Warrior

Picture source: unknown

There’s a warrior in me,
That earlier, I couldn’t see,
Some saw it, and reminded me,
That defiance, I thought so queer,
Was my essence igniting
My reasons to exist,
There was a warrior I could not see!

Bland

The colours of the rainbow are faded,
The leaves are pale green.
Life seemed to snail crawl.
The wind is still, stuck on the trees.
Someone, please set it free.
For I want to breathe again.
Thunder bring me the rain.
Slowly, drench my soul,
Wash away my pain,
Thirst for knowledge, grows.
Lost consciousness, regained?
Let peace dwells, in this moment.
Within, I dive deep,
May I rise, afloat,
Why is life bland, today?
Introspects my gypsy soul!

डर

कोई हमे धमका के डराए ज़रूरी नहीं,
हम तो आपने अक्स से भी डर जाते हैं।
यहां दोस्ती में ही सकून है जनाब,
प्यार में तो अक्सर खता खाते हैं।
यह मुमकिन है चोट लगे और मर जाएं लोग,
पर अक्सर डर के डर से भी, कई मर जाते हैं।

Humanize

Feel to heal

Let’s humanize this sadness.
My dear,
Let’s acknowledge this pain.
However,
Don’t allow the situation scare you.
Don’t let the struggles go in vain.
For,
You are stronger than the obstacles.
Braver than your fears.
Yes,
You might have shed tears.
These shadows are not,
Your darkness.
As, you might believe.
These, undoubtedly, reveal,
The in-deniable presence of your light.
So, Experience! Feel! Humanize!

Unwaved Goodbyes

I know how hard you try,
Those unsaid apologies,
Those unwaved goodbyes.
The ego fights a battle,
The self-esteem sighs.
Some hard truths, some lies.
Such intricate fabric of life.
Labyrinth of thoughts,
The matrix we try to defy.
Whether to wait or to try?
I am drowning in the ocean
Of my own creation.
Where in the world is, respite?
More I observe, more I identify,
Transitory nature of my life!

Wrinkled heart of mine

Love at first sight?
Hmmm…. Cliché?
Are there any rules?
Can love exist on the hindsight too?
Can Love can sneak in from the backdoor?
Can it happen when you least expect?
With someone who seems
To be on another planet?
And maybe beyond your league?
Can it be more than an illusion?
Can it endure distance, time and silence?
It must be the affect of the Valentine’s decorations,
Today my pen bleeds.
And my cracked heart aches a little.
Yes, the heart, that I had presented you,
Decorated with bows and ribbons,
Maybe, you had to hush it away,
And there you placed it in,
That book, I once gave,
So my heart is now crushed, dusty and wrinkled.
Today, the intoxication is in the air.
For Cupid knows neither-
Astrology nor Psychology!
Love’s beautiful, yet insane!
Maybe we’ll never meet again.
Yet, you’ll always be alive,
In that torn, dusty,
Wrinkled heart of mine!

Blame it on the Cupid!

When things go wrong,
As they sometimes would.
When your expectations
Go unmet, as they could.
When you people-please,
In order to keep peace.
While playing ego games,
To win their love,
To validate your worth.
Still no flame kindles.
For them love is a prison!
They have their reason!
Let the accountability alone!
Blame it on the cupid-
For all that’s gone wrong!

Life is a catalyst!

There is so much to learn about one’s own self. We keep making these mistakes of thinking we can bring about change in others. Even as a teacher or parent I can simply model a behaviour. The capacity in others to observe and imbibe is beyond my domain. The ideas as to how “life should be” are all crap. Life is a catalyst for its own evolution. We simply need to observe, reflect and absorb. All the awakening, spirituality, and religions (in uncorrupted form) are about a man getting closer to his inner self. Awareness is the key to our path. What we experience is based on our perception. And in turn, experiences create our perceptions. If we are disconnected from ourselves our perceptions would be based on our societal and cultural beliefs. This results in experiences that are detrimental to our growth. However, extreme experiences that shake us – change us, as it is our perception that changes. That is why, people going through pain, heartbreak, suffering change. Let’s all learn to be kind. Life goes an upgrade when our mind, our perceptions and our thoughts go through an upgrade. We start to have correctional experiences that provide us safety and validations we need. As our perceptions begin to form based on our own internal values, we begin to manifest a life of our choice. This happens as we become an upgraded version of ourselves.

एक टुकड़ा आसमान का

आज दिल में जागे अरमान,
सोचा संजोलूं कुछ सामान,
भर लूं अपनी झोली,
रहें न खवाईशें अधूरी।
मन ने फरमाइश की अभी,
मुझे चाहिए यह सभी –
एक टुकड़ा आसमान का,
एक बादल का, एक चांद का,
एक तारा, एक रेत का कर्ण,
धूप की इक किरण,
मिट्टी की खुशबू,
फूलों की महक,
ओस की नमी,
बांसुरी की धुन,
इंद्रधनुष के रंग,
अपनो का संग,
आम की मिठास,
प्यारा का एहसास,
क्योंकि,
कल क्या हो, क्या पता!
आज में सब फलसफा

Energy not Chemistry!

Do my words convey you a meaning?
When I am silent do you miss me?
Does the wind whispers in your ears?
Does the rain tells you about my tears?
Do you want to be here?
Do you wish I was there?
Silent sighs.
Pounding hearts.
Melancholy in thoughts.
No, no, I am not talking about love.
For love is an art!
For a privileged few.
I am talking about a connection,
Real and true!
I am talking about a mystery.
About energy and not Chemistry!
Realize, focus consciously.
Hey, be the Alchemist.
Create precious destiny!
