You are here.......





(Picture from internet, source not known)


As
 Lines of a pencil
And strokes of a brush,
In
Happy humming
Or
Tears
He may shade painting,

Painting
feelings 
……..To reach you

Yes
You are here

Trail


As I grow older…..
It is almost compelling
To talk or to write
To express….

Alone in my room,
Wondering why?

Water is dripping from a leaking tap,
Making sound,
Disturbing tranquility.

I  look up
Overhead tank is almost empty……

Not long
Before sound stops.

Void

She is known for her managing skills

Things are well under her control
Be it at work, at home, in party, in picnic
All well managed
Yet she often feels sad
Especially at the end
Be it end of a working day or
When party is over

There is a void at every end
And
She is yet to master art of managing void

Curtain



If I reveal it,
Seen by you is only a side facing you
Other sides remain unknown

If I say it,
Heard is only that reach you
Silent cry of my heart remains unheard

Is it not better to just let it be
Behind the curtain?

Curtain doesn’t curtail, it
Alleviates love, for
On its both sides is God,
In reasons as well in passion


Question is
‘Is HE in my heart?’


**
“Since you are a breath in God’s sphere
And a leaf in God’s forest,
You too should rest in reason and
Move in passion”
--Kahlil Gibran

Clandestine?


She inquires
I deviate, uneasily.

She doesn’t know
I will not tell her
Intention is not to hurt her

For I love her

Still why it happens?
I wonder, lost in the world away
I do not have all answers
For who can claim to know the whole truth?

‘Don’t bother, take it easy’
Her casual remark, stroking my hair,
Brings me back to present

It takes us both closer to God
Closer to Truth

She certainly loves me more

Embroidery






Gift of a Knitted heart
Helped stitch her
Wounded love




Yet scars remind painful past
Lost, at standstill
Moments pass

With a heavy sigh
Getting on with chores
She smiles at pain

Pinks, greens and blues
Splash of philosophical white
Embroidery of life

Strength


Heart bleeds red
Yet smile on face
Hiding pain

Love not just a reason
It is strength
Holds both, smile and pain

Just a walk



I am here to walk some distance
To spot and enjoy beauty around
In places, in people,
In tales, in talks
In gardens, in jungle
In rain, in bathroom showers
In city roads and mountain tracks,

Magic I seek
To put smile on my lips
A song of love in my heart
Dance in my deeds and
Fragrance of friendship in air
For some distance I walk here

I am here to walk some distance

Creativity


A Loving heart struggle
To bring out
Beauty felt within
In infinite
Different ways
In her
Elating work

It is her answer to the call

I call it creativity.

True Nature






A Bud

Opens up to nature

Revealing its true nature



Just let it be



It will attain.

HIS Kindness


I see you in pain
And it pains my heart

You see it on my face
And nod silently


Many earthly pleasures sink but
Love floats in sea of pain!

celebration




Each heartbeat
Each breath
One with the whole

Nothing special has to happen
Nothing else wanted

Each moment,
Linked with another
Yet complete and
Free

Free
To Love
To create
To share

Scarecrow

A scarecrow is
Mocking at me





All I want is beyond it

I am on the edge
Since many lives
Waiting for it to pass



Life is slipping away

Lopsided not



 When grief takes over
When life is a burden too heavy to carry
Then it comes naturally to take a pause….
Stand still,
Taking load off head and heart
And staring back straight in the eyes of the life
Saying
“I am game
Let’s play it again
I am ready
I am ready to love you again”

Grief drains you so does it empowers

Bathing


Bathing

Lies, made up stories, bullying....
Attitude so disgusting,
I exited, deciding not to counter
Leaving room for better sense to prevail.

Feeling dirty within
I felt like taking a dip in the holy Ganges

Just then it rained
I looked up, smile passing my face.

HE has ways to take care!

Forget me not






Time to say bye
Heart tender; remember
When memory incites

Flight of a kite








Light & colorful
Riding current high
I am seen flying in the sky
Proud to be a kite






Control is in hands not mine
How high and how long He decides
Ever thankful for a flight
Prayers are for landing fine
When it is time
