FREE Spirit… that’s ME..!!

Enroute the journey of life...
She has been thru' path's that have ~
yanked her away from her fetish for freedom,
her zest for carefree life, her innocence,
binding her to forbidden rules relatively unknown,
wadin' her thru' stumbling blocks that ripped her apart,
enclosing her on, in boundless dreaded fear n' despair,
makin' her stay awake thru' dark nights cryin' silent tears,
havin' been thrown in perpetually void black holes,
that crushed n' shattered her while consuming her whole!!

But,

the deed was done only on her physical existence

for they were not aware of her real presence,

they thought they were seein' her fragmented, when

'twas she who was showin' em what she wanted em to see,

sheer mind games 'twas, till she was ready to bounce back,

n' face head on, the new barricaded set of attacks,

with renewed vigor n' strength within, to hold on,

all the while, waitin' for the time to be just right,

to unveil the real HER - her soul n' spirit with pride!!

She is an untouched FREE spirit n' soul ~

who has risen from her own ash-fill...

like a phoenix to soar new dimensional heights,

over every sea, ocean, mountain, chasm n' tide,

where over every predicament, it is HOPE that abides!!

Her pristine soul is radiant with true love ~

flowin' in abundance, replenishin' each time,

as need be, to sow seeds of peace, bliss n' harmony,

her spirit runs carefree thru' the prying winds, rain,

sunshine, sunset, twilight n' the starry moon lit sky,

who caress her, enliven her n' enthrall her FREE spirit,

liberating the shielded child-woman who yearned all along

to live in a world where innocence is conserved n' Life calls

...for this is the only world where she truly belongs!!

I know all of this of her is true

for that SHE is ME ~

I am the FREE spirit n' soul

who set the I, ME n' MYSELF within me FREE

to be ONE with the universe n' face my fate n' destiny

as such, that from now on I'll live every moment carefree...

::: HAPPY DIWALI :::

Numbness

in the depth of besieged unusual silence

all she was aware was of her "existence"

that she was alive, that she was breathin'

when everythin' around her was collapsin'

all she saw was an endless tunnel ahead

with perpetual blackness widespread

undesired, was such a soulless journey

that made her life rampant with drudgery

her mind over time had turned out to be stoic

akin to her once carefree life that was now rustic

her lovin' heart had become unyieldingly cold

for her endurance had reached its set threshold

she seemed to be overpowered n' engulfed

with a strange profound feelin' of numbness

such sinewy, gritty n' scary was it's grasp

that she let it crush n' shatter her from inside

will she thwart this peril that's breakin' her apart?

will she let her emotions gain ingress into her heart?

will this eerie numbness destroy her pristine soul?

will she bounce back once more to be her spirited whole?

Moonlight n' ME

Under the vast expanse of the sky ~

stands the MOON, lit in its full ensemble

with the sparkling stars n' sparse dark clouds

dispersed across the endless celestial sphere

reverberating in their glowing luminance

hallmarking a lasting signature mark of its own

soothing the daily drudgery of my cognizance

while I pour my mind, heart n' soul out, akin

and, we have an heartening exchange of thoughts

in an unusual muted, inarticulate conversation

that even in the depth of silence, steers me clear

of all my consternation, qualms n' anxiety

as it lays its calm balm on my wounds, healing me

guiding me above the spiritless day-to-day life

giving me a new high, a sense of freedom above all

into a world of my dreams, hopes n' reverie.

I am enchanted by the moonlight in pure exalt,

in the profound bliss of the elixir that it emanates

which spreads unconditional harmony, love n' bliss

our relation is an un-paralleled lifelong unison

a sinewy bond of feeling ONE, of feeling whole ~

in MIND, SPIRIT n' SOUL..!!

Betrayed trust

Standing tall and strong like a pillar of strength ~

ever since the death of our revered one

the irreparable loss that balked all our lives

I grew up overnight killing the young ME inside!

To handle the responsibility of everything therein

I toiled through endless days and nights akin

to meet the ends, so that we could live in dignity

the ride was never smooth, it was bleak and bouncy!

I faced adversities, challenges n' crisis on my own

the feelings I felt, I buried them in the unknowns

not minding even once the exaction or the dents

the sacrifices, the wounds and the heart's descent!

I slogged through years to see you smile, to fulfill

all that you wanted for to me they were worth while

it kills me within and I find it hard to believe ~

that for all my love, it was deceit that you chose to give!

I wanted you to live your life on a path that was true

a road travelled by only the blessed and chosen few

but you consciously chose to drift, go awry n' astray

you betrayed my trust, what more can I say..??!!

Not that I expected benediction or gratitude in return

I only hoped you hadn't let me down the way you'd done

the signs were showing for long but I chose not to believe

O! how I wish I had believed! I had believed! I had believed!

I let go off you, now, you be what you want to be ~

learn life the hard way for you do not deserve me

I hope you realize your sinful deeds and soon see the LIGHT

take the u-turn for good before your soul feels emptied inside!

Unchained Thoughts

I, no longer want to be enslaved

in any grief of my wounded mind,

I want to seek my life, once again ~

one that's free from all fiend!

I don't want my life to be a parody

akin the soulless that you see everywhere,

I want my free spirit to leave footprints

that will outlast me when I'm not there!

A world free of hurt n' cacophony ~

is where I want to set my ground,

hearts over flowin' with sublime love

n' floatin' mirth is what I want around!

In the depth of emotional wreckage

I let loose all of my mind's despair,

unchaining my thoughts, I set them free

to find their freedom again, in reverie!

Hope

anarchic is the world ~

in which we live-in today

where money has become the master

n' we've become its bonded slaves

where hurts of our past

have made their homes in our heart

where fears of uncertain tepid future

has left, us frenzied gropin' in the dark!

though the journey seems intriguin'

do not succumb to the testin' times

in the end, all will be right

just keep looking for the light

it's the rule of the universe

that after every dusk comes the dawn

the darkest hours in our lives

can only last until the morn'!

when you feel, you're done n' dusted with life

hold onto HOPE to guide you thru' such strife

when the paths seems steep n' hard to climb

HOPE is the balm that will soothe your mind

when trials seem unrelentin' n' shatter your soul

HOPE is the sparkle that will make you feel whole

when tears stream silently down your eyes

in such faces of travesty is where HOPE abides!
