With folded hands ..

With folded hands, I prayed to God, why you give me so much love when I don't deserve it all. God said, my child, loving you is not an option, guide you I shall.

.. walking in the sunshine

Here I am searching for words again,

what should I write, what to spare,

lots of bitter-sweet memories, lots to say,

but fool that I am, I realize,

all this while walking in the sunshine, with a candle in my hand hoping to spread the light.

With humility I concede ..

The day to express love, they say,

the day to celebrate togetherness, they say,

make all the promises and shower all the gifts,

for most, that’s the Valentine’s day.

I wish I could find the words to convey, wish I had promises to make, wish I was a better man,

someone worthy of love and sacrifices that you make.

It brings me down to my knees, a blessing you’re to me,

with humility I concede ..

god must be kind, even to the sinners.

You make us all proud

Last year you embarked into new phase of life, an independent girl armed with knowledge stepped into the world outside.

On your quest to find meaning of the life, 

there might be times when you may be perplexed and surprised.

With self-belief and confidence always keep your head high,

remember world is a beautiful place with love in your heart and compassion in your eyes. 

With each passing year, we see you getting wiser,

With each decision that you adhere, we see you getting stronger,

You make us all proud.

Imagine

Staring from a distance, mighty mountains seems so still,
caressing and cuddling with misty clouds, painting a picture of love on the canvas azure infinite.
Go a little closer to hear mother nature playing a symphony serene,
Like a concert playing forever, with sweet vocals provided by hustling sounds of wind.
In chorus are the lush green trees, swaying and singing with the wind,
admiring the performance are the gushing water falls with a thunderous applause.

Imagine.
Without clouds, without trees, without winds, lifeless piece of rock is all that lurks beneath.

On this beautiful day,
I don't have  any promises,
No shiny stones to share,
Like always,
I'll hold your hand and climb the highest mountain peaks,
for I can't imagine a life without you, it would not be complete.

Sunshine

God gives you signs, this day it were to be mine.

Like any other Sunday, I had my brunch on time.

Work had kept me awake previous night but a bright sunny afternoon filled me with life.

I had to meet someone in the evening. Like always, all the questions came rushing back to my mind.

How much can you know a person after meeting the very first time ?  

Will she be the one for me ? 

Do I need more time ?

Questions, certainly keeping me occupied, but I wasn't anxious, 

strange serenity in my heart, calm and confident, that answers I will find.

And after a couple of hours we were there. 

Sitting in a quaint little corner with her mom, waiting patiently for us, she wore a beautiful smile.

We sat opposite to each other and what followed was a pleasant surprise.

Talking like long lost friends, we shared a lot,

conversation was flowing, all else I forgot.

I heard her speak, saw the innocence in her eyes, the truth in her smile,

lost I was, in her sweet embrace and intellectual poise.  

Time flew away and we said our goodbyes.

On our way back we talked about her and everyone was happy to have met her,

but were all my questions answered,  or should I wait for some signs ?

I prayed to god and closed my eyes. There she was, my sunshine.

Respect

I don't need your respect. I only speak the truth, all that follows, I humbly accept.

Epiphany

When an honest man speaks, only with humility, can you perceive.

for this week, that we won't be together ..

I may have all the answers, but still seek solace in probabilities, for they are infinite ....

Just this once

Stars shining in the moonlit sky, since forever burning bright,
like a dust particle, Earth hangs in this cosmos infinite.
What are we here for, what is our quest for life.
Why do we ask questions when we are here for blink of an eye.
What lies beyond the stars, what prevailed before the time.
Just this once, god, give me sight !

To love, forgiving all the time.
To sacrifice, without expectations of any kind.
To pray, forgetting all the hurt inside.
Someone holds that place in your life.
Just this once, god, questions are my answers,
ignorance suffice.
