Fragmented

fragmented mind filled with

fragmented thoughts

fragmented feelings in a 

fragmented heart

fragmented darkness streaked with

fragmented white

O! what do I make of this

fragmented life..?!

Rain

the pleasant smell of earth, and 

the blissful calmness around

the indulgence in wanting to cuddle up, and

the peace coursing through the frayed nerves

the wild breeze with its swishing sound, and

the rainbow in its colorful splendor

unparalleled is the happiness, ushered in

by this marvel of Mother Nature!

every cloud burst soothes my pain

rejuvenated, I feel whole again

so, palpable is the feeling of rain

I love the feeling of the rain, and

I would love to feel it

over and over, again and again..!!

Life gets through..!!

rebel

thinker

realistic

passionate

emotional soul

this in a nutshell

encapsulated her whole..!!

she loved to tread the unknowns

always making it on her own

when things didn't go as expected

she paused, reflected and devised

new stratagems to set it right

when her resolves

to face life slackened

she knelt down to pray and commune

softly whispering over n' over

O! Universe, I bow to THEE

your aura is overwhelming me

I've done my part, now, it's unto you

I believe in you, and know it is true

that when you conspire

life gets through..!!

LIVE

It's all weird

the silence

the tears

the smile

the words

the heart

Life...

but

it is also true

that this is

how it is

and

there are no

two ways to it

either

hate it

sulk, and

perish

or

like it

enjoy, and

LIVE..!!

Antidote

she lay trapped between the sands of time

warped in a shell that was marooned and still

having recently understood the fragility of life

a finding that left her deprived of her will

emotionally detached, she dwelled deep within

to know how it felt beneath her skin

she discovered the tangled remains of her heart

along with a battered body that was ripped apart

having realized that she had given it all

with nothing more left that she could give

stripped off all her energy, she stood bereft

seeking herself a reason to live

metamorphosed by all that was delivered to her

battling the chaos inside and out

in search of calm, she took a new stance

and decided to give her life a second chance

eager to rise from the shadows of the dark
onward she marched on the journey she had embarked
floating across celestial time and space
trying to figure out she belonged to which place

she immersed in deep seas of emotions
reaching depths untouched before
searching hard all the while
for an antidote for her parched soul

Slow down, Amma...

I know Amma, I know that you are stressed

give me sometime to clear all the mess

I know Amma, you've toiled a long while now

leave it to me, to now pull the plow!

Slow down, Amma, you need to rest

Do you even remember when last you lived in zest?

Slow down, Amma, life has been a bitch

we can't help for that's what the premise of life is!

Hear me, Amma, you need sometime for yourself

enough of all the sacrifices, strain n' duress

Hear me, Amma, I want you to live your life

live every moment by your code and enjoy the ride!

In the quest of surviving in the realm, we are in

I focussed on the outset to bring the monies in

little did I realize that time would not wait, and

I've lost most of them now, it's a little too late!

Off whatever is left, I want to give them all to you

let's let our hair loose and get into the groove!

Spend some time with me, Amma

we have so much to talk 

everything else can wait
but this cannot

let's banter, let's chat, or,

in your garden, let's just squat

sing, dance, walk, shop n' hop

let the merriment go on non-stop

the memories that we create, today,

we will cherish forever

along with the umbilical love

that has connected us together!

I wanna get lost...

I wanna get lost from my life 

for sometime...

just sit on the side, and 

watch the world go by...

I need some breathing space

it's been too hard on me, off late

I wanna collect myself, and

relook at my fate

it can't go on like this

I have to set things straight..!!

I wanna see life from an observer's eye

for so many questions in my life 

have been unanswered, and

I don't understand why..?!

the mystics of the realm 

that I live-in

leave me spell bound 

and shocked akin

it has been quite sometime

since my head's been on a spin

I want them all to stop now

for I am feeling weighed-in..!!

I don't see how else can I

regain the control on my steer

if I don't understand

what led me here...

the only way out 

is for me to get lost

so, I wanna get lost,

I, just, wanna get lost...
