Even this shall pass

It is such a lovely time

That I am with your smile

back from the self-imposed exile!

Where do I lose myself

when I find myself so lost,

Forgetting you in the present

Living with you from the past!

It is a parable, I need to solve,

This phase will also pass,

It is all that I know, now

Until then let me see you smile

And know that I am all yours!

If I were..

If I were a flower then you'd be

The sweet nectar within my heart.

If I were the raindrop then you'd be

The blissful witness-my charm.

If I were a smile then you'd be

The warmth within the heart.

If I were with you then you'd be

The world that you mean to me now!

Blossoming in love..

In love blossoms service,
In service blossoms devotion;
Devoted in service to love itself!

When love doesn't care to ask,
Love begets love unasked,
What joy!What bliss begotten to bask!

I love you with strength;
Found in my own,from you
To bask in a task,you cared to ask!

A thirst unknown..

With a thirst to quench, I ventured
Into many a field unknown;
Wanting to soothe my parched soul,
I searched for a drop of life
That I could call my own!

Waiting in many a land
For a time so unmeasured,
I grew so wanting for more;
Taking the least from myself,
I still craved for the unknown!

Finding a stream, I found my dawn
In the awakening of a realization.
It was in my thirst that I found,
A reason for my find,
Now, that I had so beautifully got!

As it was in my thirst that I found,
It was in my finding that I felt
An immeasurable thirst unknown.
What miracle of nature could quench
My thirst is a saga untold!

Through the smile of a beloved
I realize all my dreams!
Quenching the thirst of my soul,
Now, I crave for even more;
For the joy that may fill her soul!

Together always we will be..

Yet another flowing from Sibani's pen...

it's a song of the broken heart, wants him to come back but c the pain the beloved's goin thru... love hurts.. it does.. i 've made the tune for it... but love only hurts when u expect.. so jus love without any conditions!!!

my life never ever was,
the way i wanted it to be..
i could never be the person u wanted me to b...
i am lost, am deserted by myself today,
i don't know where i could go, leaving no trace.....

this time never ever had , come my way..
i could never ever feel, this helpless way...
feel its gone, my love, my everything u were..
i don't cry. coz my tears 've gone far away..

my silence now speaks the words which no one can hear
my dreams now, show me the future that is bare....
i am just thinking where i jus went wrong..
oh i wish! i hope u were never gone..

why do i feel this way tell me please!
don't let me loose my self's peace..
i need u come back to me..
just this once, n i promise.. together always we will be!!!

To watch my Angel sleep

Your beautiful eyelids closed

Soft against each other,

Your sincere heart beating

Against your tired soul;

Whispering for Her presence,

You sleep like a child

Tired of its pranks.


How I'd love to see you then,

Hidden away from your heart-capturing gaze,

Safe from your intoxicating voice!

I'd love to watch you-My Angel, sleep.

Only to realize that

Still so charming, so beautiful;

My soul still lost in your love!

The Sun and the Moon

When the sun as still shining,

The moon crept across the horizon.

The moon said,'Your time is up,

Now I will shine!'.


The sun departed with just a smile.


Morning came with the sun shining bright,

Spreading for its own,its light.

The moon,crestfallen, asked,'Why?'



The sun simply said,'Because, now it's my time.

Moreover,even you looked bright

Under my borrowed light!'.

Self-Inflicted Sadness

“And though in your winter you deny your spring. Yet spring reposing within you, smiles in her drowsiness and is not offended.”
-Kahlil Gibran

Often I have been through a phase wherein sadness fills my very soul with its singsong; Seeming never to stop, yet engulfing itself, on its own.
That’s when I wonder, what it is in us that loves the sadness and solitude?
There are times I simply make up my mind to go on an emotional rollercoaster ride. For that matter, most of us have been through that phase in our daily lives when we involuntarily start feeling low with no apparent reason to state. That is when we feel like doing nothing and we seek refuge in solitude.
In such times, I personally have noticed that the happiness within us is just a smile away, yet it becomes such a pain to smile then. It all seems as if we have given up on our share of happiness for this lifetime!

But then, it’s just a mater of a few seconds before we are out of the shell. It’s as if happiness was building up within us in that defined period and finally our sadness has given way to the happiness within.
As far as I understand myself, I can see that it is very intrinsic of us as humans to be happy. But, then somewhere down the line as we grow up we give up on the happiness, little by little. Our happiness becomes indirectly proportional to the amount of success that we achieve in life!
I find this very strange, though. I believe, there’s more we could do for ourselves to brighten up our little own worlds.
Someone got it right when she said,
“A Smile is the shortest distance between two human beings.”
I’d rather put it as,
"Smile is the shortest distance between you and your happiness!”
Keep smiling, all you out there.
That does a lot better to this sick world than the false face that we put on for others!

Unshackled !

This poem is a translation of the ealier posted entry....

Thank you Sweeti for inspiring me to write this poem.

Unshackled

Let me not bind nor imprison,
any relationship.
Let her fly, let her go...
wherever she chooses to.

Who am I to ask?
Who am I to bind her
in shackles that I've made?
Even I am bound by some
Shackles unknown!

Who am I to enchain
Anyone else with bonds
that I have created;
Who Am I,
to hold back those
who are bound by shackles of their own!

Rishtey !

I have found to my utter surprise that sometimes I've been connected to people in the strangest of manners.Be it music,I find someone humming a particular song only to realize that it's the same one that I began humming a few seconds ago!
The same is the case with words....
This is a poem that flowed impromptu during a conversation with Tanvi.
This poem is hers as much it is mine....


Mujhe nahi rakhna kisi bandhan mien;
kisi bhi rishte ko
Udne do unhe......jane do unhe jis disha jis jagah
janaa chahate hai vo..

Hum hai kaun jo punchche....
Hum hai kaun jo bandhe
inhe aapni kisi dor se,
Aakhir hum bhi kissi dor me bandhe hai...
Hum hai kaun,kisi aur ko apne dor me bandhne wale...
vohi log jo apne hi kisi dor me bandhe hai!
