Just Be There…!
Even if you’re not able to helpWhen you hear, someone yelpEven if you feel short of wordsTo mend a heart that badly hurts
Though you can’t offer a helping handTo make a stumbled person standThough you know no ways or meansTo lessen those cries or screamsEven when you know nothing would cureNo effort you do will help assure
Even when you try to rephraseNo words you say offer any solaceDon’t give up and walk awayHang on, just for another day
JUST BE THERE – hold hands quietlyJust this – may go a long way you see
JUST BE THERE – give your shoulder to leanHang around, be there to be seen
JUST BE THERE – care in your own special wayYou may be an end to someone’s dismay
JUST BE THERE – share a smile or a hugDon’t be the one, to pass off with a shrug
JUST BE THERE – be thoughtful and kindYou might save someone’s faith in mankind
JUST BE THERE – be a helping hand in strifeYour thoughtfulness might save a life…! -
I’ll get to, Amen!
I cried for you, I called for youTo hold your hand, I tried tooSeems like just yesterdayWhen you made me smile in your special wayWhile we waited for us to meetAbout our love, we were discreetWho played this game which made us lose?Did they ask you – I wasn’t asked for views!Sadly – that brought an endA painful twist, a tragic bendEven now after its bygoneFrom each other, we have withdrawnYour thoughts come by knocking you seeThey torment me, want to make me fleeNothing of which there’s guaranteeStill, I miss you so very extremelyOne day I know we will surely faceNo, I don’t wait for any embraceJust words – which you should’ve said back thenHoping to hear those – I’ll get to, Amen!

Prayer…!

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!

You & I – still a harmony…!

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!

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!

Why do I not…!

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…

Lurking Snakes….!
Beware of all those lurking snakesWaiting to strike and biteCallously and with not much thoughtThey will come and strike!They pretend as if they really careThey laugh and say flowery stuffBehind your backs all they wantIs to hurt you and get roughThey don’t bother who they hurtHow much pain they causeI wonder do they even have a heartDo they ever think or pauseHow much ever good you doWhatever you do to helpThese creeps will cause the pain they wantThey will leave you alone to yelpOnly thing which gives some peaceWhich stops me from saying moreIs the faith that they will see their fateThey will pay for each heart they toreDivine vengeance is what comes inWhen such types think they’ve wonAnd when HE strikes – believe meTo help them there will be none! -
I Still miss you…!

I hear your voice, above all sounds
I feel your presence, even when you’re not around
I sing your song, mindlessly alone
Want to harp on the music, which has your tone
I want to be with you, night and day
I find myself repeating words, that you used to say
I hum the melody, that reminds me of you
I stay in touch with those, who still know you
Madly and deeply, I still miss you
Even after years, of our adieu
Shrieking in me, is a question far above
Do you miss me too, the way I do my love?
-
One World…!
Who has made these boundaries,
Who has made these walls?
Who has made these languages
Who has set these protocols?
Who has made these differences
In how we say our words?
Why these different cultures
Why aren’t we free as birds?
Why to cross the waters,
Do we need all the permissions?
Why upon free movement
There are various prohibitions?
Will someday come at last
Which will bring in emancipation?
With this amazing thought
I am in fascination
Hope a day would come
Where all of us or at least some
Will know the power of unity
And the strength of being a community
Hope someday soon we see dreams unfurled
And get to live in this – united One World!

Reminiscing…!

So tired of untying the endless knots
Instead YOU should’ve said – “rather not”
To things which I probably didn’t deserve
If they were for – someone else reserved
To have and still not is a bigger misery
I would rather, not have and remain free
This tryst of destiny is very strange
Not meant for me, these things in range
Beguiling it is, beyond my grasp
How come I got chained in this trap
Laughing sometimes, at what has come to
Want to start all over anew
Will YOU help me – this one time last
Make me forget the agonising past
Give me words as fresh as dew
To write a song with no residue!
-
In You My Peace…!

Come, hold my hand and lead me there
You and I can live all our dreams where
Singing our love song without one bother
We stay entwined in our love forever
Flying high, soaring in the sky
With no one to ask on anything – why
Where we can live, absolutely carefree
Holding hands we’ll run with glee
Seeing myself in your eyes forever
I wouldn’t want another thing ever
Together we’ll dance the way none did
From dusk until the next dawn slid
No worry in heart, no tear to shed
Let’s pen a story which has never been said
Reaching out for the rainbow along with you
Riding a cloud, and enjoying the view
Wrapped in your arms enjoying the embrace
Drinking through my eyes every inch of your face
And then when I’ll sleep with total release
Ultimately in you, I’ll find my peace!

Fake Friends…

I am not the one to do chit-chat, I like to do soulful talks
A stride or two is not for me, I’m a companion for those long walks
Friends for now and then forgotten, is not my cup of tea
A friend for me is a life-long thing, in times of need I don’t flee
When you shed tears a steady shoulder, is what you’ll find in me
A mirror to show you the truth always, an ear to listen I will be
When you feel tired from this tedious life, I’ll help you energize
When you feel lost and confused my friend, I’ll try to give an advice wise
Will try protect you against all vices and be your helping hand
Whenever you’ll need me close and near, I’ll be there even across lands
Friends to keep and friends to care, friends for me are life
Not just in times of cheer, I stay along even in your strife
Challenging the new age concept of what has started to be known as friendship
Fake talks, matter of convenience, but behind your back you get stripped
No that is not what friends should do, not that is not we deserve
Friends for life, friends to care, your heart with them should stay preserved
And those who hurt and are double-faced, and those who tell lies
Beware – for they can betray and from them you can get surprise!
Choose your friends wisely and if you feel you’ve been wronged
Learn to get away in time, don’t let them around you throng!

Still Close to Thee…!

In your eyes I saw the spark
In my heart you made a mark
Flutters of love in my heart you made
Your scent in me will never fade
Your voice so soothing made me yearn
Your love so enchanting I wanted to earn
In your embrace I found my peace
In my jigsaw you were the missing piece
With a smile so warm you welcomed me
Setting me free you let me be me
Listened to my childish banter
Filled me with wisdom like a mentor
You stayed along like a solid rock
Your presence in my life forever locked
Charmed by you I still feel blessed
With your magic I am still possessed
Stay where you are but remember me
Far from you, but still very close to thee!

Do Good Anyways…
They say – when nothing goes right, go leftBut what to do when even there you feel bereftThey say – do good and good will come back to youBut what to do when nothing as such holds trueThey say – God is there to see and set rightBut what to do when it seems that truth is out of even HIS sightThey say – every cloud has a silver liningBut what to do when fake is every light that is shiningThey say – kindness is a language which doesn’t need wordsBut what to do when it is trampled over and you’re declared a nerdIn such a time I am pretty sure you will feel like giving upThis world will seem a cruel place and you’ll find it tough to hold upYou’ll want to retire from one and all and be alone to patch upThe strewn pieces of your heart, so badly blown up!But even then with faith in your heart, as strong as steelStand firm on your goodness and don’t allow them to steal-– Your lasting courage and let your goodness reveal‘Coz ultimately IT IS goodness which will help you in your ordealSuch proverbs though loosely used and may seem unrealIn this strange world of today, goodness may seem surrealBut simplicity and genuineness how much ever ridiculedUltimately they win, and eventually they rule! -
Reminiscing…

And there I saw it again! The letter written by you to me
Though already read a thousand times, each word was as if new to see
Your perfect handwriting, your sensible choice of words
Your incomparable wisdom which I was drawn towards
It took me back in time and I found myself smiling
As I thought of you and our time, the memories started piling
Each one so crystal clear, till today I was surprised
Holding that precious paper in my hands, for long I stayed hypnotized
Before I could control, tears started to roll by
And when the present got clear around, I myself felt a bit shy
Hurriedly keeping you away, I tried to get back to now
Trying hard to ignore, the sharp pain I felt anyhow
The pain will subside the present will win, but I don’t know till when
You will come alive so vividly, just by looking at those words from your pen!

You and Me

There is no second to what you do, and how you care for me
There is no second to who you are – so thoughtful and trustworthy
There is no greater joy for me than to be along with you
There is no bigger happiness, than to do things along with you
There is so much comfort, when I have you there in life
There is a loving guidance from you, whenever I face a strife
There is so much symphony, in the way we together move
There is a melody unparallel, on which we together groove
No one can ever fill your shoes, or even come a close second
No one can warm my heart the way you do, I reckon
The friendship and the companionship that you provide to me
Help me grow, help me learn, and most importantly – help me to be me!
-
My wish upon the stars…
I make a wish upon the stars keeping you in mind
I pray earnestly to God, that every happiness you find
I wish good health for you, today and every day
May smiles fill your life, bliss reaches you like HIS ray
In all that you do, may you always be the best
Never in life I hope, you’re put to a harsh test
I remember you fondly, as I write all that’s above
How I wish I was close to you, to shower you with my love
Though away, but in my heart, you’ll always be with me
Though probably they’ll never reach you, my wishes will be sent for thee
Smiling as I think of you, I pray with all my true love
With a belief that HE will, make your happiness a hundred times above!

Cheers to Friendship!

If you have a friend who truly cares – then life becomes a bliss
Someone who watches over you – is there for you without a miss
Someone with whom you can talk – without any filters
Say how you feel, be who you are – without any twisters
If you have this friend with you – do all to keep him close
Show no ego, have no doubt – that you can live without his honest dose
There will be many who will say things – how you would want to hear
Then all you’ll want is this honest pal – somewhere very near
For eventhough you might believe – that the words could’ve been milder
But in your heart you know for sure – they were only to make you wiser
So let me repeat at the heavy cost – of boring repetition
To keep your honest friend with you – should be your ultimate mission
For life is a melody when you have a true friend around
So cheers to this loving relation of friendship abound

Keep Going with Faith!

Have faith my dear these times will pass
This test will further us enhance
Have faith my dear HE will not forsake us
Just keep the trust among this ongoing fuss
This tide is high and we might drown
If we don’t keep this faith and our strength abound
Testing times are these and in every way
But just keep going for there will be day
I know this is a turbulent flight
We got to hold on very tight
A little mistake might cost us dear
We might lose all, this is the fear
The darkest hour is one before dawn
Our deepest courage we need to tap upon
Just got to hold on and do our best
Upon HIS will, we should leave the rest
Sure I am that those who are righteous
Always see at the end brightness
So just keep yourself strong and your heart pious
Victory will appear which is currently sightless
Hand in hand, together we shall
Overcome challenges with high morale
Praying along for HIS blessings
We’ll wade across second by second
So keep up the faith, and keep your calm
We’ll walk this mile arm in arm
Don’t lose your smile and just remember
We have it in us to hold this ember!

Only Love is Real…

Only love is real, it is what makes our heart beats
It is what fuels us, never put it on backseat
Love deserves its special place in everybody’s life
For it sets heart on fire, yes, it makes us feel alive
Let it flow through you, let it warm your heart
Just give in to the amazing feeling, let love play its art
Not only for humans, love does it magic on all
For nature, pets, you name it – love might for anything befall
It consumes us totally, makes us nearly blind
But magically sometimes, a new us also we find
Make love help you grow, see the broader side of it
With love for those around, you can make everyone fit
Love is what’s needed in this world of today
Where hatred for each other, leaves no place for another ray
Let love rule our hearts, let love remove the jealousy
Let there be only compassion, with no place for treachery
Imagine what a world, it would be to live in
Where there’ll be no hatred, only bonhomie and grins
Towards that world, let love lead us to
Let love be our guide in whatever we do
Only love is real, yes truly it is
For it reaches where it should without any miss
Crossing oceans or lands, or even many lifetimes
It continues to spread warmth, until we hear its chimes!
