Story of my life (so far)

In a state of serious despair
I nearly pull out all my hair
My mind gags as though there was no air
The whole world feels so unfair

Wake up in the morning and go the train station
Pick and board the shiniest train that has the most action
Meet folks and make friends as you go
Keep switching trains and moving with the crowd flow

Aimlessly and happily you wander and travel
You Let life and its complexities idly unravel
This I feel is the sad story of my life
Not that very hard – never had a Damocles knife

When I hear people say “pursue your passion and dreams”
The corner of my head, full of new ideas, gleams
Before I can even savor and process these thought streams
“This is crazy – will never work” a demon in me screams.

I keep moving, smiling, laughing – hiding the underlying grey
Hoping to be possessed by a demon-slaying passion someday
Chasing the demons – it is the passion’s job or mine?
I keep asking this question doubtfully, while still looking for that “Sign”

Sea of Pain

I keep drifting in a sea of pain,

Efforts to steer ashore are all in vain

Yelling out in despair very very dark,

I keep bobbing up and down like a petty cork

A huge wave lifts me, I fly up in the air,

Briefly thinking that it’s the end of all despair

The higher the rise, the deeper the fall,

The pain that comes back is like hitting a stone wall

Painkillers are the lifebuoys that help keep me afloat,

As I keep looking for my final rescue boat

Some days I feel I am drifting towards the Shore,

I consciously try and paddle a little more

The next day I find the shore nowhere in sight,

My pain free future looks less and less bright

In all this journey, always walking a tight rope,

One thing I would never give up is hope

Like all good things need to come to an end,

The bad things in life should also self amend

With such hopeful thoughts coursing though my mind,

Thinking that soon I ll leave all this pain behind

I Keep drifting in a sea of pain,

Efforts to steer ashore are all in vain

!! THREAD !!

How beautiful you are, you tiny silk thread..

I can see in you, a lot of stories unsaid..

Oh beautiful thread what is your name?

None of your paths seems to be the same..

 

Starting with one end in a spindle in the womb..

To zigzag all along till your your other end is in the tomb..

 

Thousands of other threads you intertwine with all along..

Some are for right intentions and most are for the wrong..

 

Although all the knots make the journey seem rough..

Without these knots the journey would be lonely and tough..

 

Some knots are celebrated publicly and the happy bells are rung..

Some knots are deemed shady and the knots go unsung..

 

The more and more time the thread travels..

Less and less chance that its secret unravels..

 

The knots are covered and hidden to depths so great..

That no new thread can unearth them except by fate..

 

The more other threads you touch, the better you are..

It does not matter how long you have travelled so far..

 

Now I understand, you are the thread that causes so much strife..

You are afterall the thread of LIFE!! 

An ode on your absence

Your Absence

I Feel an absence so very deep,

A sense of foreboding begins to creep...

The Emptiness is so profound,

It completely engulfs everything around...

I feel as though I am in the dark,

The present and the future very very stark...

As old sweet memories quickly pass by,

Alone in my room I sob and I cry...

How badly I miss your friendly chides,

How badly I miss the mischief your every look hides...

I took you for granted when you were by my side,

Now life is taking me on a long bumpy ride...

Overall I am going through fiery hell

How dark is this darkness no words can ever tell…

Today Is the Perfect Day!!

To Start something afresh it is never late,
Infact "TODAY" is the perfect date...

Whatever you want do it today,
You might never get a chance another day...

Its never wise to always rue,
What life tomorrow could hold for you...

Its so simple all our life's mystery,
Our actions today, become tomorrow's history...

You might stumble and you might fall,
But you should give it your best shot after all...

What would life be if full of successes,
To feel the sun's brightness one needs eclipses..

You join millions when you settle for what you have got,
Never think why try, always think why not...

Keep counting your blessings never mind your curses,
Get up, Wake up and chase your dreams towards success...

If We'll dream big work hard, to the world we'll show,
There is a pot of gold to be had at the end of every rainbow!!!
