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.
