Stay strong little fellow!

Stay strong little fellow, 

You've come a long way.

Breathe slowly dear friend,

It's just a bad day.

You've fallen several times,
But got up on your own.
You were hurt and betrayed,
A friend turned into a foe.

You limped your way out,
Left the dungeons behind.
It wasn't your fault dear,
Don't curse, be kind.

Fear not little fellow,
You did come a long way.
Give some time to yourself,
It eventually will be okay!

Show Is Over!

The time has come for you to be free,
Take a bow and then take your leave.

The curtains are down, the show is over,

Well done my friend, it could've happened sooner.

The script has been finally put down to rest,

I will handle from here, please don't fret.

You've played your role, taken your applause,

And now I will proceed, without a pause.

Pack up your bags and take your costumes too,

This play will run the course, in its savoured solitude.

For My Mother!

I wrote this poem 7 years ago after my mother passed away on 31st March 2006. 

This was one of the first few poems I wrote. Sounds pretty kiddish at some points.

And oh that kid is me.

She was a true reason to smile,

to make others happy she would

travel several miles.

She was like a light in darkness,

would snatch away all that sadness.

She sacrificed, she compromised,

all her life through,

a gem of a person, so loyal and true.

Her honesty and loyalty can never be measured,

her moments with me, will always be treasured.

Her laughter brought happiness in the air,

How much I miss her, I see her everywhere.

She never complaint, how torturous was the pain,

all those prayers, all went in vain.

Her absence in the house is deeply felt,

with all this stress, my heart seems to melt.

I can’t figure out, what to do,

how to manage things and my life too.

She didn't deserve to go away so early,

she loved us all, so truly and deeply.

No one can fill the emptiness she left,

its getting tougher and tougher for me to accept.

My heart inside, seems to shatter,

Her, I need, nothing else matters.

I really wish, to turn back time,

life would then have, a reason to rhyme.

Why GOD took her away from me,

we were living the moments of

happiness and glee.

So strongly she believed, trusted HIM,

she wanted to be happy, wanted to live.

HE shattered her trust and ours as well,

such a harsh reality, so hard to dwell.

Life seems so impossible, to live it through,

I really need someone, as special as You.

Oh, how I wish to see you again,

the tears have dried, my heart is in pain.

It Can Never Be The Same Again.

Sometimes life and things get complicated beyond repair, we try and we aim to fix them but mostly we are disappointed.
Mostly, it's the attachments and expectations which ruin us.. Many argue that attachment is a part of a healthy relationship whereas I believe now, that its the attachment which hurts the most.. Be it family, friends or love. The heart ache that attachments give are beyond any remedy and we often end up losing parts of us. Parts that mostly break you and you are never able to gather yourself back again. We fix it, like we fix a torn paper with tape, but it never is and can never be the same.
That's exactly how I feel. I've been torn apart and without a second thought I fixed myself assuming I'll be the same again without realising it is all a delusion without any link to reality.

Life itself, is something to dread!

What this universe conspires is still unknown,

We walk in circles, unaware and untold.

Life unfolds the mysteries within,

Slowly and gradually they are awakened.

We blame our twisted selves for what was lost,

Without realizing it wasn't our fault.

Life traps us in unaccustomed mysteries,

And we are sucked into pain and misery.

Despite of what shook the strength out of us,

We get along with life and begin to trust.

Without realizing what awaits us ahead,

Since Life itself, is something to dread.

Not stronger than a Twig!

It hurts and aches as I cling on to dear life. 

The courage has disappeared and so has the pride.

I'm weak and vulnerable not stronger than a twig, 

I can't find a way out no matter how far I dig.

I'm walking in circles aimless and clueless,

Never in my life have I felt this helpless.

Why has my life become so difficult to steer,

I took each step with precision and care.

I've been scarred and hurt beyond repair,

I've lost so much what else is there to fear?

They say God doesn't test you more than you can bear,

But maybe He lost my record or maybe He doesn't care!

One dilemma after the other.

One dilemma after the other, that's what life holds,

And it eventually will be okay, we are often told.

How true this statement is, no one is aware,
But questioning the destiny? Now who would ever dare?

Despite of every stumble and every painful fall,
We get up, dust our clothes and again stand tall.

Whatever is meant to happen it always does,
But how to cope with it, that's all the fuss.

The light near the tunnel does give hope,
We might finally reach before the doors are closed.
