Four Walls - 2


Trapped in the labyrinth of life,
Looking for a way out of the mess,
The heart silently beats away,
The mind seems calm, at rest.

As my temple touches my knees,
Tears roll down my cheeks,
My being cringes at the thought of another war,
My mind is relentless, the heart meek.

Another challenge of life seems near,
All the energy ebbs out, drains me,
A warrior without a sword, I walk on,
I just need to be!

But how long can I face this monstrosity?
How much will I have to suffer?
How will I gather my strength?
Will I make it? Will I survive?

Things that are wrong, things that pull me down?
The strength of will or the strength of might?
Trudging on to make my life....
The force of dark or the force of right?

No answers seem to come to mind,
As I trudge along the solitary way,
Not even a Solitary Reaper,
Whose song would make my day!

Well, as days go by, I surely will,
Find a way to make the way uphill,
I will plant the flag of honor up high,
The road is a long one still!

I sat there, muzzled by the four walls around me,
Loneliness personified before me,
I gaze into the silverness on the wall,
I see a lonely face, fighting back sadness with a smile.

The smile was what keeps me up and on,
The smile is what takes me on a new journey,
Everlasting joy!
I know! I am trudging on eggshells!
I know I will fall! Yet, like the Phoenix, I will rise!

Prem ka Intekal

Uski nazrein to kahin aur hai Ab hamara dard unko kya dikhega Mar bhi jayein hum agar Kafan bhi na odhane vo ayega Chalo ab ye gum bhi seh lete hain Zindagi ko vida kar chalte hai In aankhon ne dekha hai Tadap teri us insaan ke liye Kar nahi paaya mai kuchh teri qasam Dil ke haathon majboor the kiye Chale jaana chahtey they tumse door is kadar Ke nafrat me tum dekh , mujhe yaad na karo Kambhakkt yadein itni taazi hain aaj Tere har ghav ki, Pyaar me bas pagal hun,rahunga. Mit jaun aaj mai is qadar is dunuya se Koi hai nahi mera tere siva Tujhe to chahiye us bewafa ka saath Meraa pyaar kahaaan padega poora Faaslon ne mujhe har waqt tadpaaya Khush rehna tum oh meri jaan Teri yaadon me manzoor nahi rona Mil jaaon mai mitti me, qabar ho ya masaan

In Pursuit of Happiness

As we march on in this world, the pursuit of happiness has always been at the heart of everything we do. We chase the ice cream man through the streets, after having begged for some money to enjoy the ice lolly. Pure Joy! Or the elation as the birthday draws closer, new clothes, gifts and much more. Did I forget, cake? Ahh… Heaven! Our pursuit of happiness has been tied to basically everything under the sun, except the one thing that matters most. Discontent, fear and loneliness continue to bare their fangs inspite of everything around us being calm and bright.   What then stops us from achieving the eternal bliss that eludes us every time we reach it? Is it the deep rooted fear of losing it? Is it plain selfishness and desire? Or is it what the priests, swamis, and gurus say, the unsatiated thirst for more? Is there all that is to it? I am enamoured by the story of the musk deer. I am sure that it is an oft heard story and one which has more to offer than all wisdom...

In Retrospect

So much to say, no words today What can i do, my life just gray Wanted to paint the rainbows of life Turned to see, my heart in strife. Where do I go? Where shall I hide? My eyes well up at the thought in tides! What answer does my heart seek in its grief His love made me full in this time brief.. He has no answers to what my mind asks The heart in his love wants to bask Little does he know, what my life has been It has plunged into murk from all the sheen I wish today in tears for two hearts, I would have still danced to Mozart But God decided to give me just one He sits high up there, has fun. His words pierce like dagger through the soul Like feet on a stony path, in a ragged sole Praying for his love shield, I cried, I begged I knew, this path only to my grave led. Heart writhing in pain doesnt speak Just lets out a little squeak All is well I say to the broken pieces This is all the work of Iblees That day will come, when he will the exp...
