Cry but do not die

When the heart is heavy and the mind is numb with pain you just want to break down and not to happiness feign Remember it is okay to sometimes break down and cry When nothing seems to go right no matter how hard you try After the crying is done pull yourself up again
For without any pain you cannot expect gain Teach yourself to fall and rise up once again Learn from the Phoenix It burns & from its ashes rises once again Like the fabled bird you too can soar And when you do so Life will no longer be a chore!

u n me

You and me On the sands of time Someday somewhere In more pleasant clime Birds chirp and winds chime Sand is silvery and waves pristine Just you and me and music divine

silence

Sitting in silence My heart talks Tranquil I listen

tum

soz bhi tum saaz bhi tum dil me chhupe har raaz bhi tum kahe ankahe har alfaaz bhi tum mohabbat ke anoothe andaaz bhi tum

maikhana

Dil ke maikhaane me aaj mehfil saji hai Baithe hain tanhaii me Haath me liye pyaala e gam - Just B

GOLDEN LIGHT

The golden embers the solitary log askew the golden liquor sparkles in the golden hue

MYSTIQUE

The shimmering waves fall in a dark cascade enveloped thus he stares deeply into her shining eyes As the moon softly glows they dissolve in each other

PERCEPTION

Ugly face beautiful soul or a beauty with a dark soul Perceptions both, but opinions define If and when the two combine the persona becomes universally divine - Harsh Reality

LOVE

Love never ends it just remains forever as a dull ache surfacing in solitude

aur kya chahiye?

Do baahen jeene ke liye Ek kafan marne ke baad Ei Khuda aur kitna chahiye? Aur kya karun fariyaad?

life

When life drags you over hot coals & you feel the heat in your searing soles Don't run away just take a pause For nothing happens without a cause Just take a deep breath relax & all will be well How it gets resolved Only time will tell

Different strokes

There are some who just don't care who will trample on feelings & leave you bare Also there are some who walk in & light up your soul those who try & make you feel whole Move away from the first hold on to the second It will help in you in more ways than you have ever reckoned

Slumber

S leep well L et the mind rest U ntil dawn where the new M orn awaits B right and beautiful E ager to R eceive us with open arms

A Potter's clay

Dedicated to all mums -written when they were little To my kids who mean the world to me through their eyes the world I see through their ears the sounds I hear through their mouths the words I speak through their mind the thoughts I think To me they mean everything
From the gurgles and smiles and garbled sounds to the words perfect and so profound In my memory they still resound I smile with pleasure at the treasure I found. Like a potter who lovingly moulds his clay So I do with my babies play
The thoughts they think and the words they say Are but remnants of yesterday What will be on the morrow depends on what it is today The care and love need now be applied Like a potter I mould my clay

Play me as you want

No matter what the pain
I will accept what you ordain

I will graciously accept what you give
Its your choice whether I die or live

I am but an instrument in your hand
Your control over me I understand

I am but a lowly actor
You are the Master Director

I am just a character in Life's elaborate role play
You are the script writer,you know best my life will turn out which way

I will carry an umbrella on a bright sunny day since I have faith that it will rain
I am happy to endure every pain ,since in the end I'm sure to gain

Although Life is indeed a rocky terrain "This too shall pass " is the common refrain

May the Good Lord guide us and show us the way
Let all of us have a Wonderful Day!!

The Power of Now

I tried the Power of Now today
A piece of peace I found
In that moment my mind was calm & at rest
It gave joy to my heart profound

I realized life is but made up of moments Like pearls strung on a string
It is memories of the past and fears of the future that makes the present sting

If I could but just live out each moment and take whatever comes
I am sure I will be relaxed and happy no matter what the outcome

If I could but just focus on the now and give the best I can
I am sure life would pan out better and move as per His divine plan

It is when the mind is cluttered with thoughts unwanted and burdens of the past
That negative feelings silently creep in and seem to forever last

I have chosen to focus on just the Now & let bygones be bygones
Live out each day ,sleep well at night for tomorrow is a fresh new Dawn

Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery ,Today is a present
Treat it like the gift it is meant to be and Life will surely be pleasant.

Picking up the pieces

As I pick up the pieces of my life once again
I wonder what is my loss , what is my gain?

What should I do to my peace retain? What should I do to my confidence regain?

Then I decide to follow the path shown by him
To do everything as an offering to him

When I offer to him I will give off my best Whether it be words or deeds or Life's toughest test

It's interesting how the pieces seem to fall in place
As though time did , never, them,displace

Only time will tell whether I won or lost My faith, I will not lose at any cost

No matter how long, how treacherous the ride
No matter how much the onlookers deride

I will continue to act, play out my role
Till the Director says "Pack Up" and I am no more.

In despair He is the glimmer of hope
He teaches us how best to cope

In darkness He is the ray of light
He blesses with the gift of inner sight

In a dark cloud He is the silver lining
It is but right,for him, we must be pining In a dark long tunnel

He is the pot of gold
No matter how long your journey,at the end,you,He will hold

In agony He is the exquisite ecstasy
Seek him, Worry not if people call you crazy

I wonder

I look at the blue sky and wonder
Can I ever relax and enjoy the splendor?

Can I just walk barefoot with the wet green grass under?
Can I just enjoy a steaming cup of tea amidst the crackle of lightning and thunder?

Can I just to simple pleasures of life, myself surrender?
Can I just admire the blooming buds tender?

Can I just soothe my frayed nerves, and my normal duties render?
I look at the blue sky and wonder
I look at the blue sky and wonder

Rock Bottom

There is a good thing about rock bottom, The only way is up
When you know you can't fall further ,
You try and clamber up

All your courage you muster ,
You find the ledge on the rocky wall Hanging on for dear life,
You try and scale the wall

When life pushes you into a deep pit
Keep your wits about you
Take a deep breath,stay calm and all will be well with you

If He has given you a challenge,he has faith that it will be solved
For only the best are put to test,the others are absolved

Failures are the pillars of success ,that is what they say
Learn from your mistakes,fix them and you will have your day

Stay focused, don't take your eyes off the ball no matter what the odds
When you put in superhuman efforts,
you will succeed to the delight of gods

Stay focused!
