An Apple's worth

Just another day; driving like a programmed machine, eyes on the road, hands behind the wheels.     

Brain multitasking; meetings and presentations planned for the day constantly preempting all else with a free will.

All this while limbic system sending interrupts about the breakfast I had given amiss.

Just like always; I knew where to see, in times like these my laptop bag turns into a fortune cookie,

This time I find an Apple, not much good for me, without much thought I just push it back in.

As I stopped on the next signal, I saw an old man sitting at edge of the street, he looked very sad and hungry so I gave the Apple to him.   

Gladly he accepted the reward and showered blessings on me, was it summer sun or I saw a tear roll down his cheeks.

It was so humbling, what an Apple’s worth could mean.

Thank you sister

Happy Birthday Brother :)

Maybe it’s by God's grace or it was destined this way,

Happiness came all along its way cos' its my brothers birthday.

When he is around there is nothing to bother, introvert is he says my father,

My mom's food sways his memory away, let him relish fried chicken and burger's today, cos' its my brothers birthday.

His vision is clear, strives to be  perfect in all the ways, be it his weight ;-)

O hear the voices, the whole universe will pray cos its my brothers birthday.

you and me

Let me free you from the world as you see it, embark on journey to a place where dreams are real,
Let me take your hand and help you along the way, troubles are left behind, only love pervades.

I'm your guardian, I'm your friend.
Whether you hate me or love me, I shall be there in all humility.

Faith

Smile through your troubles, whining is for weak,
Eyes still glittering with hope, shouldn't you succumb to this ordeal.
Writing letters to god, naive as it may seem,
Thank almighty for everything, cos' darker the night; sweeter the break of the dawn is.

In your eyes

Many a things heart wants to convey, 
Overwhelmed with emotions, yearning to share,
But when I look in your eyes, at loss of words I find myself yet again.


How can I put in words the mist covered mountains.
How can I pen down music echoed by drops of rain.
Happiness, I suppose, for no other feeling stirs my soul this way.

Perceptions

Confusions, chaos, life in disarray, reveals a look from the top,
Cacophony of sins, thumping on the heart,
Shadows of desires, chasing down till your last drop,
Bleeding of greed, lost all when eventually you part.

How humane are the humans, the only intelligent life in cosmos.
How is it evolution, when beast inside is devoid of pathos.
How can we claim of congnizance, nothing much has changed afterall.

Dreams, hopes, faith in lord, dwells in the conscience,
Labors for change
Prays with the heart,
Free like a bird, discerns reason of nascence.

Why do we live in dark, stars shines for one and all.
Why to loose faith, prayers are answered, whatever befalls.

Conversations

Elevated high above the ground, clouds are in reach,
Summon your fervor, Conquer thou me.

Paths are ominous,
Winds boisterous,
Stones and boulders spread around,
Walking towards the peak, feet may get bound.

Valiantly you fight, expedition beseeches all your might,
Serenity at summit,
Wind glides,
Heart gets overwhelmed at the sight.

Bewilderment inside convenes, do mighty mountains speaketh to me.

Blues profuse the surface, perturbed waves in disarray,
See beyond the bay,
Come, sail unto me, Thou shall outstay.

Turbulence dissolves. Sins absolve. Life evolves.
Tranquility and peace,
Come, dive deep inside of me.

Bewilderment inside convenes, do opulent oceans speaketh to me.

I'm your wish

I'm your wish. You long for me !

Greens and rains always occurs in unison..
I'm illusion, when in seclusion.
Wishes can come true..
if only one labors for me.

I'm your wish. Set me free !

I want to fly high..
high above the foggy clouds, where stars never loose their sheen.
Wishes can come true..
if only we give them wings.

Quest

The world outside is screaming, he hears all they have to say.
Water absorbs everything, surface remains the same,
Pride is his virtue with humility he explains.
The world outside is pushing, on the edge he remains,
Paths maybe treacherous, water paves its way,
Envy is his past kindness now prevails.. he has found for what he came.

She looks into the forest, monkeys screeching jumping fighting for fruits that fell,
Amused at the sight, generously she shares her inner wealth.
She ain't no slave, master of her soul,
Pious in the heart,
With no place for lust to dwell, she don't need no chastity belt.. she has found for what she came.

Blistering is the sun, sand dunes feeling the burn.
Oasis are always fed cos' deserts too receive the rain,
Reasons are easy to find, faith is hard to sustain,
They aren't conquered by reasons, reasons are not the same.. they have found for what they came.

Clarity

She gave her all and loved you, like you may,
She promised to be there, always.
Unconditional was her love, but then, there may be days,
When the heart does sway.
Maybe, just maybe, it's not about give and take.

She parted for good, or so did she say,
Scarred from inside, for reasons were unexplained.
Shouldn't you be inconsolable, for it ended this way,
Shouldn't you be asphyxiated, your breath is taken away,
Are you so hollow; even voids need some space.
Maybe, just maybe, heart goes numb when soul parts away.

Wounds have healed, a new dawn breaks,
Hopeful is the heart, basks in sunny day.
Soul connects to god, serenity sustains.
Maybe, just maybe, life goes on come what may.
