Epitome of oneness with self

The expanse of an open wing, the area that it encompasses

Is a stride toward a freer and an open future

When I see these birds, I long for that flight

Sometimes short and sometimes far in the cliffs

Where the distance does not size up to success or failure

But the experience and the joy is simply gratifying

I don’t know what they see from that distance both short and long

Low and high

I don’t care as long as everyone has a space to jaunt and revel in their own selves

The whiteness of sky or the bright hue around

Something in which the spirit can soak and feel refreshed 

As the tears roll down my cheek….

Time goes by, waits for none. Slips away in a flash…even before you realize.

It’s been a year today, but it seems not even like yesterday – rather the moment that just passed by.

I laugh, I meet, I play, crazy it is. I joke, I dance, I cheer.

A minute of tear filled eyes, uncontrollable emotions, helpless feeling  and the next second a smile on my face with a conversation to pull on

Memories don’t ever leave you, in fact they don’t really become memories even – they are very much your today.

Close my eyes, sit alone, drive on the road or just look at a couple of things and I know there is a sea of turmoil inside me.

Which I have to subside in a dash, get out and face the world

As I feel this, today – a year later – every day, every minute, every second. I know how pained my heart is, how wounded I feel, how the tip of my smile is smeared with the dampness of my tear, how the gleam in my eyes is due to running emotions.

As I pass each moment of my life, this shall remain.

Today and all my tomorrows….

Love you so so much, indebted forever….

(Broken like my thoughts, is my heart.)

All that matters…

That small little window
That one ray of hope…

That shabby tiny door
The welcome gate for all…

That mere piece of cloth
That makes for her a lovely dress…

That sole portion of bread
That also feeds the guests…

That broken odd cot
That goodnight secret of her…

That vivid smile on the soiled face…
That promises her a perfect day…

That brightness in her eyes
That brings in a million smiles…

The one thing that u desire
The one thing u can actually acquire
The one thing that really matters
The one thing that doesn’t cost much
Is just the way you choose to look at it…

Unknown destinations

How’s it like to be heading no where
Strolling clueless and reaching somewhere
A place you don’t know
You don’t quite want to know
Look up and look around
Surprised and not so at the same time
Pained and numbed alike
Really…?
This feeling of no belonging
No direction and no longing
Is not a pain truly
Isn’t all that terrible really
A body let loose
A mind not in use
Yet a feeling not that awful
I don’t mind it
Not at all
At least not as of now
Hope this isn’t insanity
Wish it isn’t a folly
But then again
Does it matter?
To think and deliberate
More when the mind is in vain
Of a thing…of anything
For what I experience I have no complaints
Its not too bad…it’s not too good, too
Can I say for good…I have become comfortably numb?

Distant dreams...

When a cup of coffee becomes a distant dream

A wish too extravagant to accomplish

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a walk down the lane becomes a distant dream

A desire too costly to achieve

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When getting a phone call becomes a distant dream

An effort too hard to finish

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a drink at a nearby pub becomes a distant dream

A trip too far flung to begin

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a cuddle in the night becomes a distant dream

A craving too tough to fulfill

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

When a shoulder to cry on becomes a distant dream

A requisite too impossible to achieve

Times have changed but am sure hearts are just the same

Well, am sure the times have changed but since the hearts remain the same

Those days will be back again

If not now, then may be in the coming tomorrows….

Fleeting glance…

Like the falling drops of rain

Rolling down my head

Like the moving grains of sand

Rushing down my hand

Like the lashing waves that never return

Washing away my footsteps

Like the breeze that travels along

Touching me and moving on

Like that stroking of the hair

Leaving the heart pounding for more

Like many such things

That just come and go

Time only seems to sprint away

So hold on to it

and don’t let the seconds go

From today....

For all the goodness that survives around

The unnoticed and the upraised

The unsung and the unseen

All that’s needed is a worthy thought

For the sunshine and the rain

The autumn leaves and the winter flakes

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the running waters and the settled sand

The still in the air and the moving troughs

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the lovely hues and the scented flowers

The buzzing bee and the chirping birds

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the tiny deeds and the modest words

The lightest pecks and the huge hugs

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

The smiling faces and the twinkling eyes

The umpteen plans and the late nights

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them form today

For the countless leisure walks by the road

The holding hands and the heart to hearts

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today

For the friends and the constant support

The cheers and the shared jokes

We so see everyday

I just want to feel them from today
