Adieu 2010

Another year is on the verge of ending...

Lots I have lost; lots I have achieved.

Have been enlightened by friends

and as always, foes have deceived. 

There are people I have befriended,

There are people I have shunned.

There were few moments of tears,

And some everlasting moments of fun.

But still there are few things

for which I am still longing.

Hope the coming year would be full of miracles...

Looking forward to a year filled with laughter & love,

Free from unwanted worries, cares and troubles.

A life full of drama !

I am amazed to see that when things seem to be going good, life takes an unexpected twist to make everything topsy-turvy sometimes shattering all our hopes, desires and expectations hence turning our world upside -down.


And we, the mortals have no other choice than consoling ourselves by accepting those twists and turns as our destiny ! 

Light at the end of the tunnel

Jaded by darkness all round,


Today I can see a gleaming light of hope...not far away....


It's the divine light I have been waiting for throughout my life,


Must reach there without any delay...

Words from a Dreamer

I survive in my own world of beautiful imaginations,

The ugly real world doesn't fascinate me...

Yes, i am a dreamer ,

My dreams are enough to make me happy...

There's no gleam of hope in the world outside,

In my canopy of dreams,let me reside !

Am i dreaming?

                                                                   




Unuttered & and wordless thoughts of the heart...

are taking shape,

In the form of sweet gestures,

and crystallizing in the form of pictures...

is it a dream?

if yes, please let me sleep...
Don't wake me up from this slumber !

The Best feeling for me....

The best feeling for me is...

To feel your feelings,

To convert those feelings to words,

Transform the words into a meaningful poem

And to fashion the poem into a beautiful song,

To sing it to your heart,

To sing it to the world !

When darkness falls in life...

When darkness falls in life,

You get no one to stand by your side !

Even your shadow ditches you,

'cos, to subsist even your shadow needs light .

In Love with Solitude

Walking down the road all by myself...

accompanied by the stark beauty of silence...

With no single soul to perturb...

With no shadow to startle...

It's just me and my drifting thoughts....

I am in love with my Solitude...

Awaiting the dawn...

Awaiting the Dawn...

Awaiting my Destiny !

Anxious to know what's in store for tomorrow?

Threatening dark clouds or a clear azure sky?

A heap of sorrow or a bunch of smiles?

Tomorrow's gonna decide my fate...

It might bring me to a concrete conclusion,

Or push me into the dungeon of confusions...

Eagerly awaiting the Dawn ...

Awaiting my Destiny .....

Retreat

I am tired of chasing illusions,

My limbs are going numb...

i wanna rest...

I won't repent,

I won't plan my tomorrow...

Wherever you take me O Life,

I would go with the flow !

Trust

Never trust a smiling face....

No one knows what lies behind the masked visage ...

Try not to trust your eyes...

Sometimes the eyes alone do lie !

Bygone Days...

Bygone days ...

Oh the times ! Oh the manners !

Fun, Frolic and Laughter was the way of life,

A cup of coffee with friends was enough to survive !

The sweet conversations,

The crazy ways...

I miss those innocent moments ...

I'll ever cherish those wonderful days.

Feelings

Fill my Mind with flow of thoughts ...

Enchant my Heart with enthralling music

Sanctify my Soul with divine melody ...

Bless my Life with love & joy...

Rude Awakening

Blinded by the Mist of uncertainty,

Today I am alone under the murky sky...

I am drenched in the rain of tears,

I m wondering how long would I survive?

I was wandering through the fathomless sky

happily hunting for the rainbow of dreams...

I was engrossed in my own world of hopes and desires

Till life introduced me to its rude awakening!

Friends, fun ,love & laughter

was the simple definition of my life.

I was a stranger to all trials and tribulations,

I was unaware of all the obstacles and strife…

I was on my way ,

chasing my aspirations and the treasured dreams...

I wanted to live life to the fullest,

Till I came across the rude awakening !

Together forever!

Priceless are the moments spent with you,

You have always given each morning of my life a meaning- fresh & new.

The happiness, the laughter, the gossips & fun,

I shall cherish each moment in the rain and the sun.

You followed like my shadow at times of grief and pain...

I bet I would never get such a true friend in my life ever again.


My heart shivers at the very thought of departing from you…

It would be the worst day of my life,

That would take me far away from you.

None of us would know

What’s in store for tomorrow…

Destiny can’ t be altered

Wishes can’t be borrowed.

Life might bring us to a phase,

Of bidding adieu to each other…

Nothing can split our friendship, dear friend,

In our thoughts, prayers and memories

We'd be together forever !

Let the silence speak

Amidst all the mirth & laughter between them...
There somewhere prevailed a silence ….
a sweet silence…
Full of unexpressed , unspoken words …

Words she had shared with him in her dreams ,
Words he had shared with her in his thoughts
Words that reveal that they love each other a lot.

Love is a feeling difficult to hide
But his smile knows to veil the ongoing pain inside …
Love though being a divine bond
Is a feeling, hard to express
But her twinkling eyes knows to conceal the ongoing distress

Words at times are not enough,
Hence Silence is what we seek...
They are still waiting for the day when their golden silence would speak.

The Conflict

I don't know what is right,
Neither do I know what's wrong,
I don't know the upshots of my actions...
Can You help me to overcome this conflict that's going on?

My heart tells me 'Go Ahead',
But mind summons to ' Stop, Think & Act',
The consequences might crown me as the Winner...
It might also lead to my Defeat,
Tell me how ? How can I conquer this inner conflict?

At times the heart suggests me to Wait
But mind proposes to Move On !
Don't put me in such dilemmas, Oh Life...
Please help me rout this inner conflict that's going on !

The Heart preaches that forgiving is Victory,
The Mind echoes 'Forgetting is your defeat'
Have mercy on me O Lord !
Help me unravel this Inner Conflict !
