Never Quit

Fighters dont quit, quitters dont fight,
they keep moving forward, left foot after right.
Never take a backward step,
its not about looking nice and hep.
The joy of winning can only be felt,
after many failures with which you have dealt.
The world never remembers the runners up,
there is only one guy who holds the winners cup.
There's only exit, one way out,
Available if you are true, give it your best shot.
Winners are remembered and cherished,
nobody cares if the loser lives or has perished.
How many remember the finalists at the Olympic games?
they are just facts, they remain mere names.
The winner becomes larger than life, a hero,
the loser has nothing to show; zero.
It pays in life to take defeat in your stride and never for a bit sit,
quitters dont fight, fighters dont quit!

First Rain

The grass looks fresh and green,
the road is wet and clean.
The first rain of the season has just arrived,
the parched lands thirst can no longer be denied.
The beautiful smell of drenched mud is in the air,
the whole environment looks clean and clear.
The first drop that sits on the leaves,
look like the pearl that an oyster gives.
The mountains looks majestic and regal,
covered with mist, fog, seem ethereal.
The clouds hang very low,
time seems to go real slow.
We long to play in the rain,
this is one of the most beautiful experiences I tell my brain.
Its like the prayers have been answered of all those who for it cried,
The first rain of the season has just arrived.

Freedom

What does the term 'freedom' mean?
What meaning from it can you glean?
It means the right to do whatever you feel
and to see that others also get a fair deal.
The onus is on you,
to decide what is right for you.
Its said that freedom gives life a bright hue,
but too much freedom and you could rue.
In life we love to bask in the sunshine of freedom,
if not life will be so full of boredom.
In these times of free wheeling emotion,
each and every one of us has a unique notion.
Enjoy these lovely moments in the sun, dont be glum,
these are the joys of freedom!!!!

Life is like a boxing bout!!!!

The world is moving very fast around me, but I am in a daze,
I am moving around in slow motion as if I am oblivious to the pace.
My world is full of clutter and insanity,
but I know that I need to face up to my problems and handle reality.
Its not too hard if I come to think of it,
but I need to focus my thoughts if i want to get out of this and not get hit.
As i write down what I feel here today,
my feelings are mixed but my thoughts begin to see the light of day.
My mood is changing slowly but surely,
I believe that I will come out of this situation thinking purely.
This is according to me what life is all about,
Its a to and fro battle; its like a boxing bout!!!

"Circus"

All the world's a stage,
more often its like circus animals in a cage.
We go from place to place,
there are many occasions we grace.
Many a joy to people we give,
its because of that feeling that we live.
Many of us are like that lion in his own den,
outside that den we behave like a timid hen.
The animals in the cage are similar to us,
they feel violated and abused and caught up in a mess.
Their insides are burning to such a degree,
that they are yearning to break free.
But we are those animals is what life tells us,
we are all a part of this never ending circus!!

Sands of Time

There are many wishes, many thoughts,
I have missed many good spots.
A lifetime of knowledge i have gained,
but its really about the experiences that i have learned.
i stand here as the sands of time continue to fall,
how i wish I could hold time and make it stall.
Lots of memories I have from here to cherish,
I know in my heart that they will never perish.
They say life is like a long walk home,
but its here that we continue to roam.
Memories galore I have got with me,
they will always walk with me wherever I be.
As they say the greater the joy, the greater the pain,
its like getting drenched in the first monsoon rain.
As i sit here today and write this rhyme,
I hold still and watch the sands of time!!
