I asked god

 One day

In my dreams

I asked god

Why At times

I cry

At times

I laugh

Sometimes

I have to remain

Content

Only With a smile

Sometimes

Even the smile

Eludes me

I only cry

God replied

You cannot get

Everything

All the times

Remain contented

My child

Live with patience

In mind

You shall be happy

Most of the times

God,life,patience,contentment

Dr.Rajendra Tela,Nirantar

When thoughts dry

When thoughts dry

Gestures mistaken  

Words get lost

Silence becomes

The best form of

Expression

Says much more

Than words can

Ever say

One who has suffered

Understands more than

Anybody else can

Contentment,life,content

Dr.Rajendra Tela,Nirantar 

When will the desires arise ?

When will

The desires arise ?

The soul speaks

Thoughts arrive

When will the pen get up?

From deep sleep

I do not know

However, I know one thing

Whenever it opens its eyes

It will convert my thoughts

Into words

Turn them into lines

Carve them on a paper

Give birth to a poem

Pleasure to my heart

Contentment to my soul

Getting more Laughter and happiness

Morning sun makes me

Happy and cheerful

My hopes are on the peak

For a day

Full of happiness and laughter

The afternoon sun

Gives too much heat

Unable to look at it

Reminds me of hard work

I am doing

The resultant sweat

Takes some of my laughter

The evening sun

Looks very tired

Giving less shine and heat

Looks as drained as I am

Without any laughter

Only tiredness

As night sets in

I sit in the open

Underneath

The cold moon light

Ask myself

 What I achieved?

After a tiring day

I feel

Satisfied and contended

For trying to do my best

With patience and dedication

Tiredness goes

Smile comes to my face

I feel happy

Go inside the room

Sleep peacefully

In the hope of

Getting more

Laughter and happiness

The next day

All These Years

All these years

I have waited

I am still waiting

I shall keep on waiting

For the fulfillment of

My dreams

I am neither frustrated

Nor depressed

I was hopeful

I am hopeful

The day will come

When my dreams

Come true

I am not in a hurry

Hope and confidence

Does not let

My desires die

Delusions of the mind

Keep trying

 To make me embrace

Madness

Crumble my confidence

Turn my life into hell

Desires keep coming

Contentment

Keeps me smiling

Patiently I wait

For my dreams

To come true

Desires never die

Desires never die

One fulfills

New arrives

No one is ever

Satisfied

Life becomes a

Punishment

Without contentment

Endless desires

Need to be controlled

Remain contended

In what you have got

Limit the desires

Reduce the needs

Remain happy

Throughout the life

My desire remained a desire

My desire

Remained a desire

Never got fulfilled

So I decided

To make another desire,

I prayed to god

To give me strength

Not to desire

After few days

I asked god

What happened to?

My desire

Of not desiring

God said to me

Since you desired

Not to ever desire

If I fulfill it

You shall not get

What you desired

If I do not fulfill

Your desire

You shall keep on

Complaining

About unfulfillment

Of desire

So my advice is

Desire less

Remain contented

Do not expect much

As expectation breeds

Frustration

And frustration breeds

Anger

In anger one looses cool

Becomes

Rash and purposeless

In search of truth

In search of truth

Fed up with the falsehood

I became a discontented soul

I read books

Met scholars

Tried all that was possible

Every time I thought

I have got what I wanted

I found I was wrong

I was, where I was

I met an old man

Who told me

To reduce my desires

Try to be happy

With what I have

I decided to try

Put his advice into action

Not to mention

Truth seems nearer

I am happier

Than ever before

Never thinks of being happy,with what one possesses

Everybody dreams

Throughout the life

Always searching

For better living

Fulfilling the desires

Remains the motive

Discontentment comes

When the same 

Is not achieved

Frustration creeps in

Misery sets in

Happiness leaves

Keep sweating

Lose sleep

Priorities keep changing

Every day

Wishes increase

Loses peace

Lives in agony

Ready to compromise

With unholy deeds

Forgets the path of god

Wanders like a fraud

Cheating himself

To fulfill the endless wishes

Never thinks of being happy

With what one possesses
