Sonal's Poems

In this space, I write not to explain life, but to explore it. Pause with me, linger between the lines, and perhaps you’ll discover a piece of your own story here too. 🙂

  • 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! 

  • YOU, My Sai…!

    Sai

    Throughout the night, and throughout the day

    I can talk to YOU, if I have my say

    Where-ever I go, whichever way

    YOUR face I want to see, if I may

    Each breath that I take, consciously or not so much

    Want to think of YOU, if I’m allowed as such

    With every heartbeat reverberating within me

    I want to soak myself in YOUR divinity

    With every word that I know or have ever learnt

    I want to talk to YOU, even if this tongue is burnt

    No moment of this life is worthwhile 

    If YOU haven’t looked at me and smiled

    No one can ever be what YOU are

    My father, my guru, my Baba – you’re near, even when far…!

    Love YOU so much that it makes me cry

    With YOUR name I want to be identified

    For YOUR association I want to apply

    For every inch closer to YOU, I want to try

    No one for me to offer the solace

    Which YOU provide through YOUR miraculous ways

    From dawn to dusk, with each breath that I take

    I want to live for YOUR name’s sake

    With a wish in me to meet YOU at the end

    I’ll happily face all the challenges that this life will send!
