Dare to dream

Stand up tall,

And face the world.

O dear butterfly,

Just take my word.

Leave the cocoon,

And come out of the shell.

The world is beautiful,

Put all your fears on a quell.

Don't be shy,

Dare to dream.

And once you dream,

Make sure your anxieties are creamed.

Don't confine,

Break the shackles.

Courage, my dear

Is the key to all miracles.

Look at the crab,

It stays within its shell.

But to witness light,

Even it has to move out of the pall.

The efforts you make,

Will help you shine.

The wings fully grown

Will take you to cloud nine.

So put all your worries aside,

It's time to take that first stride.

Take your big leap,

Abandon the sheath.

For those beautiful wings,

Are hidden beneath.

O dear, remember the heed,

Only those who act, get the lead.

Even the most beautiful painting,

Was once white.

It took the artist numerous strokes

To turn it into a beautiful sight.

Friend...

Have you seen a lighthouse, my friend?

Giving off light and guiding

the sailors,in the far distant sea,

Standing firm like a life tree.

Ships come sailing,

Finding path in its light,

And it keeps glowing and glowing

Never giving up against darkness,

And continues its fight.

Have you seen a candle, my friend?

The small little candle,when lights

The whole aura, it enlights.

It shields the feeble thread inside,

And would burn itself,

To keep the thread at core enlightened with pride.

On this life journey,

When I set for sailing

I'm carefree and blithe,

Cuz I know I have you, standing firm as a lighthouse,

Comforting me with your care

And trailing everywhere.

When there's no light around

And I find myself in dark,

I look to you, knowing

You are the candle, to wipe

The darkness so stark.

Did I tell you my friend, the story of sun?

It rises every morning

And sets everyday to give,

A new day with every new dawn.

But you, my friend, are the Sun

That keeps glowing throughout the night,

And this shine makes every wrong feel like so right.

Cry of a despondent mind

Darkness has crept in

Engulfing hope within

Dreams which rested,

In these eyes

Seem to have vanished,

Far away in those distant skies.

As time goes on

Life unfolds its another form.

All the courage vanishes,

With every passing day

Leaving me in utter dismay.

There's a hollow,

Inside me, leaving me

Out of sense,

And pushing me far away,

Seemingly into a nothingness.

I am lost in this wordly crowd

The dreams and desires,

Left my side.

Hope has faded away,which once

Helped me to stand out.

I wander lonely, in this

lonesome world.

Pacing up and down all night worrying

Waiting for twilight,

Anticipating riddance of my miserable plight.

Confession of a loving heart..

Every morning I open my eyes,

To see you standing by my bedside.

And as I lean forward to hold you,

You disapper like a flash of light.

I look in the mirror,

I find you standing at my rear.

I glance at you,

To see you disappear.

In the bask of sun,

I seek warmth,

But nothing can compare to

The affection in the wrap of your arms.

Your thoughts captivate me

My love for you casts a spell on me.

One moment my heart aches for you,

And another, it blooms thinking about you.

I fly like a bird,

I touch the skies,

I connect to the moon and stars,

Repudiating all the bonds and ties.

I like you,

I'm crazy for u,

I want you to hold me

These burning feelings I want you to catch.

I want to sing with you,

I want to dance.

I don't want to let go

Those moment of trance.

I like you with all my heart

I don't know when my eyes locked on you,

But that marked this new chapter's start.

Gone are the moments

When I couldn't speak.

I want to confess my love for you

Are you all set to listen to my plea?

The Core Death

What is this void within me

Sucking all the happiness,

And bounding my spirit which was

Once so free.

The tree which was green

Stands lifeless

Never knowing,

Chi was waiting to egress.

The place where,

Once life flourished

All the vitality

Now seems to be perished.

Little bud opened its eyes

Dancing with the joy,

Sky rised high.

As the days passed,

Shoot grew into a lovely flower.

Heavens seemed to drink

From its colourful shower.

Now stands the trunk

So dull and pale

Leaving no signs of life,

No energy trail.

That is how it goes on

A new life is born

To laugh, sing and dance

And eventually it vanishes off

But life moves on and on..

The beauty of mother nature

Sitting on the cliff

Along the coastline

Keeping my eyes closed

Enjoying the aura so divine.

Away from the crowd,

In an ambience so serene

Waves striking and returning

In the depths of water so blue and clean.

Wind blowing, caressing my cheeks

Hugging and filling me deep with relief

Ripples in the sea are rhythmic,

Making with the breeze, a flawless sync

The melody fills the veins,

When nature plays with the perfection so plain.

Slowly I open my eyes

The lush green of algae

Makes a picturesque sight.

Sun rises

And comes above the horizon,

Painting on the canvas of sky

An orange yellow pattern.

The golden rays,

Spread all over

Giving a touch of tan

To blues of  water,

And I smile and relish

The beauty of mother nature.

Clouds of fear, sun of success

I stand on the podium,

Getting accolades

And applauds echoing in my ear

I remember those days, spent in fear.

The fear of failure,

The fear to lose,

A feeling I hated,

More than a booze.

It felt gloomy,

It felt dark

I used to wonder

Why I can't be a gay lark.

With the taxing times

Coming ahead

I could not find

Myself at rest.

Then came an angel,

Into my life

And helped me know,

Happiness does not come

Where anxieties rife.

I saw my angel,

I saw God

I looked back,

And I knew, fallacious is, what he was not.

He wiped the darkness

And helped me conquer the fear

He had this belief in me,

And was there for me to cheer.

He instilled in me

This very thought

Failure is not end, but a bend

And I consented with a nod.

I walked on the road to success,

I found the path

This journey from dusk to dawn,

Taught me I could have never seen the sun

With clouds of apprehension on my lawn.

A walk to remember

Standing by my window

I look outside,

Going back to the memory lanes

Mind gets sweeped with emotional tide.

I look at the kids,

Playing in the street

They remind me of the childhood

That was a phase, very sweet.

Those were the days

When smiles and giggles mattered

Now reign the dreams,

Half fulfilled and half shattered!

Balloons, candies, toys

Made Aladdin's treasure

Even the millions we earn today,

Can't give that pleasure.

Better marks and grades,

Did not matter

Mickey and Minnie

Decorated room corner

When I ask myself,

What is childhood

A voice within me says,

It's when one doesn't have to

Worry about livelihood.

The carefree plays,

And joyful rides

Cycling down the streets,

And up on the hillside.

Rushing to the playground

With a gleeful laughter,

Mother warning and shouting

But never looking after!

A ball comes,

Swinging in the air

Bringing me back to the window,

I started from where!

The Almighty..

He is great,

He is kind,

I bow my head,

In his shrine.

He is the knowledge,

He is the power,

He's the one,

Who gave me strength

To pull through so far.

He is the hope,

He is the Blessing,

He is the one,

Who keeps the world running.

He is faith,

He is fate

Wen in distress

Every one's mate.

His shower of blessings

Has no end

Anyone who believes in him,

Is welcome to his land.

He gave me mom,

He gave me dad,

A sweet little sister

To always hold my hand.

He preached love

He gave life

He made this beautiful Earth

Where we all survive.

He's the nature

He's the beauty

He's the light,

When everything feels murky.

He's the almighty

He's the GOD

 The guiding force,

Protecting us all!

Are you the one I am in love with??

The mystery remains within me

Are you the one i'm in love with?

You make me smile

And the other moment I have tears in my eyes.

One moment u make me feel wanted

And the other moment I feel you to be so indifferent.

This feeling gives me a tang of pain,

Still my feelings for you remain all the same.

Last night I saw a dream

You were there standing with all the gleam

Like a star shining up in the sky

Which can't be reached, no matter how hard I try!

They say Times change, people change

then why do my feelings for you remain the same?

I have seen you change

And this encourages me to change with your change.

Alas, you matter to me all the same.

Missing you is pleasure,

Missing you is pain

But it's the tender feeling for you that helps me sustain.

What is this feeling I don't know

But you are the one who makes me glow.

This relationship we share,

What you want to call it

I don't care.

I don't want to name it

I just know you are among the best things

That ever happened to me.

But tell me something

Are you the one I'm in love with???

LAID BACK FLIGHT..

When loneliness surrounds me,

I seek warmth and affection.

And i go back to those nostalgic memories.

But in the bask of sun,

Under the clear sky

I feel the warmth that gives me the strength,

To fly away across the blue sky.

I see flowers blossoming everywhere,

Which is a reflection of the bliss of my heart.

This joy, this feeling gives me hope

I'll someday reach those distant stars.

It seems the dreams are coming true,

Life's becoming passionate and worthy too.

And i fly up and high, in the bosom of sky...

Embracing the rainbows, that make me feel alive!!!
