The world has changed so much.
But has it changed for better?
Swords are replaced by bullets .
But the killing goes on .
The thirst for blood of a fellow human being
still remains the same .
Advanced Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Drones are meant to make our life better,
But haven't they also made killing much easier ?
It really makes me wonder ,
Has the world really changed for better?

I am afraid ,
not of dying,
but to be born again .

I am afraid ,
not of my enemies ,
but to fall in love again.

I am afraid,
not of death,
but to live one more life
with a broken heart.

In darkness,
be the light in someone's life.
Lend a helping hand,
You surely will make a new friend.
If someone loves you,
Honour that love.
For love isn't a commodity,
You can buy.
To the one you love,
Give the gift of time.
Spread a smile,
In someone's life.
Your life will be truly worthwhile.
After all,  what is life's worth,
If it can't make someone's life better.

I have no riches
to win your heart,
No power
to make you mine.

All I have
are my words .
With them, I will build
a love bridge .

There,
one day,
someday,
our hearts will meet.


Hopefully.

I saw an Angel in my dream.
She said she would fulfill any wish I have.
"Should I make you the best ?"she asked.
"No,"said I.
"Just a little better than yesterday.
That will do."

I saw a light in your heart,
that is how I fell in love.
Your light sparked a fire of desire
in my heart.

Douse this fire with a shower of your love,
or watch it burn to ashes of love.

In a unique galaxy
somewhere in the sky,
special stars live there,
big and small alike.

One day, a lost asteroid
found itself among those stars.
The stars were kind;
they let it stay there,
and one fine night
turned it into a star.

Now it is shining bright.

A dying heart

drenched by a shower of love

came back to life.

Let my heart fill with joy.
Let go of all the sorrows.
If hope keeps the world alive,
fill my heart with hope.

Your memories still bring tears to my eyes,
please remove them from my heart.
Set my aching heart free,
let it be whole again.

All that is beautiful is not treasure.
All that is broken is not trash .
Ask any broken heart
It will tell
It is beauty that breaks hearts.

Between life and death,
lies an empty space,
a playground for love
where hearts run wild.

Why follow when you can lead the way,
Lose your way you may, but never lose hope.
Accept challenges, never surrender,
Every time you fall, rise a little higher.
When one door closes for you, find a new one.
Love you may not find, but always look to earn someone's trust.
When you see a dark cloud,
Remember there is a rainbow around.
Don't be afraid of the dark night,
For, the night is the darkest
Just before sunrise.

Don't break a heart





Just take a break....

We break a piece of glass....unintentionally.
We break a loving heart....intentionally.

When a glass breaks,
it makes a sound.
When a heart breaks,
it cries in silence.

There's a pain in my heart
It doesn't go away
Does it hurt because it's broken?
Or is it because you are the reason
Is this what you called love?
Making promises and then leave,
Tearing my heart apart.
My heart is pure, so was my love for you
You were too blind to see
Lucky are those who are being loved
Someday perhaps, it will be my time
To be loved.

Come back ,
Or give me my life back.
You took all I had.
Come back ,
You are all I have.

Do not knock,
The door of my heart is locked.
Once,  it was a glorious place
Filled with the love of my dearly beloved,
and the soft sound of my heartbeats.
Now, it's empty and silent.
Graveyard of a dead love.
A forbidden place for lovers.
Please, do not knock
You can't enter
The door to my heart is locked forever.

I am broken,
don't fix me.
If you find me in pieces,
don't collect me.
I am replaceable,
just replace me.
It's quite easy.

I saw her walking on a full moon night ,
Wearing a silver gown ,
Her face shining like a brilliant star .
She looked at me and smiled .

I stood ,wondering who she was .
Soon, I found her standing next to me .
She greeted me with her embrace,
and a kiss upon my lips.

Alas! I  woke up -
It was only a dream.

Once I dreamed of a world
filled with canvas and colours.
A dream to bring to life,
blank canvases with various shades and hues.
To let my paint brush speak for me.
To use up all my time,
to create landscapes, seascapes and portraits.

A distant dream it was, now broken.
My canvas remained blank,
my palette remained empty.

Never looked at any other face again,
nor did I travel the road of love again.
Locked up my heart, once and for all,
for you were, are and always will be,
my one true love.
The Sun shone brightly and then,
disappeared behind the horizon.
Stars twinkled all night and then,
they too disappeared.
Storm came and gone,
leaving behind a trail of destruction.
But my love for you stayed like a rock,
never faded nor disappeared.

I
fell
in
love
in
an
instant

  
and


I
am
still
falling.

If I love you enough ,
my love will find a way
to your heart .

No,I don't believe in miracles -
it is my love
that I trust.

You said, "It's over"
as if it was dinner .

It is love,
it is forever.

You cannot keep me chained.
You can't clip my wings .
I will not surrender.
I won't accept defeat .
I will break free .
I  will fly away .

I am freedom.

Air we need
It's free for all.

Freedom we want
It comes with a price.

Strong as a rock,
Unbreakable like a promise.
Yes, it is friendship -
A bond built on trust.

Once made, never broken
The older it gets ,
Stronger it becomes .
Far or near, always there .

Seasons come and go,
But friendship remains intact.
Never fades away nor disappears ,
Stays with you like the Sun -

Always shining bright
To brighten up your life
Removing all the dark clouds
Away from your life.

Dear Shane, you will get well.
You have a long battle ahead.
Fight it with all your might.
Don't give up.

Look straight into the eye of death.
Tell it to go back.

Ask death to come -

when you are 100 years old,
when all your hair turns silver,
and all your teeth fall off.

That is when you will meet death, smiling.

Gone too soon,
too far away,
far beyond reach,
without saying goodbye.
Only memories are left now.

Don't say your goodbyes yet.
You have a long journey ahead.
Not everyday will be sunny.
Some of the days will be gloomy.
You will feel so lonely.
On such a day,
Remember someone is there,
Who will sing you a happy song
To lift your mood.
Dance funny to make you laugh.
Stand by you to let you know,
You are not alone .
Will hold your hand ,
Won't let you fall .
Don't forget ,
Don't say goodbye, just yet.

"Forget about him.
Let him go.
Don't think.
Just let go,"
So they say.

"Well ,why not?" I said
"How hard can it be?"

I kept thinking about forgetting him,
then fell asleep.
There he was again,
smiling in my dream,
as if saying, "Happy forgetting."

Once I was asked..if I could,
would I trade my broken heart with a perfect new heart ?
As tempting as it was,
I said I would not.
"Strange", he said. "Why not?"
With a smile I replied

"It is my broken heart that has turned me into a poet.
Each time it aches, emotions flows like a river
from where a beautiful new poem is born ,
which then I share with the world,
to bring them a moment of joy. "

In despair,

when breathing
feels like a crime
do not give up.

When everything feels lost
hold on to hope

Keep it burning -
the candle of hope

A little hope and
a little courage

will pull you through....

       even hell.

She said, "I am afraid ."
He said, "Why? I am here."
She said, "That is why."

I can be what you want me to be.
I can be how you want me to be.
Chained to you and not be free.

                      But-

Will you be able to love me
if I am not me...

                   truly?

If we choose to be
we can be:

the voice of the voiceless,
the strength of the weakest,
a glimmer of hope for the hopeless,
a ray of light in darkness.

If you were to ask
why I write
so much about love

Well, what can I say -

The Taj Mahal is my inspiration.

Not by the mean faces
I see everyday ,
who smile
with a mask on.

Not by the harsh voices
I hear everyday,
that always
pull me down.

But by the unseen faces,
by their unheard voices,
only their words-
the wisdom within...

I am inspired.

I often ask myself :

"Why is it so easy to die
for someone you love ,
and yet so hard to live on
for someone who cares?"

Yesterday, I was nothing .
I was happy.
You pulled me down .
Treated me like trash.
It ignited a fire in me.

Now, I shine bright ,
just like the Sun .
Don't come closer
You will burn ,
In my light.

It is time
to rise and fight.

It is time
to take a stand ,
for what is right .

It is time
to turn the tide .

Today is the time
to save the world,    
for our tomorrow
    
          or else

there will be none.

I have said it a thousand times
What if I say it one more time
Or perhaps a thousand times more

After all it's only three words

                          I
                      LOVE
                       YOU .

ख़ुशियों से मेरे दिल को आबाद कर दो ,
गमो को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो |
अगर उम्मीद पर कायम है  ये दुनिया  ,
तो उम्मीदों से मेरा दामन भर दो  |
तुम्हारी यादें रुलाती हैं दिल को,
अपनी यादों को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो  |

Kindness touched a heart,  
the heart turned into a beautiful flower,
its fragrance is felt everywhere.

Let us let go of the past .
Let us make a fresh start .
Let the first step be trust .
Let us be friends one more time .
Let us be friends for life.

This is our world-
Yours and mine.
We call it home.
It's not perfect ;
It has flaws .
True, we can't make it perfect .
But with a little bit of kindness ,
and a little bit of love
we can always make it better .

Only if we try-
Let us try.

Give life a chance,
Live a little longer.
Life is a gift,
Share it with the ones you love.
Hold a trusted hand,
The road of life will be smoother again.
Leave all your sadness behind,
Step into a beautiful new world.
Set your aching heart free,
Love will come in like a cool breeze.

Little by little ,
I fell in love .
A gentle smile,
every once in a while.
I fell in love .
A few words of wisdom,
Whenever I felt lost.
I fell in love .
A  little help ,
Every time I needed.
I fell in love with you.
With each passing day,
I love you a little more...

If it's love,
It will hurt.

If it hurts,
You know it's love.

O' love....your name I hear everywhere
What are you?...I  asked.
A voice came from within the depth of my heart
Love is.....it said
"When the world is lying at your feet
Yet, you don't care to look
For you can't take off your eyes
from that one face. "
O' how truly beautiful love is...said I.
Come...come...love
Come to my heart
For I too wish to feel your touch
Dear sweet love.
