It's what it is..

Hold your head high

Let the light burn through you

Know that you can..always can..

Don't let your reality be colored by someone else's opinion

None of it is real and will never be

What is real..

What is true..

Is what you make of it!

And in the end, that is all that matters.

Acceptance...

If in roses, I find thorns

In fear my heart throngs

If in love, I find pain

In doubt my heart drains

If in emotions, I find words

In depth my heart hoards

If in my soul, I find me

In acceptance my heart's free

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...

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

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!

Why me?

If death came knocking on my door

I’d gladly open it and let it in…
It couldn't scare me, not anymore

If pain came along and asked me if I wanted more

I’d have to humbly decline…

For my basket was already full and overflowing

Feelings...

Why do you come?

Where do you go?

A little bit I care for some

A bit more as you grow

A touch of love

As white as a dove

A hint of pain

That sometimes drives me insane

Beyond my horizon....

In the beauty

Of a full moon night

I look for you

From behind the branches

That reach so far away

While sending back shivers

Through the leaves

That rustle whispers

In my ears

Of your voice…

I can almost feel

The pinching wind

Breezing through my hair

Leaving a whiff of your scent

That I breathe in…

…In want of more

Let it happen...

A time undone

Let love define

A path beckons

To life refine

Soak in illusion

As silkworms weave

An unparalleled fusion 

From a changing sieve

Affirmations...

Like this I will always follow my dream...

Like this I will always be strong to tackle anything that comes my way...

Like this no matter how great the temporary obstacle in my way, I will move on stronger and with the willpower that I can achieve what I set out to...

Like this I will always believe in all that is good and positive and pray that it will come my way...

Like this I will do more than speak, learn and observe more than crib...

Like this I will walk with my head held high and take every step with pride...

True Love

                                

To fall in love

Is not to waste

To rise above

May bitter taste

What you seek

In a cloudy haze

Makes you freak

Lost in a maze

Just wondering...

If you weren’t here today

Breaking bread; making toast

Where else would you be?

Raking head; crossing coasts

If you weren’t this old

Crossing legs; dreadful boasts

How young were you?

Drinking pegs; thinking ghosts

If you hadn’t failed

Making faces; shedding tears

How would you recognize success?

Taking paces; gulping beers

If this path you hadn’t taken

Pleasing people; forcing smiles

Would you have followed your heart’s desire?

Chasing tweeple; making piles

If you had never broken up

Being nice; breaking hearts

Would you know true love?

Much more wise; playing the right parts

If you weren’t slogging night and day

Pulling socks; tying ties

Would you be bungee jumping?

Over rocks; tasting pies

If you were not earning just this much

Listening Shakira; dreaming big

Would you be a millionaire?

Drowning tequilas; taking digs

If you weren’t moonstruck

Singing songs; moaning wrongs

Would you be starstruck?

Earning dollars; lifting collars

If you had lived a perfect life

Racing cars; raking galleons

Will you have ever learnt?

Braving scars, life’s true medallions?

Dear god...

Of all the winds

That blow

Is there one?

That my way will go?

For every breeze

Rustling it’s way

Amongst the trees

Will there be one?

That unto me will sway?

In every cuckoo’s call

Floating through the air

During every fall

Is there ever one?

Meant for me to care?

As the leaves busy bustle

On hearing the bird’s sound

That sit on their branches and rustle

Could there be one?

That falls for me unto the ground?

In every lashing wave

That the shores get hit

Will it be me you’ll save?

From every obstacle grave?

Through every sun’s beam

The dust sparkles in it’s ray

Shining upon a timeless dream

Will it be me?

Who’ll get showered with your magical spray?

From every thought divine

Which journeys through crossroads

A path, I see shine

Is that the one?

That’ll lead me through this episode?

For every love

Yearns to fill you to the brim

Yet you need shove

Is this the destiny?

To which you want me to swim?

Treasure

What you feel unto me

Is what I feel unto you

For what you never see

Is what I was meant to do

A pearl?

A diamond?

What exactly is it?

Close your eyes and quietly sit

You’ll carve your treasure as you see fit

If not for now

Then will it be tomorrow?

You’ll manifest your love

Unto me free of any sorrow?

I have waited long

Yet I know you’ll come

I know I won’t be wrong

To say it’s through your heart 

You’ll seek me from

The moon’s up high

The tides are lashing

It’s time I need buy

To hold you from crashing

Shiny and bright

Is not all am made of

Shimmery and tight

You think of me and scoff

But

You need know this

I’ve been yours always

With one golden kiss

You can summon me to the surface

I can feel your pace

Getting closer and closer

It’s your only race

You dare dread being a loser

You cannot resist

Neither your dreams or destiny

Coz that’s what persists

Inspite of your screams or lustiny

Believe in me

Make me yours

Trust in me

Above everything you’ll soar

A l’il faith is all I ask

As bright as gold you’ll shine

T’is in endless glory you’ll bask

As long as you are mine.

Birdy

At the edge

Eagerly, she waited

To flap out her wings
To fly over the mountain ledge

 On a broken window sill

Listening, she sat

To the sounds of worthy prey

To swoop down on her kill

Over the tree tops

Elegantly, she flew

To where the winds took her

To move on till her heart stops

On a brambled bush

Momentarily, she perched

To feel the cool breeze
To lift up with a l’il jerky push

Deep in the woods

Her soulmate, she found

To love she surrendered

To rise high above earthly goods

Inside the nest

Together, they built

To hold on to one another

To dream of the very best

Come spring

The flowers bloom

She cuddles her babies
Beneath her feathered wing

The time has come

They are ready to fly

She heaves a heavy sigh

Knowing she has to let go of some

It’s a beautiful scene

As they embrace

Eager to fly out

It’s a wonder

What such love could mean

And now she waits

Looking out into the deep blue sky

To start life anew

Even though she had to part with a few!

Faith

Imagination creates reality

Feelings build life

Belief gives life to life

But faith can move mountains!

Happiness begets happiness

Love given returns back multiplied

Joy radiates abundance

But faith can move the universe!

Gratitude is everything

‘Thank you’ is magical

Feeling good is beautiful

But faith is magnificent!

Strength ushers you forward

Goals help you visualize

Destination drives you

But faith makes you achieve!

Friendship lasts forever

Family sticks to you

Prayer inspires you

But faith always exists!

Stumbling now and then

Teaches you life’s biggest lessons

Realizations come from failure

But faith never knows how to fail!

Focus attracts right thinking

Passion fires you up

Dedication brings confidence

But it’s FAITH and FAITH alone that makes all the difference!!

Me and my thoughts!

I might be writing this now
I could be penning down my thoughts
It sometimes makes me wonder how

I sit down and think with a smile
Let my mind wander awhile
Roam over the days deeds
To see if it could be somewhere it leads

I may not be able to define
The expressions more feminine
But I know deep down
It’s my attitude freshly mown
I sing along as I pen
Figuring out my mind’s den
My thoughts could be one place
And my writing on another face
Yet it manages to take shape
Despite having been like a lost snow flake
Landscapes, sceneries, snow peaked mountains, waterfalls…I could be thinking
Chirping, rustling, hooting, howling, lashing, buzzing…I might be linking
Wet earth, flowery fragrance, an unmistakable essence….i could be smelling
Friendship, love, hate, pain, sorrow….my mind could be dwelling
Ultimately what goes around comes around
With beauty defined beyond bounds
And that’s exactly what makes me plot
No matter what the thought!

Passing thought...

A drop of tear
And I have no fear
A touch of love
Neither there nor here!
A sense of belonging
Not too far or near
A feeling of loneliness
But not a soul to hear!
A brush of friendship
How beautiful yet dear
An echo of my heart beat
So simple yet clear!

A wish...

Not every sunshine can make you smile
Not every moonlight can make you love!
I look up at the stars awhile…
If only I could hold’em in my glove!
I stare at the sunset…
How scenic just as the waves lick’em wet!
How I wish I was up above there
Looking down upon the world somewhere…..!
When time passes by me…
I wonder how life was meant to be…!
When life moves ahead
I wonder how the past would have been instead!
When the past just goes by
I wonder of the future with a sigh!
As the future evolves
I watch the present dissolve!
How I wish I could go back
Make a few changes here and there….
Just to see if it’ll lead somewhere
