A moment where I know yet unaware;
A moment where I'm complete yet missing;
A moment where I'm strong yet scared;
A moment where I believe yet doubtful;
In this moment, I am and I am not.
In this moment, I...

Generation gap, a beautiful distance
Epitome of TLC , a sweet sweet sense.
Grandpa’s stories about magical world
I sit fascinated in his arms curled.
On seeing me, his lips twitch a smile
His loving aura, leaves me beguile.
Albeit the gap, he understands me best
His laps are my favorite place to rest.
His eyes glitter up with joy,
With me he’s always frank, never coy.
Warmth from his hands makes me stronger,
He is getting old, I wish he stays longer.
How can any ever neglect them?
He is such a find, my own lucky gem.
When parents talk rude to him,
My eyes pool tears that one can swim.
They accuse him of not understanding,
Has daddy forgotten his days with him on the swing?
Grandpa gave up all for our good fortune,
Today they tell them their thoughts don’t anymore tune?
When I ask, momma calls it generation cap,
I believe with bad, they should roles swap.
This tired old soul soon won’t breathe anymore
The thought kills me, in pain I roar.
Grandpa is not a pain, you better understand
If in your old age, you want me hand.
Generation gap, a beautiful distance
Epitome of TLC, a sweet sweet sense.

I want to go right.. Oh, there's no sight.
I want to go left.. But there was once the terrible theft.
I want to go straight.. No, for that long, I cannot wait.
I want to go back.. However, there everything is black.
So where do I go? Up and down, to and fro!
So goes in my head the commotion, when will my life get the promotion.
Lord! Show me your guiding light, give me courage to win this fight.
I want to overcome this turbulence, I want to erase every grievance.
I want love to encircle me, I'll remove the hatred that surrounds for free.
To have a happy life, is all I ask for, peace is the motto, be it love or war.
I have high aims like all, save me the hit of the wrecking ball.
So many emotions fill me right now, life is such a game, in good or bad way makes you exclaim a wow!
I want to speak it all out, Yes, I want my heart, out loud to shout.
But then a fear overshadows my talk, there I prefer through the back door to walk.
I know it might not t be the right thing to do, but another step of mine will make me a boo.
I am not so strong to face what comes, the anxiety in my throat is forming up lumps.
Should I keep it all within? Away from eyes, forever hidden?
That shall push me to continue to live this way, life won't be black or white, but grey.
Confusion will rise every morning, without giving me any warning.
Sadness would be the darkness in night, No, this doesn't feel so right.
I want to be happy, too much to ask? Because I failed in what you gave me as a task?
Don't you realize, that is not who I am, Though I do respect you, sir and ma'am.
But I want to be the way I am born, What in it is wrong?
To bring you a smile, I should sell my soul? And if I refuse, you'll make me live in that dark hole?
Why, today I ask. What have I done? That on my heart, you point that gun.
To live life the way I want I say, so get yours and don't rule mine, okay?
Today I am quiet, why I don't know, but I promise tomorrow I will glow.
My light would make you blind, even then my love will keep you bind.
Because I loved you truly, every minute, for everything from big to as small as a particle of millet.
You should know, nothing can stop me from reaching the top, no matter you push me down at every hop.
I won't get disheartened from any of this, because whatever life has to offer is a bliss.
I won't let this destroy my goal, or burn in my pocket a **** hole.
I will win, I know in my heart, doesn't matter how much you try to be smart.
Yes, this is for all you people out there, with black, grey, white or no hair.
Nothing in this world can slower down my pace,
To my loved ones, I am already a grace!

"Her eyes want to see beyond the sky,

Her dreams want to fly, so high, so high.

Words are gushing out from her mouth,

To the world she wants to shout.

When this heart for the first time had beat in this world,

In her mother's arm, she was curled.

Since then writing is her passion,

To express every feeling through writing, is her fashion."

I cry
Choked by the society
Its orthodox mind, sinful acts
I cry
Bounded by rules, stuck in the ivory tower
Deprived of the freedom to be
I cry
Victim of this chaotic world
Non-functioning organs, unbeatable heart
I long
For a place that is
Bloomed with love and humanity
I long
For my wings
To fly
To the haven of tranquility

"Pictures are deceptive," the connoisseur said,
This vacillating fact in dark had me lead.
The outer say is deceptive in real,
Hence, the world seems so cruel.

Most sapiens are not what they look like
Honesty and love are concepts gone on hike.
One can never know what is there in other's heart,
Accept it, you're ginger albeit being a spart(warrior)!

They put on the red cloth of love,
Fly around you pure like a dove,
They wear the face that gives you hope,
When self-sufficient, push you down the *****.

Naturally, it is heart shattering, skin pinching,
The shudder of betrayal leaves you wincing.
They walked away when you were in need,
You are not the same, be intrepid to pay no heed.

The same red cloth now brings you agony,
However the extinct dove makes the epiphany-
You're different, you're given the chance,
To not be broken and take up carte blanche.

I owe you for giving me hope,
I owe you for giving me the  opportunity,
I owe you for helping me to cope,
I owe you to perfect even the nitty-gritty!
You are life and I owe you mine!

Climbing in the scorching heat of sun,
Sweat tickling down, I put my hair in a bun.
“I can do it, I have to do it!” , I kept chanting,
Bone tired, at every step was left panting.
There was no scope for looking back,
I had come a long way, with everything pack.
Still the destination was a long way from there,
Wondered what if it leads me nowhere?

Albeit being alone, it was a race,
All the obstacles, individually had to face.
Had been served betrayal and left wincing,
The shudder of rage and pain is still pinching.
But I have to complete this journey on my own,
For the incepting seed, I myself had sown.
The crooked and rough road bit my feet,
Still I ink what I feel on this little sheet.

When it is dark, I feel fear,
Slowly down the cheek comes the only tear.
Till miles away can hear just my voice,
Realisation dawns that this is the fruit of my choice.
I garner all the courage in me,
Up high my goal with a smile I then see.
If I am able to climb this one,
Maybe I don’t have to further run.

So with the morning a new hope comes,
Positivity dissolves the insignificant fear lumps.
I begin my journey once again,
With the faith that this time efforts won’t go in vain.
As I come closer to my ambition,
Travels in me a new alien sensation.
I feel lighter at heart as my soul relaxes,
For this view I’ll pay all kinds of taxes.

I have finally climbed this mountain of life,
I have achieved for what I had strife.
The view from up here takes my breath away,
As amongst the overwhelming emotions I sway.
Tears trickle down my face and then a full blown sob,
I have got it all back that was once from me rob!
The purity and serenity  of this white expanse,
Has finally provided me with the ultimate chance.


I able to comprehend the gospel truth of this place,
I wondered if below there is any such trace.
All the pathos one can aspire for,
Here you get, be it sweet or sour.
I see how the mountain stretch till the horizon,
It tells me how much today I have won.
The clear sky above gives room to my thought,
The dense forests below tell me of the battles I had fought.

Th altitude tells the worth of what I have achieved,
My breathing brings life to what I have never believed.
It all is actually in the mind,
You decide how you want your life to be bind.
Nobody can take your dreams from you,
Because this fabric you know how you sew.
Nobody else has the same information,
This is you and you are your creation.

After I live in the moment there,
Pops in my head the question, “Now where?”
Life is a climb, it is a mountain range,
You climb one up, comes another strange.
Ups and downs are part of life,
Flower at one end, other with a knife.
Nothing can take you down, so never whine,
Never stop climbing, and everyday you’ll shine!

The sun has risen,
The aims are set.
The road is known,
The bag is packed.
Standing in the doorway,
I am stopped in my shoes,
Around me, something swoons.
This is what I wanted.
This is what I needed.
Today, I know where and how to get it, still
My mind is playing games.

The night has draped the sky,
I stand on the terrace, up so high.
My breathing is quick,
The wind is washing my face,
Self-loathing has left no trace.
I hold the trophy right now,
I have achieved my aims somehow.
I should celebrate and I am, but
I know it is not the beer, then why
My mind is playing games.

I am surrounded with loving people,
I have nothing to worry about.
Situations aren’t so bad either.
A normal day I am living,
No big decisions to make.
Simple chores I am doing,
Why life seems no easy cake?
I know the life I want to live,
I know it is no easy ****, still
My mind is playing games.

It is not that I cannot do it.
It is not that I don’t have enough passion.
It is not that I am refraining from doing my bit.
It is not that my thoughts are not in fashion.
A breath of the freshest air,
A shower of the coolest water,
A hand of the loveliest heart,
A peaceful moment of the most peaceful.
This is all I need, where my mind is paying all heed.
This is how it will stop the games, and
I will rise to the aimed fames.

Your touch rocks my world,
I only want to be in your arms, curled.

Your smile simply melts my heart,
I cannot live with us apart.
The ****** in your eyes lights my soul,
You, yes you make me a whole.
You are my dazzling other half,
Your love is beautiful, like a cashmere scarf.
When you are there by my side,
There is no fight from which I must hide.
I can listen you day and night,
I hope you never go out of my sight.
You’re loved all the time,
To love you will always be my motive prime.
Your laugh makes me more than happy,
With you in life, it is a dance, so peppy.
Your arms are my favourite place,
Without you I have no trace
In my life, you’re the sun and moon,
Even the idea of being with you makes me swoon.

Your touch rocks my world,
I only want to be in your arms, curled.

The beauty of  this expression,
Makes a difference in any situation.

An alternative to voiced words,
A weapon against the sharpest swords.

Panacea for the painful heart and tearful eyes,
Connects to the soldiers under other land’s skies.

Exchange of feelings between lovers,
In tough times, one inspiring peace, sobers.

Under the spell of rain, flows straight from the soul,
Always successful in covering those doubted holes.

Fills the silence with its devices,
Holds the power to fill the crevices.

It helps in the appreciation of the serenity of nature,
Although boneless, full of life and soul, it indeed is a living creature.

Yes, poetry is this electric and colourful magic.
Captivating all hearts and minds, its effect is so pelagic.

Gone with the wind is his old desire
Bright flowers of love bloom in his spring
Once who ruled his heart’s empire
I’ll die for Rosaline – he no longer will sing
Tenderness of this new flower
Bewitches heart and mind of Romeo
Charm of looks on both sides in power
Lovely Juliet and him, the magnificent duo
Alas! She is nothing but blood of enemy
And he, her enemy’s next of kin
In abstract lies the idea of him to see
To express to Juliet his love, and her heart win
Juliet’s love for Romeo is no less than him
Opportunity to meet her lover, for her more fleet
Infinity of time and power of love come to brim
Rise of sun to meet, overcoming the danger, so sweet
This is ACT II ; Scene 1 , the chorus. I have composed this myself on lines of Shakespeare

The other day I looked in the mirror,
That is when life became more clearer.
Yes, the mirror showed me the gospel truth,  
Mystery was solved, by the mirror, the sleuth.

The scars on the skin seemed to fade away,
The soul opened doors to the clandestine cache.
The dazzling light bouncing out of me,
Made me gasp in ecstasy and glee.

As tears trickled down my cheek,
I realised it is me keeping myself weak.
When the reflection in mirror is only mine,
How, because of someone else, I can then whine?

The happiness erupting through my soul,
The hope and will once again make me whole.
The mirror shows me who I am,
Anyone who jeopardises my way, will get a wham.

The mirror shows me myself on the stage,
Giving a success speech, wearing a gown of beige.
My strength centres in me once again,
Determination comes, that now efforts won’t go in vain.

I see the talented beautiful myself,
I can do it, I just need my own help.
I promise the me in mirror, to never again be broken,
I promise the reflection, to achieve even the unspoken.

Pathway to life is criss-crossed,
To succeed, obstacles need to be in trash tossed.
The other day I looked in the mirror,
That is when life became more clearer.

I made a mistake,
I once had expectations from you.
The faith now seems vague,
The bond is lost which had constantly grew.
But I won't sit here and cry,
For to be stronger, at times, a little you've to die.

The warmth of the light from a lamp-post in dark,

Ignites in me a blazing spark.

It tells me the fact that you will always be there,

Be it in light here or in dark when nowhere.


The pinhole cameras of a tree on a sunny day,

Makes my visual white, black and gray.

Takes me back to our sweet and sour memories,

With you in my life, there will be no worries.


The gushing sound of waves on a beach,

The scenic sunset makes me preach!

How far you and I have come together,

You make me easy, as light as a feather.


You make my presence worthwhile,

You as a person always have me beguile.

Albeit being so much more than me,

You make things easier setting me carefree!


You see me in a way no one does,

In my head this creates a buzz!

Do I really deserve all of this?

You bring love..making life a bliss!


When the wind hits my face,

I am flash-backed to times of your grace.

When I am low or high in life, I know you will be there,


You are the only one, who can my fifty shades bear.

Every morning is an outcome of a dark night,
Keeping this hope up, I'm still standing in the fight.
I feel complete when you are start and end of my day,
Without you around, I'm simply fading away.

When people raise their finger on me,
To you, I desire to flee.
When I'm judged, misunderstood, accused,
In your light, I want to be fused.

I accept that I am not a good person,
So what? I'll be given scars in black, red and crimson?
I am suppressed the every single time,
Is it always my crime?

How for them it can always be so fine?
Can't they see me, feel me, ever whine?
I just want to be happy, feel the breeze with a smile,
I want you to hold my hand, in this meanwhile.

My disability to express what is inside,
In my life, is bringing the disastrous tide.
Today I feel, the solution is to end this,
Maybe peace comes, when heaven gives me a kiss.

I am into this turmoil,
Where are you? Come wrap me in your foil.
Take me into a different world,
Then all the sadness in trash will be hurled.

When one feels alone in crowd,
Because of the pain, one wants to shout out loud.
When moonlight becomes the brightest thing,
Somebody else of your life becomes the king.

Maybe it is the most beautiful scene,
But how can you expect love from the mean?
Is it right to always in the flow yourself to blame?
I swear, Life! is the roughest game.

My mistake, I am not able to determine,
Perhaps this is what is making them win.
My tender age, my shaken phase,
Makes them think I am an easy chase.

Nothing is capturing my mind,
Now is when I want you to come and (me) find.
Only you can lift me from this situation,
I want you. For this I've no explanation.

You're that invisible power, the magic,
The only one that can take away all that is tragic.
Nobody knows who you are, including this heart,
But I so wish to be on your priority chart.

What goes in me, one fails to understand right now,
I want answers to what, when and how.
What is keeping me so down?
When will they stop wearing my life's crown?
How cannot seeing all of this, I now frown?

I want to end this in any way,
In between emotions, I no longer can sway.
For myself, I want to breathe once,
God helps all and not just nuns.

Shower your blessing on me too,
You're not God, so to reach you, there's no cue.
Just lift me once, high enough, so they can see,
That I am happier when set free!

One who is capable of bringing a life on this Earth,
Why is considered nothing but dirt?

One who was before worshiped for all our needs,
Why today disrespected to fulfil our inhuman deeds?

One who, for our good, is ready to have the forbidden fruit,
Why is it so difficult to return her the gratitude?

One whose purity and warmth is filled with magic,
Why her everyday is made tragic?

Never underestimate the power of a woman,
As the ship sinks without the most important crewman.

The melodious voice, her silent voice.
Is nothing but a harsh reality of your choice.

Shutting her up and putting her down,
Doesn't give you a wise man's crown.
She who out of love performed every act of abnegation,
She is the one, the true sensation.

How could you be so insensitive to not hear?
So much she said through the eyes in tear.

For love and respect today she whines,
Despite your ruthless nature, with her love, you, she binds.

Maybe you don't know,
Even in dark she can glow.

She can extend the unforgiving minute,
Her strength and purity has no limit.
She standing on earth has reached the stars and sky,
Still in misconceptions you are high.

Open your eyes, your heart, your soul!
You're nobody to charge on her life any toll.

Do not underestimate this silent voice,
Her unsaid is heard even in the noise.

When this silent voice will come out of its shell,
Will that be the time when you'll ring a bell?

Today the voice is silent.
Tomorrow, my friend, it might be violent.

One who has brought you on this earth,
Don't dare to consider her as dirt.
Silently she can give you the pain of your life,
She is nobody but your mother, daughter or wife.

Her silent voice is loudest everywhere.
Her absence you won't be able to bear.
So from today, begin to care.
Wise man's crown then you'll wear.

— The End —
