Life is beautiful

Life is beautiful

It's god’s gift to you

It is neither a bed of roses

Nor a thorny mattress

Never feel depressed

When you are distressed

Take life as it comes

Do not cry in difficulties

Take them as a challenge

Face them

With determination

Treat fellow beings

With love and affection

Life is wonderful

Life is beautiful

Life is a battle

One has to fight

Never cheat never steal

Help the needy

Serve the humanity

Work hard

To achieve your goal

Never hurt a single soul

Respect the elders

Love the younger

Make lots of friends

And enjoy the life

Let Me Laugh Again

Oh, lord

Hear my prayer

Do not

Snatch the flower

Of laughter

From the plant of

My life

Take my sorrows

Give back my laughter

Pour rain

On the dry earth

Make it wet again

Wash negative thoughts

With the water of positivity

Let the plant of life

Bloom again

I do not ask

For money and pleasure

I pray to you

Give back my courage

Restore my confidence

Leave me with a

Positive attitude

I am tired of

Seeing darkness

All around

Let my life shine

Again

With the light

Of love and affection

Oh, lord

Shower your blessings

On me

Let me laugh again

Guilt Complex

He was my closest friend

From childhood

Shared good and bad time

Together

Always wanted me

To reach greater heights

Started disapproving

The ways and means

I used to fulfill my dreams

My failures created doubts

For him in my mind

Started blaming him

For what I could not achieve

Held him responsible

For all my failures

Our friendship fell apart

I had lost someone

Who was my life’s part?

Time passed

I faced defeat after defeat

My progress halted,

Growth retorted

Until I realized

I was not doing the right

Remembered

What my lost friend

Had advised

Unwillingly did,

What he had suggested

Changed 

My ways and means

Started tasting

Success after success

My dreams were fulfilled

But kept suffering

From the crime

I had committed

I had doubted

My friend’s integrity

Never cared for his

Love and sincerity

The guilt complex

Never allowed me 

To live happily

I had lost courage 

To face him

For my wrong doings

Tears keep coming 

To the eyes

I feel all my achievements

Are tainted and farce

How to win him back ?

Is now my goal

Unfulfilled desire

He had greyed

Wrinkles on the face

Spectacles on the eyes

He saw her with probing

Eyes

Sitting on a bench in the

Garden

Reading a book near

The hotel

He was staying

He had come to the city

Four decades

After he completed

His studies

If not mistaken

It was she

Who filled his life?

With unfulfilled desire

She had also aged

Glow on the face

Had turned in to gloom

Slowly walked and

Stood in front of her

Seeing the light obstructed

She lifted her face

Her eyes remained

Wide open

She could not believe

It was he

She cleaned her eyes

To confirm

What she thought

Was right

Could not utter a

Single word

Tears started flowing

The man asked

How are you?

How is your family?

She replied

I did not marry

Slowly asked

In an anxious tone

Did you ?

No

I also did not

Was the answer

Tell me

Why you did not?

The woman blushed

Said in a muffled tone

Because

You did not

Did you miss me?

All husbands and wives

When meet

After being away

From each other

Ask the same question

Did you miss me?

No spouse says

I did not

Still they keep going

Away

For days or months

May be because of work

Or something else

Enjoy the work

Enjoy the life

But when together

Ask the same old

Question

Did you miss me?

Love is a two-way agony

Love is a

Two-way agony

Does not spare

Any body

Both keep waiting

Both keep dreaming

Thoughts keep coming

Both keep hoping

Both keep praying

Till not together

Live in misery

Both keep crying

When one

Leaves the world

Early

I was in bad mood

I was in bad mood

There was total

Gloom

Sun was shining

In the sky

However,

There was no light

In my mind

There was darkness 

All around

Pain and agony

Ruled my heart

Thoughts

Made me scary

Increased my worries

My gladness gone

Insecurity

Made me feel alone

Negativity crept in

Positivity gone

Whom to trust?

Whom to believe?

The question remained

Unanswered

Should I talk?

Should I write?

About

What I felt

What I thought

I felt trapped

Like a fly

In the spiders web

Longing to come out

Of my bad mood

Bring back

My rosy smile

Taking life as it came

My desire remains unfulfilled

Waves

Are never satisfied

They come

In leaps and bounds

With full enthusiasm 

Meet the shore

Surrender in

Totality

Consumed

By the shore

They calm down

Like a

 Woman does

After meeting her

Beloved

Her desires fulfilled

Only to return

With more vigour

As if to say

I shall keep coming

Again and again

Till you do not quench

My thirst for love

And

My desire remains

Unfulfilled

How can I forget you?

  How can I forget you?

I miss you

I dream of you

I am alive because of you

How can you ask me?

To forget you

Do not be so selfish

You know

My love for you

You are my peace

You are my soul

I want you to remain

 Happy

The way you want  

But never think

I can forget you  

Do not snatch my life

Let me live

By remembering you

Silence of the night haunts me

Silence of the night

Haunts me

Makes dreaded noise

In my mind

The darkness

Creates ripples

In the heart

I patiently wait

 For the night to pass

Let the morning light

Engulf the dark night

Change my fate

Free me from miseries

Bring hope and desires

To the turbulent life

Let peace and solace

Come

Bring calmness

To the heart and mind

I am unable to convince you

I do not expect

Anything from you

Nor do I have

Love designs for you

I remember you

Write to you

Simply because

I like you

Adore you

From the core

Of my heart

Though I try to

But simply cannot stop

Myself

From writing to you

Increasing your doubts

About my intentions

About you

My biggest agony is

I am unable to

Convince you

If I get two extra hours daily

If I get two extra hours daily, I would like to fill the gap between ,what I wanted to do ?what I should have done and ?and what I could not do .

I would spent more time with my family, besides utilizing them in reviving my contacts,

I will get in touch with my old friends, people who have played important role in my life and I have been unable to meet or contact them because of my busy schedule, I shall visit senior citizens whether known or unknown in the city and the colony, spent some time with them .I shall also try to complete jobs which are important, but have taken a backseat in my daily schedule and I have always blamed lack of time as the culprit for non completion. I would like to spend some time whenever possible to increase 

Pure Love

It was raining

She was standing

Under the tree

Her beauty

Visible clearly

From under Her

Drenched clothes

Inviting

Passersby to look at her

Unconcerned about

What they were thinking?

Her eyes were glued

On the road

Anxiously waiting

For her beloved

To arrive

Take her in his arms

Provide warmth

To her cold body

And

Drench her

With pure love

Fear

Fear exists

In every mind

Some fear death

Some fear life

There is fear all around

Some fear struggle

Some fear strife

The problem is their

Attitude

Fear does not solve

Problems

Fear does not give

Solution

Fear is an enemy

Which makes a person?

Weak and unsuccessful

Fear harms the health

Eats the wealth

It snatches the smile

Makes one cry

Help your self  

Get rid of fear

Work hard

Try for the best

Think positive

Live life like

Never before
