Once again…!
Last night, once again
You came visiting in my dreams
If only I had stretched my hand
I could’ve had your feel!
You were there, once again
As vivid as always
To get over it, and you
It’s going to take me days!
I was wide awake in the dark
Tears rolling down my face
Mind told me it was just a dream
Heart, still looking for your trace!
Whatever it was, that was said
Still lingers in my mind
But to listen to it all over again
I want to sleep and press rewind!
Not knowing the real way ahead
I just let a deep sigh escape
Not looking forward to the might I’ll need
To get back to a normal state!

Letting go….!
Repeatedly you try
To find it where you lost it
You keep turning back
Still finding it hard to quit
Those doors closed long back
When will you finally admit
The genuineness that you want
They cannot ever commit
No, they will not give you
The kind of love you want
No matter what you try
Their unkind ways will haunt
You couldn’t change them then
How do you think you’ll now
Try to atleast not let them
Trample your heart anyhow
So, gather up your courage
And take that first bold stride
Leave behind what broke you
Find peace on the other sideFor in letting go, there’s freedom
A path unbound and true
Where self-love will embrace you
In ways you never knew -
My Baba… My Guru… My All…!
I sit at Your feet, mesmerised
YOU are my Baba, I’m Your child
Fondly, as YOU caress my head
All my fears I start to shed
Looking at YOUR love-filled eyes
Deepest of my anxiety dies
YOUR one look cleanses me
YOU hold my hand and I feel free
YOUR enigmatic smile
and – when YOU lovingly say “My child”
Makes my emotions run wild
My tears flow incessant, but I feel mild
YOU are my Baba, my strength, my all
At YOUR lotus feet, I repeatedly befall…
-
YOU… me…!
YOU have magical ways
However gloomy the days
YOU bless me somehow
Through cracks, YOUR light YOU allow…
Mysteriously and without a sound
Sometimes like a thought profound
Quietly amongst my lows
An encouraging idea YOU throw…
Enigmatically smiling as YOU do
A new path YOU bring to my view
Lifting me from the misery
YOU save me from possible injury…
Enwrapping me in YOUR gracious care
YOU caution me when I am unaware
At times when I cry helplessly
YOU stroke my head most tenderly…
In times of fear YOU hold my hand
In the toughest situations, YOU send a plan
In inertia, YOU become my energy
YOU reassure me to calm my anxiety….
So thankful that YOU are in my life
For YOUR grace I am alive
Just gratitude flows seamlessly
Please keep loving me endlessly…!

Finally…!
To those places and people, she finally turned her back
Her mind strong, yet heart full of emotions,
With her memories packed she finally left
With a conviction that she never knew she had!
She finally ceased to think about that and them
Had mulled too long over unimportant things
Now was the time to live the decision
She knew she was right, didn’t bother those who condemned!
As if in a trance, yet so sure
Watching her own life as a reel
So strong, and so very brave
She knew her decision was true and pure!
It took her long, every drop of courage
She knew she might be judged
And questioned and suggested
Yet she did what was needed to undo the damage!
She left where she didn’t belong
No malice, just good wishes in return
Finally, she wanted to be on her own
Finally free, to sing her own song…
