Emotions

Emotions many have scarred your heart,
Its with them that every day you start.
Emotions give life a contrast very stark,
they are you, they leave their mark.
They make you feel whole, make you feel alone,
their presence prevents you from sinking like a stone.
We want to embrace life, but we ignore emotion,
they are with us in sorrow, also in elation.
Their importance is very real,
they put you on track, make you heal.
These are the greatest battles your mind ever fought,
to help emotions change you day in and day out.

Wordless Wonder

Some days I sit looking out of the window,
I am not lonely, but i dont know where to go.
I tried to think what I want,
thought of putting it in words but I cant.
The laws of life dictate our being,
they show us the light we are seeing.
I wish I were more clear,
give the thoughts in my mind a direction to steer,
myself clear of ignorance,
to give me an inherent sense.
of whats right and wrong,
and know when I dont belong.
So here I go with my shot,
this is the only opportunity I have got.
Let me not fail myself and avail,
this opportunity life has given me and prevail.

Thoughts Never Die

Looking back at those glory days,
I feel as if my mind was in a daze.
20 months have passed in the blink of an eye,
it makes my eyes misty, almost makes me cry.
Life will never be the same again,
it will feel like a parched land waiting for rain.
Memories will replace people and conversation,
what i will lose is better left to imagination.
All the chatter and noise I will surely miss,
oh god now is the time to grant me a wish.
These memories are the oasis in the desert,
makes life worth living, makes it pleasant.
All of a sudden I am out in this world all alone, single,
gives me a sense of foreboding, makes my senses tingle.
I have thought about this for some time,
makes me feel nostalgic, even makes me rhyme!!
I just hope that these memories in my mind will always lie,
they say memories are forever, thoughts never die.

Shaken

Where has the boy in me gone,
between 2 world's I am torn.
One half tells me go have fun,
the other says, be careful son.
Now is the time for You to run,
you will have your moments in the sun.
They say you find love if you see,
the real side of person and be,
what you are and not what they want you to be.
In some days I will be far away,
the time I spent here will everyday,
serve like the tonic to drive me,
its like every memory stays beside me.
As they say when a new day breaks,
some other place in shadows it drapes,
so will my life also be,
sunny with shadows for my friends to see.

Silence!

What is the sound that I strain to hear?
Is it my imagination or have I closed my ears?
A heavy curtain of stillness is in the air,
my god, its so very silent, a pin drop I can hear.
A man's silence is wonderful to listen to,
makes you wonder, what did he do?
The serenity of the silence hits you in the face,
the whole situation has an amazing grace.
Difficult it is to master the art of silence,
Its even more difficult than practicing non-violence.
Silence is the most beautiful sound,
it goes away easily, never hangs around.
Silence envelopes me as it nears,
Is it my imagination or have I closed my ears??

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.
