Life takes the path it likes

Left and right

Up and down

Every now and then

Life changes

Colors

From black to white

Whether one smiles

Or one cries

Life doesn’t understand

Any feelings

Takes the path

It likes

Lucky are people

Who smile?

More than they cry

Taking everybody for granted

Past midnight

I asked my wife

To cook

My favorite dish

She refused

I asked my friend

To accept

All that I said

He refused

I asked my son

To do everything

I wished

He refused

I asked my parents

To treat me

Like a small child

Even after

I became an adult

They refused

I kept getting

Refusal after refusal

Looked to me

As a sort of betrayal

It was too late

Before I realized

I had spoiled relations

I was taking

Everybody for granted

Thinking only about me

Without caring

About  their feelings

Repentance

Many a times

My past haunts me

Memory of

My deeds

My thoughts

My behavior

The words I spoke

Pains me

There is no way

To undo

What I did

The only thing

At my command

Is to

Repent my sins

Forgive and forget

Not to repeat

My unworthy actions

Pray for the welfare of

Each and every person

Try to unwind

Spoilt relations

Live like a true human

Poem on Prayer-True prayers

Can anybody tell?

Why can’t sorrows

Turn into happiness

Tomorrow

Can anybody answer?

Why can’t the grief on face

Turn into smile 

Tomorrow

Can anybody enlighten?

Why the tears of sadness

Can’t turn into tears of joy

Tomorrow

Even if nobody tells

Prayers

Never go unanswered

Keep patience

God answers

True honest prayers

Blesses one with a

Rosy tomorrow

What others will say

My dignity

My convictions

My beliefs

Have to pass

An acid test

Everyday

My attitude

Determination

Patience

Does not

Let me fail

But that

Does not mean

I do not succumb

To emotional pressures

But I rectify

My mistakes

As soon as

I realize

Without bothering

About

What others will say

To the mind

Tomorrow

Poem on Hope-I am hopeful

I am hopeful

Today’s darkness

Shall turn into

Light tomorrow

The agony

On the face shall

Glitter with happiness

Tomorrow

The pain in the heart

Shall vanish

Tomorrow

The sleepless nights

Shall be full of

Sweet dreams

Tomorrow

I am hopeful

God ultimately

Shall have to listen

To my honest prayers

Relieve me of

My sorrows

Tomorrow
