THE MIRACLE WE CALL LIFE!

Life….
The paradox we have to deal with!
For a moment it loses its meaning,
When a meeting or a conversation
Ceases to be important.
Then suddenly the colours rush back
And tinge all the bleak corners of your heart
With the flush of new desires!
And you are left wondering….
Is it possible?
Life….
The strangest boon we are gifted with!

THE MIRACLE WE CALL LIFE!

Life….

The paradox we have to deal with!

For a moment it loses its meaning,

When a meeting or a conversation

Ceases to be important.

Then suddenly the colours rush back

And tinge all the bleak corners of your heart

With the flush of new desires!

And you are left wondering….

Is it possible?

Life….

The strangest boon we are gifted with!

EMBRACE LIFE...

You are never sure of the next step in your life,
But that does not stop you from stumbling.
You are never sure of which hand to grasp in life,
But that never stops you from groping.

Whether you have been right or could have been-
The question looms large; the answer is absent.
But don’t look for the hidden answer, when
The question itself has become irrelevant.

Efface the memories that trouble you.
Embrace the world as it comes to you.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT

The pen’s lip touched the page of my notebook-
I caressed the black keys of my computer-
A poem was supposed to be written,
Given birth to, made alive….
But alas!
Poetry failed me-
And life became prosaic.

A FAILURE

One fine morning I woke up to find
My dream had lost its wings!
Twisted and misshapen, it could not fly-
Yet I nurture it with all my strength,
Hoping, some day it might soar high-
Beyond the clouds,
To touch the rainbow…..

I WISH I COULD ESCAPE...

Sometimes I wish I could escape to a world,
Unknown and unexplored, with unfamiliar faces-
With neither smiles, nor frowns,
Nor any form of feeling and emotion-
Blank indifferent faces,
Who will neither greet, nor bid goodbye…
There I wish to discover myself,
And lost in anonymity, recover my faded dreams.
