Ponder

my mind's thinking back
to the days that we've shared
in the solace of our friendship
promises given, feelings cared
sheer ecstacy of living made so palpable
like the flutterings of a butterfly
all in our one relation so pure & rare.

If If your heart would listen ...

If If your heart would listen -
you'd know my body is dead,
my mind has been taken over,
that's why I am so scared,
I can't control it, anger is making me blind,
I've been left here on my own chained to a hate of some kind.


If If your heart would listen -
you'd know about my fears,
about all those nights I screamed for help,
about all my fallen tears;
You'd know about the demons haunting me at night,
O! how I wish you'd be able to help me keep my fire alight.

If If your heart would listen ...

Today...

I wish you nothing but the best,
With all your worries been put to rest,
May you live your life with full zest,
And, remain forever the happiest.

With wishes galore, I say no more,
But, pray you remain the merriest soul !!

Zendagi Migzara ...

I often go through such moments in my life -

where I turn and look into the face of life 

I try to view an image of what I think is me

and all I see is a damsel - 

with hope as her shield for the dark nights

armed with determination so fierce 

to survive the turbulences in life

and courage to stand for the right

focussed to reach her destination in sight

with beliefs that reflect her sense of pride

And then sudden lava like eruptions that jolt time and space

awaken me to look beyond the reflections of my image

they make me wear out the masks I had worn to hide the real me

to hide my pain, to silence myself when I so much wanted to scream

If forgetting my past was as easy as smiling, I would never cry

I would have moved on with my life and not pondered

over the question marks hanging over my head, nor

would there would I’ve this thought "Why am I alive, I wish I was dead."

If overcoming griefs was as easy as breathing, I would never fear

every rising sun would bring a smile on my face and not a tear

stringing together the broken pieces of my heart, I would look ahead

with all the tears gone, my eyes would’ve no longer looked lost and dead

Be it happiness or sadness, a tear has always been there in my eye

b'coz I still remember the day when shattering time left me high and dry

When I saw for the very first time, a mirage of joy, I just cried

When my dad left me alone, tears rolled out and I then died

Zendagi Migzara a.k.a Life Goes On, is what I am told...

In every human life

there are moments high and low

emotions from every corner, continue to grow

don’t lose heart and go away

to destinations unknown and paths astray

for Life Goes on ...

Is the only L E S S O N all the way.

Lean On Me . . .

When life has it's trials
and ya eyes shed a tear,
When you feel that you are alone
and have none to care -
Lean on ME, I'll be there.

When darkness is deeper and brightness light,
When life seems nothing but a morbid sight,
When the skies are gray instead of blue,
And deep within ya heart, you are feeling rue -
Lean on ME, I'll help you through..

When things end even before they begin -
And failure seems more evident than the win
When you reflect on the time that's gone
And cant let bygones remain bygone,
Lean on ME, I'll pull you along..

When your eyes feel depraved of tears,
And you have grown immune to your fears,
When the world has turned its back on you,
And you want to start life anew -
Hold my hands, and we will sail through.

I cannot make your trials and troubles go away,
But I can be with you to wade across the rough waters through -
And maybe by tomorrow you won’t need my help anymore,
That would be the day when you have reached the shore.

And after all is said and done - The trials ceased - And –
You're THE WHOLE;
You'll know just what to do to help another SOUL.

I Never Knew …

I never knew that I could meet one person who would make me feel so good and so complete,
I never knew that one person could mean so much to me and that one person could affect me so much,
I never knew that respect, friendship and affection could feel like this, a feeling so great that it rushes from the heart,
I never knew that I could care about someone the way I care about you,
I know, though, that all of these feelings are possible because of you.

To make me think about you all of the time and the moments we share -
I know that I have found a special F.R.I.E.N.D,
Someone… who can hold my soul in her hands.
I know that this state of mind is like no other -
A feeling so powerful that you would do anything for that person.

Thank you for helping me realize that all of these are possible.
Thank you for stepping into my life and making me know that there is someone like you.

P.S: Dedicated to Radhika...my dearest friend :)

A special FRIEND

He took the time to look inside
this heart as cold as stone
He found that there was something there
that no one else has ever known
He took the time to make me realize
his friendship so pure n' true
He stood with me thru' my trying times
chasing away my grays n' blues.

I'm now going to take this time
To say "Thanks" for all that he's done,
I hope that he knows that I adore him
And that our journey of friendship is the most cherished one...

P.S: Dedicated to my truest friend Ganoo...thanks for everything dude!!
