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 charm

With 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 meets

With 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 up

With 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 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.

WHEN YOU ARE GONE

When 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 smokes

But 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 freak

But 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 flow

But 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 start

But 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 waters

I 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 song.

Serenity surrendered to strife
Between the mind and heart
The silence was marred by a thousands screams
That said " no" to you happening in my life.

But 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 unfulfilled.

You 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.
