To God

If you are in the sky...look at me

So feeble so helpless you have made me

But still I worship you

Try not to make you prove wrong

They say all your plans are perfect

Then why you need so much time

To tell me whatever you have planned for me was right

But I want to raise a question

Dear God ...do you know the plight of being a human ?

Are we just a sport for you ?

If you are kind to everyone on this planet

Then why the innocents suffer so much

Why so much hatred and malice among humans

If you are the great creator why your creations so ugly

Why the poor cry and the sick die everyday

Still you remain the only hope that lightens the weaker minds

It is the faith that holds the strings attached

And we keep on dragging and pulling life

Until we end up somewhere....

Life

Sometimes heart fails to pick up alphabets

Drowned in a sea of untamed musings

Floating in a world of monochrome magic

Eyes can't differentiate light from darkness

Lips try to sing a tune of melody but remains unheard

Sometimes you fail to understand what is true and what not

Until life knocks you down to have some bitter taste

Whatever appeals to the eyes may be harmful to mind and body

But without a battle fought inside this can't be realised

Sometimes life seems to be caged in dilemmas

A series of unsolved mysteries

A battle without sound and strife

As humans we are to suffer

As we suffer, we learn

Learning that strengthens our steps

Lessons learnt scars earned

But the path no more remains blur...

 Locked Indoors

Locked indoors...

Solitude has lost it's old charm

Silence getting louder on empty streets

The music of speech is hard to find

Where is the rhythm and rhyme !

The air is still but not silent

Telling something to everyone

Be yourself..feel good about yourself

Don't stand apart from your surrounding

Unaware of the chaos that the world is in

Sweet cool breeze sways with the fragrance of spring

Fluttering of leaves, chirping of birds

Humming of bee, dry leaves falling from tree

Everything so dear to me !

Still a sense of ennui prevails

Nothing much to spice up

In a truly felt absence

I yearn for the presence

Of some footsteps...some chatter

Some giggling or some whisper...
