A walk to remember...: 2014

Thumb

"....have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Selfie Saturdays #12

Happiness is being still..
Listening to the sound of silence within you..
Appreciating every passing second..
Being aware of every breath you take..
Knowing in that very moment..
That you are ALIVE...!

Trust your instincts

Do what feels right

Listen to your heart

It always leads you in the right direction!!

Selfie Saturdays #9

As all of me

Stands on a wire

A part of me

Is set afire

To seek yet find

The weak in my mind

To kill what wasn't

To perfect what isn't

Living on the edge

Building my sledge...

There and back again...

Like a new song now

That's flowing down

A river of lyrics

Music and limericks

What wouldn't I give

To sing out loud

Every note strung strong

As my heart beats along

Selfie Saturdays #8

What you make of your life

Is totally up to you

But what you let life make of you

Is the truest test of your character...!

Life halts
Life hiccups
Life swerves
Life thrills
Life loves
Life seeks
Life finds
Life remembers
Life changes
Life goes on..
Choose wisely
Coz life's worth it...!

Death...

Death is but the beginning,

The beginning of the end,

The end of who you were

And who you were,

Is nowhere close to who you are meant to be!

An eye opener

A time turner

A life churner

An ego burner

Selfie Saturdays #6

Amidst white shores

Walk triumphant oaths

Unto those stars you gaze

Let your dreams come forth

Run swift now, unfazed

Amidst sweeping waves

And changing capes

Run now! As fast as you can!

Unto them dreams

That for so long, from you have escaped...

Knowing..

A willing mind

Walks gently now

It will in darkness find

A path long left somehow

A trusting heart

Breaks the silence

Wagering paths apart

Moulding conscience

A steadfast grip

Upon dream's threshold

It cannot let slip

What faith must unfold...

Sometimes you've just gotta stop letting things get to you

Sometimes you've just gotta go with the flow

Sometimes you've just got to ignore the 'insensitives'

Sometimes you've just gotta do your thing...

Selfie Saturdays #4

First of all I'd like to apologise for not being able to post any Selfies the last few weeks. Been travelling + Lack of access to good internet connectivity. Well, am back home, so keeping up with the momentum is no longer an issue!!:))

So here's today's Selfie :

Take the road less travelled.

Forge a way of your own.

If you get lost,

you at least know your way back!

If you make it,

you leave a path unfound, behind..

'Living life to the fullest
is learning
to love yourself first
over and above the others
you already do..
I dare you!'

'Sometimes keeping things simple

is the most complicated thing

that you will ever do

only to realise the beauty

of it's simplicity in the end!'

Which also reminds me of the fact that:
'Everything is simple if you'd only let it be..!'

If only I had the answers...

Why is it that some scars simply refuse to heal?

Why is it that some memories return to haunt you over and over again?

Why is it that when you could once feel the pain, you can't feel it any longer?

Why is it that there is always someone around the corner to break your trust?

Why is it that death constantly feels like an easy way out?

Why is it that 'depression' fails to leave it's hinges?

Why is it that you give permission to people to hurt you one more time when they just did?

Why is it that when life just starts looking up you unconsciously shy away from it?

Why is it that you feel lonelier that the loneliest you have felt?

Here I am...

Here I am

Notice me

I can see you

But, can you?

I'll stay

As long as you want

Standing right here

Like always

I felt this back then

I think I feel it now

Not sure anymore

What this is?

How can I tell?

Selfie Saturdays #1

I've been thinking for awhile to make a list of all the 'A-HA' moments that hit me once in awhile. You know one of those times when you just realise something - whether it's about life, yourself, people around you, family, friendship, out of the box, crazy, funny, 'Oh hold on! This doesn't make any sense!' or 'You've gotta be kiddin' me!' liners. So finally I've come up with my 'Selfies' - Nope not the 'Look-at- me' pics taken by an extended arm kind but more of a 'This-is-what-i-think' liners of an extended mind kind!! I wanted to do it regularly so here I give u 'Selfie Saturdays'. Just stuff that I think is worth sharing rather than leaving it to be forgotten in my Random Access Memory..:)

So here's today's Selfie :

'Getting into photography is just like getting into a relationship -

Exciting in the beginning,

Confusing in the middle,

Burn-out somewhere in between,

Passionate towards the end if it still gets you excited..

In the end you realise - The beginning will always be the best part of your story!'

Love..

I saw love and yet didn't

It was hiding behind my door

Crouching like a mouse

I didn't know what to do

But I took a step forward

Bent down a bit

And gave it a comforting look

It stared back still scared

What next I thought?

I fumbled, looking for the right words to pick on

See I didn't want to hurt it, even by chance

This was my first encounter with love

Never dreamt I'd run into it

In a state as such!

I reached out with my hand

Thought I'll help it stand upright

Before anything was said and done

Love looked up with big, bold, beautiful eyes at me

You'll never know...

You'll

Never Know

True love

Until it breaks

Your Heart..

You'll

Never Know

Real strength

Of character

Until it's

Tested infinitely..

Love someone, for love is real
Even if you have to stand and smile alone
Love someone, for who they are
Not what you hoped they would be
Love someone, inspite of love
You don't need a reason
Love someone, because you want to

Not to be loved back

Love someone, because you really do

Even if they don't

Wake me up...

The lyrics of the song 'Wake me up' by Avicii that inspired this poem..

It took awhile to realise

What this was,

That wasn't over

A step ahead

A step back

A hiccup of fear

I knew it clear

I took my time

With every line

On a canvas I drew

The thoughts words threw

Love is in the air...

Love is in the air

Take time to spare

Every moment bare

Its not what you wear!

Looking bleary eyed

Hair locks tied

Staring ahead wide

It's time...

Hop onto the ride...

A butterfly flutter

A stomaching mutter

Make sure you don't stutter

It'll be as smooth as butter!

Transcendence...

A second's thought

A heart sought
As time bought
This moment caught

A silent dark
A night stark
Make your mark
Before the morning lark

Peacefully still
Observe every moment fulfill
A meditative thrill
The world's your window sill...
