Music for every Soul

a soulful rendition
a plaintive melody
a melancholy
intense, light, heavy
romantic, blue
there are so many moods
that soothe you
heal you
make you groove
sensitizing every feeling
be it happiness, sadness
emptiness
passion or love
there is always a chord
that resonates within you
riveting, gripping
expressing
where words fail
reflecting
what you are going through

dance with the rhythm
let the music flow
there is music for you
there is music for me
there is music for every soul!

Giving Serendipity a chance...

why do we feel that strong urge

to control the handle of our life

wanting to set everything right

controlling all its moments

from the onset to the end?

when in true parlance, life,

sometimes, writes stories

that one cannot imagine, and

we are left wondering wild

what it will turn out to be

thinking too much, kills the fun

I feel we must just let it run

the way it is, the way it should be

for who knows chance serendipity

may exalt us giving us an experience

never felt before in our lifetime..!!

so what if we find it profound,

scary and run amok with insecurity

isn't this how we are supposed to feel

every feeling raking within us, our real?

the fears and anxiety are all set

within the confines of our mind

peace, bliss and happiness

are not really hard to find..!!

truth remains rooted firmly in its ground

that not all answers are meant to be found

and, if you really think, you know it all

you actually know none-at-all..!!

Leap of Faith

She was knocked down, she was hurt,
she paused, she withdrew into a shell
it seemed a point of no return for her
she thought she was giving in, finally
but the spirit of her soul kept beckoning
her to bounce back, for surrendering
to the obstacles in her life was not her
she had seen far too many n' survived all
yet, she had reached a point of deep stillness
within her n' it is in this phase of her life
that she found her spark being re-ignited
though she was rooted at ground zero,  
she had no option but to write a new script
to return to the realm that she lived-in
as she surmised her past, present n' future
she understood she had to "Let Go" n' "Move On"
she, further realized that there was something
greater beyond in life's offing's, and
she had to experience them all before she reached 
"THE END" page of her book that held within it 
her journey of life of Ah Wells..!! n' What If's..?!
she stopped trying to bridge the gulf between 
her emotions and the circumstances of her life
and firmly decided to take the LEAP OF FAITH 
it was risky with an uncertain outcome, but
she was prepared to accept whatever be the result
this coming to terms was victory enough for her
she believed the universe would now be with her 
and conspire n' guide her on her renewed journey
exhilarating her soul in mirth n' letting her know
that she was looked upon n' would be taken care of
its with her this firm belief in the LEAP OF FAITH 
that she decided to live her life to the fullest 
from now on with sheer zest, love n' happiness!!

Crossroads

Why is it that when we face a crossroad?

our mind comes to a standstill, and

the obscurity of the situation, further

makes taking a call seem like a task uphill!

It's true that some roads lead us to

success, happiness, peace n' bliss, but

it's also true that some roads lead us to

failure, defeat n' sadness strewn amiss!

One cannot remain standing forever

not wanting to surge ahead, out of fear

some road will have to be chosen n’ undertaken

so what if the journey at the onset appears murkier!

Like an enthralled sojourner, choose the road

where your heart n' mind guide you to, and

if you feel enroute that this isn't the one,

just take a U back for the next road n' continue!

In the realm of unknown, lie the answers

to all that you want to seek n' know

you have to learn to obey n’ listen to nature

as it teaches on the way, but first you've to go!

Tune in your mind n' raise up your eyes

to overcome the plight that's anguishing you

every crossroad has some learning for you to imbue

replenished with the beauty that surrounds you!

Happy Holi

Every year as the full moon

in March, cast in all its splendor

glances on the bountiful earth

it sees the evil "Holika" burnt

amongst the pious beliefs

of its true devotees

symbolizing the win

over the devil, and

restoring faith in all of us!

Holi ushers in the festive colors

each having its own meaning

that leave us all enthralled

in an atmosphere of cheer,

love, content n' oneness

as the riot of colors spreads

everywhere with pots full of 'bhang'

that downs all our fears n' worries

n' let's us celebrate in merriment, and

delight, rejoicing the splash of these

vibrant colors that color our drab lives!

May the colors of this special occasion

spread color in the lives of every soul

with happiness, joy, success n' bliss

and, binding us close like never before!

::: HAPPY HOLI :::

Longing to be young, once again..!!

It's strange how we transform ~

as we grow, nothing remains the same

as seasons pass by, we are sculpted

to become a more mature persona

isn't it amazing on how the meanings change,

from what we thought of them

when we were young ~

n' receptive to everything around us

why then do we become rigid

with the passing years

remaining no longer tenable

losing all our raw innocence, and

our ability to love unconditionally

to treat every new dawn as a wonder

that appealed to us boundlessly

beckoning us to bring out the best in us

spreading seeds of joy n' happiness

wherever we leave our footprints!

Can we not retain the same innocence

and, preserve our spirit n' soul akin

embalming them in love, innocence n' verve

setting free ourselves from all miseries

and, the meaningless race to keep pace

with an unwanted pretence masking the REAL us??

If by growing up, life turns out to be like this

I long to be young once again, forever...!!

I dont know ...

I dont know, why I feel this -
But, it often comes to my mind,
That life is a search for...
A treasure of some kind.

I dont know, if I am right -
In saying this to thee,
But be grateful to thy Alma Mater,
Wherever you may be.

I dont know, how should I express -
But, this is all I can say,
That LOVE is the element...
Which protects you in every way.

I dont know, why I feel this -
But, it often comes to my mind,
That happiness lies within you...
You only have to find.

What you mean to me...

Its difficult to imagine...
what Life would have been like
without you around to share,
to be with and to care about.

You make my world -
a brighter and happier place,
with laughter, love & tears
well entwined & interlaced.

Your presence in my life -
is something I deeply cherish,
and hold so close to my heart
for you seem to have
a mesmerising effect on me.

I look upon you as a blessing in disgiuse
bestowed on me from the heavenly abode
a harbringer of peace that I so much sought
an antidote to the cruel irony of fate
that destiny to me meted out.

I feel myself with you ...
The times we share are special to me,
And, I know I can always count on you.
On my own, I could never understand,
and enjoy the simple pleasures of life,
the way I do with you now,
and, I just want to tell you that -
Be there with me alwayz ...
For with you I live through
Life's each n' every moment
as you make them feel
so beautiful, colorful & precious.

Whenever I pause to give our relation a thought,
I am overwhelmed with the feeling that -
its one of the finest relationships in Life
that I have ever had, and, I would love to see -
the same sentiment reflecting in you.

P.S: Dedicated to my soulmate- Serah!!
