Reflection

The faded mirror, the impure water

Do not reflect our true apparition 

Inner dwelling when calm and clear

Reflects back our best version 

Uncluttered, undisputed mind space 

Energises the spark lost in the haze

Lightly floating through the maze

Creativity wakes up from it’s daze

As we rekindle the flame together 

The fiery soul glows brighter

The reconnect is always deeper 

Finding solace in each other 

The fog makes way for reflection 

Well ruminated thoughts unify as one

To show the path of self reincarnation 

Revealing evolution is so much fun

The bends of metamorphosis verse

Distress on one side of the bell curve

Euphoria awaits beyond the tip of worst

Reinvented self slides down the curve 

Silence of the Storm

Prelude: This was written 2 months back, but couldn’t post then 😊

Silence of the Storm 

Silence is no more golden 

Perspective is lost and rotten 

The heart flutters 

The soul shudders

As the thoughts pour in

I can’t help wondering 

Why silence is misunderstood 

Dissected eventually not for good!

Feelings are hardly voiced

With the right words and poise

But the world is disposed 

To be a judgemental host

Wish we could retain the eyes

Of the little child within us!

Reaching out to the little child within each of us

Reaching out to reclaim humanity from the dust!

Pearls of Life

I do surprise myself

As I uncover the layers 

To discover new pearls

And find strength that overpowers

Will power gearing up in it’s flutters 

Lessons trapped behind shutters 

Defining me for better or worse

Pearls - Blessing or a curse!

Come upon wounds that I nurse

Joy that seeps though the curves

Peace playing blindman’s buff

Time whispers in a soft buzz

Pearls - Blessing or a curse!

I choose to pick up the pieces

Embrace all the changes

And enjoy life’s enigmatic company!

I am Liberated!

Free from the clutches of time
Free from the nudges of love
Free from the grudges of heart
Free from the critics of mind

The irony is

This spirited soul is

Entrapped in it’s own vastness
Lost in it’s own emptiness
Hiding in it’s own darkness
Drifting in it’s own wilderness

Yes, this soul is liberated from one moment

To be engulfed into the destiny of another

Moments that touch me and retreat

Like the waves on my feet
Like the music created in every beat
Like the stars shining down to greet

Each moment seeks acceptance in my core

Gelling in with the inner calmness and uproar

Moments trapped in a vicious circle
Etched as memory happy or dull
Some might turn out to be eternal
As they live through time immortal

I am in pursuit of creating such moments

Existence glorified by finding purpose of life!

 

Tryst with Destiny

Prelude: This piece was written more than 2 years back when I realized that I was done accepting and was trying to deny or defy or rather define my destiny. I am still at the same crossroads!

Only the cover has changed, book remains the same. Hope I will be able to muster the courage to edit a few chapters soon….  

Tryst with Destiny

There are times……

Testing trying hard
On the face……. Apparently…….

They hold my hand

And lead me steadily

Discovering a secret passage

As I take a deeper dive
Into the whirlpool of unsettled rage
To find the answers of my life

Whether this will satisfy my quest

Or increase the unrest
Only time can tell best

Whether it is a risk I should take

Is a choice that I am yet to make!!

Cosmic Realisations

A part of me is lost
With every lesson learnt

A part of me is eroded

With every splash of time

A part of me goes numb

With the realization of every firm resolution

But a part of me still cries out

For the bits forgotten in eternity
Gathering what's left behind
Trying to identify the better version of mine!

Better….. is it?

Then why do I miss

The Spontaneity & Fieriness

Why does my soul ache

For the spirit that refused to burn out

Are the lessons of life

Really worth such a big stake?

I refuse to give myself up

In bits and pieces
I want to go after the ones
Buried under the sands of time

Hold myself up

Put the pieces together
Shape myself back
To the Beautiful Original form!

In the selfish attempt to avoid guilt pangs

I refrained from hurting others
But I forgot to be good to myself
Failed miserably to take care of myself

Oh! The little voice in my head

I know you from eternity
I have leaned on you all this while
Now is the time to give you back
The Friend with whom you started this Journey of Life!

We will not lose our blossoms to the Winds of Time!

Comeback!

Comeback in 2019....took 10 years!

 

Intend to stay for a while....hope that means till I die 😊

Raising a toast to loads of writing.....
