for love
for no emotions
could you just do it
to hold erosion
the secret lies
in what you decide
a few to say “Yes”
rest all shall watch in silence
to witness
how really are the heroes made
She felt the hesitance in her daughter’s words
as she spoke to her softly
“Mommy, can I ask you about a secret
my friend at school told me of it yesterday
the daughter’s hesitance made mom, worry a little
she asked her to let her know of her secret
the daughter went ahead asked mom, about a girls periods
what would it mean, how would it feel
when will she start with it, she wanted to know
Mother could sense daughter’s fear as she spoke
to know of the girl’s thing had given her a blow
Mother decided to soothe her child a little
told her it wasn’t a big deal, it was only natural
yes, she still may have a couple of more years
Mother promised to prepare her before she would start
an important thing she told her to make her feel easy
never to be shy, or be ashamed of it
it’s a fact biological and the world knows it all
must she take pride to be a smart girl
Mother was relieved to see her daughter’s relief
as she hugged her & told her, she now felt better
there was now courage, a little strength in her speech
she spoke now confidently, without any fear
Mother made the daughter to promise her one more thing
never would she hesitate to come to her
for any such questions she ever may have
Yes, the mother is preparing her girl to be bold
She takes pride in raising her
with openness of thoughts
Is there a way
is there any way
no! there is no way
no possible way
but there must be a possible way
of million ways which are not the way
there must be just one, atleast one way
that one way which is beyond special
that one way which will make it all possible
so
I am not just gonna sit back and watch
I am gonna go ahead with that one way
and prove to myself
that having No Way at all
is not my way
it was never my way
forbidden of happiness
each moment of her life
today, she lay in her own space
a space too packed, with her lifeless body
she now lay in a gleaming coffin..
only the angels now know
of her pain
my helplessness
laughs at me
teases
my character
how
i made it
so effortless
for them
to hurt me too deep
thoughts
juggling in my mind
going up
coming down
sure, I am screwed
do I laugh
do I cry
my powerlessness
to decide
should I tell her
or hide my secrets
for a little more time
thoughts
juggling in my mind!!

that door was false
I was told all my life
it was the door to the heaven
today, my soul leaves my frame
just to prove to me
heavens have no doors
clearly
the door was false

I wonder sometimes of the passion of a child
how they find glory in the simplest of the things
how they could smile for no reason at all
their hearts so kind unaware of the hatred
their bodies so soft yet so energetic
never they would fail to find a reason to laugh
innocence unmatched teaching lessons to many
finding their joy in catching butterflies
their eyes so beautiful not to see the rich or poor
all they got is love in store for all
dreaming of the mountains and the waterfalls
flying high in the sky with no wings at all
how vulnerable yet the most powerful
I wonder sometimes of the passion of a child
how they are passionate about the real thing
just Happiness
and nothing else

all dressed up for the wedding
I sat right next to the bride
the storm inside of me growing
trying to find its way through my eyes
my beautiful dress somehow colorless to me
golden necklace made me breathless
sitting in the crowd today
I learnt how lonely could I become
my friend, the bride glowing with shine
the groom’s love for her made her divine
she asked me many times if I was O.K.
she somehow sensed my gloominess
after all we were the best of friends
I forced myself to hide my tears
even though my life was about to become dark and dull
I still couldn’t afford to let her down
I had promised myself never to reveal
that I was in love with the one
she was about to marry
***
Let me wish you a smile today
Let me urge you to be your stronger self
Let me remind you of your beautiful dreams
Let me ask you to go grab your will
Let me be your friend today
Let me be your angel my friend
Let me bring a little happiness to you
Allow me my dear.. Would you?

09The kings of politics all around the world,
Thriving for power, greedy for land and gold,
Pretending to make their people to grow,
Pretending to sweat for their country,
The reality is instead shocking, pitiful,
Filling their pockets with coins of gold,
Politician – dividing beyond repair,
Dividing the people, their thoughts, their belief,
Dividing the wealth, feeding more to the rich,
Filling innocent minds with filth,
The filth of hatred, the filth of revenge,
Politicians dividing the world of today,
Erasing humanity, filling rage,
Making communities to stand against each other,
Has it not become too easy for them all,
To cheat, to stab, to kill their own people’s trust,
Seems as if their hearts have stopped beating,
Lost compassion, kindness stays far from them,
The country’s progress not relevant at all,
All that these politicians can think of,
Is to divide and rule,
Sitting comfortably, enjoying the throne.

I give in, to the burning flames
for my love, to the sun
I burn like the fire myself
show my sins the way to the ashes
I cleanse my soul everyday
I take birth, fresh like a child
but this is heart of mine so innocent
it loves the Moon, with a passion no less
it chooses to cool, to the serenity of the night
peacefully, I embrace the silver light
the grains of my sand calm and soothing
offering my love complete
this selfless love so pure of mine
leaving a message bright and bold
a Desert I am, from me could they learn
the meaning of being ADAPTABLE

she closed her eyes
for the pain was overbearing
she let it fall through her tears
but the salt was not enough
it could only dissolve a little
she could envisage for its heaviness
the pain was never going to abandon her
it was only to grow
piercing her deeper
in the days to come
in the years to pass
till death eventually
shall honor her
her peace
#pain #death
words inspire
words conspire
they can make one win
they can make one sin
words can hurt
words can heal
they can mend
they can break
love, they can contain
they dominate
potential of words is beyond compare
let’s choose our words with care
let’s bring a smile to someone’s face
let’s make this world a meaningful place

silenced from the sight of bloodshed
blasting bombs, the sound of the guns
screaming people running for their lives
houses on fire, broken, wounded
loosing the strength, the buildings falling
silenced from the wounds of the city
the city of war, dying a swift death
thousands dead, lying on the roads
and those who survived
turning to become zombies
starting a journey slow & gruesome
for them nothing remained
but to live their lives in utter agony
silenced, never saying a word
asking thmeselves, why didn’t they also die
why a few of them had survived
survived, to live their death
every coming moment of their lives
did I plan to suffer
no I didn’t
did I make friends with pain
no I didn’t
did I tell my eyes to cry
no I didn’t
did I ask you to be mine
yes, I did
& you said ‘No’

your sweetness
keeps me thinking
keeps me worried
I just feel
I may loose my mind
for I don’t know when
would you start
to taste sour
maybe bitter…
Your sweetness…
leaving me
hungry for more
#poetry #unpredictable
the Ice & the Fire together
strong yet helpless – against each other
both confused – unable to decide
whether to cool or to burn the other
both in love
ready to give in
to give up their power
praying to the almighty
to take away
their extremism
****
it’s amazing how you drive me to write
it’s beautiful how you lift me to strive
how you fill me with emotions endless
with your love, your thoughtful comments
the way you perceive my poems, the thoughts behind them
makes me inspire to bring more to you
every hour, every minute
how I think to bring a smile to your face
imagining you reading me, gives me a special place
I wonder would I be here without you all
could I have ever done it, without touching your hearts
this story, this journey through the world of blogging
how I feel so related, how you make me feel special
my dearest followers, my dedicated readers
today, let me reveal a secret
mySestina not just mine anymore
mySestina truly now is yourSestina

warmth of the gold rays kissed the snow
woke up from its sleep, the snow witnessed the glow
with a smile gentle, it started to melt
ready for a journey of thousands of miles
falling from the height it turned into a waterfall
fresh so white so flawless
caressed the earth, so it became a river
rushing, splashing, making love to the ground
making its own path to travel
spreading prosperity to the villages on its way
leading with courage, crossing the hurdles
celebrating life, giving life to many
not knowing how to stop
never wanting to rest even a bit
speeding to reach her beloved so waiting
knowing, of loosing her sweetness to the salt
the river so eager
to be dissolved in the ocean

my share of the sky
with more of heat, than the rainbow
my share of the rain
with more of shivers, than those dances
my share of the wind
with more of storms, than the cool breeze
my share of the clouds
with more of dullness, than its pretty colors
my share of the taste of life
with more of sour, than the sweet
my share of emotions
with more of tears, than those heartfelt giggles
and my share of YOU my dear
with more of emptiness, than a little of your love
my Secret of my Share ??
I chose to live, the little I had
than to cry for the more, that wasn’t mine
#poetry #inspiration
you make me think
you make me smile
you make me breathe
you make me cry
you make me run
you make me stop
you make me happy
you make me sad
you make me jump
you make me freeze
you make me dream
you make me sleep
you make me rise
you make me fall
you make me grow
you make me tall
you make me hide
you make me reveal
you make me, you break me
you make me hollow
you make me complete
would I be me without you ever
you make me… ME
*****
If only you had caressed my face softly
if only you had held my hand
if only you had kissed me gently
things would have been different today
if only you had a small corner for me
in your heart, if only you had allowed me to stay
if only you could see my invisible tears
things would have been different today
if only you hadn’t abandoned me in pain
if only you could hear my silent screams
if only you had offered me yourself
things would have been different today
if only you had understood my song
I wouldn’t be writing these words of pain
I would be singing my poems of joy
in your arms I would have been enjoying
if only my love.. if only

lost in his thoughts, he couldn’t think much that morning
lost in his thoughts, he caught the wrong train
still lost in his thoughts, he took a vacant seat
lost in his thoughts, he didn’t see people around
lost in his thoughts, he didn’t know where to get down
lost in his thoughts, didn’t hear the baby crying next to him
lost in his thoughts, he didn’t notice something ticking under his seat
in a moment, a severe explosion hit the train
the man suddenly, woke up from his thoughts
but
is now lost
in the ashes of the bomb blast
remember? he caught the wrong train
while being lost in his thoughts
******
praise like a man wise, praise all good – that’s worth
stay innocent, to match the innocence of a child
roam carefree about, like the clouds move in the wind
make your inner self glow, like the glow of the sun
let the fire swallow all the sin, that’s burning your good self
speak like a man so gentle, with a heart that’s kind to all
realize your worth my dear, you are worthy of the best
*****
two hands, caged in a circle
walking their own pace
one seem smaller, a little heavier
the other seem energetic, a little younger
meeting each other every hour
set on a voyage that’s never to end
a voyage to decide the fate of everything else
a voyage that needs no train, no aeroplane
a voyage to birth voyages many more
it’s the voyage ultimate
the voyage of a clock
the voyage of time
#poetry #voyage #eternal
music of the morning
kissed the breeze
soft warm rays of the sun
woke up the birds
flowers bloomed
to the songs being sung
branch of the trees
were being danced upon
pigeons, sparrows,
there were humming birds
making merry
bringing life to the earth
a magical sight
for my eyes to witness
I wondered as I stood in my balcony
how could they hold such power divine
to make me feel so pure, pious
would be unjust to call them stray
they surely were the birds from heaven
—
aren’t we now just numbers
numbers that’s increasing
aren’t we now just more
more humans & no Humanity
aren’t we now just blind
our vision getting fragile
incapable to consume the reality
aren’t we just hurting all
all that of our own kind
and the rest
aren’t we losing the connection
the power of emotion
aren’t we speeding at the pace of light
to spread the darkness
aren’t we not just fed up
fed up of wars
fed up of politics
fed up of crime
aren’t we?

his blood not red, all the time
it’s green when he’s imagining the farms
it’s blue when he swims freely in the ocean
it’s yellow when he bows to the sun
it’s silver when he silently praises the moon
it’s even black when he is hurt in a war
for he is not a man too common
he has an elegant way to him
he is way beyond special
he is – an artist
he can change
the color of his blood
*****
when you have no words to express
when you simply choose to stay shut
when you have no idea what to say
your silence, speaks to me better than your words
when you are done talking, when you are tired
when you don’t want to explain – your pain, your desire
when you simply put your finger on your lips
your silence, speaks to me better than your words
when you don’t scream, still your eyes are teary
when you are glued to your desk for hours, writing
when you end up finishing the the ink in that ink pot
your silence, speaks to me better than your words
*****
if all souls on the earth are kind
if all souls have love in store
if there is compassion flowing all around
if only there is peace at all times
there’s contentment in all the hearts
if only we would crave to make the other smile
if only we cross our limits to help the one in need
if only we could make it all possible
we wouldn’t need that day and any later
the heaven beyond the clouds
for our heaven then be under our feet
on the ground

that house, where I was born
many things about it, I still remember
thinking of them, bring life to my soul
one of them, I distinctly remember
an old clock, that hung on the wall
I was a child, I never bothered about the time
yet I relished, the sound of the pendulum
the announcements it made every hour
to all the members of the family..
in that house we all made memories
we laughed, we shared smiles
we ate dinner together
every morning, we saw the sunrise
we too had many moments of pain
we cried together, our sorrows – we embraced
there, I met my childhood, my siblings
for heaven, saw my grandparents leaving
so much, that happened in the house
while the clock, went on ticking
the sound of the pendulum
still close to my heart
*****
I swallowed the silence
make it stay in my throat
to make my tongue worthless
to not let it utter a word
no matter how much
I have to go through
no matter how much
they make me suffer
I shall never even whisper
of my pain, my sufferings
for I just want to be me
I only want Me – to be with Me
when my eyes shed tears
in the dark
silently
#silence #pain #poetry
I am not, what I thought I were
I am much more
I am a creation of the almighty
emotions flow through me
lovely eyes to see the beauty around
a heart that beats for love
kindness, affection, peace
I hold them within me
I smile to bring smiles to many
I am brave enough to face the curse
I have the will to defeat the evil
I embrace life, I embrace love
I am special, I am a creation of the almighty
maybe, I am the almighty myself
isn’t God within us all
