Me

In Blissful joy I like to wander
Yet what I detest is to venture yonder
But fate it seems is cross with me
And so it guides me back to misery
So I search for those who have and will care
Those with whom my joys and sorrows I can share
Yes I do long for company difficult to get
So that my still unknown existence I shall not regret
And then one day when I am no more
I shall return to hearts as pain so sore
That they will know I shall haunt their memory again
Though dead I shall live when they feel the pain

A description of ME by Myself

Mystic

It is that sinister time again
Darker than darkness night arrives,
In its melancholous splendour over the plains
The silhoutted memory of light and joy
The sweet fields and stalks of grain
Now marooned in gloom, a sombre sense employ.
The sound of silence fills my ears
And my heart swells with unfound fears.
What fiend lurks these murky hours?
What haunts the lands in the light of stars?
Do I imagine or is it true?
In the darkness of hours what secrets brew?
I can hear blood thirsty beasts bay,
A feverish quiver makes me lust for day,
But mysteries of night will never die,
Though someday I surely may...

I had just read "Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the description of the plot in the Novel was so graphic that I instantly got up and had to write this....It haunted me for another two days!

No time for leisure

Arise awake is there the time for slumber??
Enormous difficulties your love has to out number..
Endless heights you shall conquer, but not alone..
In solitude has any star shone??
Go deeper than depth..deeper than the deepest sea..
In search of your love go wherever it may be..
Bend the horizon of emotions with you rigid lust for love..
Don't fall in love, Just Rise !!
Rise in the eyes of the world..Rise in the love of your eyes !!

Perhaps inspired by the fact that we are incomplete without the better half and that lifes battles are not won alone but in company.....good company

Responsive??

seen a life today and heard my mind say..
were you blind or deaf to this day??
it is the pain that I never saw
that was the flaw, in me
and then one day I noticed my fault
and made myself halt
and then seeing their plight
Couldn't I fight
at least for what was right?
Oh yes I could ...
but then I wasn't responsive...

Are we all?? That remains to be answered.....

Come hither

Remind if I go awry off my track
Help me come back
To my own self if I ever astray
From my Firm resolve, my path, my way..
Have I lost control of my able self
Are all my ambitions just for the shelf??
Oh no! It's just that I have forgotten me..
I have forgotten who I used to be..
So wake me up from my dreams
So that I hear my ambitions scream
Wake me up O friend in need
I do require your help, indeed.

Confused?????
Even I am...

Discovering myself

I wake up to a glorious morn
And witness the hurdles on my path
but then I felt the courage that was born
when faith and trust entered my empty heart
All jitters in my mind were gone
and I felt my feet begin to start
on a journey towards the golden dawn
Unaware of my destination
I surrendered to the shallow voice within me
It guided me and I ventured where my capabilities I could see
And I saw the magic that my fingers could do
I saw how blessed is my mind
And I wondered why I wated to mimic a few
when there's none in the world of my kind.

Yes I am too proud.....and haughty.....and arrogant.....so what?

Twinkle Twinkle little star

Bereft, alone in this world you are..
just like a lonely star..
So don't you lose your shine so soon..
Don't shy before the arrogant moon..
Your light is far more sylvan bright
Although far away from human sight
But you do hold a place of awe in their mind
Because you are humble..because you are kind
So don't change when the swift wings of fame you ride..
Where there is fame there is surely pride..
And this pride will go before a fall..
Leaving you in tatters in front of one and all..

Yes I am proud......and haughty.....and arrogant......and I must mend my ways...

The paradox of life

Rocking the cradle to and fro
He wipes the trickling off his brow
His shrunken skin glistens, moist
He picks him up and to the sky he hoists
The huckling laughter of that infant in arms
Fills old Han's empty heart with mirth, and charms
His drowsy soul with enchanting delight
But only Han himself knows the gravity of his plight
No joy can cure his heartache so grim
Every ray of happiness seems so obscured, so dim
For today he has reached the threshold of end
A mysterious beginning, his mind cannot comprehend
Everywhere ther is change, everything is so new
Yet to savour these changes , days seem so very few
He raced back the path of life that he took
He cherished memories, but, one thought came and with grief he shook
As he looked at the new born life in his arms,
He knew now he just had to wait
He now had just one thing to do, Just witness the paradox of fate
And as he left the baby in its cradle, a smile he tried to brave..
For soon..He too shall be in his cradle...
And that cradle shall be his grave...

What is life but a paradox....This thought often comes to my mind....seldom do I put it down on paper....but this time a felt an urge too great and had to give in

Lost A Friend Today

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friend's face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine.. If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
Tomorrow I say I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!- yet miles away,
Here's a telegram sir- Jim died today.
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Saw it on the internet.....and loved it
