Central
Rupal Nov 2020
Everyone knows you are not with me.
I prefer that they believe so,
This way you become everything,
I taste you in every meal,
i add all of you to everything I do, you shine in my word and we savour each other in aloneness in your being the centre of absence.

Ownership
Rupal Oct 2020
We borrowed each other from the universe.
Nothing borrowed is meant to stay forever

Centre
Rupal Jul 2020
It’s so beautiful
how the universe aligned
to push me further  
into the storm.
I would have never
found the calm
at the centre otherwise.



So grateful at everything and everyone that was wrong for me. What I found so tough to understand and undergo is what I call my spine.

Connection
Rupal Jun 2020
Everyone is
Connected.
Everything is
Connected

Satisfied
Rupal Jun 2020
Learn to feel satisfied,
even when
you are not full.



Sometimes we ask for more, even when we overflow. Then we should not complain if a tsunami happens . This is how it all begins. A wave is happy with it’s short dance to the shore and it merges back with the ocean happily. The wave that thinks it is the ocean and wants a separate identity gets engulfed by the ocean. Similarly we all are tied with beautiful heart strings. Why pull strings excessively and unravel! A gentle tug at your own strings diminishes the need for others to pull strings for you. Be happy wherever you are placed. One day you will know the ‘why’.

Vision
Rupal Jun 2020
Open your eyes.
Nothing changes.
Yet everything looks
different
Sometimes even with the eyes wide open a little vision correction goes a long way as to how we actually see and interpret things.  We dream with our eyes closed, sometimes open too,  but to really see how something actually is we need to open our eyes. Nothing changes except the vision.

Breath
Rupal Jun 2020
I should have told myself
a long time ago,
I have a right to breathe.
I should have told
you a long time ago,
I can’t breathe!

You
Rupal Jun 2020
You
Word,
let me be your mouth.
You,
you be the ink
that in my veins flows.

Returns
Rupal Jun 2020
I am not your option,
future, or derivative.
Don’t get short or long on me.
Be fully
invested in me,
the returns will be phenomenal.

You
Rupal Jun 2020
You
My words
Equivocal.
You
Unequivocal.

Letting go
Rupal Jun 2020
Let the letting go
happen,
don’t force it
don’t think of it,
till one day you realise
you were really
holding on to nothing.




This how sitting still becomes meditation and you don’t realise it.
Jun 2020 · 50
Vulnerable
Rupal Jun 2020
Let vulnerability
be your skin
your ornament
and your identity.
Vulnerability sometimes
is impenetrable.
When one is permanently vulnerable nobody can get to them at a “vulnerable “ moment. Get comfortable being vulnerable and wear it like your skin. It becomes both the armour and the *****

Now
Rupal Jun 2020
Now
One day
we will meet.
Nowhere.
Jun 2020 · 86
Storm
Rupal Jun 2020
The calm
before the storm
is the weapon
of the storm.
Calmness  can be your weapon or your shelter. Beware of calm people.

Work in progress
Rupal Jun 2020
I want to remain
a work in progress
forever.
A finished product
becomes a
commodity.
Jun 2020 · 80
Thinking
Rupal Jun 2020
Overthinking
is insanity.
Not thinking
is normal.
Thinking
is a curse.
A chaos within.
Jun 2020 · 72
Knowing
Rupal Jun 2020
There is no right and wrong ever.  
Once we realise a truth
it can never be unrealised.
It is.
Colouring it in shades of
right and wrong
doesn’t enhance or diminish it.
In an open mind the truth dawns.
To know something as it is,
may be the realisation
that saints talk about.
Where the difference between
the knower and known ends.
That brief moment of realisation
is all that it is.
When the dissection begins
words are inadequate and inaccurate. However you can never
“unknow” once you know.

Bridge
Rupal Jun 2020
By the time you feel
the need to build bridges,
I would have destroyed
my bridge building material.
Jun 2020 · 37
Realisation
Rupal Jun 2020
Realise who you are,
then cross the
very fine line between
identification
and involvement.
Jun 2020 · 70
Freedom
Rupal Jun 2020
Freedom is the belief
that no one actually
has your back.
Jun 2020 · 70
Words
Rupal Jun 2020
Words don’t lie.
They mean exactly what they are.
Utter them carefully.
Jun 2020 · 91
Love
Rupal Jun 2020
If it doesn't make
you a nicer person
it's not love.
Jun 2020 · 68
Karma
Rupal Jun 2020
Karma is the only
real friend.
No matter how hard you try and outrun it,
it finally catches up.
Jun 2020 · 70
Everything
Rupal Jun 2020
Own nothing,
Owe nothing,
that adds upto
Everything.
Jun 2020 · 53
Regret
Rupal Jun 2020
Sometimes regret
is not for the lines crossed
but for the ones
never crossed.
May 2020 · 96
Hope
Rupal May 2020
Hopeful,
Hopeless,
essentially have the word
Hope

Freedom
Rupal May 2020
Freedom is
when your
conscience
doesn’t
accuse you.
May 2020 · 73
Consequences
Rupal May 2020
Every action
and inaction
has consequences.
May 2020 · 67
Tenfold
Rupal May 2020
Whatever we do should come back
to us, tenfold.
Maybe then we will learn to treat others the way we want
to be treated.
The way nature has decided to treat us!
May 2020 · 64
Words
Rupal May 2020
All you have,
may be a truckload
of unkind words.
Don’t hurl them
at others
if you don’t need them
May 2020 · 83
Topsy Turvy
Rupal May 2020
The world is indeed topsy turvy.
Stones worshipped
with bouquets
and brickbats
thrown at people.
May 2020 · 69
Damaged
Rupal May 2020
Some people enter life,
with a permanent
contract of your
destruction and demolition.
They never leave till the job is done.
May 2020 · 63
Porcelain
Rupal May 2020
Porcelain people
Dime a dozen.
Porcelain things expensive and rare. Things loved.
People used.
Even the universe caved.
May 2020 · 76
Love pro quo
Rupal May 2020
With some people
there is no quid pro quo.
It’s just love pro quo.
May 2020 · 50
Presence
Rupal May 2020
Absence of light is darkness,
Absence of darkness is light,
Remove all absence
and revel in presence.
May 2020 · 56
Investment
Rupal May 2020
Sometimes I feel
It is better to stop
investing in people,  
You give them the power
 to hurt you.

Things are a better investment.
It is okay to discard things.
Nowadays people find it easier
to discard people.
May 2020 · 65
Whole
Rupal May 2020
When you break me, there are more pieces of me to share.
I don’t glue myself again, and show the cracks.
Each broken piece
is my new whole.
Inspired by
Apologies from a broken heart by CJ Tims

Choose
Rupal May 2020
Making a choice
is being brave.
It is so easy to
lead a double life.
May 2020 · 80
One day
Rupal May 2020
Make note of
whatever your heart tells you.
Even if it doesn’t
make sense now.
One day it will
May 2020 · 63
Within
Rupal May 2020
When the perfect crime happens
they suspect it is an inside job.
So is meditation.
Seek within.
May 2020 · 61
Alone
Rupal May 2020
Have you ever
felt lonely while
being with someone?
Get into a
relationship with aloneness
You’ll never be lonely again.

Untitled
Rupal May 2020
How big did you become
By making me feel small.
And when you feed off, of small bits of me Remember you will always starve.

Crutch
Rupal Apr 2020
Don’t become anybody’s crutch.
If they stumble and fall
everybody blames the crutch.
Yet I managed
To become your crutch.
Apr 2020 · 90
Something
Rupal Apr 2020
Being busy
For sometime
Doing nothing
Is something
A new normal

You and I
Rupal Nov 2019
Nothing is ever created in which you don’t exist. You have taken all forms yet I seek you.
Do you know how often I have lost you then found you in all the places that I sought you.  
Do you know that the randomness in which you appear is the certainty that I uphold.
There is one last bit of me that I can’t seem to let go.  
Is that the piece that is missing from your puzzle?

FINALLY
Rupal Sep 2018
Finally beyond feeling anything
No scope for damage control
Crushed  and finely powdered
Passed through a sieve too
No scope for further damage
Finally beyond wear and tear
Living death like life depends on it.
Finally beyond all healing.

Have been away for a while but you all have become a part of my mind, so always in mind... Have a lot of beautiful verse to catch up on...

Sorry
Rupal Nov 2014
Some people
are apologetic
when they
break things...

Some people
break hearts
and pretend
nothing happened...
