Being Strong
Rangoli Saxena Apr 2018
The way is long
But I m strong
and I can be all
What I want.

Because I m fearless,
No, I need no ****
Have learnt forgiveness,
that makes me more strong

"Going on" and "let it go"
are two sides of the same coin,
you got to learn them both
to let yourself truly shine..

Future belongs to those
who can see it,
But Seeing ain't enough
Go, just create it.

Free yourself from cages
Cages you built within,
Have settlement with past
It's the only way to win.

The lonely wanderer...
Rangoli Saxena Mar 2018
The lonely wanderer wasn't lonely though
Until she met you long ago....
There were dreams, there were aspirations
Which haunt her now and lead to frustrations

A sentence announced for no fault of hers
like a Koala devoid of its furs.
Confused, hurt and devastated she
Still longed for him to be.

Buried inside is the Love supreme
Outside clings sadness at its extreme.
A ruthless madness spreads its wings
Fighting depression and cruel mood swings.

Yes, Moving forward, forward with hopeless eyes
Bearing someone's negligence and white lies..

The stage was set, the fire was on
Into the wicked trap, the girl was gone.
Violence, chaos, ignorance and treachery
made her life a living mortuary.

Days passed, her birthday came
only to unveil the wicked game.
Ah! No, Not the flowers nor the cake
but the TRUTH enough for her world to shake.

The stage was set again,but to put out the fire
She was extricated stainless from that filthy mire.
Apparently she was out and free from her ordeal
But the social stigma won't let her wounds heal.

The lonely wanderer is not lonely now
she knows why to live, can manage the how.
Life is much more and every moment count
The heart is too small to let the grudges mount.

If I were ....
Rangoli Saxena Feb 2018
If I were a poet, I'd have composed u in my poetry;
If I were a treasurer, I'd have kept u in my treasury;

If I were a writer, I'd have included u in my prose;
If I were a gardener, I'd have groomed u like a rose;

If I were a painter, I'd have painted u in my paintings;
If I were an orator, I'd have spoken u in my wordings;

If I were a singer, I'd have sung u in my song;
If I were a sheet, I'd have sheltered u against every wrong;


But, u see, this is simply me
What I can make, at best, a promise to thee;
I'll always keep u in my heart and mind
Until HE wants me and my business to wind.

For You My DAD
Rangoli Saxena Apr 2017
we were raw
knew nothing about good or bad
but there was one person to teach
and that was you my DAD !!

Time passed by
Life came with various shades,
But there was one person
whose love never fades....

Giving warnings of the incoming tides
But holding hand each time I slide
I sincerely thank you DAD
For always being by my side....

Being a DAD ain't an easy job
You are to feel a child's laughter & his sob.
He needs you whether he is happy or sad
and I m happy that you are my dad....

(For such a nice father)

I haven't done anything yet
that would make him glad,
But one thing is for sure
that I love you so much my dad......

It's Been Forever
Rangoli Saxena Mar 2017
It's been forever
Since i saw ur smile
It's been forever
Please come atleast for a while.

It's been forever
Since i heard your voice
Please don't break apart
Is this the only choice??

It's been forever
Since I felt ur magic touch
Am I so bad
that u r hurting me so much??

Gone people and time
Never come back
But our love and happiness
Is all what I lack


One day I will be "WE" again
I am alive with this fervour
No matter if for now
It's been forever.......

— The End —
