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 love 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 why

Show 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 mad

There 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 fails

A 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 toil

Into a beautiful plant it will grow
If it gets the right nurturing
The gardener has to keep caring
To keep it healthy and blossoming

It'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 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.
