So they say, The World is a Stage!

For someone said, the world is a stage

And all of us the characters in the play

I often wonder if this is true

Or has God decided roles for only few

For I surely didn't pay any heed

As I have no clue of the duration of my deed

For me I am just an extra on a stroll

Trying to fit myself in the main lead role

Though neither do I have the knack

Nor do I think I can fit in the pack

Still I try and try really hard

And I know one day I’ll be barred

But it’s strange to know the curiosity you rave

For what cannot be yours is all what you crave

But then again, is it the truth or an act

For the world is a stage and that’s a fact

What you do and how you perform

In the end it’s just another art form.

The Gypsy Girl!

There she walks wild and untamed,

A mysterious creature, a fantasy unnamed.

With half a dozen bracelets jingling on her wrist,

Her scarlet of dress,

Dipped in honey and mist

Her long dark brown mane

Flowing on its own name

Her deep black eyes

Rich and heady as summer wine

She's a knights’ dream

A desire of the men in the realm

But still she walks lost in her thoughts

Unaware of the battles long fought

For she's a woman not meant to be bound

She's breathes the vigour of the nature around

No one knows what she’s looking for

She’s an abstraction she herself cannot define

With aura of a diamond and pureness of a pearl

She’s no one but the Gypsy Girl!

Deep Into the Abyss!

So here I was walking on my cloud,

Happy and gay on my stout

And there I just miss a step

And Fell deep in to the abyss

It was dark all around

With my hands and feet on the ground

It was a fall, a great fall

I couldn't walk,and had to crawl

I searched and searched around in the dark

With my blind eyes trying to hark

Waited there like forever

I thought I'll see my light never

And then like a phoenix it came

Rising from the dust below me

It took me on its wings

On its shiny neck I cling

And then when I saw the light

It was the most precious moment of my life

Once on the ground I reached, I realized

The wings that brought me to the spring

Were nothing but my, my very own wings

And now I could claim the sky

Feel the wind and let my hair fly

For I have risen, from the dust

And found my wings deep in the abyss

At the End of the World!

Listening to the sound of waves crashing on the shore,

The white surf gently lapping on the floor,

I realized that I am at the end of the world.

The grey, white clouds in the sky interwoven

I wish I could take a piece of it as a token.

The endless waves rising in the sea,

With the birds flying around so free!

I realized that I am at the end of the world.

It is here where I found the new beginning,

Of life’s another brand new inning

Another chance I am ready to take

Don’t know if my heart will mend or break

It’s been so long since I have seen the stars,

Without the inhibition of being so far!

So here I start with the thoughts very few

So at the end of the world I write my story anew!

Its all around!

In a blink it comes, in a blink it goes!

It’s like a mirage for all you know.

I can see it with my eyes open

I can feel it in my sleep so often

It’s like my lover’s arms all around me

It’s like the soft caress with love so free

It’s the desire that makes me smile

It’s the thought Oh! So free of guile

It’s not only for me, but also for the life around

It’s available on the earth in leaps and bound

It’s called Hope, the tiny little thing

It’s like a dope, with a heady feeling

It gives you a chance, a new wish, a chance to heal

It makes you cling to your life with a little more zeal

Though it is fragile,

Comes and goes on its own like

But it’s still there all around

Available on the earth in leaps and bound!

The art of giving!

At times, Happiness is not just merely a word!

It’s an experience, a heartfelt and wholesome experience

It doesn’t come to you by itself; it comes to you by giving

Life is not always about yourself and your own!

It’s about the people, whom you love and some of them totally unknown

For people talk about the art of living

All I believe is in the art of giving.

Leave the worries aside, do something for others

You’ll find your pain has a lesser meaning; cause the pain around is much more.

Be thankful to nature that you are alive and healthy

And nature with thank you in return, though in ways which are stealthy

Life is to live, to be alive but sometimes not only for you but for others lives!

Romeo and Juliet!

Romeo met Juliet on the road!

Asked her “You be my princess and I be your toad!

Kiss me once and make me new

You are the one I need of few!”

Juliet seemed to be unimpressed

And Said

“Oh your love is nothing new,

But, What I want can you do?

For I don’t ask for the sun or the moon,

I don’t care if you are a king or a goon.

All I want is your promise of forever

You'll not leave me whatsoever!”

Romeo was happy, as he though it as a promise easy to make

So he said, “Oh I promise the love forever, for I’ll leave you never!”

On this the Juliet said, “It’s not easy as you say,

As my promise is more than a fray

I want you to live, if I die!

Your strength is the one on which I rely!

For if you live I’ll survive

In your dreams our love will revive

Then will it be a tale on which lovers thrive!”

Romeo smiled though with tears in his eyes

And said, you are the one I am living for,

You have given me the happiness, I couldn’t imagine more

But if this is your will and this is your choice

I’ll do no more and rejoice

For I’ll live and I’ll love,

I’ll make the living worth

For it is not the glory I’ll flaunt;

To live in your memories is all I want!

Life as we Call It!

So many wheels moving on the road,

People with their hearts half with god!

So many hopeful eyes waiting for the bus,

 All their minds working from dawn to dusk!

It’s life as they call it

It’s a game we everyday play!

There are rules and no rules        

Paths we follow sometimes like a mule!

Stop here for second; give your life a serious thought!

You live on nature's terms whether you like it or not!

But, it still is your life; it still is your world

Make it better place till you think you have reversed the odd!

She Kept Standing on the Shimmering Street!

She kept standing on the shimmering street, 

In spite of the scorching heat,

Hoping that he would come and meet,

And like a doll’s treat,

He was hardly capable of such a feat,

Then too,

She kept standing on the shimmering street…

Thinking of days gone by,

She took a deep sigh,

And kept herself a lie,

That it is worth giving a try,

She kept standing on the shimmering street….

At day’s end she looked back,

Of time she had lost track,

And patience she never did lack,

So she thought someone will come back

Yet again he did not come,

Yet again she dint go home,

 And,

She kept standing on the shimmering street….

It wasn’t surprising,

That the moon was now shining,

But her heart was still whining,

For she still wished to find the silver lining,

Just feeling her heart melt,

Emptiness she never before felt,

With eyes damp, looking like a tramp,

She lit the same old lamp,

Taking out the now weathered dairy,

Still hoping for the wish-fairy,

She Wrote the same old story,

Still wishing for days of glory,

She kept standing on the shimmering street…

But,

Sometime, somewhere this has to end 

The impossible dream needs to be mend

Life doesn’t stop, nor does the living

For she’s a pure soul, and surely needs loving

So it will happen, the liveliness will come

The tears will dry; happiness is all she’ll hum 

And still she’ll go to her long lost soul

The soul she lost standing on the shimmering street!

So She Thought!

And so it broke,

The fragile hope

So it shattered the heart of glass

Leaving the pain on its own to pass

It will take its toll,

It will destroy her whole

For what she thought as the ultimate dream

It has become an incarcerated scream

It longs to escape,

She can only sit and gape!

But

 She knows she’ll survive, because that’s what she has been taught

She knows she’ll live because this life is all she got

Though her eyes will not shine

But her mouth will not let out any whine

And this time will pass

Making the ache as permanent as brass

But she’ll survive because on her shoulder a responsibility lies

She’ll live because only living will remind her of his lies!

I Found My Heaven!

I found my heaven in the arms of joy!

It’s lovely; it’s lively and empty of ploy!

Though I know it will go away,

I have very few moments to stay and sway!

But it still is mine,

It’s captured forever in my time! 

It’s a dream I cherish for!

It's a laugh I relish for!

It’s here where I am,

It’s there wherever you are!

It’s my hope, it’s my life!

Doesn't matter if it gives me strife!

And it still is mine!

Captured forever in my time! 

The Virtue and The Vice!

If you have a virtue, u surely do have a vice!

If you think you are good, go look in the mirror twice!

If ugly is bad, then beautiful is not awesome either!

What you become is what you choose, God does force you neither!

Life is not fair is all we complain,

But then why do we misuse all that we gain!

What lies in us is the truth of our self

Hiding it under the mask is a sin in itself!

The beauty around is in abundant

Dwelling on the past is useless and redundant!

So take the moment as it comes

Enjoy the life as a guitar’s strum!

For I Do Believe!!

And here I am standing with a life to tow

Which way to take I absolutely don’t know

Is it for me or for the benefit of others?

It’s become nothing but a big black smother!

With muddled thoughts, I pass my days

My day goes in a hurry and night in a daze

For its not the life I am confused with

It’s the living that has held me in a writhe!

But I believe in my rule, the rule of nerve.

And I believe I will survive with a vigor and verve!

Even if the haze is dense and the maze unsolvable

There lies a courage which is possible and probable!

For every end there a beginning brand new

The meaning of loss depends on what u construe! 

Indeed a Displaced Frame!!

The rain and the sun, but no rainbow in sight

My wings got clipped, before I could take a flight!

Now Life seems like a displaced frame

With characters put in angles so lame!

Then People ask, what is life?

What is the design behind this strife?

And I am perplexed as I have no counter

It is yours! U have to find an answer!

I have enough already on my hands

I wish I had a magic wand!

So I could help you and straighten my stance

But then it’s unfair to call life mean

For it gives you chances umpteen

How u make it is all yours to decide

You love it or hate it u have to reside! 

Mind, the Master!

At the end of the day, when I go to sleep

A thought always crosses my mind!

What is it you got? What is it you want?

And then the wretched nostalgia creeps up!

Leaving me with a feeling that I am confined

And then I realize, you don’t have to be alone to be lonely,

For in a crowd of thousand also you are one and only

You don’t have to be illogical to be insane,

For in this madness also there is disdain.

And my mind becomes an abode for confusion

I wonder between reality and illusion!

Then my mind fights back, breaking the shackles

Granting me a control to hold my prattle

Impossible becomes a word undefined

Past happen to a shell left behind

So at the end it’s the mind who’s the master

Heart follows it like God pursued by a pastor!

Just Like That!

People come and people go!

You make your friends and recognize your foe!

Life is unpredictable for all u know

You either explore or go with the flow!

So, I find myself lost in this ink,

It’s just to express what I think!

For all who says rhyming is a Ghost,

This one's for u to remind that all is not lost!

For you my Friend!

I got a gift in the world so mean,

For when I am broken I know where to lean,

 You bring a smile to my lips,

You hold me always in my dips

With you I am like a book all open

I am like a mirror not broken!

I discovered myself with your support

You made me understand the life’s purport

Together we made mistakes and enjoyed stupidity,

We had serious discussions on lucidity

 It time for me to thank you for all you have done

For I would have been lost without you none!

I wish that I have your friendship forever

I hope that the bond remains whatsoever 

It’s a token of appreciation for you my friend

It just the beginning and there’s no end! 

Human but not Humane!!

Now when the world is rapidly changing, where we need to cope with the nature's fury every now and then, we are still caught in the shackles of man-made devil called “Religionism”. What is it? Having faith in a religion is fine but enforcing it on other and killing people for this is absurd!  There are masses, who in-spite of being from different religions believes in one God, “The God of Humanity”. Just Yesterday in the news was the story of a Hindu couple, who adopted a parent-less girl who probably is a Muslim. They found her next to a blast site in Hyderabad and got her home. For few months nobody came to claim for the child, so they started raising her as their own daughter. Now after 4 years, the so called religious sects have started threatening them of a social boycott and they want the girl to go to an orphanage! How much more insane can it be?? The child, who’s getting the love and support of two lovely parents they want her to go to an orphanage only because she’s supposedly a Muslim!!

The above is just a small example of how illogical can these few people be!! It’s high time we rise above this idiocy and start behaving like human beings should more humane!!

Wanderlust!

an ache for distance, a crave for travel

I long to find my own gravel!

Is it madness or a passion unknown?

I ought to take this path all alone!

It’s all in my thoughts; it’s all in my dreams

It’s all around me in its own seam

It’s for me to explore my unknown self,

To find out the hidden desire of this sylph

But where the end is? Where is the beginning?

Will I be able to match the time wheel spinning?

I sleep with these questions; I wake up with this twinge

I live all the time on this dream - reality fringe

But I know I’ll reach my destination unseen

The time will come when my thoughts reconvene! 

Catching Fire!

I got a dream, standing on the edge

I stopped a scream escaping the ledge

I jumped and tried to reach the sky

I fell on my face, learning to fly

For I sure have wings, only don’t know how to employ

I sure have a heart to dare life’s ploy

For I am I fish with flying dreams

I am the water capturing sunbeam

In my thoughts and In my desire

I am the one who’ll catch the fire!

It could be you, me or anyone for that matter!

This note is dedicated to a girl named sweety, who was raped and murdered two weeks back at my hometown. Her muderers are still at large with police and administration doing very little to find them. Sweety is not the first victim of such a crime, in our country where we boast of being a very rapidly developing nation still women is treated like this. With this note i just want to bring to your attention that something similar can happen next door if we are not consious and if still not start treating women with the respect and dignity they desrve.  if you guys feel this support can make this cause more meaning then go ahead and post this on your profile and join the page below: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-For-Sweety/192607547452172

She was a lovely girl, with bright eyes and hair unfurled

She had dreams and she had joy,

She was bubbly as well as coy

She walked on her path without fear

She lived in her dreams without a sneer

But who would have thought what lies in the future?

Who would have thought someone had eyes on her stupor

For the danger lurked beneath the darkness

For someone’s malice had reached its starkness

She was taken, her soul destroyed

Her dreams were pushed in the deep dark void

For her slayer is out there, still at large

No one to help the family whose love parched

For they lost their princess, they lost their hope

They struggle very day to live and to cope

Is there no one accountable for this loss?

Or will we still sleep and live in this gloss

It’s time we wake up and fight for this cause

It’s time we free the society from the sin and its claws!

The Lonely Child!

The lonely child, with her open eyes,

Looks at the moon, and searches the sky!

She longs for her toy, she longs for the joy,

She longs for the hug, she innocently ploy.

 It’s not her fault that life has taken this turn

And she has become the butter well churned!

But she has to fight, she has to survive,

 She has to overcome her every fright!

She has dreams and she has the desires

She has the imagination out of your lair

She is never alone as the loneliness is her friend

She is not weak as in her tears lies her strength!

One day the world will be hers and the life she desires

One day the dreams will take the shape she conspires!

But then the present is what that really matters

For she only hopes her dreams doesn’t shatter

So the days pass with a passing thought

Every day in her life she has only fought

And today she’s young with mind matured

She has her verve with freedom assured

But she still longs the love, which was never hers

She still long for the trance, her tears blur! 

Some Day!

Someday I'll find what I actually want,

Someday I'll value what life flaunts 

This is the dream I see with my eyes open,

For some realities of life better be forgotten!

Someday I’ll have a magic wand

And I’ll fly away to the distant land

I’ll swim in the sky and float in the streams

And give a new direction to my dreams

Someday I’ll find where the rainbow ends

Someday I’ll have my own colors well blend

That someday will come I truly believe

For life is a dare, how I perceive

As it’s always the destiny unknown

With numerous path and you are always alone

So live your dreams while all you can

For the end to come is always wan

Quest!

She was sitting alone in a deserted field

Her face was cloaked and eyes concealed

I called her name, a lovely dame

She looked at me with eyes full of pain

I asked her, what made you cry,

Who made your lovely eyes run dry?

Is there something I can do?

Find something lost to you?

She glanced at me and said

I am just miserable cause I have a grudge

Life has always been a lonely trudge

Where is the love, which I dream?

Where is someone to hold when I scream?

And I looked at her perplexed

For the same questions have me vexed

Is it always that you live alone?

Or you find someone of your own

For I am still searching the meaning of my life

How will I ever overcome this strife?

Will time be the best healer?

Or will it be the biggest stealer

So let these questions be forsaken

For the quest of life never be mistaken!

For the one i Love!

And I opened my eyes in the new light

Just wanted to hold something really tight

For my face had shades of Joy and Fear

For I wanted to understand all I hear

And then comes a lady smiling at me

All the time lovingly eyeing at me

She picked me up and embraced me as a dear toy

She told me that I am her bundle of joy

She taught me life, she taught me love

She made me strong to face the world

I felt the heaven in her arms

She protected me from all the harm

Today on this day I want her to know

It’s only because of you I glow

For life changes and so everyone

But for me Mamma you are the only one

For the time I live till the time I die

It will be only your Spirit in my eye

its all about life!!: A Man with a Face!!

A Man with a Face!!

I saw a man with a laggard pace

Curly hair and a haggard face

He had tired eyes and stooped back

But his hand still working with a complete knack

Guess he had a duty and a creed

He had a lucky few to feed

He found his joy in his pain

He didn’t let the tears go in vain

He told me,

Life ain’t easy is what he believed

For he always smiled and never grieved

So I too replied with a smile

“I believe in your hopes and your beguile

The journey of your life will be worthwhile

Just live your dreams and follow your heart

For you have won a battle very well fought!!”

Dream of life!

For my dreams are few but very true

They are the color of nothing but misty hue

My love is there in the distant land

 I close my eyes & can hold it in my hand

For all my dreams weave a shade

Of colors unknown and deeper than haze

I play with colors and I play with the light

With all my strength and all my might

I hope for hope and live for life

For I never walk but only fly
