To that person..!

Let me introduce someone who fuels the vehicle of our life…
It’s not mom, dad, sibling, husband or wife…
This is a special one
With them around, life is fun…!
They know you the most
They are your family functions unpaid host…!
They don’t judge
When it’s about you, They won’t budge..!
You don’t need to be shy..
They will always come by , without asking why?
They know your mistakes
But still love you for who you are…
They are always around, whether they live near or far ..
They call you parents mom and dad
Not related by blood, but will always cheer you when sad…!
They know your love life
And understand when your priorities changes to your wife…!
They don’t complain, They always choose you…
If you have such a friend.. you are one of the lucky few…!!
Treasure them
Love them
And let them know
Without them by your side, you won’t know where to go..!

Once a cheerful me..!

Returning from work
I had a thought to myself…
Life is so good
With goodness around and people to help…

Suddenly I felt a pull
And I was grabbed..
For the next few hours
I was nabbed and stabbed…

I pushed and fought
And I tried a lot…
On the seat of a posh car
Away from the city crowd somewhere far…

I was hurt and hurt
And I felt like a piece of dirt…
My dress was torn
By men who thought I was the one they own…

They had a smirk on their face
While they watched me fade By…
They enjoyed the feeling
Of seeing me weak and shy…

At that moment
I was thinking to myself
Why did I come home so late?
Why is this in my fate?

They didn’t care for my thoughts
Or the blood I lost…
They only wanted some inhuman pleasure
At my cost…!

Demons they were
But I could only yell and stare
And they took turns
Oh stop ! It’s hurts and burns..!

They were deaf to my cries
They weren’t men very wise…
I kept pleading in pain
They thought of it as their gain…

I was later thrown in a pit
Like a piece of shit…
Feeling crippled and numb
I lay there still
Until spotted by some…

Taken to the medical room
I could hear whispers around me..
My parents and friends
Came rushing to see….

I saw my mother cry
I felt my father standing afar in shock…
Is she your daughter, let’s get a few details in said the nurse
Documenting a day of fear and course…

Days went by and seasons turned
Doctors said i am fine and I was brought home…
But something in me was still shaken
The girl in me was now broken…

No matter what I did
No matter where I hid..
Demons still dwell everywhere,
In my mother’s care, in people’s stare…

I stood up and walked
And decided to talk..
Through my story
I wanted others to be aware…
So they don’t fall prey to a demons stare…!!
So they don’t fall prey to a demons stare..!!

Get Going!

Get up and get going,

The path will start showing…!

Don’t sit and frown,

Not all of us were made with a crown…!

You may not be there,

Regardless, start somewhere…!

It may be a journey you did not choose,

Now that you have started, what’s there to lose?

The moon changes its shape and disappears too,

Only to come back stronger and new.!

Its ok to take a step back,

Introspect and work on what you lack.!

But once back, don’t give up your track,

For it may seem as though you’re behind in the race,

Yet no one knows, your final place…!

You will be there when its time,

And if you miss, you know – Its not the final show.!

So, get up and get going again,

Endure the pain to cherish the gain…!

Pause…

A pause,
To stop and reflect
A pause,
To think and recollect

How often
Do you break?
To pause and refresh
No matter even if it is all at stake.

Not now
Not then
If not now
Then when?
Do you realize
Even pause –
Is a victim of procrastination!

Get up to stop
Give your routine a little hop
A step back is all it takes
To ponder on your strengths and work on your mistakes

You owe this to you
And a near and dear few
So delay no further
Honor the break its righteous due…

When you step back
Just let yourself know
The small hole on the surface
Is for a new sapling to grow…
Is for a new sapling to grow…

Climax is where it begins…

I dreamt to be a dreamer
Coffee boiling in the brewer
Evenings never looked more happier
Full of lights – far away from fear…!!

A journey was about to start
In the film of my life
Where –
I was the director
I was the cast…!!

No work in progress
No diversions
Fun was unlimited
No condition or apprehension…!!

Where would I go
What would I do
Neither am I worried
Nor should you….!!

Turns and bends
Wherever I choose
There was no vain
As I would have nothing to lose..!!

The driver is me
Set on a spree
I am shore
I am the sea…!!

I can scream
I can cry
I can run
I can fly…!!

This is just what I wanted
Ever since the start
Finally at the end
I have it all in my cart…!!

I will shoot my film
The way I want it to be
The climax is where it begins
At the end I am free…!!

A Friend Within

Do I know you at all?
What should I address you?
What should I call?

You smile in my success
You cry for my fall
You are always with me
Whether I jump, walk or crawl….

Surrounded with friends
Unnoticed you were
I would ignore you always
After a few seconds of stare..

Now that I am locked
All accesses and communications blocked
I have got the time
And you have the light of lime….

I thought
you would not speak
For your company
I did not seek…..

You hugged me so tight
And suddenly I felt so light
You knew all my scar
And I was the one who pushed you far….

Where were you all the while?
I asked you in a fancy style…
Right here – you said
I have always lived in your heart and head…

Taken aback
I introspected myself
All I gathered
Was that you were always willing to help…

Why didn’t I speak to you before
Why didn’t I ever try to understand you more?
Searching for a friend outside
I forgot I already have one inside…

I always wanted
Someone who will know how I feel
Looking at my eyes
Someone who can tell it is real or a reel…

I cribbed and cried
But could not find at all
Right here you were
Just at a distance of closing my eyes and a quick mind’s call…

That’s when I realized
What my mom always said
When in doubt
Try asking your heart and your head…!!

All these years
I was in search of you
But you were within
And I had no clue…!

Now that I know
I will always have a friend
Who will guide me through out life
Until our journey comes to an end …!!!

Mother Nature

The drops fell down-
On the burning sun…
The wind blew by
And spoilt its fun…!

Nature had its way
Of sending them all to play
For when unity they show
Earth is blessed with a rainbow…!

Standing there I thought
Why would have the sun, rain and breeze fought…?
Reason known to none may be
Only the outcome we feel and see…!

As if mother nature
Is wanting to preach
The lesson of Unity
She wants them to teach…!

Finally the three
Might have cleared all the fight
Hence Mother nature is happy
showing us a beautiful sight…!

And we here sitting down
Always cry and frown
Not knowing what it takes
When united its beautiful
And in selfishness even the Earth shakes..!!!

A letter to you…

How do I cage you?
Into words ….
That will sleep,
in a book closed tight,
and will soon go out of sight!

How do I cover you?
For your potential – is far beyond.
Which guard do I order,
to ensure you do not ponder?

Like a butterfly,
wondering in search of something good,
you keep jumping-
wherever you could!

I am scared of
the plight you take,
I am worried of the outcome,
it will make.

Sharp as knife,
bold as fire.
how do I curtail,
your sapphire?

Oh mind… oh mind
your travel tires me,
a small gap of break,
and you are set out on –
an imaginary spree…!

Can we sit and talk?
Decide once and for all..
I want to slowly walk,
and you want to run out at every call…!

We need to settle for once,
at a suitable speed..!
I hope all that I am writing –
makes sense when you read.

So this time – on our date
let’s sit and talk.
oh and no escaping –
and do not act like you are shocked!

I’m listing my complaints -for us to resolve.
You can come up with yours.
Let’s be each other’s doctor
and come up with the cures…!

Don’t be quick to wake a hi !
don’t leave without saying a bye…
When someone you hate speaks –
do not show your emotions with a sigh!

Don’t assume they will know,
don’t be afraid of emotions to show.
Don’t judge by what they say,
don’t get fooled – by their way…!

Don’t hide your tears,
don’t run from your fears.
Don’t bury your dreams,
don’t shut your screams…!

Don’t laugh just for the sake
no one is worth the take.
Don’t stick when it pricks,
some cracks – do not have a fix…!

Don’t hurry to win it all
don’t be ashamed when you fall.
If you are tired of running, just rest
you are expected to live your life
and you get to the decide – what for you is the best…!

Don’t let others tell,
what you did well.
For only you know better
how many times you fell…!

Don’t look happy –
when you are not.
It is okay for people to know
that you have fought…!

It is your life,
and you do not need to hop…!
Experience it all here
even if it means – you have to stop.

Hold on while you can,
For most of your life, you have already ran!
Take a stroll and enjoy every emotion
please always remember –
that YOU are a worth creation…!

Let’s talk… Dad

I fell down
And you held me
Wiping my tears
You taught me how to fight my fears…

I crawled, walked and finally ran
When I turned back, I saw you
Cheering and clapping
Saying, come on my child – you can..!

I never asked –
How have you been?
For no one more stronger
Than you, I have seen…!

When days were hard
And ends were very tough to be met
You ensured I had enough of everything
And you – were hungry yet…!

When I had to lean
You gave me your shoulder
When I became weak
You made me stronger and bolder…!

You never said, you loved me
But your actions said it all.
You were ready to sleep on the ground
To ensure I do not ever fall…!

Never did I make any efforts
To know your path and pain
But I always silently noticed
The wrinkles on your forehead caused by the stress and strain…!

I knew you wont share your story
For you fear, it will reduce your glory
But to me you will always be the same
Struggle and loss are just a part of the game…!

So today dad,
Lets come a step closer
Lets peep a bit deeper
Lets talk a bit longer…!

I have always seen you bare the load
I suggest you pass some to me
Together we can pull it better, may be
Give me a chance and we will see…!

I love you dad
Let me say it loud
I am proud to have you in my life
For you are the best man in my life’s crowd..!

The bicycle of your relation
Needs a bit of oiling
Lets release off the tension
Come on Paa, lets have a chat,
the weather is wet outside and
the tea to accompany our chat is hot and boiling…

I am..

I am laughter
I am the cry..
I am truth
I am the lie..!

I am me
And not what you see..
I am much more
Than known to you four..!

I am deep
I am peace..
I may be stressed
But may still look at ease..!

I am glory
I am fun..
I may be suffering
And choose to show none..!

I am divine
I am pure..
I may be hurt
And still wish to be your cure…!

I am so you
You are so me..
Then why should we assume
With only so much – we can see?

I am tough
I am hard..
I may feel scared
Still want you to have a guard..!

I am water
That takes its shape..
I am of the colour
That the situation has to drape…

You judge me not
For I may be more…
Always remember –
Each of the wave experiences
A different sight of the shore..!!!
