The Mask

Every morning I put on this mask,

To hide who I really am,

A smiling face on my soul,

Sounding stupid than I actually am

I see when people look at me,

They see only what’s on the surface,

I hope they can see deep into my eyes

And discover that hidden dream base.

They think, only the past was mine,

They think, now I am history,

Little do they know that tomorrow again I will shine?

Cause I am an unstoppable mystery

I hide my true self from the world,

And to tell you the truth, I don’t know why,

But I am not ashamed nor do I have any fear

'Cause the entire world tells a lie

Not only me but all put on this mask for a reason every day,

And hide the reality behind the bar,

But if we wear our masks for so very long,

We might forget who we actually are..

Sands of time

Sands so fine, I see,

Slowly slipping,

From the hands of mine.

Oh it looks so divine.

Let me keep it, it'll be mine.

I squeeze my palm tight.

And more of it flows fast.

Uncontrolled grains,

So white, soft and pure.

Dry, yet smells of the sea water,

To which it belongs.

For which its heart longs.

Again I squeeze my palm tight.

Slipping, it shined in the light.

With the greed to hold on,

Tried to stop it from flowing.

But it does not stop going.

I opened the first to see,

Not much left in my hand.

It had all gone,

Despite my efforts.

Closed palm, was not its home.

It moved on, fell to the ground

Happy to be with the same kind around.

Did I lose it?

Did it never belong to me?

Or did I have the right to stop it?

It never stopped anyway.

Now again,

I have some sand.

Gathered in my hand.

I don’t close my palm,

But observe how slowly it slipped.

There was no hurry,

And the grains were at ease.

 I knew I can only watch on,

The gracious move of it flow down.

But cannot hold on to it.

I smiled, and it was true.

We cannot hold on,

To things which are meant to move.

My palm so soft,

Most of it was gone by now.

What was it that the sand contained?

May be time, I thought,

As I let go the ones that remained.

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 it’s 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…

My Love

MY LOVE

Someone says it's impossible,

to understand a woman's mind

It's absolutely right

Atleast for the one who's mine

With same situations,

sometimes she's happy

and sometimes sad,

She may shower care and affection

or be furious like mad.

Sometimes I am out of the world,

and the next moment I am bad.

I'm not surprised if she's upset

and next moment becomes glad

Her love is like a Mother's

Pure like no one other's

She's cute like a flower

Her presence gives me power

She sometimes acts so crazy

It makes me feel so hazy

Her feelings,

are like a mysterious sea

I keep thinking,

what's in store for me?

But sometimes

they come out so beautifully

I wonder,

if I would ever understand her truly

Even though I get confused till the core

I can't help but love her more n more n more!!!

A second chance
