wolf

He trusted you with all his heart

so much that he asked you

to see if his love was placed right

for he lived in a distant land.

 

You, called yourself his friend

little did he knew you are a wolf

in sheep’s attire, you twisted

his mind against his own love.

 

Using his own weaknesses against

him, made him believe a white swan

was a black raven and tried to win

his love, you did succeed for a while.

 

But then fate played its part he met

the white swan in the path of life

and recognized the wolf dressed as

a lovely innocent warm sheep.

 

He may not get his swan back again

but he is a human being not sheep

so your chances with him are over

go search for some one else to fool.

To keep love burning

It feels so nice to see a face light up

the moment the four eyes meet

to see a face break into a smile

whenever two paths meet.

 

Its not very hard to win love

harder part is to keep it

for we tend to forget so much

that love is the union of two souls.

 

Two souls unite forever in love

one heart gives the other takes

then it is the turn of the other

to give the love it received.

 

Same way they act in trust

faith and respect, they share

each and every feeling meeting

each other half way down the road.

 

When both hearts show equal longing

to love one another, to be together

to share every joy, pain and feeling

then only that dream takes its wing.

Fear of losing love

Once a tender soul was shattered

to tiny pieces by the one he loved

he made up his mind to never

laugh again or be happy in life.

 

He closed all windows of his heart

filled it up with pitch darkness

did not allowed a single breeze

of love, happiness and peace.

 

He created a hell for himself

determined to burn himself

fate had some other plans

and every thing changed.

 

There was a loving friend

who knew his torments on self

and tried her best to bring

him out of that selfmade hell.

 

He kept on ignoring her love

till one day he thought its lost

fear of losing her made him love her

and every thing changed to love.

Don’t lose your heart

Don’t lose your heart  

if the person you love

could not understand

your love’s worth.

 

All lovers are not blessed

with the blessing of union

try a little longer, stronger

if you can make him yearn.

 

If not, then let him go

remember the golden words

you can love anyone

but you cant make them love.

 

Never look down upon your love

nor look down upon your beloved

remember and have faith

God will bestow you to the deserved.

Virtue

A soul born with the strongest virtues

Virtue as strong as his life itself.

That immense strength made him humble

so silent was he about virtues

naives often thought he had none

they often tried to lure him

to make him wander away from his path

every time they had to retreat..defeated.

 

The deeper the faith goes down in a heart

the more silent the lips become.

When a soul knows he is right

he also knows he will follow right.

His faith in truth becomes so profound

when debates arise he rarely makes a sound.

Never mistake his silence with weakness.

Lion never roars when he kills in forests.

Steel grip

Steel grip of cold hands

gripping your heart

aiming for your soul

teaching you to hate.

 

Making you forget God’s words

sometimes blinding your vision

to turn you into its slave

choking your thinking, thoughts.

 

In its eternal lair of hell

fire of mistrust and hatred

burns darkly through hours

which twists and corrupts minds.

 

Turning humans against each other

like blind soldiers they fight each other

till they drop lifeless to earth destroyed

the dark monster watches from distance.

sorcerer

An evil sorcerer had a pretty daughter

and a rogue son without a soul to go

her son befriended an innocent  prince

who was in love with a distant friend.

 

A friend he has never met face to face

but had fallen for her deeply

he sought the help of his friend to help

him in winning the hand of his lady love.

 

The rogue said yes, he will help him,

he will go there himself and bring her.

He covered the dagger in velvet sheath

said noble words hiding the greed.

 

He asked him for some symbol so

he could introduce himself as his friend

and took his ring and went to the girl

and told her that he is the prince.

 

He harassed the girl so badly faking as

the prince that the girl started to hate

his very name. Finishing his job there

he went back to prince with fake dismay

 

Told him that she loves him but is an

old woman married to some one else.

Then he offered her his sister’s hand

like a gallant knight, the prince denied.

 

The sorcerer casted her spell on the

doomed lovers, slowly their love ebbed

on one hand she pretended as the prince

to the hapless girl and did the same to him.

 

They both started to believe that the other

one is vile, their love was misplaced

the prince fell for sorcerer’s daughter and

his love started to hate his very name.

Your choice

In this world of vibrant colours and symphony

don’t think that you can avoid evil and sin

bitterness will reach your tongue alongside honey 

you will get sour grapes in this grapevine.

 

Pick up the sweetest fruits to offer to your mother

gather the most beautiful flowers to adorn her

make your body, heart and soul her loving home

that will be your bit to serve your creator.

 

Once you change yourself to love, beauty, truth, harmony

these beauties will radiate from you as softest symphony

not a single soul near you will be deprived from this bliss

the world will turn into a heaven for you, an adorable journey. 

 

Being in love with god, her creations and her children

will give you the spirit to move ahead in life’s journey

strength to help weaks to cover the path along with you

sweetness to relish the stay in this beautiful heaven.

When you loved me

When you loved me with all your heart

I was too confused from where’ll I start

You mistook my shyness for disinterest

Walked away from me before I could protest.

 

Then miles came between us

Now that we have met again

I just want you to know

I was yours then and now.

 

Please don’t walk away again

Stay with me till our live end

I want to walk with you the walk

I want you beside me till the end.

 

I wont let you walk away this time

Without letting you know

What is in my mind and soul

There may never be another time.

thief

How many times will you get caught

before you know that lie walks

without a feet? It can walk a while

but once it stumbles it falls flat.

 

You cheated your friend

stole someone else’s love

then your mate found out

what you are and left you.

 

Its no use haunting those who

had nothing to do with you

nor will ever have to do

you should rinse your soul.

 

You have ruined your yesterdays

by masquerading as an angel

now just admit your dark side

repent.. that’s the only way.

Leave them alone

leave her alone guilty soul

you wont get anything by

stalking her to the end of

the universe, but heartbreak.

 

You lost your man because

You did not loved him

You only wanted the luxury

The material things not love.

 

When you got him in your palms

you thought now you can go astray

he is so blind that he will not know

but love has feelings, he did.

 

He left you for a loyal soul

who lacked your glamour

but had a heart of gold

now leave them alone..go!

Tree of friendship

so you think I am your destination

I am the one you have always searched for

The ultimate friend, the ultimate comrade

My friend I honour your intention.

 

But the tree of love and friendship

Takes its time to grow and spread

Have you ever noted my friend

Tallest tree take the most time to grow?

 

They gently take all seasons in their stride

The summer, the winter, the sun, the storm?

They don’t take these pains in vain my friend

These extremes strengthen their root and branch.

 

Every summer scorch they face deepens their roots

Every storm they survive makes their trunk harder

Every winter chill and monsoon lash leaves branches

New and fresh, full of new feelings and flowers.

 

This beauty cant come in a day or two

They will need years of seasoning

So just wait and let the tree grow

With its own rhyme and reasoning.

shy love

How could I be so blind to not see

beyond those frightened eyes

shy smile, lingering too long around me?

Never losing a chance to be with me!

 

How could I be so deaf to not note

the silence which fell on your lips

the moment I started to talk as if

you wanted to hear each word.

 

How could I be so absent minded

To not note that soft, shy smile

which lighted up your entire being

the moment you felt I am around!

 

How could have I been so feelingless

to not feel how you woke up

with your complete being whenver

I was lingering anywhere near?

 

Now that you are gone away

I miss you every second

when you were around me

I failed to understand your shy love.

The heavens laughed

Once there was an innocent lass

full of beauty, love and grace

for some reasons known only to heaven

the cruel eyes of a vile soul she won.

 

He started to spend hours after hour

gloating  her innocent charm in stealth

the lass dwelled in her own innocent

dream world full of fairies and flowers

 

one dark day his dark claws

shot forward and plucked her

from that land of sunshine

to his land of dark, ugly lust.

 

There he took away her light, air and beauty

dressed her up in dark, ugly colours of lust

proudly boasted that none other will love you

ever again, now that i am done with you.

 

Be mine or perish, the girl laughed on him

her laughter ringed in every corner of his

dark castle, the heavens laughed back on this,

it opened, and his dark, cold castle became warm.

 

A chariot of light came down with the sun

it took away the object of his lust from his claws

took her far away from his greedy, lusty  sight

to the land where she belonged, the land of sun.

Little butterfly

A lonely butterfly lost its way

it was wandering in the desert

with no sight of flowers

no view of shrubs or trees.

 

It met a high mountain

blocking the vision

part of its heart said

quit fighting give up.

 

Something inside it said

lets try and see what comes

it flew high, high and higher

and it reached the other side.

 

Its tiny wings danced with joy

when it was welcomed by a

valley full of flowers and

thousands of tiny, little butterflies.

The challenge

Once there was a simple soul,

 living in his own pure world

Living a life which taught

the ways of God and virtue

Loving every soul which came

his way, not hating even

those who did him wrong,

leaving the  justice on the divine.

 

A strange twist of fate brought

him face to face with devil

Who asked for his soul

and promised heaven in return.

He told him in cold pride

that heaven can be won

only by following the path

of  truth and shunning evil.

 

The devil looked at him

with eyes full of fury and scorn

and said I offered you a deal

of life time, and you refused

I will leave no stones

unturned to make you mourn

for this offer, you will beg

on your knees for the same, broken.

 

For years he was tormented by devil,

his followers and tempters,

They tried to extinguish

every candle that he lighted

They used every trick to scare him,

to lure him, to fool him

to the path of their master,

but all their tricks failed.

 

The man noted with humble delight

every time he took

the wrong path an invisible hand

beckoned him back,

whenever the night was too dark

he saw a shining star

whenever the dark clouds gathered

he found a loving shelter.

 

Then one day in the golden twillight

 of his last glory days

He hugged his children and told them

when you are surrounded

by evil count your blessings,

stay in the path of God, don’t go stray,

because when the end will come, 

as per your deeds will you pay.

take your time

when you want to know a person’s compassion

show him your scars, start with the smallest

ones and go to the deeper ones, see if he flinches

see if he ignores, smiles or gets irked..

you will get your answer, your insight, your vision

in his soul and heart, you wont need further test.

 

You want to see if he will walk with you for

the longest time? Through the ups and downs?

Pause for a while when you are walking

note if he feels that you are no longer there,

stops and searches for you, calls out your name

or doesnot even notices, fumes, or just walks ahead.

 

Small signs tell us the story but don’t hurry

take your time and test for long enough

let your heart do the judging not your mind

a thing done once is not always a nature

if we pull out a pot too quickly from the fire

it will crumble to pieces even though it had the matter.

 

Love, friendship, relations take their due time to season

so before clinging to one or throwing one away

take all the measures, take all the cautions

because a heart once pushed away is hard to be held back

a hand once disengaged is too tough to be pulled back

take your time to love and take your time to walk away.

you cant be God

So you think that you are God

you can do justice and punish

anyone and everyone you think

is bad, corrupted and stinks..

 

Anyone you think that he has

wronged you, abused you, used

you.. you have the right to

settle your scores your dues.

 

Move ahead my friend satisfy

your vengeful heart and soul

but tell me my friend if morrow

morning tells you were wrong?

 

You ruined an innocent life.

Someone tricked you or your

judgment tricked you to think

that the person is vile?

 

And you ruined him beyond repair.

Will you be able to turn back clock?

Will your tears of repentance work?

No my friend the god’s mill will grind.

Rational fear

Why will I not be scared when I see

the tentacles of evil reaching for me?

When I see that black fire burning

in the eyes of another human being?

I feel the chill of that dark fire numbing me

trying to soak the light of God from me.

 

I am not saying that I hate him or her

I don’t know what is in his or her soul

but I know something there which is

taking me away from my path to God

I am not God or one of his angels

I am a human being who can fall.

 

Will it be too wrong for me if I keep away

from the sins, temptations and its carriers?

Or from the powers which I cant understand?

Will it be alright  if I love some people from distance?

From a distance so that they don’t influence me?

Will it be okay if I know I am frail and save myself?

reality

Why do people get scared of reality

when they see it face to face?

looking back coldly at those eyes

full of curiosity and innocence?

 

These naïve souls who try to play

with fire, thinking that it’s the small

earthen lamp burning, lighting up home,

get frightened when they see its power.

 

They think that life is evenly distributed

with the same harmony and rhyme

they try to tally their life with all live

when they are proved wrong they detest.

 

Reality is just like fire, some places it burns

Low, lights up, warms up and glows

In some places it burns out of bound and

Scorches every soul which comes around.

The bridge

I was wandering alone

In the solitary woods

On the top of the mountain

In a land of dreams.

 

A silver river was spread

Down below in the valley

Its silver body was shining

In a soothing, mystical glow.

 

A soft veil of mist

Covered the mountain and vale

Showing and not showing it all

Playing hide and seek with me.

 

The fairies of moon

Laid down a bridge for me

From the moon, across the clouds

It touched the mountain top.

 

I took a long stroll

In that bridge of dreams

The silver moon above me

The silver river below me.

Fairies and the mermaids

Yes I love both the fantasy and truth

a feeling that can be cherished

only by those whose soul can dream

while their minds stay fully awake.

 

I love to dream of a land of dreams

where fairies can fly defeating gravity

where unicorns gallop gracefully

where mermaids come up to see sailors.

 

And I love the angel within you and me

the angel which is celestial yet not

who is made of flesh and blood

yet whose soul has reached the heavens.

 

He lives in this very earth with us

but his soul filled with love is far above us

and I love you and me too who are not angels

who are trying to be one, or are just human.

The castle

White dazzling man made dream

peacefully dwelling in nature’s arms

hills kissing its elegant feets

blue sky kissing its gallant forehead.

 

Distant horizons are guarded well

with sky touching hills as sentinels.

hills filled up with cherry trees

toppling all over with snowy blooms.

 

Snowy cherry blossoms toppling all over

the green velvetty grass around the trees.

It seems as if the painter has painted

a beautiful heaven with white, blue, green.

 

A hilly river winding her way around the hill

around the castle and the green tall trees

singing in a sweet voice, language unknown

dancing through the hills to places unknown.

Cherry blossoms

A fairy has touched the trees

with a magic wand of love

each and every leaf of them

has transformed in flowers..

 

It seems as if they always

bore flowers in place of leaves

the whole tree is glorified

with dazzling white blooms.

 

Birds and butterflies flittering

from one tree to another

feeling nature has created heaven

to nurture their tiny souls.

 

The grass below is scattered

with flowers like snowflakes

every thing looks like a dream

spring has come to visit cherry tree.

Love is every thing

Search every heart and soul around you

spare some immersed elsewhere

all you will see, all we need is love

unselfish, never judging love.

 

A love which is as free as a brook

As calm as deep lake, ignoring all turmoils

As forgiving as mother’s kiss and hug

As abundant as sun, wind and rain.

 

Any soul who has walked alone

without the shade of love will vow.

This is the power which moves the world,

This is the power that keeps the world.

 

To have love, have love in your heart

Fill it up with love and shower all of it.

Without holding it back for a second

soon you will see it returned to you.

 

Never think that everyone you love

will love you back as you are loving.

Don’t hurt yourself thinking for a second

that purest loves are always returned.

 

Rise above and think everyone who loves

is blessing you and cherish that hand.

Soon you will see your life is full of love

in place of regret for lost love

Poisonous friendship

King’s daughter had a lovely companion

a dazzling beauty beyond comparison

the princess had a charming soul

hidden inside a ordinary frame, a jewel.

 

The gorgeous moon and humble diya

showered the king’s palace with light.

They were as if answers to one another

one was body the other one the soul.

 

Chand was the doe eye, diya vision.

Chand the dance of fairy, diya song.

Everyone in palace and surrounding

blessed this marvellous union endlessly.

 

One day a neighbouring prince came

to visit the king, as they were strolling

in the garden the prince heard the most

enchanting melody, simmering in moonshine.

 

The king answered his query about the singer.

The prince became mesmerized and lingered

there for long, hoping for a glimpse of the singer

but shy diya never became visible to him.

 

She thought the prince was too handsome for her,

Chand also saw him and got smitten by him.

She tiptoed to his rooms while he was resting.

He got mesmerized by her dazzling beauty.

 

When he asked her who she was she lied

she told him she was the princess and the singer

she left him after completely stealing his heart

the poor lover passed a sleepless night tossing in bed.

 

The next morning he asked the king for his daughter.

The king happily agreed to wed her away to him.

The marriage happened very fast, Chand was sad,

but could not dare to open her mouth, scared for life.

 

The bride was in veil as was the custom in kingdom

the  veil to be removed from her face after reaching home

till then not even her prince could see her face

he was allowed to see her only after entering his home.

 

Chand was ofcourse her only companion to her new home

In the way she poisoned her trusting friend and took her place

because she knew no one will recognize her here

no one will come from diya’s kingdom, hundreds of miles away.

 

She already had the prince’s heart and his blind faith!!

Salvation

So you want salvation..

start from within

connect your soul to God

your body will follow it.

 

you cant tame a wild beast

by starving it, caging it

you will have to win it

and love is the best way.

 

Teach your soul to love God

teach it complete surrender

you wont have to starve yourself

you will win yourself by yourself.

 

Your soul will stop hungering

for vain things like wealth, comfort

it will seek joy in God

and therein will it find true joy.

 

Salvation comes inside out

Strengthen your bond with your soul

Cherish your bond with God

Or else it will crumble to dust.

Happy New Year!

voice of love

voice of love, tis the softest one..

it rarely speaks through lips.

The whole being takes the place

of feeble tongue to glow with love.

 

The body, the soul, and actions

all get transformed by its touch.

It speaks, all listen spellbound

and then spread out pure love.

 

Those who cant see… feel it

those who cant hear… touch it

those who cant think… embrace it

it knows no barrier which will stop it.

 

Its rarely observed by mortal senses

yet it can transform the whole world.

It is invisible and invincible

angels bow their head, such is its power.

 

it can create an oasis in bleak desert

run a stream of love in a loveless heart.

It can softly scoop up a shattered heart,

and  make a wingless soul soar sky.
