Cloud!

Cloud

White, puffy, soft and cold

My thoughts wander high up above

Hiding the light behind their back

Casting the shadow on the world below

Shedding a tear for the ones here

They fly high in the sky above

Dreams sweet of an elegant nature

Hopes high for that pot of gold

Ripe harvests for seasons to come

Are those clouds high up above

A father’s love, a mother’s care

Thoughts many beyond my philosophy

Are all what they are, the clouds

Floating in the sky, high up above

Yielding lightning, the bravest sword

And thunder, the mighty shield

A knight, so magnificently attired

Guards humanity and us, the mortals

White soft gown, grazing the sky

Slow steps of a sweet shy bride

A cloud, she moved to her eternal groom

Who kissed her a promise, a whole life new

A little cherub on a cloud weaves a tune

Alas! Unheard by our ears deafened

By the hues and cries of our pros and cons

Sadly we miss that tune of life

That cloud looked at the world below

Where it dwelt a lifetime ago

“Oh! Earth “, it cried, from above

“How strange thy art, far below”

By Tess

A knock

A Knock

She is knocking hard at your door, with her hands open, she wants you to hold,

But you are so lost lingering in your past, and, with your memories old..

She knows you are in pain, and she is here to soothe you,

She wants to ease your burden and touch your heart by her words few..

She knows you have lost trust on love, since someone broke your heart before,

You understand her feelings but that trust you cannot restore..

She knows she cannot be there, but, still she is trying to be on your mind,

She does everything to make you happy, oh, she is so kind!

You like her company, you give her a morning hug,

But inside you, you are still carrying that painful grudge..

She is knocking harder at your door, for she wants to remove all your fear,

She wants to spread smiles in your life, though deeper somewhere, even she carries a sad tear..

Give her this opportunity, let her come in, and illuminate your mind,

For such beautiful people, in this small life, you can hardly find.

She is waiting for you to open, her patience giving answer to her wait,

Come; hold her hands, before it’s too long, before it’s too late…

War and Peace

War and Peace

War and Peace Seeds of hatred,

Seeds of terror Grown in the minds of horror

Eagles and vultures dive in the skies

Blood and Bodies I can see all around

Lost my son, lost my husband, 

My  father lying in the pool of red,

Daughters and wives being disgraced all around,

No one to listen, not one to hold my hand,

My cries go far and in vain.

So someone cries beyond the borders

I can hear he too lost his father.

There across the fence I can see,

A mother for her son is weeping.

What more mayhem do I see?

No different is this war scene.

I know not who wins who loses,

I can only see pains and bruises.

Wounds and scars never to be filled,

Only shattering memories of bloodshed to live with,

This is all that War can give,

Then why don’t I pray for Peace?

Here I raise my hands OH Lord!

Because war is not the way of world

After all these apocalyptic scene

My soul yearns to live in Peace.

My Journey

My Journey

Looking out of the window of my age old car,

The one that still moves around, marked with scars,

Life on the move has been so cloudy,

More than Half of those who knew me would agree.

Blurred memories of family and friends,

Passing by before I could make amends,

Looks on those faces so familiar,

Point to a future that could have been better.

Faintly remember the towns I crossed on my way,

Milestone after milestones, day after day,

Over the Journey did the Destination outweigh,

All this while the evening sky turned grey.

As I stand here at my road's end,

No more freeways no more bends,

Living a life all along with no regrets,

Hoping this is one of those last sunsets.

U r my only asset to whom i owe

"u r my only asset to whom i owe"

Silently, I sit by the window gazing the horizon

As for me it seems the time has frozen

Darkness is all what is pouring in

The only sound I can hear is my heart beating

My eyes feeling sleepy and heavy with pain

I could see on my cloth-the nasty red stain

 

I know there is nothing more for me to gain

Still I am continuing my desperate prayers-all in vain 

A sudden nightmare has shattered my identity

Which counted on me an irreversible casualty

 

A drunken driver, and for saving a child

He left me amidst the world howling wild

Together we had embarked on a treasured love

With our innate pious feelings well gelled up

He always would say

         "A life full of hardships, I was leading

         And from nowhere as an angel you walked in"

He was there to hold my hands always

To make me the happiest with his crazy ways

When I feared that I would be left lonely

My dearest one would embrace cozily

Kicking my feelings of life's agony

But now I sit by the window gazing the horizon

As my life slowly engulfing the deadly poison

One day he had whispered to me low

"You are my only asset to whom I owe"

Now dear, it’s my turn to show

That I can fight all the shackling woes

Now, I can feel my pain getting numb

Reaching for you dear, just hold my arm

The frozen time has again started flowing

As I sit by the window with my eyes closing

A Journey Called Life

A Journey Called Life

Life is an intractable journey,
Its vagaries perplex and flummox many.
Long, arduous and insurmountable it may seem,
Chances of conquering the odds may be extreme

But an intrepid, diligent, tenacious person can tackle.
Through his hardwork, veracity,and probity,
And can reach the pinnacle

Because afterall, everything in life depends on attitude,
So, towards God express your gratitude,
By taking pride, in going through this bumpy ride

U r the World

You are the world

 

You are the world, I don’t lie!

The world says, ‘coz it’s you… and why? 

 

         Sun daunts to shed his arduous glare on you

         And moon taking a chance to match you….

         As she found this rare beauty only in few

         Even rain thinks in millions before it showers                      

         Like the turbulence of the wind mitigates, that usually hovers   

         Nature is jostled into a dilemma....

         Judging as to who is the most charming phenomena

         The gushing river’s silence insinuates its respect

         To an extent, that rustlin’ leafs stop their noisy puppet

         The busy arcade is turned grave

         When you swift through your way, with a winsome wave

 

         Gloomy days rejoice at your very sight….

         And the darkest nights ignite

         Old and the trodden are animated to joy

         As mere pains are given up, turning out to be shy

         Beauty has been more conscious you bein’ around

        Tension obviously resentful, ‘coz he is unable to hound

         And patience at its spirit, with its intimate found

          

         Time is tuned out of pace

         Trying to make every moment a happy phase

         The entire mood is inclined to you 

         Do I need to interpret more? No! I’m true....

         The whole world is sure to go numb

         Forced to think nothing but to remain dumb!

A second chance

A second chance
As I went walking through a forest,

I saw a waterfall, enchanting and wild.

Oh I loved that flowing water,

Oh I wanted to dive deep inside.



I was hoping to unfold a mystery,

To see the world from other side,

Scary though it seemed at first,

But I had made up my mind for the ride.



I closed my eyes, said a silent prayer,

Lifted my feet from the ground into air.

As I fell down with the water,

I could feel the wind play with my hair.



I went to the land of seas,

Those mermaids, the fishes, the pearls white,

I then wished to stay there forever,

I kept admiring this world all night.



I got up the next day, on the sea bed,

Oh I longed for air, I lost my breath in the sea,

I wanted to shout for help,

But there was none to hear me.



Suddenly a hand came down from above,

Took my hand in his hands and took me along,

He brought me back to my world which I left,

But that was the place where I belong!



I was not walking through the forest,-I was walking through life,

I had grief in my heart, n I began to wonder…

Will I get something better if I take the plunge?

Oh I wish to that thought I did not surrender.



I jumped down,

and for one day the world seemed fine,

But the world I had entered,

Didn’t just seem to be mine.



I didn’t lose my breath in the sea-

I missed the one I love,

Then I prayed he’ll come back for me,

To take me back above.





So just when things go wrong once,

Don’t jump into that alluring waterfall,

It might seem beautiful at first,

But its not worth you even with its pearls n all.



If life has blessed you with a heart that loves you,

Don’t lose it because of a simple mistake.

Instead, nurture it with understanding and trust,

So just give another chance for love’s sake.



So go back now, and make up with them,

give them just another chance to show,

love is not about all good moments,

it can also sometimes face the times low.



“If I am ever not the man who I am now-

Its only you who can bring me back” once said he….

Today I just want one chance for us,

You once said I am your angel,

And today I promise I will be ..Ash

A DROP OF TEAR

Drop of Tear

A Drop of Tear A Drop Of Tear Rolls Down My Eyes

I Really Don't Know What It Means

My Heart Cries Out In Joy and In Sorrow

Pain and Happiness Are Both with Me

I Feel a Stranger Around Me

As I Close My World within Me

My Heart Is Afraid To Let In the Stranger

But It So Much Wants Him to Stay

A Word to Be Spoken Is Stuck In My Throat

I Feel My Voice Leaving Me Alone

I Don’t Know If My Heart Is My Friend Or Foe

It Doesn’t Even Let My Mind Let Go

I'm Not Sure of Its Intensions

I Can’t Trust It Any More

I Look At The Stranger With Love And Hope And............

A Drop of Tear Rolls down My Eyes

I Really Don't Know What It Means.

A Drop of Tear Rolls down My Cheeks

I No Longer Understand My Own Heart

The Shoulder That I Cried Upon

No Longer Seems To Wipe My Tears

The One That Was So Close To My Heart

Seems To Have Lost In the Crowd

The Caressing Eyes Are Stoned Now

The Strong Arms Don’t Hold Me Tight

The Person That Stands Before Me

Is Not the One I Knew?

The Hand Now Holds Me

Is Not the One That Guided Me?

How Can I Love and Hate the Person At The Same Time

How Can I Judge His Heart over His Actions

My Mind Says I'm wrong

But My Heart Believes Him

My Legs Walk With Him

While My Mind Races Ahead

I Rest My Head on His Chest

To Find Some Comfort In His Arms And..........

A Drop of Tear Rolls down My Cheeks

I No Longer Understand My Own Heart.

A Balanced Life

A Balanced Life


My life has been balanced
with pleasures and trials,
I’ve had many teardrops
and thousands of smiles.

I’ve soared to the moon
and I’ve plunged to the sand,
My life has been balanced
by God’s loving hand.

I’ve had many friendships
I’ve had a few foes,
In the life of a Christian
that’s the way that it goes.

Should I just accept
only good from God’s hands
No, I must endure
whatever He plans.

But I can be sure
and you can be, too,
All things work for best
as God deals with you.

Zero

ZERO

I, started with zero,

Again, ended with zero..

Darkness was there..

Again, Darkness still prevails..

When I started the voyage,

It was hostile, stormy and gloomy..

Again, it has worsened…

Ship of life was heading nowhere..

Again, It hasn’t found any direction yet…

Things were never good…

Again, they aren’t better now..

But, a thin ray of Hope was always there..

It is still with me..

And will always be there..

Always there dissuading me

From giving up…

Showing me a lot more

Beyond the Big Zero….

Worth

Worth


It aint right for the good man

to give the better any God damn chance

It aint weak for the volunteer

to step back sometimes, go hunting deer

It aint sick for a pauper

to dream becoming a millionaire

It aint bad if I always cheat

and never get caught or never face defeat

Time had come time had went

But never for me did one lament

Lust to love and pain to mirth

but never was I of any worth

Blame the people or blame the Lord

Why didnt I get any reward

It aint right for a hurricane

to depart without causing any pain

It aint great for a person

to buy his love a big mansion

Time had come time had went

But never for me did one lament

Lust to love and pain to mirth

but never was I of any worth

Die in vain or die for one

I shall never love anyone

One small boy once called for play

He sat on the floor and started to pray

One grown man once called for war

He said I got no power

One old man once fell asleep

it was an incessant sleep

Time had come time had went

But never for me did one lament

Lust to love and pain to mirth

but never was I of any worth

There were hopes and there were were dreams

there were kings and there were queens

The old man never made a choice

All, all of us have a chioce

Dig your grave or make your home

spend sometime, thinking alone

Thank you, thank you bye bye

its your wish if you dont wanna fly

Tick Tock

Tick Tock

It’s racing ahead, it’s showing on my face,
Try as I might, I can’t control its pace,
Nor can I get it back, only memories to embrace,
I need to make each DAY count.

Each new dawn, a plan’s chalked out for me,
I fall behind a bit, thinking I’ll get there eventually,
Ignorant of the high price for something that was free,
I must make each HOUR count.

Why do I indulge in frivolous gossip?
Why forget blessings and constantly crib of hardship?
Why give in to temptations and let my morals slip?
Why don’t I make each MINUTE count?

One tiny glance away, may cost a life,
One deep breath when enraged can spare the knife,
One gulp of ego; love prevails between man and wife,
Those tiny little seconds, oh how they count!
Yes, I’m gonna make every little SECOND count.

Confession

Confession

Never Know what tomorrow shall bring,
Unknown haunts, unawares of even a thing.
Can I feel the way I feel, ..?
Emotions independant of a deal.
Darkness shrouds the distant light.
Touch the horizon,mirage bright.
Future --will u accept me with open arms..?
Liberation of soul unscathed --without harm.

Never know what tomorrow shall bring,
Inhibitons disallow me to spread my wings.
Can I dream the way I want...?
What if then-nightmares haunt!
The web of thoughts,trap the mind.
Questions to which answers I can't find.
Future --will u welcome me with open arms
Liberation of spirit --unscathed without harm..!

Wronger side of wrong

Wronger side of wrong 

All the steps I took were applauded 

when I took them 

ohh so grand did I look 

felt I was precious like a gem 

 

Now all the jobs are done 

I am sitting here undone 

without a single option 

never thought this way it will turn 

 

All what I did lifelong 

People just didnt play along 

Now I am the only one left 

On wronger side of wrong.

Be your hero!

Be your hero!

I looked back into the past, with hope and fear

Only to see the path that I took is on fire.

As the things that I wished I never done

Laughed at me and made me their fun

I stand here wishing they were untrue

But in life’s dictionary there is no ‘undo’.



I look into the future, nothing is clear

Hoping that, I would not turn back in fear.

May be I would be what I wanted to be

Or end up as just another fish in the sea

I stand here frightened to wish and hope

May be I am not too sure if I can cope.



When all I could look at is ‘now’

I don’t care to question, I don’t ask how.

I follow my heart, I follow my spirit

I hunt each dream of mine and achieve it

Live for your dreams not for the uncertain tomorrow

Live the moment, in that way you will be your hero!

SomeDay

SomeDay

Someday there'll be a day

When everything will be the way it seems

When we shall have all that we wished for

All along in our dreams

A smile will be a smile

Not a front for a tear

Your life’s course will be yours

And yours alone to steer

Everyone will have someone

They’ll always be together

Friends will be there for you

Now and forever

That will be the day I can finally say

Adios world!! I’m flying away

Coz that will be the day I’ll finally be free

That will be the day…I’ll be me.

Forever?

What is "Forever"? Is it illusion, hope or unfathomable.

FOREVER

Forever is infinity,
A number far away,
A thought, or dream, just out of reach,
Of life, of night or day.

Forever is untouchable,
To hand, or mind, or eye,
It winds the world a million times,
And touches both earth and sky.

Forever is the moments,
That blend the day and night,
That put your heart into a trance,
That awakens not with pure might.

For forever is unbearable,
After it has lain in the light,
It stands, to us, an open door,
Reached only by taking flight.

But forever patiently lies in wait,
Standing tauntingly ajar,
Daring all who chance to see,
To catch it from afar.

Forever is invisible,
To all but a fleeting glance,
That passes when hearts are overcome,
By an even deeper trance.

Forever is far, far down the road,
Far past where my feet shall stall,
Far in the eye that none can forebode,
And far after the final fall.

Forever is unreachable,
By hand, or mind, or light,
To anything in knowledge of man besides,
That moment of eternal night.
