Incomplete Poetries

There is something poetic about those unfulfilled dreams,
Something beautiful as it seems,

Untravelled places,
Unread books,
Unsaid words,
Unexpressed emotions,
Sleepless nights,
And in the mind goes on and on a series of endless fights,

Canvas left half painted,
Broken pieces of self which remain unmended,
Lump in the throat,
Tears welled up in the eyes,

Unachieved goals,
Unaccompanied journeys,
Unacceptable guilts,
Unrequited love,
Undesirable pains,

There is something poetic about those unfulfilled dreams,
Something beautiful as it seems,
About unsolved mysteries,
Unwritten stories,
And incomplete poetries....

TWISTS OF DESTINY

Too close to say goodbye,
Too far to be alongside,
Distances between us,
Still remains,

Too strong to break,
Too fragile to be inviolable,
Somehow this bond,
Still remains,

Too surreal to be real,
Too real to be delusive,
Unfulfilled dream,
Still remains,

Too intricate to discern,
Too simple to be perplexing,
Unsolved mystery,
Still remains.

Vibrant Autumn

I am falling in love autumn,
Golden and crimson leaves,
Bid adieu to the branches where they had clinged on,
With rustling sound,
They fall down,
Going with the flow of winds,
They traverse through the unknown paths,
Their careless whispers fill the air,
As if chattering and laughing,
As if dancing to the tunes of nature,
Heedless of the directions,
They trust the winds as their guide,

The trees left behind,
Would be bare for some time,
But they would heal and welcome the new,
With the passage of time,

It's the season of letting go,
Time to learn and grow,
Vibrant autumn!

FREE

When I left my body,
I knew I would drift away in the tunnel of light,
But I waited to have a look at my body,
And introspect about my days spent living with it,
I could see the wounds,
But felt no pain,
Though feeling light,
It was heavy that all my efforts had gone vain,

Pleasing others,
Seeking their approval,
I lived each day as per their wishes,
I had killed my own desires,
I had no dreams left,

Now I was free,
Enlightened by the wisdom,
Wordly pleasures are superficial!

IT'S HER WORLD

She is not searching for a support to cling on to,

She is all by herself on the adventure called life,

She can choose if she wants to be with someone,

It is a choice and not need,

She is stronger than what you think,

Not many can decipher her emotions,

Not many can feel the way she does,

She has set a strong foundation for herself,

Based on her own convictions,

Keep away if her independence scares you,

Keep away if her goals intimidate you,

She will choose only the one 

... who can keep up with her passion,

... who can appreciate her intelligence,

... who can dare not to invade her personal space,

Don't play with the flame if you are afraid of fire,

If she falls for you, she will light up your life,

If you mess with her, be ready to burn .

Wisdom for Life

On the mystique journey of life,
Travelling the paths strangled with strangers,
Packed with
...surprises as surreal as a dreams coming true,
...shocks that leave one baffled,
...lessons too difficult to decipher,
...challenges seeming too difficult to confront,
...encounters too deluded to be good or bad,

In a world perceived as hostile and friendly simultaneously,
Leave a legacy behind,

Be a prodigy,
Of prudence, kindness and valour.

Not Again . . .

No.. Don't come back,
I have moved on...
And don't wanna get robbed of peace of mind again,

I had become vulnerable by revealing all of my deepest emotions,
And it took time to pull myself up,
To become strong once again,

I remember how restless I used to be,
When petty issues turned to big fights,
When I tried to explain and my word went unheeded,
And I used to weep alone again and again,

I had shut the door on your face,
The expanse of my world cannot get limited to only one feeling,
I shattered my own dreams,
Which I would never live again,

No, don't knock the door,
I know it's a new face,
Carrying the same feeling of love which I don't wanna dive into again ...

Chasing the light .....

I wandered and roamed,
Rode up the hill,
And crossed the bridge leading to the other side of the road,
And took the path to the lesser known place,
Then..
There was a pause...
Was it the path to my destination...
No...
I turned back and decided to follow the light,
I took the path with twists and turns,
Filled with the unknowns,
I was chasing the light of the setting sun.

IF ONLY .....

I wanted to tell you ...
How my days went by,
How restlessly my nights were spent,
How it felt on the thunderous rainy days,

I wanted to tell you..
How soothing I found the sound of crackling leaves
When stepping on these after the fall,
How these small joyful moments could create eternal memories,
How the child in me longs for such sweet little things,

I wanted to tell you,
The deepest and darkest secrets of mine,
To share the smallest of joys,
To forgive and forget every mistake...
.... If only you could have stayed for one more moment....

NUMB

There is darkness...

In a moment I turn stone cold,

Eyes become teary,

The big lump in throat is difficult to hold,

There is a void...

It is indecipherable,

It's a feeling which is undesirable,

There is turmoil...

There is chaos and screams inside,

Mind runs across a barren land,

It makes me numb,

Only emotion I feel is, 

Sand of time slipping from my hand..

WARM WINTER

The fall is over,

Do you feel cold when you touch the windowpane,

Do you feel chilly & crisp breezes,

Here comes the winter again!

It's the time... 

...for conversations over hot coffee,

...to express feelings once left unsaid,

...to bid adieu to unpleasant events,

...to wrap up  the precious memories & move ahead,

It's the time...

...to reflect on the deeds done,

...to grab the chance to help a needy fighting cold,

...to light a path for the one who has lost hope,

...to let go of the grudges that we hold,

The year ends with festivities,

It's an opportunity to make the winter warm,

As we embark on a journey again

With miles to go on!

ILLUSIONS

Wish our paths had not crossed,
Giving no place to false promises,

It was better to be own,
And have no place to confide in,
Rather than beseeching for it,

It was better to get hurt,
And rise up on own,
Rather than living a delusion of having someone who would stand by,

It was better to get bruised,
Rather than breaking down,

Words gone futile,
Actions gone in vain,
Hope rising backed up by illusions,
Do not forever remain.

BITTER TRUTH

Yes! it's true,
People leave when adversity strikes,
When at lows,
That's when no one stands besides,

Yes! it's true,
The promises made are verbal traps,
Those are illusions created to temporarily fill the gaps,

Yes! it's true,
The pretentious are respected,
And the natural ones simply get rejected,

Yes! it's true,
The age of downfall is here,
When the bitter truths die,
And lies survive.

Life of Simple Pleasures

Hey! I am not looking for gems or jewels,
Rather I want a life where a bunch of small pleasures dwells,

Be it winter,
And I wrap myself in blanket,
And I fall asleep reading the book with stories full of enchantment,

Be it spring,
And i watch the flowers bloom,
I take a walk in a garden,
And forget the winter's gloom,

Be it summer,
And I rush back to my shelter escaping the heat,
I quench my thirst with water cold and sweet,

Be it rain,
And yes it the first rain of the season,
I enjoy the petrichor,
And witnesses the earth pacifying and changing its color,

And i walk on the lonely road celebrating autumn,
And listen to the crackling sound of leaves,
As I take each step on the trail golden,

Be it cuddling those puppies I see on the road,
Or revisiting the places where mountains echoed,

Be it feeling the waves from vast ocean touch my feet,
And I bid them farewell as blue waters they again meet,

Be it watching the sun setting down the horizon,
And I peacefully close my eyes as sky turns twinkling black from crimson!!!

DON'T JUDGE!!!

You haven't walked the roads I have,
You haven't fallen down at the places I have,
You haven't fought the battles I have,
You haven't even seen those wounds I had suffered,
You don't know how I got those scars,
You haven't walked into my shoes,
You haven't sunk down to the bottom from where I rose up,
You haven't learnt the lessons I have,
You were not fortunate enough to have experienced what I have,
DON'T JUDGE ME!!!

IF YOU BE MINE.......

I would fall a hundred times,
If you pick me up,

I would not be afraid of the dark,
If you walk the path with me,

I would be ready to get hurt,
If you would mend my heart,

Griefs and sorrows would just pass by,
If you stand by my side,

Worries would be momentary,
If you give me hope,

My life would be a celebration,
If you smile,

I would die to be born again and again,
If you be mine lifetime after lifetime...

Odyssey

The canvas of life is decorated with mysteries,
Some are scary,
Some are seductive,

Life flows like a river,

Some attempt to swim against it,
And experience the rapture of overcoming the unknowns,

Some get carried away,
And loose themselves in the current of life's flow,
The colours of canvas start to fade,

Some finite minds,
Waste the time judging people and holding grudges,
Finite minds deluded with darkness,
Arrive to the conclusions quickly,
And sadden and hurt many hearts,

We feel the life pumping through our veins,
Slowly it leaks away,
The emotional odyssey comes to an end,
The cycle of life and death remains ,
Born again in the world those finite minds,
Face the wrath of the deeds again....

MISSING YOU!!!

The good morning kisses on forehead,
When I woke up beside you,
In your embrace,
I found comfort and level,

The road that we travelled was long,
With twists and turns, curling around,
But I felt safe,
Because I was with my love,
I could let myself free,
And enjoy the unknowns with you,

That day we were silent,
Looking into each other's eyes,
Tears playing hide and seek,
Knowing that it was the moment to say goodbye,

The kisses get replaced by texts,
And we miss those cozy, loving moments.

GOODBYE TILL WE MEET AGAIN

It's amazing to see how quickly the time changes,
Like the ceaselessly flowing river,
It never stops,

With the blink of an eye,
Comes the time to say goodbye,
It's the most difficult part of meeting someone who means a lot,

Feels like we just met,
And you are moving away,

Heart aches,
And i loose myself,
It's a void that I feel when you leave,
It's a void that nothing can fill,

With you I never want the time to pass by,
I wish it would just stand by,

Tears fall like rain,
It's silence, sorrow and pain,

Though I know it's not the end,
These feelings I can't refrain,
With you, it's never a goodbye,
It's just that I will miss you more and more,
Till we meet again.

Crossroads of Life...

Some moments just fly,
And mind cannot decipher,
Whether those are priceless memories,
Or the things one should forget,
If those were the happy days,
How can those memories make eyes wet,

There are tangled thoughts,
We stand at the crossroad of choices,
Trying to figure out which path to take,
Whether the result would be victory,
Or it would be one more mistake,

Doors are slammed on face,
Mind gets clouded,
It feels wearied,
Dreams get shrouded,

Though for the time being,
It remains undiscerned,
At the end,
Life would be a treasure of lessons learned!
