Never ever assume
everyone desires your friendship
some people only wish
their silent living to keep

their body-language
thus this will speak
' My boundary is drawn
I ain't your pick!'

It's mental  indigestion-
knowing too much
that which is little
bears the best touch

so easy to handle
so light- it's enough
just like simple joys-
nothing is like such!

There's no cure for fear
but only in letting go
of our self--with nothing
to cling to or hold

all our life
this the elders told:
grasp, gather, collect
as though that were gold

and time passed swiftly
we  became weary and old
and realised only then that
other people's ideas had been oversold

Memory has wings
flies faster
than the person thinks-

memory the chronicler
of every person's
struggle and endeavour-

memory the Pandora's box
the owner dares not open
in fear of the shocks!

Memory, the tears-bearer
the woe of jilted lovers
who vow not to love ever-

memory --
not the teacher
but the tormentor-

memory--many will declare:
life would be much happier
if it were not there!

Love me
or hate if you will
I'm a Zen person
I stay calm and still

Many began to understand
the meaning of life
only when they had suffered
the greatest strife

Life is painful struggle
made harder by people
