For The One In My Life

Been happy, been sad and boy have I grown
Taking every step all alone
Lost my mind and felt left behind
Never did I believe that I would be found again


You in my life is something new
I wonder if all that I feel is really true
Shady and crazy that I may sound
But will be glad to have every emotion with you around


Marriage and vows are to me, just words
All I believe is in you, me and us
While I miss you here, I see coming years
With a Life that is filled with dreams and hopes

If

By Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:


If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!""

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

Man in the Mirror

By Anonymous poet

When you get all you want and you struggle for self,
and the world makes you king for a day,
then go to the mirror and look at yourself
and see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your mother, your father or wife
whose judgment upon you must pass,
but the man, whose verdict counts most in your life
is the one staring back from the glass.

He's the fellow to please,
never mind all the rest.
For he's with you right to the end,
and you've passed your most difficult test
if the man in the glass is your friend.

You can fool the whole world,
down the highway of years,
and take pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
if you've cheated the man in the glass.

A Place of Wonder

To those who read my pieces and wonder how such a mind unfolds,
Its pretty simple when you’re human and Have came across so many damaged roads.
I travel in my mind whenever I find no peace from the world outside,
For when I close my eyes, I enter a world that remains from our kind in hide.
If I were to take you there, I wonder if you could bear its truth.
It would be hard to explain what in this place lies, whether it’d be fit for you.
There the trees are not grown of wood nor are they dressed in leafs,
And the ponds neither swim with fins and scales nor are they decorated with reefs.


Here words come to life, and all things of joy are alive,
Tears don’t fall from eyes but come to dance and sing of life.
Many times I have tried to reach out and pull you in with me,
But many times I found myself to fail yet don’t give up on me.

One of these days it will come, when one of you will see what lies far from the reach of others’ have you ever heard the drums of wings, flapping as over the world one beautifully hovers. For now I rest alone in this world with no one to share it with but my pen, though I feel guilty for being lucky to have this place of salvation in this life of sin.

O’ do you wish to see what lies in my mind that only I with my pen have held the privilege to know, Come and reread some of what I had told my pen and maybe, just maybe this place would show. Though I warn that not all of it is for the euphoric pleasure of the ears and eyes, indeed it is a place where laughter exists though with laughter one must expect cries.

A Friend Like You

To Bindu

When nothing made sense

You were there to boost up my confidence

Without the things being told

You were the one who consoled

Everyone needs a friend like you

Who’s dependable and so true

Through the moments endured

I am so happy that you are there for sure.


Dear Daddy

Everything that happens and
Everything that befalls on us has a meaning
Has a lesson to learn, has a mistake to mend
I know it’s difficult to go through such times of confusion
Times of depression, times of dismay.

With time all things pass
You have endured thousand storms and
This is one of its kind that you can weather with courage
Expect trouble as inevitable part of life
Stay your course and be true, thats what you taught us
Today I repeat these words of comfort to you
And everything shall pass too.

I would fight the fate, I would fight the destiny
For I want you to be the best of you,
You are the one whom we look unto
In all our travails of life, in all our delights of life.

In the book of life every page has two sides: We human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes, and wishes, But Providence writes on the other side, And what it ordains is seldom our goal.

What's within me?

Dodging with the deadly reality
Truth that no longer I want to see.
Swinging between right and wrong
Why can’t I just forget and get along.
Not understanding what’s within me
I only see what I want to see
Away from this world, away from the risks
Trying to ignore the rest

How will I survive the real world?
For I have locked myself in and thrown away the key
Thinking about life, what it had been, and is going to be
Housing these unnamed feelings within me
Abiding by their rules I walk on my way watching myself wilting

I wish I could feel the sun that clears the mystic clouds of tomorrow
I wish my life were filled with fun and joy as before
I wish I can be the old me, I wish I can be just me
With the vigor that shines bright on me
With the days that make me feel the world is mine

Mother

You were there as a teacher to correct me
But I detested you for pointing out my mistakes
You were there as a guide to warn me
But I hated you for showing me the right way
You were there as a friend to advise me
But I ignored you for telling me what I need to know
You were there as a mother to protect me
But I despised you for being possesive about me

Though it took time to understand your love
am happy finally that you forgave us.
I know theres nothing in this world
as great as your forgiveness, as pure as your love for us.
I owe my life to all the pain and perseverance
you have taken to see us as ur reflections.

I hope you will be there with me in most
of the best and happiest moments in my life
Cos I see my success through your eyes.
I hope you will be there with me for the rest of my life
Cos I seek my happiness from you.

I love you "Ma".

I am not

I am not in a hurry to see you
      I know U wud come to me oneday
I am not sorry that 'I miss U'
      I know U wud be with me everyday
I am not in a worry that I might lose you
      I know U wud never leave me anyday
I am not afraid that U might overlook me
      I know U wud not make me a stray
I am not in a hunch that is this wait worth
      I know U wud make me fortunate without any dismay

The Pain of a Lost Friendship . . .

The pain of a lost friendship eats at your soul, nags at your heart
You try to black everything out but it tears you apart
You try to shove it in the back of your mind, never to be revealed
But everything reminds you of your best friend that suddenly disappeared
It hurts to think of the times the two of you had shared
Like days when all you seemed to do was care
Tears are your constant companions that you try to fight on the outside
But the constant pain of missing them is always on the inside
Don't ever let true friendship go
Let it flourish, let it grow
Then maybe you'll never have to feel
The things that I have written here . . .

I felt each and every word in this poem very true. There could be many reasons for loosing a friend. And if its a true friendship
every one who lost their friend would feel the pain. Have you ever tried to reach her/ him and apolize for whatever has happened, albiet the mistake is not on our side? If so have you got ur friendship back? Come on... then you gotta cheer up for being such a lucky person.

Little Things...

Life is not always about the people we live with. It has got some more stuff like books, movies, music, memories etc. We tend to be in some one's company, listening to their gibbers. Not many enjoy thier solitude. We keep complaining that life is boring. We think the person next to us is enjoying her/ his life and try to mimic what she/he does. we fail to see what interests us. We do not try to contemplate if that is what we are looking for?

For example, if some one says that they enjoyed thier weekend watching a movie we try to do the same in order to tell some one that I too enjoyed my weekend in doing such-and-such a thing. We try to see happiness from others perspective. We keep listening to others are deaf to what our heart says. In doing so we again get bored soon and start whining about life.





How about introspecting what happiness means to us? How about speculating little things which full fill our lifes? Life is never boring. Its our creativity to make it interesting. When we think with an open mind, things are crystal clear to us and we can enjoy each and every moment of our life. Look at the little things and hail your life with open arms.

Life is an unasnwered question
which do not need any discretion.
Life is a procession of unforeseen changes
Heed to your heart to clear all these hazes.
Life is a track of ups and downs
Life is a path of twists and turns
Do not wail on the past to make it yours.

Hope this message reaches you

As the time passes by, our friendship seems fading
Day by day with the hopes wading
Away from the promises that we made
To be togther in thick and thin till the end.


We together saw how beautiful the simple
Things in life are
We wished for each other looking at
The falling star
Our lifes filled with fun and grace
Making this world a better place


I could not find one reason why you left me alone
On your way as unknown, taking away my soul
Just leaving behind the memories of our relation
Which I would cherish for the rest of my life

I long to tell you how I feel
With the pain which only you could heal
I wish you the best wherever you are
I walk on my road of life pretending
That we are friends forever.




This is dedicated to you my dear friend( Shanthi).
I dont think I have been so much dependant on anyone
else apart from my parents. I still hope that we will
have those days back again...

Tanhayee ke gum mein ;-)

kahi khwabon me intezar bankar kho nahi jana
meri zindagi me ek rar bankar pyar le aana
meri rahonme humsafar bankar sath dena
meri yadonme hamesha ke liye ek bahar bankar reh jana
tum ek sapna nahi mere apna bankar aa jana

Don't Be Lost In My Dreams

I see myself snuggled in your arms
With your gentle touch of care that is so warm
With the spells of your becharms on me
When I am with you I find the child in me

I will never fear as long as you are near
Whispering the words that only I can hear
Come into my world to dry my last tear
To give me life and not to leave forever.



Though I have felt you many times, I haven't seen you yet
Lost in your world of love each moment your thoughts cleave
you have been a hopless dream which only I can believe
Make it come true so no more I need to peeve
And make everyone realize how much I Love You.


I can stop waiting, I can stop dreaming
But could I stop ny heart that beats only for you...
If the only place I can find you is in my dreams
I would sleep forever...
The love in me will never ever die.

Harshitha

Deep in my heart, you had been
Away from the world that is so mean
Hiding yourself for the reasons unknown
With the feelings that are so strong
But been put aside for too long.

But today I see you beholding my emotions
With streched wings unfolding without any hesitaions.
Giving form to my feelings that were felt
And the thoughts that were dwelt alone in the corner of my heart.

You are not just words put together
But my memories lasting forever
You are my reflection, my satisfaction
You are my secret for an endless joy.

Life...

Many a times I have made an attempt to understand what life is!!!
I used to have so many questions, many thoughts, and many concerns about life. I wanted to have my life in the way I wanted it to be...so many plans...so many dreams. Now when I stop and look back most of my dreams are either not fulfilled or they are so surreal. As kids we would have made our plans for being a great sport star or an actor or a successful business man or a super man if they are too fanciful. These are some of the plans for life. As the time goes we come to know that some are just unrealistic and some are impossible. We need not regret for them...in fact we should be happy for being so creative. Apart from these there are many other petty plans that we make which are part of life and which make our lives worth living. These don’t seem to be unrealistic but still not being implemented cause of many reasons. Hmmm...even in this case we need not regret as it is all in the game of life. We run so much to reach the goal of life but fail to know that we cannot run after the time. Time....the only thing that changes our life, heals many things, answers many questions. The only thing one can do is stop brooding over whatever has happened and accept the life the way it comes to you. Don’t try to change your life but change yourselves to make your life worth living. Don’t try to understand life, as one life won’t be enough for it.



And for me life is...
Sweet memories to ponder
An endless story to share
Treasured moments to cherish
Seasons of sorrows and joy to pass by
And finally a reason to live
For you and your loved ones.

On 'My' Way to 'Our' Life

Walking alone on the road of life
Seemingly endless without you beside
No earthly joy makes sense to me
without your presence next to me

U make my life beautiful
filling my way with flowers of love,
sprinkled by the showers of care

U make my journey meaningful
showing the bright colors of happiness
with the dark shades of sorrows to share



I'll be waiting to c u where our roads cross
gateway to the joy that spans miles across
Remember to meet me there where...
...my road to our life starts...

Its not a question... an answer for a better life

Has many forms, with many definitions
Has no boundaries, which can span miles and oceans
Doesn't grow old with time, which cannot be bought with a dime.

Bunch of promises to keep, without any hunch for sharing secrets
Starts with a "hai", grows with faith and never ends
That brings smile to ur face, having it in ones life is worthwhile.

My dear, its not any riddle nor a puzzle
its the best part of everyone's life .....its "Friendhsip"

HAAPY FRIENDHSIP DAY

U n Me

In a cool summer night
U n Me in the full moonlight.
Spell bound in delight
cozy in each others arms
watching the sky filled with stars.....

Though we are mum
our herats singing in rythm.
Hope the time too stops
So that I can be forever in your eyes
and melt in your warm arms.



May not the spells of fate nor angels
above us haul away our love for each other
The love that takes us to the places that we have never seen before.

Yeh meri Zindagi

Bate bahoot athe hai….bathe bahoot athe hai
Magar sunanane ko apna koi sathi nahi.

Assma ne kaha mujse dosti karlo,
Magar usme gehrayi nahi.
Sagar ne kaha mujse dosti karlo,
Magar usme mithas nahi.

Hawa ne kaha mujse dosti kralo,
Magar voh mere liye rukti nahi.
Suraj ne kaha mujse dosti karlo,
Magar voh meri aasuonse pigalthe nahi.

Chand ne kaha mujse dosti kralo,
Magar voh roj athe nahi.
Badal ne kaha mujse dosti kralo,
Magar voh mere samne jukhti nahi.
Khwabon ne kaha mujse dosti kralo,
Magar usme sachayi nahi.
Is duniya ne kaha mujse dosti kralo,
Magar usme pyar nahi.


Ek hai jisme geharayi hai, mithas hai,
Sachayi hai, pyar hai.
Magar usne mujse poocha nahi…
“Yeh meri zindagi …aakhir sapnome tho yeh keh do
Taki apni zindagi dilbar jeeloo.”
