The good captain knows that when his ship is going down
he must try to get everyone off safely before they drown.
Only at the last moment he thinks of himself if no one else is around
and his mind is then at peace knowing everybody is safe and sound.

From "The Quatrains" ongoing writings since the early '90's.

Her love was limited to words,
So was her promise to swords,
And my fate was terminated...
My HP Poem #1436

I need to leave here
run away.
Find a breeze to ride on.
A dream to eat.
I need my feet to carry me
from this.
to leave.
before you do.

Simmer down,
I'll tell you how to love me
underneath a purple sky
while watching swaying trees,
easier than looking into
your hurt eyes;
I really hate goodbyes.

I'll be wearing the smile
you killed me in,
wear your love all over my skin,
carry a bruise in my heart
as patience overflows
and of anger, I'll try to not overdose,
I wish I could push all
these problems away
and pull you closer,
but now I'll wound the two of us sober

You arms around me felt safe,
your lips tasted like home,
will you really force me to disown
everything of you I've come to know?

Never did it happen before
Never will it happen in the present
Nor something like this will happen somewhere around in the future again.

A thing of past is a thing of past,
from where it came,
to where it belongs
A thing of past is a thing of past.

A mistake is a mistake,
will remain as a mistake,
if it’s not corrected.

A mistake is a mistake,
will become a bigger mistake,
if the same old mistake from past gets repeated again in the present.
Never repeat same old mistakes from the past in present again,
since it proves to be very costly with each moment that passes by and makes life difficult in the present and also with regards to the future.

Never did it happen before
Never will it happen in the present
Nor will something like this happen again somewhere around in the future again.

Let’s make every effort in the direction of goal
Let’s make life interesting by doing something new, which was never done before in the past.
Probably initially it will not be easily possible,
however, later on the same thing will become a way of living life,
hence let’s make every effort to make life as interesting as possible when and while in the present itself.

Definitely a day will come when the past will seem to be much more interesting than the present, but then that past will be just recent past and if not ,then at least the day that just went by

Let’s keep life simple,
as simple as possible,
in doing so a day will when complicated things of life will seem to be simple and these same things will be done in a much faster way, than what was thought and expected prior.

Let’s try to make and keep life as simple as possible and also interesting.

Smile because there is always a reason for you to smile and it’s known either in the present itself, if not then the reason is stored somewhere around at the back of mind.
Life can be simple as well as interesting, however, the only thing that is needed is to accept this fact as it is and then move ahead along with the same in present.

Never did it happen before that life was seen at such a close distance, but then that’s life and life’s intersting.

before i met you...
i used to write
about people...
things
happenings ...
with so much precision
that people could see
what i want them to see
feel .. what i want them to feel
then u came along
i tried to write about u
but failed
coz it felt like no word in
dictionary
could do justice to what
i feel for you...
or describe how i see you
or tell what you mean to me
I LOVE YOU !!
is all what words have to offer
and i know they are not enough
but only a bit of what i feel for u...

I'm on a diet again, Oh No!
Giving up favourite foods, woe,
Must reduce my weight,
Before it is too late,
All I dream about is food,
Don't think about men, that's rude!
Yes, definitely food before dudes,
Yo-yo dieting is fun,
of this diet--it's only day one!
Feedback welcome (note pun!)

The day we're born
from our mums womb...

The day is not decided
the day is not fixed...

For when we come and when we go...

and no where to go,
and no place to call home...

In our dad's hand..
Seeing him for the first time,
a tear drop falling from his cheek,
closing his eyes...
giving us wishes..
and watches our smile...

The day we walk...
is the day they achieve,
something great.
something huge....
by their parents..

GRADUALLY .....
we become old,
pass our childhood,
become a teenager serving our country,
becoming an adult,
marrying a girl,
making our parents out..
having our children,
feeling the same,
watching them growing up,
and then what?

One day comes,
when your children throw you out
and we think the same.....
Wish I could have understand,
the feeling which our parents got...
when we threw them out,
and hoped,
that we can bring back the time...
when we were BORN.................................

There are no words
to describe what You were
what there wasn't
what You had
For words were Your first creation
sounds into a void at once brought into being
thoughts of neverending force
shot forth
in the absence of gravity
never to be taken back
I don't know how God began creating. It's interesting to wonder about
