Love in Search

Hi ! I am love

In search of a heart

Where I can make my home

& like a flower bloom

But when I knocked

At the heartdoor of a rich man,

It was locked

By the lock of ego and money…

But when I knocked

At the heartdoor of a politician,

It was locked

By the lock of corruption…

But when I knocked

At the heartdoor of a common man,

It was locked

By the lock of sufferings…

I was sinking in a sea of disappointment

But then came a boat, with a young heart

Alas ! I got an appointment…..

It was like a little cozy hut under a huge tree

With a sign in front of it,

Which read that the entry was “free”.

Time

We worry about the future,

We weep for the past,

By ignoring the present,

We loose out on time which runs so fast…

Past gives us experience,

Future gives us hope,

Present holds them together.

And gives us a guiding rope…

Peace of Mind

Peace of mind is a treasure

Of greater worth than gold

More precious than any jewel,

And if this prize you hold

Then you are rich

Beyond all telling though sometimes,

Time may prove unkind

It cannot rob you,

The treasure of a quiet mind…

My princess charming

Out of the blues,
Into the green

Came princess charming

Into my dreams

Was it a fake?

Was it untrue?

Was it a dream?

It all seemed so true.

She seemed so kind

She seemed so good

Extremely good looking

Out of the blues…

I felt for her,

She felt for me,

We both loved each other

Heaven it seemed…

Then i was soon awakened from sleep

Tears in my eyes, bitter inside

Waving in pain

My princess goodbye…

Riding the waves

In the deep blue ocean, life's ship sails

Sometimes the ride is smooth,

Sometimes violent.

God is the captain

We humans are the cadets

God commands, cadets execute

The waves are the test

Sailing is the learning

Every trip is the journey of life itself

You never know when you might be struck by lightning

So keep your anchor ready

Be prepared for every journey

Your destination is waiting for you

And there are many destinations to visit……

Close to Death.

(WRITTEN AFTER I MISSED BEING HIT BY A TRAIN BY MERE 2 SEC....)

Saw the face of death today

Smiling at me from a distance

The distance of time......

Two seconds to say

Sounds so less, right?

That made the difference of a lifetime

My life was running slower than me

My shadow was lagging behind…

I leaped to cross the tracks -

The tracks of my life

Saw death riding on a train shouting aloud

Coming close to end the journey of my life …

Saved by the hands of god,

I saw death evade me again

Time and again death come hunting for me,

To make me its next victim…

But till god is smiling watching me,

Death cannot touch me anytime soon,

But i know nothing- I am not god

Death is not the friend of god also
