Happy moments of life

Smiling faces,

happy gatherings,

Receiving awards & degrees…..

Captured,

Seen, later

Shown off.

Between two pages

Unseen remain

Many difficult,

Sad,

Struggling,

Unpleasant,

Unhappy

Moments.

Not captured in pictures,

Yet core of life

And love for life.

Unseen

Unfancied.

OSI Prompt : Fancy

Blessed Moments

Blessed Moments.

(OSI Prompt: Fancy)

I FANCY

Those few moments

When I ceased being me,

Dissolved

To

Be one with you.

I found real me then,

For those few moments….

-

Looking up

One Single Impression: Grace

Dancing stars

Always inviting to join,

To play.

Unaware me

Busy in petty games,

Ignore.

His grace and

I look up,

…And smile pass my face.

-

Please Take Over….

Demolished and dissolved ego

Flow out with tears…

As i pray.

Caught in the process

 Champion of the cause she was.

No child labor – for she cared for children,

Fighting very hard for the cause.

Visiting places,

Meeting likeminded people,

Presentation on cause,

Explaining,

Interviews,

Discussions on TV…….

So important was fighting....

For the cause,

It took most of her time,

Most of her energy.

She hardly had any time

For her children,

Champion of the cause she was.

Known as such.

OSI Prompt : Champion

Crazy craving

Since ages....

My relentless efforts 

To merge with you

Is on.....

We meet,

We are together

We embrace,

Yet never one.

You remain you.

Stubborn.  Hard.

And I have to retreat.

Yet that crazy craving to be one with you

Makes me try again and again

Again and again……

…..Someday you will give in

And……. it will be all over.

No wanting

No desire

No craving

No loneliness.

OSI Prompt : Lonely

Lonely not.

Dear friend,

We met,

We talked,

We shared, we played,

And we loved.

Hours passed

in as many moments.

                       

When it was time to go,

You left.

                   

Here I am left alone….

Yet my heart is filled with your innocent love.

My mind feels light & confident.

I can sing.

I can dance,

I can laugh,

I can read,

I can write,

I can dream,

I float in moments of

Oneness with you.

Alone I am.

Lonely not….

-

OSI Prompt: Lonely

Child Within

I pretend to be independent…….

Yet there are times

I want to be taken care of,

Want to be looked after,

Want to be led, held by my finger.

There are times

I just want to drop all my guards

And be carefree…

There are times

 I want to cross borders

Want to rebel…..

Yet know that I am loved,

 safe, secure,

Taken care of,

Need not worry…

These are the moments…….

I feel lonely.

------------------------------------------------

OSI Prompt : Lonely

Cleansing

Don’t feel like reacting,

Keeping still….

It gets heavier…..

Silently...

Eyes get wet

Filled….

It slowly drops out,

……flows……

Washing away

Many illusions.

Smile passes my face,

As I feel lighter.

-

Just do it

It is difficult….

…..but I will ‘try’ said she.

What she meant was,

If it is done, ‘I’ have done it

If fails, it was difficult in any case.

‘Try’ is tricky

Diplomatic,

Sitting on the fence-

Head I win, tail you lose.

Non- committing

Half hearted, at the best.

Instead, 

“just do it”

takes long way.
