In Life………


We witness moments of sorrow, moments of joy,

Moments of inaction, moments of strain!

Sometimes lost, sometimes focused,

Sometimes dreamy, sometimes practical!

Like there’s dusk and then dawn

The Circle goes on and on.

Without Sufferings, we learn no compassion.

Without dissatisfaction, thou hast no craving.

We commit mistakes, we seek wisdom,

We get hurt, unknowingly or else we make others miserable!

Life is one, beautiful and short..

We might not be lucky to get a second chance at all.

It’s mine, so I should make it!

May be I tip-toed till now, but from now on I’ll better leave my imprints.


For the world to learn:

It’s not in worthy men’s sayings, neither in successful men’s quotes

It’s in you, if you wish to find it; you’ll find it in your own soul.

Appose still Apart


Many a times….

I tried to speak my heart out to you;

Don’t know why every time I plugged up.

Fumbled or stammered,

Straying from the regular discourse, that’s where I ultimately ended up.


Many a times….

I wanted to sing out loud to the world;

Don’t know why each time I choked.

Words spilling out lost connection with the LAN,

Sweet melody into a melancholy, without a cue, permuted.


Many a times…

I felt like dancing to the tune of ecstasy;

Don’t know why I always got my feet tied together,

My body lost rhythm,

And the ‘beats’, I suddenly became its worst follower.


Many a times…

I craved to ‘walk together’ with you;

Don’t know why I walked myself to maze.

Stilled reflexes, Stance perplexing;

Comprehending your unmatched heart and mind shades.


Many a times…

I desired to love you like crazy;

Don’t know why I restrained.

Signal of same frequency; your heart didn’t reciprocate

May be cupid shot an arrow on me only dipped in gall!


Many a times…

I wanted to give me unto you;

Don’t know why my betraying pasts overruled.

Either a product of pent-up emotions;

Or the love between us not strong enough to ignite the candle of trust!


Many a times…

I tried dreaming my future with you;

Don’t know why mystic clouds subdued.


Now when we are not together anymore, I got to know "WHY”!
