Think over

Listen carefully

And hear well

What one says

And that also

What one says not

What may click

One knows not

You may not hear again

What you earlier heard not

Weigh your words

So that they don't hurt

Bruises that you cause

With your mouth

Are your debts

To be repaid

With full interest

Do something good

Or do nothing

If your actions

Make a heart heavy

You conscience becomes

At the least, doubly heavy

Good deeds remain

Deeply etched

In collective memory

Generations shall remember

What good you did

Which shall be there to see
For years, decades and may be centuries many!

Motivation

Oh! My sweetheart

My motivation, my soul, my all

Don't bend, stand tall

For if you look down

How shall I see the stars

Be ahead of me

So that I follow thee

I slow down

But you tire not

When I take rest

A little too much

You shake me hard

And up on my feet again, I walk

When you sit on a high pedestal

I look into your eyes, not blinking at all

How majestic and beautiful is my sweetheart

Distracted only once I was, my misfortune

When I looked back, nothing was there, nothing at all

I pleaded with apologies and what not

She felt hurt

She took to heart

Her beloved, she wondered

Did he love her

As much as she thought

I promised that I shall never look away

May be I am in the midst of a turbulent sea

Or a heavy storm from all sides lashing me

She is my hope, my confidence, my breath

I shall hold her hand and will never let her go away

But if she frees herself and goes far up into the sky

And appears a small dark circle, or a tiny dot

Which the hem of her skirt defines

My soul then shall also rise

To merge with that tiny dot

Which the hem of her skirt defines

Me and my motivation shall be one

Sitting at His blessed feet!

Casual silver

He is careless

His world is different
Casual in everything

Seriousness is foreign to him

Right or wrong

Are mere words to him

What he says and does

Has no logic in it

He sets his eyes high

But plays dice with his life

Get everything on demand
Why slog for it

He masters things inconsequential

All else  matters not to him

World is like a disco

Social networking a religion to him  

He gives his best to funny pranks

Emotions and feelings are far from him
Yet it is fun to be by his side

One instantly become like him

But when the need arises

He is the first to reach

In help and giving

Only a few can equal him!

  

Lovers

If  heart were a fairy

The mind her knight

One races

The other flies

Amazing love stories

Keep one tongue tied

Hands shake

The thoughts fly

What to capture

How to write

There is so much

That comes to light

Stories upon stories

Lie buried inside

Such as those

Which words fail to describe

Heart a fairy

Mind her knight

Lovers such as these

Heart and mind

One races, the other flies

Day passes, when comes the night

Wide awake they remain, the whole night

Their love so mad, none other to find!

Flight

Those who have wings

Shall  fly

Some of us

Who are grounded

Grow wings

And learn to fly

Those who crawl

Move only a little about

That's all

Birds who fly in formation

They look so elegant

 And captivating is their flight

There are some birds

Who leave the group

And try something new

They have the zeal

And much steel

To go on a different trajectory

There are a few

Less than a few

Who go up and up

In the rarefied air

Enduring and struggling

And reach the higher of the heights

Likewise it is with men

When they march in formation

It is a sight to watch

There are some of them

Who soar high

To pluck the stars

We are the torch

And they its flame

When we go

Where goes the flame

Our world stands lifted

And it is no longer the same!

Utopian

In a far corner by the side of a small village

They make their dream home

Determined, and way out

Of their comfort zone

The surroundings natural

But every conceivable technological facility

They bring to their new home

A few hundred people

Who give their all

To create a living paradise

On a small plot

And carry thousands of poor locals along

How commendable and noble their job

But  this paradise comes at enormous cost

They have the means and a big heart

It gives them happiness, no doubt

But reality remains far and cut off

However, there are some brave hearts

Who remain where they are

And face the reality bang on

The world is as we make it

Not an island, but the whole of it

Some make it a boxing ring

And some a stage to play

Yet others make it their home

Because they are of the world

And the world one family as a whole

Running away from reality

May give temporary peace

But hats off   to those

Who live in filth, yet float clean

If an Island one makes

An  island it remains

It has its charm awhile

Which in time fades away

If you sanitize a piece of land

It remains cut off from the mainland

If heaven itself descends on that piece

What is that to the world, which remains as it is

We need people who remain grounded

All over the face of the earth

And at each nook and corner

To nurture nature and its various life forms

And to make a difference to one and all

If we are men indeed

We all are of one creed

And the world is our home

Every  bit of it

Earth is our shield

And sky our dream

We shall rise together

And make a new world of our dreams!

Veil

Behind a thin veil

I have seen her pass

How majestic her walk

I remain thirsty for a glance

Once in a while

When she lifts her veil

What beauty I see

My heart stops without fail

Her eyes sparkle

Her cheeks dazzle

Her lips seductive

A mole sits pretty on her face

I look into her eyes

Her gaze distant

A subtle smile

Make her presence different

I love her so much

Each and every moment

And when she is not there

I wait every moment

Whether she also loves me

It never bothers me a moment

But I yearn for my beloved

Each and every moment

God must be feminine

I see Him in her every moment!
