  • All YOU…!

    Love YOU Baba! ♥️🙏🏻
     
     
     
     I talk to YOU night and day
     YOUR comforting look paves my way
     I get courage when I look at YOU
     YOUR mesmerising smile comes to my rescue
      
     Sometimes when I look at YOU
     I smile, share & shed tears too
     I let my heart out so clearly bare
     Not a sentiment which I don’t share
     Sometimes not a word is said
     Yet YOU show me the way I need to tread
      
     I think how much I’ll love to be
     In YOUR embrace - and for me to see
     YOUR charming face and enigmatic self
     Will be a treat to behold in itself! 
      
     Keep guiding me, for I know none
     Keep smiling at me, for there is no one
     Keep loving me, like YOU always do
     Keep holding me, like a mother true
      
     I am, for YOU are looking at me
     I walk, for YOU are holding me
     I talk, for YOU are blessing me
     I see, what YOU are showing me
      
     Everyday this love grows
     My craziness sees a new fold
     No one, nothing and nowhere but YOU
     My power, my father, my friend - all YOU!

  • Moments of Peace

    The joy in my steps
and the lift in my spirits  
The smile that doesn’t fade, 
My song has new lyrics
The cold air too warms me
and seems to offer a cuddle
Is it in the air for all?
Or a special treat for me to see!
Looking beyond the darkness
I rise to see the rainbow
Following the lights shining
I feel a special tenderness
As I walk towards the lights 
Never bothering the shadows 
The fear fading off
I steadily approach the bright
As I stand where I reached
It seems the safest place to be
With my heart ready for this 
My moments of peace I seize!

  • Signs…!

    We all must have felt it for sure

    The numerous signs being sent our way

    Atleast for once they must’ve lured

    Did you try to know what they want to say?

    Sending signs to us to hear

    Only if we’ll slow down to note

    The universe is out there to share

    Only if we paused and wrote

    Isn’t it magical to feel?

    That we’re not alone in this

    What’s the reason to conceal

    If these signs give us some bliss

    From the breeze that soothe 

    Or the bird that chirp

    Or the magical words 

    That mysteriously come up!

    The universe shows 

    in different ways

    That if we ask – 

    Reply gets displayed

    And if it replies,

    It listens too

    So think before –

    You relay through

    Let your message be 

    positive and bright

    The world needs to have

    More right, more light

    So, send out your love for all out there

    For one who probably waits to hear

    Will get a message of your love and care

    Maybe you’ll be the answer to their relentless prayer! 

  • Love YOU Baba ❤️

    I see YOU in the sunshine

    I see YOU in the rain

    YOU’re with me in my laughter

    And with me in my pain

    I’m a part of YOU for ever

    Free, yet tied to YOU in chain!


    I see YOU in my morning

    I see YOU when the day’s done

    YOU’re there when the wind blows

    And even when there’s none

    I’m mesmerised by YOUR smile

    Of my life YOU’re the shining sun!

    YOU hold my hand tightly

    Yet urge me to tread

    YOU lead the path always

    Like YOU had kindly said

    YOU find a way to reach me

    Whenever I get misled!


    I find peace at YOUR feet

    And solace in YOUR presence

    I look at YOU for everything

    Want to soak in YOUR essence

    Baba, YOUR being there with me –

    Makes even this look like heaven!

  • Stay by my side… ❤️

    Your word brings me cheer

    I always want you near

    I smile at your thought dear

    To lose you is my biggest fear


    Your voice makes me smile

    With you I can walk miles

    Your sight warms my heart

    You’re my inseparable part


    Your presence makes my day

    I would never want you far away

    Life with you is a joy ride

    Always stay by my side!

  • When you come passing by…!

    2

     

    A vivid dream of you,

    whenever comes to me…

    Makes me forget what is,

    and leads me to the debris…

    The visions that I see,

    I’ve never lived with you…

    From where do they flow in,

    and leave me to pursue…

    I try to bring myself back,

    to the reality that is now…

    But the residue of what I saw,

    doesn’t readily allow…

    Feeling like a no one,

    among those I know…

    I carry on to sway,

    and try not to show…

    What’s going on in my heart,

    and what makes me a bit reclined…

    I try not to overthink,

    the reason that was behind…

    Accepting it as a memory,

    of somewhere that we were…

    I allow them to reverberate,

    until when they go blur…! 

  • Pointless Agony…!

    4073904

    Times change and people too

    Those who don’t are very few

    Words gets lost and promises broken

    A stillness – remains unspoken

    Vague vacuum lingers on

    To a dullness, you feel strongly drawn

    Reminiscing on the bygone days

    Till when you finally parted ways

    Living life like a dream at times

    Missing that, with you who rhymed

    Feeling strong the strain within

    The anguishing pain becomes a twin

    Grey clouds always shroud your sky 

    Uproar within of what and why

    Come to fore to disturb the peace

    Perplexing you on how to cease

    The restless mind needs to be aware

    This pointless agony will lead nowhere

  • You’re not mine…

    1

    I was a fool to think that I belong

    To consider this as our song

    But not one, I got many signs

    That – you’re not mine

    Hearts afar, across the shore

    I don’t want to try any more

    Our stars were never aligned 

    The fact is that you’re not mine

    Now or ever I don’t plan to stay

    Only plan to keep away

    Any offer from you, I plan to decline

    Because – you’re not mine

    Been and seen what was there to see

    Now, just want to be free

    From the clutches and fate’s design

    I resign, ‘coz you’re not mine

    Give and take – have done it all

    Heard clearly this deafening call

    The final rejection is utterly divine

    Yes, you never were mine! 

  • Goodness – a tough test!

    294432-Be-Happy-Do-The-Best-You-Can-Be-Good-And-Kind

    I might’ve made mistakes

    Put hefty stuff at stake

    But not emotions or feelings

    No one’s heart at bleeding 

    I might’ve gone astray

    Could’ve led to dismay

    But never intentionally 

    Not on false alibi

    I might’ve been wrong

    Vices with me belong 

    But never betrayed a friend

    Only love I’ve sent

    I might’ve hurt someone

    Could’ve taken a wrong turn 

    But never with venom at heart

    No, I don’t know that art

    Tried to do my best

    And will – till I finally rest

    But goodness is a tough test

    These days, ‘tis a matter of jest

    Even when ridiculed

    Due to it I’ve been fooled

    Will want to spread a word

    In favour of it to the world

    Do good and be good forever

    Only goodness pays at last

    Cause harm, knowingly never

    Even to those who have harassed

  • With love for YOU BABA – my Guru, my Friend, my Guide, my Everything…! ❤️

    Offering myself – at YOUR holy feet
    Watching YOUR smile – an absolute treat
    Following YOUR word – my way of life
    Holding YOUR hand – I cross each strife
    Merging into YOU – my ultimate desire
    Obtaining YOUR grace – my heart’s fire
    Chanting YOUR name – is my heartbeat 
    Thinking of YOU – makes me complete
    By YOUR grace – I wish to cross this maze
    YOUR embrace – my safest place! 

  • Just Be There…!

    Even if you’re not able to help
    When you hear, someone yelp
    Even if you feel short of words
    To mend a heart that badly hurts
    Though you can’t offer a helping hand
    To make a stumbled person stand
    Though you know no ways or means
    To lessen those cries or screams
    Even when you know nothing would cure
    No effort you do will help assure
    Even when you try to rephrase
    No words you say offer any solace
    Don’t give up and walk away
    Hang on, just for another day
    JUST BE THERE – hold hands quietly 
    Just this – may go a long way you see
    JUST BE THERE – give your shoulder to lean
    Hang around, be there to be seen
    JUST BE THERE – care in your own special way 
    You may be an end to someone’s dismay
    JUST BE THERE – share a smile or a hug
    Don’t be the one, to pass off with a shrug
    JUST BE THERE – be thoughtful and kind
    You might save someone’s faith in mankind
    JUST BE THERE – be a helping hand in strife
    Your thoughtfulness might save a life…! 

  • I’ll get to, Amen!

    I cried for you, I called for you 
    To hold your hand, I tried too
    Seems like just yesterday
    When you made me smile in your special way
    While we waited for us to meet
    About our love, we were discreet
    Who played this game which made us lose?
    Did they ask you – I wasn’t asked for views!
    Sadly – that brought an end 
    A painful twist, a tragic bend
    Even now after its bygone
    From each other, we have withdrawn
    Your thoughts come by knocking you see
    They torment me, want to make me flee
    Nothing of which there’s guarantee
    Still, I miss you so very extremely
    One day I know we will surely face
    No, I don’t wait for any embrace
    Just words – which you should’ve said back then
    Hoping to hear those – I’ll get to, Amen! 



  • Devotee’s prayer…!

    We know we err not less but much
    We know we fault even knowingly as such
    We know we fail many tests that You give
    We beg to You – Oh Father, please forgive

    Take away this agony which has been hurled
    Dear Lord – please heal the world!

    Save us from this crisis gnawing our senses
    Please guide us away from our offenses
    Save us from this panic creeping our heart  
    Only You know this magical art

    Keep us from having this terrible fall
    Dear Lord – please save us all!

    Show Your light and let us see
    The victory of faith of Your devotee
    Show the path which You want us to take
    Please help, guide and pardon our mistakes

    Don’t leave our hands, do not forsake
    Dear Lord – please give us one more retake


  • Prayer…!

    img_7858

    With a heart so heavy and eyes so numb

    I look at Thee with questions some

    Why am I the target of this?

    Why do I have to live with this?

    When I see clearly what they do to me?

    Why can’t I let myself free?

    Why do I need to stay chained this way?

    I would like to leave, if I may

    Did I really choose this for me

    If yes, then what is yet to see

    To reach where You want me to be

    Oh can I reach there sooner please

    Make me, before this breaks me 

    A plea with all my heart to flee

    Help me and light my path ahead

    Please guide me – like “I will”, You said! 

  • Love…!

    Love 1

    In your eyes

    Lies my paradise

    In your embrace

    I discover new ways

    In your essence

    I find my fragrance

    Everywhere with you

    Nowhere without you

    In each moment with you

    I discover a happiness new

    Surround me with your love

    Lets soar high above

    Grinning from ear to ear

    My love knows no fear

  • You & I – still a harmony…!

    1

    In my silence, you come as a thought

    Memories flow in right on dot

    Breezing in through my varied day

    Your face in my mind makes its way

    Sometimes in my hustle bustle

    I get reminded of our fun-filled tussle

    Even though many miles away

    Your thoughts never cease to fray

    Right into my very day

    They come in with something to convey 

    Sometimes through my otherwise cheer

    You walk by as a giggle dear

    Sometimes without a warning trace

    A tear drops by leaving me in daze

    Even when I am asleep

    You wake me up sometimes as I weep

    Such vivid dreams which shake me bad

    For hours then I stay so sad

    Without a thought I call your name

    Wonder why it still makes me feel same

    No reason why you still come to mind

    Nothing more left for me to find

    Even though you’re not in sight

    Thinking of you gives me delight

    Confused I am, but let it be

    Even when you’re not there to see

    I feel you very much around

    Memories come and how they hound

    I am left reveling in this symphony

    You and I, still a harmony… 

  • JOY!

    1

    The soothing breeze

    The glistening sun

    The birds so free

    The dogs that run

    The smiles I see

    On passers-by 

    Fills me with glee

    I take a sigh…

    Beauty abound

    Much to enjoy

    I look around

    Did I hear “ahoy”!

    Sailing towards

    A lovely boat

    Claps and cheers

    As they afloat

    I smile at them

    They wave in cheer

    The clinking glass

    As they said “Cheers”

    A little ahead –

    on the way

    A fleet of birds –

    merrily sway

    The trees that dance –

    in the wind

    Their rhythm 

    Left me with a grin

    I have no words

    Which can express

    The joy and glee –

    I stood impressed

    Basking in this warmth

    I said a little prayer 

    I know my Lord –

    That You are everywhere! 

  • Life, or Strife…?

    Not one who is not in pain in this life
    Not one who is free from some major strife
    As I meet people, such pain I see
    Is this how You wanted Your world to be? 

    Fake smiles, each fighting gross pain
    All the advices just go in vain
    Tears and sobs and compromise
    Before age we need to act wise

    It hurts me immense and I want to help
    It breaks my heart to hear them yelp
    I want to give them the balm they seek
    Atleast give strength to those who’re weak

    But nothing soothes the pain which kills
    Nothing which really helps to fill
    The void – which’s so deep and bare
    I just sit with You to say a prayer… 

    Finding our way in this maze You’ve made
    Listening to Your voice which sometimes fades
    Steering along the stumbling blocks
    We’re trying to reach our destination rock

    Just keep us on the path which is right
    Don’t let us fall, just hold us tight
    None who can soothe, none who can guide
    None who can help us cross this trench so wide

    Don’t leave our hand while we try to walk
    Just be there when we want to talk
    Give us the strength to bear this strife
    Let us have a happy life…! 





  • Why do I not…!

    1

    Why is it so tough to accept and see?

    The reality, which has become of me…

    Why does this heart still want that string?

    On which I want to dance & sing…

    Why is it so tough to carry on?

    With what is there around, upon…

    Why do I always keep looking back?

    With teary eyes the bygone track…

    Why do I not find it fully right?

    What lies ahead of me, in sight…

    Why do I keep asking the same questions?

    Not asking, yet – seeking suggestions…

    Why do I not feel eager for tomorrow? 

    How to remove these, clouds of sorrow…

    Why do I feel this strange fright?

    Of what lies ahead, and what might…

    Why do I see this looming gloom?

    Where is the light, how to resume…

    Why do I cry, even though I smile?

    With every step, I want to rest a while…

    Why do I not, finally let go?

    And allow myself to flow with the flow… 

  • No US without a fuss…!

    1

    There is no us, 

    Without a bis fuss

    Whenever you take my hand

    Life comes with tough demands

    It takes a toll very heavy

    Taxes many get levied

    The joy to come to you

    Gets clouded with a tough residue

    Mysteries that keep haunting

    And make our life so daunting

    Where is the joy that we came for?

    Is this all that we asked in store?

    No meaning that I can draw

    Just feeling a terrible awe

    Of being together with you

    For I feel so down and blue

    For probably there’ll never be a us

    Without a big fuss….
