Loneliness

Choking into the breaths of others,

the world is an overly crowded prison.

Here each man is a rat, running on baits,

leaving behind no trail.

And as they say, the time repays

when none can escape the gray.

Possessions are lost and love is gone

All that resides is the loneliness.

Great Brother

To protect a gentle dream from the harsh world

there is always a man to rely on,

one man who stands by at difficult times

even when darkness is all you see.

He rides all along, like a father,

escorting from every rough phase

and he promises to be the one

who will never decline to be that man.

Relationships

Travelling down the moments of life -

the time when love’s in abundance and

colors in shine, when hands are tied

into relationships – soft and subtle

threads composing the symphony of life.

The ocean of ordeals seems benign

when I feel a hand on my head,

see another feet beside me,

when words are not mere mundane letters

but hearts speaking out.

Embrace Girl Child with Open Arms

Standing at one of the corner of the house

with a smile, light and assuring,

She watches your whole being

With her protective sight and

Nurtures slightest of the moments

 with the utmost care.

The past dwelled into her, present rests in her

 She is the life of the future-

The mother,

The daughter,

 The giver.

My Brother - Light of My Life.avi

My Great Brother

Wondering how things would have been

without your hands to back me up

and without your words to light me up.

The times when you committed

your breaths to me, it’s my treasure.

The times when you left

your comforts for me, it’s my fortune.

A true savior and a true hero,

a soul, selfless and a man divine.

I can’t pay a great tribute but

all I can do is worship you along

for if I see God, it resides in you.

Don't You Wish Me - Asks a Girl Child

I dreamt about my own little place

inside your selfish world-

I created life and I nurtured it,

I pledged to devote my heart

to your beats.

I loved every form of your existence,

watching you close, caring for you.

I even reached the acme of perfection,

became the moment of your pride.

But then someone swallowed it – the dream!

It was gone, so was I.

Why could not I live the dream?

Why could not I live?

Look me in the eyes and hold the sight,

Don’t you wish me too?

Me- the mother, the daughter, the giver.
