life is like
when you're
a little kid
and you
discover that
there is more
than twenty-four
crayons in the box
that there is
the possibility
of forty-eight colors
of sixty-four
of one-hundred and twenty
that there are
so many shades
of love and anger and peace and despair
and absolute bliss
and the ability
to express them all
are now
in the palm
of your hand

life is
colorful
beautiful
thought-provoking
lovely
soulful
heartbreak­ing
inspiring
and absolutely wonderful

every day is
a new sunrise
a new chance
to transform into
the butterfly you
want to be

go out there
and change the world, kid
Olive tree standing tall on mountains top high.
Branches moving graciously
in the wind.
Little green leaves shimmering like emerald greens under the sun.
Then came a storm out of nowhere
everywhere flooded
Like Noah’s day.
Born was a sea above the land.
Olive tree hit rock bottom.
Still standing tall.
Branches still graciously moving
on the beat of turbulent waves.
Emerald green leaves now with silvery shine.

The branches of an olive tree are strong
Always moving, bending.
Resilient.
Never breaking.

Be like an olive tree
on the top of the mountain
or under the sea.

Let nothing break you. When down, you  bounce back. Keep your faith.
She smiled through sunrise.
And adore around the atmosphere
Distance reveals a deeper love.
In the sunset and midnight
Your love yelled at my heart!
Amidst the sunrise, I awake.
She is an angel that I see around the love angle.
Please believe me
I tried everything
to ease the pain
nothing worked

I know the dog
loved life and he
would be angry at
me for doing this

If he was standing
at the end of the
ladder right now
barking up me,
The old self within me
is insistent and demanding:
it sets my every boundary
and dictates my way of living-

I've struggled for so long
its obstinacy knows no easing
agendas and rules it sets tightly
from its grasp there's no freeing

only in my last days of dying
will I find its ceasing and demising
I love you dearly
  but can't promise
   to permanently stay:
   freedom I need passionately

   love shouldn't be
   the owning and clinging:
   my all I can't give away
   that would be my very dying-

   I will plead sincerely
   that you shouldn't love me
   look away, keep your heart
   to yourself-- lest you suffer endlessly!
I lost touch
with
my to-do list
only to find
myself
found
in my
to-live
list
"Look deep inside yourself—turn your gaze away
From the world around you; inward let it stay.
This is the first demand that wisdom makes,"
Said Fichte, as the mind’s first step he stakes.

Even ancient sages claimed the same before.
Trust the world’s half-truths—you will think no more.
Reason turns to riddles if you chase the lie,
Only chasing echoes—phantoms in the sky.

Life’s a dream, unless if you
See beyond the haze.
Wisdom must be daily new—
Else you rot and waste.
