A painter

He painted what he liked
and painted most of the time
no social acceptance he waited for
and thus his works were original to a point

he experimented and created something new
each time he started to paint
he wanted to show a different world every time
unseen ,unnoticed, unimagined

richness of his paintings lay in
that they spoke so clear and loud
that everyone would feel compelled to turn
to hear what it says

his paintings were so different
that they could not be classified into any mould
as he was himself in real life
a free bird; fearless,unpredictable,charting its own course!

Billion dreams

I am not into politics
but I want everyone to work for seven billion people
I am no academic
but I want everyone to learn more
I don't have a creative streak
but I strongly support technology and its enormous reach
What I am not and where I don't stand
I want everybody to achieve their dreams
Talent and hard work sow such seeds
and nurture them carefully
in due season let them sprout
and in their own time
they shall become trees
each one with its own fruit
I am no dreamer
yet I want to live in seven billion dreams!

Poetry

Poetry is the language of the heart
have a heart to say what one wants
and a poem is composed
that gives away one's heart
Everyone is a poet
when the heart takes over
and let it be so
the world needs more poets!

Heart talk

When agitated don't speak
just listen to your heartbeat
calm down and be at peace
let your heart beat
at its own natural rhythm
it's your own heart
be in harmony with it
listen with your heart
when others speak
and let your heart speak
when the need be
the hearts talk best
in peace and harmony!

The bird flies away

The bird flies away
on its new wings
the old wings
be good and fine
but the game is over
at the allotted time


time marches ahead
life is divided
when the first part is over
the second begins
where there is no time
no space
just eternity

to cross over is
an undeniable certainty
not knowing when
living every breath
and suddenly
the time whistles
it's the end!

Walk in peace

Dwell in the forests
among the birds and trees
cause the world is selfish
it will not let one live
But can one leave the world
and yet be very much in it
thousand paths are there
none of them brings peace

Carve a new path therein
right wherever one is living
that untouched by the world
one may walk in peace!

Noble soul

We may be no more
but not our soul
we are just a vehicle
on which travels our soul
vehicles change
but none drives the soul
wherever we go
the soul knows
nothing can be kept
away from one's soul
why not do something
to raise our soul
that we feel blessed
with a noble soul!
