Give me a slice of Heaven !!

2011-04-21T07:30:00.000-07:00

Even if there is little hope,

With the pall of gloom looms large,

The wrecks of despair,

And the disdained thoughts,

The life is shaken, cannot merge;

With the greater world,

Into the divine bliss,

For a shelter, for a shoulder to cry on,

The bleeding hearts and

The bruised souls,

Falling apart,

Too weak to move on.

Messy world! Ruthless life!

The cribs grow in number,

Clouded thoughts, broken hearts,

There’s no hope, no desire,

For a better place,

For an easy life,

For peace, happiness to reign,

Lets walk hand in hand,

Lets take the set of commands,

Lets build a slice of a Heaven!

Forever Sunshine , Shine on Me ..

2010-05-17T10:32:00.000-07:00

Such a pleasant morning it is,
A string of words , a divine bliss.
Surfing through the clouds of sorrow,
To usher in new hope; a better tomorrow,
To dive deep in the ocean of glee,
Forever, ‘Sunshine, shine on me’.

New life, new hope surrounds my mind,
Living through this phase, let it unwind,
Alike the palm trees swaying in the breeze,
Caress of the zephyr with glitters & glitz,
When I behold you through the rays of the sun,
Sparkles in your eyes brightening up the long run,
Of my ways , of my mission, of my journey;
As ever Sunshine, please shine on me!

The plethora of changes happening so fast,
Not even my dreams, the effect is to last,
Would like to hug you, life , even you’re light- years away,
‘Changes are constant’ often they like to say,
Though high is the demand, as life would command,
No matter how tough it is, to make it really grand,
From the sky above , to deep down the sea,
All over, ‘Sunshine, shine on me’ .

Twenty Five Years Ago....

2009-12-12T19:24:00.000-08:00

The train of thoughts,
The bunch of happiness,
The flow of words ,
The song of love,
We sang twenty-five years ago.

The bank of the river,
The caress of the breeze,
The rustling of leaves,
The rays of the sun,
We immersed in twenty-five years ago.

The splash of the rains,
The dancing clouds,
The sparkles in the dew-drops,
The shinning stars,
Rejuvenating our souls twenty-five years ago.

The time marched on, we parted our ways,
The memory of the days still makes me sway
Into the realm of happiness we used to share,
Into the oasis of my life you did care,
My last wish for you, wherever you are,
Be my love, You are mine forever.

The Destination.....

2009-07-18T22:38:00.000-07:00

I dreamt a dream last night,
Driving all the way, to my delight,
No stops, no hurdles, the journey is on,
Flying high, humming my favorite song,
Till my path crosses with an old man’s,
His face full of smile,
Grappling to stand with his stick,
My pace pauses for a while.

Shabby dress, unkempt hair,
I just look to the stranger,
Never did I know ,
That he is not so meager,
In brilliant thoughts , sparkling eyes,
Sky - high imagination,
‘Could you please take me along’-
Was his only expectation.
Going past the roads, the fields ,
The rivers n the sea swirls,
The paradise so glam n gaudy,
I leap up with a fervor.

‘Do U know your destination?’
The question thrown to me,
Startled n bridled,
Neither could I free,
From all those jumbled thoughts,
I took it very easy,
‘Never so, think for a while,
Before it gets to be messy’.
As if he could read my eyes,
Felt the strike of the thunder,
Looked perplexed, lost in thoughts,
Didn’t have any answer.

‘Set your goal, think through the path ,
It could be rough n tough,
Struggle n suffer, explore all,
Finally you would laugh,
Wage the war, surf the waves ,
Though bleak to make you bleed,
Live a life, do not give up,
Never ever sneak……’.

The voice echoes on n on,
Even the dawn cracks,
Awaken, amazed, buffet of thoughts,
Marched up in the stacks - ;
Of my memory, of my horizon,
The journey I embarked on,
Was mere a dream, thought to myself,
Still left the mark on,
Contemplative , his golden words
I can strongly correlate,
To reaching my goal , to strike the chord -
A need to ideate n innovate.

To My Beloved Mom.....

2009-05-10T13:47:00.000-07:00

Deep down my thoughts, I love to take a plunge,
Reminiscing every moment that always comes at large,
My growing days evolve around you,
My starry nights make me think of you,
You are the one – I will live for – My sweet mom.

Opening my eyes, I could see the world so nice,
In your cozy arm , I took the shelter to rise,
Above my sorrow, to break away all hindrance,
Going beyond the barriers with a splendid guidance,
You are the one – I will shine on – My sweet mom.

My meandering thoughts engulf your presence,
I try to hold on to you, to feel your exotic essence,
In my dreams, in my realm, you are there,
Your warmth, your spirit , I always like to bear,
You are the one – I love to breathe in - My sweet mom.

That you have shown me the right path to stick to,
Might be strewn with thorns, have tried to follow you hitherto,
In the days to come, going may get tough,
Abide by your rules, though the track may be pretty rough,
You are the one – I will keep to – My sweet mom.

‘M blessed with your love, enthusing me all through the time,
This is my bliss, my joys which I treasure to be mine,
Without you, I can not think of my existence,
My life glows golden with your tender radiance,
Thank you God! I would eternally pray on,
You are the one – I pine for – My sweet charming mom.

Introspection.....

2009-04-05T10:56:00.000-07:00

So less is the time to savour,

Striving to find an iota of space,

To heave a sigh of relief,

Wonder why the world is running,

With a jet-set pace !!!!

Moments are so precious,

So are the days gone by,

Rushing out there to the time unknown -

Yet our dreams are going high & high.

'Never say No' - the mantra of the day,

Imbibing within the core,

Relentless trials,

conjoined with a dozen betrayals,

Just to achieve more & more.

Dedication is our sword,

To catch the prey we do hunt,

A little time is spared,

Even if it is so weird!!!

Revelations make one happy ,

On everything he tries to grant.

Going by an urge,

To splurge beyond the bounds,

Paying no heed to the cry, --

Now the world is all alone,

Gloomy, shady & forlorn,

Have we ever thought - Why ??

An Honest Confession.......

2009-02-08T08:43:00.000-08:00

The darkness is gone, the day has dawned,
To begin everything anew,
Thrashing my sorrow, an ocean of sadness,
Do I have any clue?

Yes, I admit, that’s my passion,
For which I have longed for a long time,
The far reaching rainbow,
And the sunlit meadows,
When all, all would be mine.

Neither could I perceive, nor did I dare,
To dream such a dream,
The world is to bear, which is very rare,
To make me glide and gleam.

To cherish my dreams, to think beyond my edge,
‘M ready to listen to my heart,
To feel you in my soul, that grips me more & more,
Well, that’s how I would like to start.

Is it my true love? will it last long?
Or else, can it just be a liking?
Let it go as is, tried to convince myself,
Really, nowhere I am escaping.

At the onset of the twilight,
Overwhelmed, when I look at the mirror,
In fact, can not hide my feelings,
Gushing out like a river.

I can see you in the raindrops,
Smeared by rays of Sun,
The smiles on your face,
Glittering, in the long run.

You persist even in dew drops,
Glistening to my eyes,
You exist in all my thoughts,
Rolling on through my rhymes.

The gust of the whirlwind,
Felling the trees after trees,
Your voice makes me steady,
In the rustling of leaves.

I can reach out to you in my songs,
As in you are very near,
In the world of my dream, you reign supreme,
Even, in my silent prayer.

Awaken, I could feel so bright,
As you are there to heal,
All my pain, all my sorrow,
I can easily conceal.

Your very presence, your soft demeanor,
That makes me fascinated,
Being with you, for all through the moments,
Surely, my life would be made.

Looking to your eyes, smitten by your charm,
When I dance on cloud number nine,
My sense makes me rise, I will never think twice,
You are my LOVE , you are my ‘Valentine’.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you - 'Njoy & welcome the change, you feel, you experience :-)

Little Cuckoo - Will You Not Sing For Me ?

2009-01-25T03:21:00.000-08:00

Little did I know ‘bout the chirpy, little cuckoo,
Cooing out there along my way,
Ensconcing me in the realm of happiness,
Even when I have been far, far away.

Sweet charming memories of the bygones,
So soothing, so rejuvenating, as ever the same,
Usher in new hope, new days, new moments,
At the core of my heart, underneath all of my pain.

Flashing the moments, in the canvas I could see,
A big banyan tree, spreading its branches , like a canopy,
Amidst the bloom of flowers, amidst the shower of bliss,
My li’l cuckoo sings, It can never go amiss.

When I am doomed, when I am ruined, lost in the world
Wherein I could find no trace,
Of my existence, of my life, of my brace --
As a savior of your friend, who is writhing in pain,
Dear Cuckoo – when will U sing once again?

A silky, velvety voice, like a breeze I could inhale,
Worry not, Brave the fear, cheering me up to sail,
Turning to be the real, the world of my fantasy,
To rise above my sorrow, to break the silence, - yes my ecstasy.

Entwined my soul, deep down my heart,
Could feel my emotions gushing out through my tears,
Be it ignominy, be it my soul cascading all glee ,
Little Cuckoo, will you not sing for me?
