Deep down in my heart,
I do cherish;
A story to start,
As my wish;
Dreamt of a fairyland,
Soft aromatic sand;
Saw a royal castle,
Carved out of ancient istle;
Ah! The Shimmering skyline,
With all the grace of divine;
Walked down the aisle,
He was standing at a mile;
As I approached to grab his hand,
It fell on the nearby night stand;
Oh! It was a dream……
And it collapsed…..
Can it be a reality? Perhaps,
Switched of my alarm,
Gathered my entire dream’s charm;
It just left a memory in my heart……
A memory in my heart…….

Beauty isn't just what is seen,
There's much more that makes a Queen.
With the utmost content and joy,
You can find it even in a small toy.
For a kind act can be beautiful,
And so is any deed that is merciful.
It's in a baby's cry and smile,
It's in the trouble that makes life worthwhile.
It's what you see with your eyes shut,
Something that still touches your heart but.
Its right when you haven't had a single touch,
A smile professes the love much.
It's when you don't get word to utter,
Beauty lies in the love of stutter.
It's in the every less hour you slept,
To hug your beloved while they wept.
It's in the cookies and muffins you still got,
Even when Mom had worked a lot.
It's in the air all around,
My dear, beauty is in every crazy swound.

It was the harvest time, and then the reaping came.
It was the trial time, and then the verdict came.
For everything that you brought to pass,
Will now be awarded back, oh but in a mighty glass.
Your demons that you thought you'd hid from all,
Would come crashing down and be the reason for your fall,
Had there been any good deeds than evil,
This wouldn't have been the time for your peril.
Must know that what you sow is what you reap,
That cost of the sins and blood is never oh too cheap.
After the reaping, you would get a second chance,
Make it worthy or shall it may too pass in a prance.
It was the reaping time, a new life is now gifted.
Make it good and loved, relinquish the sorrowful burden, be your soul lifted.
Verdict has passed, thus showed you a new light,
Its your will to either blow it off or make it more bright!!

Learn to let it go……
No matter how huge the fight is………
None can get away with this……
So, learn to let it go….
It might have broken your heart…….
It might have crushed your will…….
It might have torn you apart…..
It might have been shrill……
But learn to let it go……..
Frustration, anger and fear……
And Burden of all these……why to bear??
This life is a gift from God
This body is a gift from God
Hurting yourself and spoiling lives……
Is a sin committed against God……..
So what someone told a lie?
So what you failed?
Make yourself so strong that nothing can make you cry……..
Put yourself together so that once more you don’t get betrayed……
And learn to let it go……
Be calm and feel the snow……..
Once my friend said……….
“to rise above all this”
As there is no gain in pulling the old thread……..
Those words worked as bliss…..
And I guess, then I learnt to let all that  go………

A twist, that life took
A turn, that life shook
Made it into this havoc
In a way it was a fun lock
The jungle of buildings grew near me
Just a part of this wildlife would I be?
Drops of condensation slide through the temple
And I became just another corporate sample
Do i still have a choice? Can I still choose?
But the other option might set my career loose
See-saw of this dilemma, sunkens deeper and deeper
Since none of the things are getting any cheaper
What I want to see, what I want to taste
Has no meaning now and it is all a waste
I need a push, I need a Boost
It has to be self, thereafter will ripe the fruit
Moving on is the only option, at right time
Pave the path of the will and I will shine
My dilemma would surely end
I have a belief, I will pass this bend
That day is not far
When I will cross that bar
That day I will show my choice to the world
And everythng would be just clear and not blurred
I do believe that would come
And then I will cease to run!

Perception, though is a tad complex
It makes you selfish and selfless
The side you choose, the path you take
Everything comes down to the perception you make

We look for perfection outside,
Don't strive for it inside,
He should have been a certain way
But refuse changing own self every day
How to get around
How to skip the crazy swound
Perhaps be the best you can
For you can't control any other man
There's a bigger maths in place
Its known who does hold the mace
See the bigger picture
Everything along the way is a mere fixture
Its for us to decide the priorities
Love respect or insta stories
What would matter in the long run
Because what's done can't be undone
Though can be changed
But leaving it chained
Would it ever go back to the same?
Can it ever be the same?
Perhaps, perhaps not
You'll try because why not?

Perception, though is a tad complex
It makes you selfish and selfless
The side you choose, the path you take
Everything comes down to the perception you make

To rise like a phoenix we must burn first,
Hold the grail, kiss it and quench the thirst.
For all that is mighty and Royal today, be once all dirt must,
You are the flame, darling, you are the demon and the angel, but just.
Be the icarus and dont rest till the sun turns you to dust,
And then again rise like a phoenix, but lets burn first.

Societal elements will tell you whom to trust,
And whom not to but ask yourself first.
For the ancient opinions have nothing but rust,
Be benevolent being, and be just.
Then and only then would they follow you with gust,
Love is the key, remember and not the lust.
And if need be, kneel and bow down if you must,
And then again rise like a phoenix, but lets burn first.

Laid down your head
On the way to dreams
About that book I read
Was the first it seems,

Yes, she was there
It took me back back
When we were there
Like a movie white and black,

Has it ever happened to you??
Whom did you say this to??

Saw a hut in the forest
In the middle of a lake
Like an island set
It was a perfect take
Oh the picture so good
While sitting under hood
There was a shout
Bang bang bang
Something fell right out
Bang bang bang
They saw each other
Just for a second
Bang bang bang
Eyes opened at once
Thus, the dream ends
Both woke up together
Though away a thousand miles
They knew it was better
With all the smiles
Said hello to a new day
And glowed like bay of the hay!

Has it ever happened to you??
Whom did you say this to??

What's inevitable shall come to pass,
Go back, rewind rewind rewind
But, what's inevitable shall come to pass!

Picked up that call,
Went for the troll,
Never saw the car,
You thought was far,
Go back rewind rewind rewind
But, what's inevitable shall come to pass!

Moved out, moved abroad,
You didn't get the call,
Can now just nod,
For she had a terrible fall,
Go back rewind rewind rewind
But, what's inevitable shall come to pass!

Debit credit debit credit,
All the while,
Monet on her mind
All the colours she didn't find,
Go back rewind rewind rewind
But, what's inevitable shall come to pass

Red orange yellow and pink
Bride bride Groom Groom
Let the new now sink
Unsaid dreams though in gloom
Go back rewind rewind rewind
But, what's inevitable shall come to pass

Go back, rewind rewind rewind
To the beginning, change it,
The tiniest of them all, hit it,
Go back rewind rewind rewind,
Maybe just maybe,
What's inevitable might not come to pass!!

Though the same land,
Worlds apart by the Wall.
One side knows no ail
Other side knows no avail

How much difference can a wall make
I wondered, evidently a lot
Let that sturdy ground shake
For the riches need to be re-sort
A semiclothed beggar sleeps on one end
And a lady in fur sips wine on the other bend

No water no food no clothes outside
No pain no struggle no sunburn inside
Who made the decision, who gets what?
Probably the education which definitely seems must.
Maybe the literacy spreads to each corner soon
And both ends look same from the moon.

Though the same land,
Worlds apart by the Wall.
One side knows no ail
Other side knows no avail

Little as a girl
All that she knew
The warm wind that blew
And the arms of her daddy
Wrapped her in
From fields of paddy
There came a breeze
Made everything to seize
There came a little boy
Took his sister, wished her happiness
And gifted the toy.
With memories of love
She stepped into the youth
Flying like a dove
Like any other girl
Prince charming ruled her dreams…..
Wearing a silk of sheen
Wanted to b his angel…
She dressed at her best….
And this is the rest….
Handsome lad came by..
Saw the girl, mesmerized.
But was too shy
Girl saw the prince, dazzled..
Eyes got shimmered……
He held her hand....
Pulled her close
And these words he chose..
“You are my angel, you are the one;
You are my love and the only one;
Accept my heart, be with me;
I’ll be the reason for your joy,  as much I could be
I love you, I adore you…. You are special…
You are my angel, be with me….”
tears from eye,
Rolled through her white cheeks…
Boy catches the pearl and speaks
“ I wuld never let you weep….
That your tears make me weak.
I see a family in you
That I never had…
Take me I beg you
I promise you all my love”
Girl, into his charm…
Thought it as a dream
Pinched the arm…
Came a joyful scream..
“You are my prince…. You are the one..
I was afraid…
I was sad….
To knw all the bad
That existed in this world
They said true love is no more….
No one would ever love you from core…
But you made my heart pound…..
Oh I love I too…..”
And there came the sound…..
She continued……..
“my dad has given me all the joy….
My brother has bring me pride…
I love them more and I love them first…….
I am my dad’s doll….
My brother’s princess….
Can you give me all that love????”
Boy held her face in his hands…….
“ doll for your dad you are……
Princess for your brother you are
I’ll make you queen of my heart……
You are my angel, you are the one…..
You are my love, you are the only one…..”
Girl fell in his arms……
Stars seemed bright….
Wind tangled her hair light,
She accepted his heart….
And this is they got a start……..
Next day,
Girl went to the church…..
Thanked the god through and through
That god has made her wish come true……
Every girl has a wish…..
Not the diamonds ….
Not the palace……
But a loving heart……
Where
Absence of her dad
Doesn’t make her mad
Where
She feels protected and safe…..
That beautiful sage….
Luckiest was the girl…..
She truly found that pearl
That kept shining
Seeing her smiling….
He kept his promise……
Never did he let her cry
And always stood by
She was his queen,
She was his angel……
She was the one…
She was his love……..
And the only one………………
