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 face

If you can bring back the smile with grace

If you can tend a broken heart

You are human

When you share your super with a hungry soul

When spreading happiness all around is your goal

When for a tired traveler you open your door

You are human

Being human is not being a man or a woman

It is feeling the pain that’s not your own

It is feeling the love for all Gods Children

Its serving the purpose of being born

Be human.

FROZEN MOMENTS

I reach out for the stars

Gather some in my in arms

Some fall into my eyes.

The moments flow like a shimmering river

It whizzes past, but stays still in time

Like a memory frozen in the mind.

These moments , stolen from destiny

These are just for you and me

Its when we grow the wings

And in the open blue sky, we fly

No borders, no boundaries, no bindings

Free to be lost in each other.

But moments are only moments,

Fleeting, they don't last a lifetime.

They are flickering like a fading lamp

And before we blink, its gone

To each our world, we return

The moments as memories, frozen in our minds.
