Darkness

We all have our dark moments... When we feel so low and so sad, we start feeling out of place... We want to run away, we want to hide... And this can happen for any God Damn Reason... But the most common one is the one, when we are separated from the one person we love the most... And what we feel is something like this...

My heart

Lets out a sigh of pain...

Your thoughts

Are driving me insane...

Tears bursting out

As I walk down the memory lane...

Wishing hopelessly

For the rain...

To wash away

These scars of pain!

Thousands of dreams

All of them shattered...

Shattered to a millions pieces

Pieces, all over were scattered...

Scattered pieces

Can never be gathered...

Back again, in the eyes

The tears were ushered...

Tears rolling down

For the dreams all shattered!!

Hiding in the darkness

I was the one...

Was trying to hide the tears

So they are seen by no one...

And hiding the scars too

To avoid the curious gaze of someone...

I tried very hard

To keep it away from everyone...

Crying behind that smile

I was the one!!!

Twisted Times

We have a tendency of complaining about the various bad things existing in the society... how the society is becoming worse by the day and the stuff like that! But, do we realize that we ourselves are part of this society and that we could also take the the first step towards the betterment of the society??

These twisted times we live in

Oh how the times have changed...

We want to change others

But fail to look at ourselves

We want everyone to be perfect

When we ourselves are so imperfect

These twisted times we live in

Oh how the times have changed...

We look inside others' houses

But we cease to look inside ourselves

We want to control others' lives

When we have no control on our own life

These twisted times we live in

Oh how the times have changed...

We have no time for ourselves

Leave alone our families

Yet we manage to find time

To forward junk mail and messages

These twisted times we live in

Oh how the times have changed...

We openly blame others

Overlooking our own follies

We want others to be good to us

When we are rude to them

These twisted times we live in

Oh how the times have changed...

We'll teach others the good virtues

When we ill-treat our elders

Talking about moral values

Ourselves being so immoral

These twisted times we live in

Oh how the times have changed...

Finding faults with the system

When we are the ones making faults

Complaining about everything

When I'm myself a part of it

These twisted times I live in

Oh how the times have changed me...

God's Child

We, all of us, have a habit of saying - 'Why did you do this to me God?' and we usually ask this question, when something happens that is... uh... not in accordance with our wishes. But, how many times, do we stop and think about the situation and try to see, what is it that God wanted to teach us with this... Or how many times, do we stop and thank God, for making us his favorite child and making us go through these difficult times to teach us something valuable...

They told me...

I was a lucky person;

They told me...

God was on my side;

They told me...

I was the blessed child!

But,

They never told me...

Being lucky ain't all that good;

They never told me...

God was testing me;

They never told me...

Being blessed wasn't easy!!

Being a 'God's Child' means...

A tough situation on every step;

Being a 'God's Child' means...

A new exam every day;

Being a 'God's Child' means...

A difficult choice on every bend!!!

I have learnt it all...

Though the hard way;

I have learnt it all...

Though by making mistakes;

I have learnt it all...

Though by facing failure!!

But I have succeeded

But I have realized

But I have learned

Its not easy being

'God's Favorite Child'!

But again, 

Hidden in his tests...

Was his love for me;

Hidden in the obstacles...

Was his faith in me;

Hidden on this difficult path...

Was his way of strengthening me!!

Yes,

I am his lucky child...

I am his favorite child...

And I am thankful to him...

For choosing me to be his child!!!

Lonely Princess

Well, there's an old English proverb - Grass is Greener on the Other Side. Most of us think, that rich people are so happy, because they got money to buy them happiness, but we tend to forget that - money only buys you materialistic happiness and not true happiness... And thus we need to learn to remain happy with whatever we got and not envy others, but of course, that certainly doesn't mean we should stop aiming for higher achievements... Just that, we should remain grounded and not envy others of their achievements...

This poem is about one such girl, a princess... who truly understands what it means to be happy as the riches aren't the things that are making her happy!!

This bright day outside

Is of no use to me,

Because the pain and darkness inside

Has blinded me...

I seem to be walking

On a long dark road, 

All I am staring

Is this long road....

Screaming for help

I call out to somebody, anybody,

But for my help

Comes nobody...

I'm cold and I'm lost

And lonely beyond words,

To everyone, playing a host

But no one to help me in this whole world...

Does anyone care -

About what I want,

At their blank faces, I stare - 

Freedom is all I want...

This palace, this gold

Is not what I want,

I don't want to be like this, when I grow old

Yes, freedom is all that I want...

In this palace, I study

I play and I have to behave,

I don't have a single buddy

I'm trapped in this never ending cave...

I lost my childhood

I never played in rain, 

Or hide and seek in the woods

It is too much of the pain...

I want freedom

From this over-protected world,

I want freedom 

From this make belief world...

I want to fly free

Like others of my age,

I want to live my life

I want to get out of this cage...!

Her Beautiful Eyes

Her Beautiful Eyes is a poem about a blind girl... usually when we see a physically or mentally challenged person, we tend to be biased towards them. We think that those people are incapable of thinking, behaving or doing things the normal way... But God when takes away something from someone, he makes it a point to bless that person with other strengths. In this poem, I've tried to bring out the fact that even a physically challenged person is as much capable of doing normal things as we are... here the blind girl has same mysteries, same questions, similar dreams in her eyes... but we cease to notice them coz we are so full of our preconceived ideas...

No one saw her beautiful eyes...

No one saw

The depth in her eyes,

No one saw

Her curious eyes,

No one saw

The secrets hidden in her eyes,

No one saw

The questions rising in her eyes!

No one saw her beautiful eyes...

No one understood

The mysteries of the depth,

No one understood

Her curiosity towards life,

No one understood

How she hid her secrets,

No one understood

The questions in her eyes!

No one saw her beautiful eyes...

No one seemed to notice

The loneliness in her eyes,

No one seemed to notice

The pain in her eyes,

No one seemed to notice

The sad expression in her eyes,

No one seemed to notice

Her craving for the truth!

No one saw her beautiful eyes...

There was so much to be seen

In her beautiful eyes,

But those eyes could not see...

For she was blind!

No one ever noticed

Her beautiful eyes!

Life

I don't have much to say about this poem, just that, that everyone has a different outlook towards life... And this is how I see life, or more like, one of the ways I see life as...

Life... it's a roller coaster ride

Life... it keeps changing its site

It turns left and right

Sometimes it makes you fight...

Life... it can be smooth or rough

Life... it teaches you to be tough

It can be right or wrong

You have to be always strong...

Life... it twists and turns

Life... it makes you run

It makes you tun on the way

Never, from your objective, you should sway...

Life... it can be hard

Life... it teaches you to regard

It can be good or bad

You should always be happy, never sad...

Life... because it can be fun

Life... a sweet tune it can hum

It asks you to look at it differently

It helps you overcome every difficulty...

Life... is how you look at it

Life... it's the way you want it

It is so full of charm

It does you good, even if it harms...

Life... it is just so perfect

Life... believe in its every act

Because only you can make it beautiful

So perfect, so right and so blissful...

I Cherish

This is a sweet poem, obviously about lovers... where the girl is telling her guy, all that she cherishes about their relationship. Of course, not all can ever be listed down in words (most lovers would agree with me on this one) but still I've tried to pen down the essence of the whole of it...

The sparkle in your eyes

When you see me...

Is the sight

I cherish...

Lying on the bed

You breathing down my neck

Is the sound

I cherish...

On my body

After I've hugged you...

Is the smell

I cherish...

In my mouth

As I kiss you...

Is the taste

I cherish...

In your arms 

As you hold me

Is the touch

I cherish...

The mid night calls

The sweet messages...

Are the memories

I cherish...

The promises made

And the confessions made...

Are the memories

I cherish...

That crying together...

And smiling together...

Are the memories

I cherish...

Holding each other

Walking hand in hand...

Are the memories

I cherish...

Every single moment

I spent with you...

Is the time...

I cherish...!

Unpredictable Till The End

As is the preconceived idea, that it is difficult to understand the female breed... at times, it is even difficult to understand guys as well... They will say, they love you but then they wont be able to love you the way you want them to. More elaborately, most guys are scared of commitment and will try to stay away from it for as long as they can in spite of the fact that they love the girl. This poem is about such an unpredictable relationship...

You were there

But you were not there for me

You liked me

But you didn't like me enough

You wanted me

But you didn't want me as much

You loved me

But you didn't love to show the world

You wanted to give

But you didn't give what I wanted

You went away

But you came back again

Then you gave what I wanted

But it wasn't what you wanted

You wanted to stay

But you felt trapped

So you walked away again

Only to return

This time to stay forever

Because now you realized

I needed you

And you needed me

This time you kept the promise

And stayed till the end

Filling everyday

With new joys

But then you left me

This time never to return

This time I couldn't bring you back

Nor you came along

But it was God's will

And nothing could bring you back

But for as long as you were there

You loved me enough to last forever...

That Dreamy Night

Some people believe in God and his presence, so don't... For those who believe in him, well they can count many instances where they felt that God was there to take care of them or help them... Those people send tons of forwards telling of God's miracles... I myself believe in God, I know, he's out there somewhere... looking down at us... This poem talks about feeling the presence of God...

Moon was shining

And the stars twinkling...

Sky was clear and dark

Far ahead it was like an arc...

The wind was cold

And blowing away my dress's folds...

Water from the sea

Was splashing at my feet...

And I was walking on that beach

On that dreamy night!

I strained my ears

To hear every sound in the air...

Yes I was listening

To the voices of nature...

That song of moon

And the roaring of sea...

Chirping of crickets

And the howling wind!

And then I heard something else

It was someone walking, besides myself...

I strained every muscle of my eye

To see who it was...

All I could see

Were the footprints behind me...

I kept on walking

And that someone kept following!

I tried to hear some other voice -

'Take care, watch your step, you're doing nice...'

Someone was whispering

And I into the darkness kept staring...

And then I realized

It was then that opened my eyes...

And then I knew - 

It was experience by very few...

It was God himself

Whom I had felt taking care of myself!

I Ask You Why...?

Imagine yourself, facing problems in every direction you turn... What would you do? Most people turn to God and ask him - 'Why Me?' But then, God never answers... not directly at least. He does drop in hints which we fail to see... And thus we continue questioning his motives... This poem is about those endless questions we ask him...

Whenever I am happy

You leave me all sad...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I dream

You wake me up...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I smile

You leave tears behind...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I decide

You leave me all confused...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I am ready to choose

You take the options away...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I try to mingle

You leave me all alone...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I see rosebuds

You show me the thorns...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I speak

You leave no one to hear...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I leave

You block my way...

I ask you... why?

Whenever I question

You never reply...

And I ask you... why me again??

All Alone

This poem highlights the fact that whatever we do in our life time, we still come alone in this world and leave alone. No one accompanies us in either of these two situation, but human beings are still afraid of being alone... They forget, that they themselves are the only people who stay with themselves till the end and then afterwards and thus never enjoy the lone time they get...

A baby born,

Comes alone...

Then why does he,

For a company craves...

So why does he,

For some love craves...?

Why does he wants,

To be accepted...

Why does he needs,

To be wanted...?

What does he need, 

Friends for...

What does he fear, 

Making enemies for...?

Why does he smile,

When he finds someone...

Why does he cry,

On loss of someone...?

Why does he have to,

Feel lonely...

Why, when no one's around

Should he want some company...?

For an old man dead,

Dies all alone...!
