Wait

I have to endure this long wait
Before I bring out the best
Only dreams and desires can do nothing
I have to persist to achieve something
I know the wait has got prolonged
But I must hold on and be strong
Sometimes I can't understand it all
What is the reason behind this fall
I ask myself while I wonder
I guess some reasons are not to ponder
This endurance has its own cause
I must wait is all I can propose
You can't always get what you want
Says some wise saint
So let me flow with life while I wait
Someday heavens will open the gate

Reach the sky

when you want to touch the sky
fly high and make it thy
stop listening to the naysayers
only you can answer your prayers
keep flying till it click
that the flight is worth the risk
sooner or later time will teach
that sky is within your reach
start your flight with first ray of light
fly till it is taken over by night
someday during one such drill
you will touch the sky and feel the thrill
do not stop when you reach the pinnacle
else it would lead to debacle
you have just gotten into the orbit
fly once more to feel more of it
reach the sky to see the sunrise
and keep flying till you feel the sunshine

Lighthouse

In the middle of the ocean
Stands the lighthouse alone
Be it calm weather or storm
Lighthouse has a duty to perform
In the morning light
It guides the ships that are lost
In the darkness of night
It spreads the light
Day in and day out
It does its job without respite
I wonder what makes it so stout
For it never succumbs to any doubt
And always keeps its guiding post

Goodbye !!!

I have been in the nest for long
you cared for me and made me strong
you taught me basics of life
you showed me how the world is like
you always knew someday we will part
the day has come for me to depart
I wish I could stay for sometime more
Nestle in your lap like before
but I have to leave it all behind
I can keep only memories to remind
Don't weep behind my back
you know I want to come back
but If ever I don't come back
don't wait for me on the track
just remember the days we spent together
smile, for I am yours forever
Goodbye!! till we can be together....

Smile......

when there is no one to believe
when there is nothing to relieve
when you lost the only one whom you love
when heap of broken dreams is all you have
Go and look yourself in mirror and smile
because this is the smile of relief
the relief from unmoving past
the relief from something that could not last
the relief from someone who shred a doubt
the relief from nightmares of night
this smile has the promise of future
it has the power to endure the failure
it has the love of souls who care
it has the beauty of innocent dare

a butterfly

With color and beauty
Butterflies create the picturesque vicinity
Everyone is jealous of its radiance
While forgetting the agony of its emergence
Yes my dear butterfly began its life as larva
An ugly, unwanted, shy caterpillar
Hiding under leaves like a wanted killer
Nobody was there when it was hungry
Crying out to get attention of all and sundry
It remained alone inside its cocoon
Until that day when it decided to transform
It was that day when world felt its presence
The caterpillar had taken its vengeance
It metamorphosed itself to stunning excellence
Leaving world gasping as its perfect brilliance
Yet the young butterfly always keeps in mind
That his entire surround is not so kind
It should spread across love and glory
Yet forever remember his amazing story

Rowing the boat of life

With the power of self
I am rowing this boat of life
In this perilous sea so wide
Rowing without a compass to guide
Through forces of imperfection
I have been trying to find a direction
For some reason Stars are being unkind
Can’t understand the language of wind
Yet hope to awaken something within
Before this boat sinks-in
Not a single island has yet surfaced
Fatigued body wants to get refreshed
Inability to see the shore
Creates emptiness never felt before
They say many guiding boats float around
But those needs to be found
Sea changes flow as you perceive
Help comes to those who truly believe

Had & Yet

I had the fire
I had the desire
I am yet to get out of quagmire
I had the charm
I had the form
I am yet to become the norm
I had the glow
I had the flow
I am yet to become a rainbow
I had the time
I had the power
I am yet to have my finest hour!!
