While I am busy rigging life
In many different ways
In the backdrop it secretly
Plays its own game

When I get a chance to live
I waste it all exploring the term
Only when it’s on the brink
I realize its importance

I should have done this and that
Is what all I am left with in the end
Fettered with austerity and apathy
With self I could never befriend

One day I will die
Leaving everything behind
So with god gifted eyes
I don’t want to turn blind

That’s why I assimilate
Adulating life is dearest
So, I decided to try
Love life regardless

I will try and erase every “wish”
Turn most of them into reality
If not at the grand level
Whatever at least is in my authority

Gift of health and peace of mind
Are the best one can receive
Thanks to God for the irreplaceable gifts
It’s just you and in you my belief

Bharti

I am looking in the mirror tirelessly you know
As it is mirroring you from tip to toe
It is taking much time to dress
As I am wearing your interests

But in the end I look eyeful

Bharti

Thanks for showing me the mirror
Where it is written a-loof
But I am just emotional not a-fool

Bharti

Our planet is like
A spec of dirt in the space
Our ego bigger than the space
In the human race

We call ourselves
**** sapiens, the wisest race
Still we fight bitter than animals
Dismissing the nature's grace

Of being unique.

You die; I die
You live; I live
You laugh; I laugh
You cry; I cry
You hate; I wait
Till late
Because
Love is not
Always
About a tie!

Bharti

Through the day
I think about you
Each time you
Make me feel new
Remarkable,
That indelible musky waft
Your face like a handcraft
My solitary moments
Often confined in spur
Every now and then
I find myself
Admiring your picture
Always,
You play on my mind
Now I know
Why people say
"Love is blind"

Bharti

I am both black and white
Whichever is visible to your sight

I am both sane and insane
Whichever tickles your brain

I am both good and evil soul
Whichever you like to unfold

I am both fact and figment
Whichever is you intent

I am both creature and substance
Whichever you call into existence

I am your mirror
Your true color

Bharti

To me, you are like a fresh pearl
Found in the deepest bed of ocean
I need to dive in to find that portion
But
I don't know how to dive
Still
Waiting at the brink
For the ocean to dry
So that
Pearl is visible to my eyes
And
I could behold its beauty!

Bharti

On you
When I ruminate
I pulsate
Can you hear?
That pulsing throb
Peace of my share
That you robbed
Oh no dear!
You just don’t
Else, you wont
Plunder peace
With your charm
Tantalizing me
To be in your arms

I know I know
Its my figment
As of now
But I wish to
Feel it live
Every night
I resolute
Next day
Will surly
Spurt out
Probably
It plants
In your heart
That love sprout

Till I muster
The courage
To express
I will
Just wait
And ruminate
On you!
Because it unwinds
My locked smile

*Bharti

If mind is let too loose
It goes for a wild goose chase
If it is held too tight
Its ability is smothered in this case
Holding it still while thinking
Retains its natural pace

One must be right first to see what is wrong
One must understand wrong to be right
To know the nature of things really as they are
Contemplate on each thought without bar
To develop wisdom this becomes the road
Concept of singularity cloaks mind's door
If things are just one way
Wisdom is not required to weigh
Think 'just enough' to know what truth is
Hold thoughts momentarily and then release
Hold, but not cling as impermanent is everything

If someone is
Beyond your ken
Should you bother?
No, I think not
Because
Something unique
Everyone has got
Humans can never
Be fully mature
To judge another
With conjecture

When your grey is marooned
Life seems like a goon
Pliability is cached somewhere
Boldness becomes a tough affair

Brooding over roughs
Becomes the way of life
Seething over pain
Is all you think is fine

Strong mind becomes
So fragile and meek
Constant approval always
Is then what you seek

Yes, yes, you are
B
      R
            O
                   K
                         E
                                                     N from within
But do you realize
Only a broke knows
Value of everything

So unleash the pain
In one go and just holler
Remember, every holler
Makes you stronger

Once your anguish
Is washed out in tears
Your vision to foresee
Future becomes clear

Say cheers to life!

If you were gravity
I were substance of all
Then, in every form
I would freely fall
For you
Why even imagine
That fall is still true

Bharti

Work is worship, since childhood
Is the lesson ingrained in my brain
When I am at work today
I found that lesson vain

Actually, it’s what kind of mentor you get
For he is responsible for all you feel
He can shape your day into a boon
Or push it into an absolute reel

Commonly, all shirks are crowned
Mostly, all wise are push aside
People do it all to be there
To become the apple of their eyes

I strongly feel at work
Your work should be your face
Deserve before you demand
Claim what is yours with grace

I lived by this principle till date
That’s why raise came to me very late
At the end of the day I am content
For work is to live; it’s not all your fate

Amongst good, better, best
In pursuit of the last
Mind and heart wanders
'Oh I wish....'
Is we live by then
When better is agreed
Before the best occurs!

Bharti

Sometime ago
I went to him for relief
What I came back with
Was an additional belief
Unaware of the profound impact
Ignorant of the impending fact
That somebody would change
The course of my thoughts
He will become the ocean
My thoughts, the river
As destined
Submerging in the ocean
Is the river’s final run
And that additional belief
Of loosing is an absolute fun

Bharti

during the day
my shadow
walks behind me
that I can't see
in the inky night
my unseen
comes to be

in the light
what I hide
from all to see
in the dark
comes alive
in words
to form
my midnight poetry

'I am different', all think the same
'I am unique', this notion hackneyed

Mostly I smile
Sometimes I wail

Mostly I care
Sometimes don't share

Mostly feel adored
Sometimes ignored

Mostly overjoyed
Sometimes annoyed

Cheers or tears

One thing is certainly true
Any which way I think of you

Bharti

Yesterday, less was more and merry
Today, more is less and dreary
Tomorrow, happiness will be history

I cry oceans full
Do you care?
I die thousand times
For that glare
Thoughts are broken
Lost that flair
Shattered into shards
Can you repair?
Cloudy monster
Played on mind
Needed an angel
To unwind
Since angels
Are rare to find
Did it all by myself
Unfolded the blind!

effortless is
thinking ill
thinking good
requires will
when baffled
best is
to bring
all thoughts
to still

I always think why

sometimes we see light in the darkness
but
sometimes find darkness in the light

sometimes we say right is not doing wrong
but
sometimes we feel doing wrong is our right

sometimes we play safe avoiding risks
but
sometimes we take risks in a stride

sometimes we think world is a mystery
but
sometimes we realise world is what is in the sight

sometimes we swoon over little emotions
but
sometimes we are indifferent to the plights

sometimes we are full of ourselves
but
sometimes we feel empty from inside

all our lives we face instability in feelings & thoughts
but
question why stability in the world is a fight

One smile it takes to cloak it all
One smile for all to reveal
But, it all depends on
"What's the Deal?"

Bharti

When heart and mind close
And everything blows
Just a prayer
With tears in eyes
Calling for god
Helps you rise

*Bharti

Nowadays everywhere
Amid the boast of confidence
No volunteers for "nothing"
Unaware
Confidence radiates silently
It needs no puffing

Don't be "full" of yourself
As "empty" is "full" of "air"

Don't throw your "weight" around
As "hollow" is "light" in "weight"

Sometimes I wish to write
But unsure what to pen
Sometimes I know what to write
But unsure how to pen
I guess, it's all impromptu
At the right time one knows
What to write and when
