Awakening

Sitting cross-legged on my porch

This lockdown had me engrossed

In the upheavals within the soul

As I sit staring at the morning rays

Watching them spill over the surfaces of childhood memories

I pick each one, one by one

I look at them, upside down

I take what’s to be kept and shake away the rotten

 

Sitting cross-legged on my porch

I await the signs as I call upon you

The thoughts of you, have me dancing on my toes

Lyrics of sappy songs running in loop

Insides of my heart and mind shine with the glow

The glow I waited for you to come and pour

I thought I will have to travel places

To learn and unlearn life and love 

 

But all I needed to do is to sit cross-legged on my porch 

with a hand over my heart

Smile to let my insides shine for everything outside to glow!

Written - With a Smile!

!!! Tricky Love !!!

It's the ocean's trick 

The old one, dont you see

Calling you close so you reveal

Don't, don't you my heart listen

I have got you nicely wrapped and hidden

Melody of the dancing waves

Don't you listen hard and cave

It's the ocean's trick 

The old one, you see

It will swallow you whole

And tomorrow the waves will glee!

By - Ocean lover 

Chance

You are the reason of my being
You're my passion
Reason for  my compassion
You're the one for whom I believe
Reason for the way I live
Your my eternity, my forever
You're my beginning and my end
Don't let it slip away ..
Don't let us slip away ..
Give us a chance!

~Written in your hope!

What is it that keeps you awake in the night..

Breeze on the mountain tops

Cobbled path amidst the dense canopy

Bare feet dipped knee deep in chilly stream

or just lying on your back star gazing

What is it that keeps you awake in the night..

Snowflakes on the palm

Grainy wet sand beneath the feet

Warmth of rays in the eyes

or the petrichor in the midnight

What is it that keeps you awake in the night..

Quaint little hut near the shoreline

Or a mansion in the city 

Luxury on the wheels 

or a cabin amidst the clouds

Warm cuddles in rainy afternoon

Snuggles before the freezing dawns

Feathery caress on the forehead

or a beautiful dream just out of reach 

What is it that keeps you awake in the night..

By - A dream I live....

Unkept Truth!

Under the stars we met
Under the stars we wept
That the vows will be kept
With this faith we leapt
For all rises and sunsets
Forever we said
Together the hearts bled!

!!! Black Heart !!!

From the time I owned the world
To the time I look twice thrice
Before I approve my reflection reluctantly
From the time I believed in all good
To the time bitterness became
The first reaction to every emotion

I have traveled centuries
Changing, evolving, withering
Inch by inch losing and reducing
My thoughts, dreams and desires
The essence of my every childhood story
Were burned in the fire of reality

I poured my heart into the few
All who striped its innocence
Splashed the dark into the light
Wrecked the reasons of randomness​
Leaving only the deliberate emotions
Calculated associations, suspicious collaboration

Love, once a prayer, way of life
Reduced to means of self obsession
Emotions, once a way of expression
Now prisoned behind the iron walls

Somewhere while growing up
I lost the meaning and the purpose
Somewhere while escaping pain
I lost the life and the soul

If I could
I would change my path and their parts in my past
As I sit around nursing my black heart!!!

Its Okay !!!

Its okay, being a little bad

Its okay, being a little back 

Its okay, being a little less

Its okay, being a little mad

Its okay, being a little sad

Its okay, being a little low

Its okay, being a little slow

There will always be somebody, a little more

Breathe, it is what it is, Just Breathe

!!! The Weakest Link !!!

I feel it slipping away

I feel myself withering away

Moments of great weakness

Comes crashing down all around me

If I can hold the strings together

I can be stronger then..

the one who said, 

The man can only be as strong as his biggest weakness,

If that stands correct, I might be the weakest of all...

Weakest of all..

Self - Musing

A conversation that creates whirlwind in your mind

Can be countered by another which brings the serenity back

Sometimes a stranger’s simple advice of letting your expectations go

Can be more life changing than all the self-musing!

The Silence that Speaks

Why this sense of loss, what is this silence

Is it that I am losing the touch with my soul

Or is it trying hard to reconnect

When did I reach this juncture 

Where I can't even tell the difference any more!
