Am I

Am I?

Not a bead glistens my eyelashes when I am in intractable trauma,
But can’t stop my surging tears when my hero dies in an onscreen drama;
Am I weird?

I crave and miss my loved one, whom I cannot see,
Is it because he is no longer there for ME?
Am I selfish?

I wish to pull the moon and wrap it around,
I long to get hold of Aladdin’s magic lamp to fulfill my wishes unbound;
Am I immature?

Death scares me, Rejection scoffs at me, Expectations tenses me,
The fear of losing my kith and kin terrifies me;
Am I a coward?

Am I weird, selfish, immature and a coward?
So many negatives huddled in a pod,
Am I a pessimist?

A Tribute to Beauty

A Tribute to Beauty
Beauty of a woman lies not in her skin,
It comes from all the goodness, springing from within.
Beauty’s not in dimpled chin, nor shining eyes a trait,
The beautiful are gracious; their grace is not in gait.

“Shining hair! Glowing skin!” billboards try selling dreams,
But beauty doesn’t emanate from bottled gels and creams!
Wrinkled skin looks beautiful too, on hands that care to caress,
Beautiful even a crackling voice that calms your mind’s duress.

If you care to see, there’s a beauty in every home,
We call her 'Mother dear', she’s virtues’ epitome.
With charming countenance and kindness in eyes,
Her magical touch could transform tears into smiles.

As God could not be everywhere, they say he created Mother.
Made sure to give her the beauty of Love, Love that doesn’t wither.
To the mother in every woman, this ode is a small tribute,
Your ceaseless beauty, O’ Woman, in reverence I salute.

Crazy!

Crazy!
Why can't I, go away?
Why do dreams come haunting me?
Why do things happen the way,
Like they are never meant to be...?

Now I stay, now I move,
Not that it makes difference any way,
Now I'm left, with myself,
But I just wanna go away...

From my life, from my heart,
From everything that makes me stay.
Am I crazy this way?

Leave now, leave me alone,
I have to deal with this myself,
Let it go, let it grow, I'm not afraid anymore.

But I just have to let go...
Of my dreams, of my smile,
Of anything that makes me say,
Am I crazy this way?

I can't sleep, I can't open my eyes,
I can't feel my heartbeat,
I don't know what to do.

Life is war and I retreat,
But I don’t wanna live...
Broken heart, broken soul,
Broken pieces of myself, scattered around,
I try not to gather again, because it pains.

Still I breathe, and I live,
To shout to the world today,
I am crazy this way.

As I move on...

As I move on...

As I lay on the death bed,
Besides me stood the angels around,
Holding my hands, as I need to move out…

And my eyes filled with the pictures
so clear of yesteryears passed.
To my own have I hurt,
have I felt the pain and suffered,

I now move on and there is no brother no sister,
I have to move alone,
And there is no relation I have to move alone,
So why carry this burden of memories so heavy…

Let God Bless all around,
I need to move on and on…

Love is the only language that I knew when I was born,
In my mother’s arms I felt was only love,
As I move along, to my Lord Eternal,
I feel blessed by the same love.

What I said and what I did
would be now soon buried,
what I lived will be only past
as I cease from this world vast.

If Love is all that binds us together,
How does it matter what’s your creed or color…
Let all left behind me be blessed and touched by love
This is all that I wish as I move along…
And the time stood by, as I fly deep within me…

All is dark as my life passes on…
and I can see only eternal light.
I fear not, as this is not so unknown,
I fear not as there are some more lessons to be learnt…

There I feel peace abundant,
there I meet all my beloveds,
The path is full of hopes and dreams…
And I move on and on…

I Miss you..... My darling daughter

I Miss you..... My darling daughter
I miss you and miss you like caught fish misses water,
I miss you and miss you like a man misses air bellow water,

We might not be together in person, as destiny has parted us for a brief time
But you are there with me in all the moments of my life here.
You are there in all the breath I take
You are there in all beats my heart takes
You are there in my pulse as they flow without brake.

I miss you…….When some kid laughs
I miss you …….. When some kid cries
I miss you........ When one dad kisses his kid
I miss you........ When kids call their dad by 'paapa'

Every thought of you makes me feel lonely between millions of people
I have all the memory of you as fresh as the morning due on flowers,
I still remember when I took you for the first time in my arms

You were as soft and light as some flower
I still remember when you looked at me for the first time
And you keep staring at me for a long time
Like you were conveying some message from the Gods which you brought from above

I still remember when you cried for the first time in front of me I felt like dying inside
I still remember your first smile; it was as beautiful as God's own smile
I still remember the first time you fell asleep in my arms;
It felt like God has hugged me

I still remember your soft touch like the touch of a feather
I still remember your pink feet and fingers like a pink flower
I still remember when you started standing with support
You used to hold thing with your soft little hands

I still remember you called me ‘pappa’ for the first time
It seemed like God has whispered in my ears that ‘He loves me’
I still remember you falling down and coming to me crying
I felt like the most trustworthy person on the earth.
I still cherish each moment when you were with me
And those inestimable memories help me move forward.

Angels in Combat

To our Motherland you've pledged your life,

Leaving behind a family - parents, children and wife.

Each day a challenge, a threat untold,

We live in ignorance, for the guard you hold.

With gallantry unmatched you fight all foes,

Epitomes of strength , our real life heroes.

Not a single enemy doth escape your vigilant eyes,

You protect Her with all, the fire never dies.

Amidst all strife She shines unscathed,

It's the radiance of your valour in which She is bathed.

She’s Our Motherland too, but you chose to sacrifice,

I salute thy spirit O' Guardian of the skies.
