आयी थी मै भी पापा की परी बनकर
मा मुझे बनाकर रखना चाहती थी आंगन की गुड़िया कहा था यह किस्मत को मंज़ूर
मा , बाप का दामन छूटा ,
लेखो ने ना जाने कहां ला कहां ला छोड़ा।
यहां की हवा कुछ बदली सी है
ना जाने क्यूं यहां नाम बदल जाते हैं
हर रात मैंने सोना को मोना और रिया को जिया मै बदलते देखा है
हा
हर रात मैंने चांद की चांदनी मै चांदनी रंग के सिक्कों की खनक पे जिस्म बिकते देखा है
चांद की चांदनी को टटोलती चकोर जैसे थे हम
सूरज की चुभती किरण लगते हम

नन्ही जान को उसके आंचल से बिछड़ते देखा है मैंने
जिंदा लाश को चलते देखा है
किस्मत का रुख तो देखो ऐसा बदला
इंसानों मै वैशी दरिन्नदा जाग उठा
हा
एक दरिंदे को एक मासूम को नोचते देखा है
मैंने सूरज को चांद निगलते देखा है
माना पैसे मै कमाती हु
पर देने तुम ही तो आते हों
हा माना मै सोती हूं तुम्हारे साथ , पर उसी बिस्तर पर तुम भी तो रात बिताते हो
एक हाथ से ताली नहीं बजती केहने वालों कहां जाता हैं तुम्हरा ज्ञान सागर जब तुम हमे ही चरित्रहीन बताते हो , क्योंकि भागीदार तो तुम भी हो
मेरे काम से ज्यादा मेरी एक कहानी है
ना तुम सुनोगे ना ही मै सुनाऊंगी
मेरी मासूमियत मेरा लड़कपन हो गया बचपन मै कहीं दफन
ना जाने किसे कहते है बचपन
हमारे सवालों पर उड़ा दिया जाता है कफ़न
मरकर भी नहीं होगी पूरी इंसाफ की कसम
कभी नहीं भरेंगे हमारे यह जख्म
याद रखना मुझे वैशिया कहने वालों मै एक कला हु तुम्हारी कलाकारी का
आखिरी मै सुन मेरे मतवाले मुझे जब तू देखे समझना दुनिया का आइना देख लिया है।

From the heart flows
the freshness of air
the warmth of touch
the glowing of eyes
the sound of a smile
the occasion of scene
the calmness of mind
the wings of time;
hence! The feeling of love.

Who am I to keep you
from taking chances
stealing glances

Believe me when I say
I don't want to slow you down
by no means make you lose your crown

Quite the opposite it's true
I want you to hold this smile
for which I'd walk the extra mile

Simply what I'd love to have
is you to let me stand close to you
and maybe let me hold your hand then too

The only thing that troubles my mind
is not knowing if you want to share
your good life with me and if you think I'm worth the dare

Am I?

It’s a good life

I need to lose weight
I need to get better

It’s still a good life

You’ll never be good enough
You’ll never make it

It’s life

My life is lost
My life means little

It’s a good… Is it?

That girl doesn’t like, like you
That girl says your friends.. so, YOUR FRIENDS

It’s a long life

Ankles break
Ankles don’t always heal

It’s a tough life

People forget
People move on

It’s a cold life

Friends they come
Friends they go

It’s a backstabbing life

I don’t wanna leave
I cannot wait to get back

It’s a hurtful life

I feel empty
I feel like killing myself

It’s a ****** life

Someone helped
Someone loved

It’s a good life

It will always be a **** good life

So,
As you age
As you turn the page

Remember a few things,

Play the cards you were dealt best you can
Cause even aces get cracked
And you still won’t get them often

Always remember who was there
Never forget who wasn’t

Keep the good time close to your heart
Keep the bad ones closer
Because there is so much beauty in struggle
And without bad times, there’d be no good ones

What happens never defines you
How you react does
And you get what you give
So punch your own ticket

There is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel
But you wont get there sitting on the platform

Never forget a friend
Because people are still good, trust me.

Your scars don’t always show
So make sure you and the people who care see them

Not everyone cares
Find the ones that do
And try to be the one who cares to others

Make everyday count
And always have something to look forward to
You’ll never remember a night you got enough sleep
So step out of your comfort zone. Try something new-  even though you’ll regret it sometimes

Life is full of small victories, everyday
Win the day
Don’t forget to reward yourself for them
You probably deserve it

You’ll find yourself being the little guy a lot
Embrace that
Use that to your advantage
They’ll never see you coming!

Try to laugh
And never take anything too serious
Life can be better that way sometimes

Your mind is as important as your matter
Be sure take care of both
Look up
But keep up

Things are cool
Cool people are cooler
And bad people are the worst
So listen to the good music
But never underestimate the power of conversation
Because people can help

While everyone’s world doesn’t revolve around you
Your mothers does, your dad’s usually does too

There are rough patches
And they always seem worse than the good ones seem good
But winter isn’t forever
And summer isn’t always what it cracks up to be
So find the beauty in both

No matter where you are in your life
There are good times to be had
Life has mysteries
Life has misery- (a lot of misery)
But tomorrow is a new day

If you keep calm, work hard and just do right
Life can be a **** good thing


It really is a good life

It took,
one of the most beautiful sunsets,
I’ve ever seen in my life,
to get me to write again,

I’ve been taking a sabbatical from personal periodicals,
not that it was premeditated,
it was or rather is,
that I hadn’t felt motivated,

still don’t really feel inspired,
even after such a beautiful sunset,
which I watched from seat 1A,
in the front row of an aircraft,

another First Class flight,
this one shorter than most,
SFO to LAX,
been around the world but still I rep Westcoast,

the girl next to me missed the whole thing,
she was and is still fast asleep,
but the guy across from me saw it,
probably the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen,

see he’s a Navy Seal,
so I guess I don’t really know,
the Lord and He,
are the only ones that know what he’s seen,

at any rate the sunset was beautiful,
like I said one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen,
missed the first half because my view was blocked,
by a gay couple and their cell phone screens,

jeez,

can’t we ever just have a moment with Beauty,
without having to feel like we have to capture it,
why is it the first thing most people think when they see something beautifull,
is “Oh yeah I should take a picture of this!”,

and then their interest usually only last,
as long as it takes to take that photo,
then they go back to doing whatever they were doing,
before they were interrupted with something so beautiful,

but I’ll take a Beautiful Interruption before a Mundane Day any day,
I’ve always been one for the inspiration that comes with impromptu moments,
I’ve learned to Love unconditionally Beauty in the instantaneous moments Beauty exists,
I’ve learned to be able to appreciate something without having to have the urge to own it,

lost a lat of Love before I learned that lesson,
but better late than never,
so now I write these memoirs,
to help us all act better,

because there’s always room to improve,
and that’s whey I stretch out in my yoga practice,
take moments to meditate and put it all in perspective,
because that’s the only way to stay balanced in a world off it’s axis,

see the US government shutdown today,
January 20th 2018,
and here I am on plane flying 1st class,
from San Francisco to Los Angeles,

and even though,
it’s only an hour long flight,
it was day when we took off,
and now we’re about to land and it’s night,

amazing how much can change in an hour,
sometimes an hour can change a whole life,
and I’m reminded of all of this on this airplane,
as I gaze amazed at an amazing site,

that of one of,
the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen in my life,

it took,
one of the most beautiful sunsets,
I’ve ever seen in my life,
to get me to write again,

I’ve been taking a sabbatical from personal periodicals,
not that it was premeditated,
it was or rather is,
that I hadn’t felt motivated,

still don’t really feel inspired,
even after such a beautiful sunset,
which I watched from seat 1A,
in the front row of an aircraft,

another First Class flight,
this one shorter than most,
SFO to LAX,
been around the world but still I rep Westcoast…

Happiness is the seed
left dormant
within the darkness
let it germinate...
Disappointment is the ****
which torments
with sadness
let it terminate.....

Nurture
the good thoughts
good reads...
Rupture
the negative thoughts
bad deeds....

Let the positivity
flourish...
Let's heal
the anguish...

Let's love
the broken
and
give them light...
Let's help
the fallen
and
help in their fight...
