CALIFORNIA NIGHTS !

A night through your lens,

In the west coast state, 

Viewing the brisky crowd .

Searching life through the streets of California.

Would it be too rude to not view this ? 

I spurn to leave tonight!

Maybe million other nights would be same 

But not how it was today,

Today a new thought provoked 

So shall it be tomorrow 

Why waste it today then ?

If I could read what runs through the mind 

Of California nights….JUST FOR TODAY !!! 

For the power vested in me may not be there tomorrow 

Wouldn’t it be amusing ?

For us to read minds while we walk through the beaches,

With the tropical fragrance,

That seeps into our nostrils,

Which would be memorialized !

The brew of coffee that just invites.......

At the strange hour,

Collecting million hopes

Of just accomplishing one.

Would it be rude ignore the rest ?

Why don’t you tag along ?

As this night would not be the same ,

Even if you retraced,

As California nights are exceptional !

VEINS OF LEAF !

If only a leaf could describe 

Describe the the tranquility one feels

Describe how it is to have passion

Describe a creature way before 

Maybe with a mix of destiny

Holding and gazing through

The veins of the leaf I behold 

To deepen the horizon of uncertainty 

Of what life has to offer 

Oh man !!!

Can’t you see how deep the veins are?

Or you’re too farsighted?

Sadly !

You miss the feeling of what i encounter in the leaf!

But worry not,

As life as many other leaves to offer to show destiny far beyond, 

What I have felt!

So shall you feel and encounter!

The destiny you behold within the leaf you have experienced!

REFLECTION A MERE PERCEPTION......

Walls have heard way too much 

The past my world holds 

Possibly the reflection would help

To recognise how close it was….someday !

Those paths, those lanes, those nights 

Wouldn’t be the exact if the mirror helps

Wish it was but reflection is merely a perception 

Which strikes with reality…

Had I known, would have invented something materialistic to hold those….

But Again it is mere perception contrasting with reality…

Would it be different if the same occurred twice?

Retracing through the lens of past!

Maybe , maybe not !

I wish I had known earlier the truth…

Truth which is hidden !

Sadly a perception for me…

Tissues hold stories!!

Innocently sliding through the door of reality.

As the immortality…. exists even in memories !

OCEAN OF INSANITY !

How vast does it seem from here,

The ocean of insanity?

Keeping it under the capacity to perceive,

Here comes the breeze with a light drizzle,

Wondering how convivial it is...

I ought to look into it...

As answers for the questions haven't been answered enough!

Like how Rudbeckia appears in March !

Is there a stop to this insanity ?

Rather die than not having a rebut...

For those whose insanity keeps them alive 

Shall keep mine too in a parallel universe !

As much as the ocean has to provide.

For materiality is nothing but a sea 

Enclosed in an opinionated society.

Where insanity is considered lunatic,

Fragmented portions of sense builds sophisticated notions 

living through it builds independence...

Just as the drizzle vanished, 

Ripples remained a story....

Bringing in tranquility in the atmosphere

Along with some insanity 

For those who accepted it wide enough 

to experience, a new depth to the ocean we dive in....

May it bring some insanity,

To the city life as well,

But the desirability upholds in ocean 

Just as how it is boundless...

To be born in other world seems tiring,

Let alone filled with notions and barriers....

A small room for me to be insane in this huge society

By sound of the ocean !

Which would be immortal....

 

 

 

 

BEING ALIVE....... IN THOUGHTS !!!

Is it that hard to feel connected?

Being connected without a label,

As labels build boundaries !

A spark in me for you to see, is it that hard ?

Another set of rules being brought to us 

Will you ever justify them?

Not for you or me but for the connection!

A connection that we ought to build !!

Universe for you might not seem big

So does Connection ! 

Had it been big, would have treated well enough

To invite another universe to hold the value

and teach me much more than asked ! 

Hope sounds superficial to sustain it...

So don't even try, just give it time 

Nevertheless the excitement of life inviting something new is endless

for which profound happiness doesn't seek approval  

Unless you get connected....

As for me above the sky

strong allies are made 

with utmost enchantress 

so shall it be for you.....!

YOU WON'T LET ME FORGET YOU......WON'T YOU !!!

Didn’t want to write about you ,
But inner me just wanted to remember atleast by this 
Just next to me but yet you make me feel distant 
Can I just hold pause this moment and make it constant???
Sounds cringe!!!! As you would say !
Too bold to be true for you…
But nevertheless your place in my heart is special 
Had it been a dream , 
Would have never woken up!!!
But again it just remains a dream 
That too just for me !
As you won’t get reminded of me even in the slightest of your dreams 
Maybe not now , but another day , another life time ?
Dream and I wish to join that ,
Along with a million other dreams I had seen for us…..

THE CALL !

Think , think you are nearly there, 

Said a voice inside me!

Should I reciprocate to what I had been told to do?

or is it just a feeling?

Who is that ?

I am confused?

"Just keep going" 

 Said the voice again !

Keeping me optimistic in every possible way 

So upright I feel , when hearing this.

Amidst all this ,

I try figuring out what is this voice ?

"Intuition" said my heart !

Which has roles to play inside you !

Roles ?

I am confused !

Yes roles ! or lets say character !

It acts as your inner voice , companion 

and instincts 

and more to come , if you aren't at your best !

Only one thing is customary 

It comes into existence 

When you need it the most!

Why roles then ?

If it has a monotonous job to do !

Roles make an impact !

Which lasts longer !

Trust me , said the voice

Not assuring that the journey would be smooth.

It would be a commotion.

Priority lies in guiding you , said the voice.

And that will do in every step of your life , explicated the voice

It sounded comforting ,

Knowing that, I am secured mentally

Listening to this voice , gives a sense of achieving something

Indeed ,  it contains power !

power to persuade the world  to achieve something better.

UNIQUENESS LIES WITHIN!

 

  To do something very common in my own way,

  Has its own pleasure

  Which cannot be felt by all

  The uniqueness of ideas, which emerges within.

Being unique shows elegance 

Shows the wonderful personality one has ,

Where  a contrast is made between

ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY ,

To do something in own way 

Shows , the way we perceive things 

Shows the individuality which differs from others

At last , it shows that life has no limits of being extraordinary.

WAITING !

Waiting is all about being patient.

Being patient , to chase wild dreams

Being patient , to cross a difficult path

Being patient, to overcome the bridge of problems

Being patient, to portray the best in the world!

Being more patient , gives us the time 

The time to think for a while,

To analyse ,what is being around?

To not , Take hasty decisions

Which was been done for while!

Just go with the each passing day,

Being patient, that everything is going to be fine!

Just enjoy the new characters of life!

Which has a role to play too !

But is waiting , for the best to happen in life! 

Potential seems endless for everyone, 

But some potentials take longer time to portray the evergreen effect.

INTERESTS!

With the changing environment,

Our interest develops , 

Into varied things,

But, why does it always sound familiar?

It feels more like a routine,

Just with date changed!

Interests are really tricky,

It doesn't always fascinate us,

We try to find something new,

Putting our mind into so much pressure 

Just give it time ,

I would say!

Interest doesn't restrict 

till music, art , dance

it is means more than it,

take time for yourself 

to adapt to the dynamic environment

take interest into investing in yourself

walk on those soft, light green grasses

to feel the earth ,

in a different and surprising  way ,

let the thoughts flow into your mind

by just getting lost in some path,

let the dilemma stay,

stay a bit more,

to choose 

which path should I continue my journey?

as you cross the path , you meet people 

observe, how they live their life?

is it similar , to that of yours?

try having a conversation!

 

Ah! what an evening!

didn't you feel a change ?

change from within

a change which lead to discover

a part of you and a part of world?

but ,what is this part?

Oh ! didn't you know ?

it is a new interest, which you have found 

which you have to cultivate,

over a period of time!

MORNING DEW !

It is wonderful isn't it ?

The morning dew!

Such a joy it brings,

Just by looking at it!

A person visualises his own life

In those crystal clear droplets

Lying in the surface 

Of different florets

Alongside breathtaking pasture

Peace it brings ,

Along with hope ,

A new dawn arrives!

Not with expectations!

But a spirit full of life !

BOUNDARIES !

Boundaries are set for everything,

It is always materialistic.

Not cognitively,

One of them is imagination!

Is it just enough to cross the bridge?

Why can it  be beyond the bridge?

A path which leads to the lake

Why not sit for while, 

Take a breath?

Again , is it just enough to take a breath?

Why not let your feet have,

A time alone in the cold water?

What is the hurry?

Why not admire the scenic beauty?

Never know ! What tomorrow has kept for us! 

Oh! Too tired today?

Why? Did you not have a "Me time"?

Which you needed?

Imagination gives you endless opportunities!

Let it be taken as anything.

Until it has boundaries!

CURIOSITY!

They say "Curiosity kills  the cat".

I express curiosity as an explorer

With open ideas,

Eager to see the world around it.

"Living only once" is a gospel

 Which is hard  to accept!

Why is curiosity portrayed gloomy?

Why not see the other side?

Curiosity awakes a person,

From a sleep , from a world which was closed .

Curiosity is an inquisition

Which never concludes, surprisingly

Wake up people! 

Let's step into our new world,

Filled with mystery

Be curious !

Not to know ! To learn!

Memories are our closed world ,

Which hasn't been  opened

For years!

Explore , till you uncover the mystery

As that what means

Coming out of comfort.

Exploration is not a question.

It is a choice! 

RAYS OF SUNSHINE!

 

Rays of sunshine , showed the way

The way , for the start of summer.

Summer which creates a confusion!

As the days of summer are unpredictable.

Summer creates a joy in heats, for some 

For others a destruction

Tears of sweat , going through my veins

Sweat , for no reason, just by standing!

Walking bare feet in light green grass 

Feeling as light as a feather

Summer is not a season !

It is a journey !

A journey in which, 

There is new start everyday!

LITTLE SOULS.......REST IN PEACE.

Down in the dell, young faces buried

For no reason other than poverty.

Life is unpredictable ,

Especially for those who have young hearts and  innocent soul.

It is a loss not only for the family

Also For the future , For the nation !

Talents were ephemeral , So was life,

Working incipient for bread,

For educating their siblings with little feet

It is a woebegone period ! 

A period which should be evanescent ,

Suddenly the morning borne appears , 

As the coffin , buried plumbless .

Those blithe faces shall never been seen again !

Oh god ! Can't I just gambol this time ?

The death of the young is ineffable.

Oh god ! May they be in peace,

If not so when alive, at least in heaven !

Till the time we meet again,

With a world full of peace and bliss!
