My Mind - The Barrier

My mind destroys my resolve
It stirs a storm in the halls of my heart
I could have blown mountains with my breath
Only my mind did not let me start

I sought to fly high in the sky
Though wind was mocking, yet my wings drew nigh
But then my mind let out a sigh..
And I knew that instant....I wouldn't fly
The courage I had to shed blood and slay
I wished that my crusade could last all day
"How strong he is" I heard people say
But then at the corner, I heard my mind neigh
"Though thou art strong thou art still made of clay..
Don't orphan your children, let them grow let them play.."

And then I lost my strength and vigour
To survive became my ambition, to live, my only rigour..

I loved to swim the violent seas..
To tame the wildest jungles and do as I please..
And then my mind tamed me one day...
I could not revolt as I had nothing to say

My mind was thinking to make me live
But in return for life, my freedom I had to give..
Then all of a sudden my subdued heart gave a cry..
So I killed my apprehensions and aimed for the sky...
Today there is nothing that I am afraid to try...
I live life as if tomorrow I may die..

Someone asked me if my mind was acting as a barrier to my thoughts and expression......this was my reply....

Cigar aur Beer

smoke cigar
go to the bar
drive ferrari car
Doston se lo udhar
becho ghar dwar
par piyo shauk se cigar...

pite pite mar jaana hai
mummy papa ki dant khana hai
par ciggarette ko jaroor jalana hai
aur doston mein dhuan udana hai
har puff ke saath udaenge zindagi
har shot ke saath lutaenge zindagi
yehi to hai mazza zindagi ka
yehi ek jazza zindagi ka.............

phir ek din us dhuen mein ham
dheere dheere ho jayenge kam
mummy ki ankhein hongi nam
lete hue aakhri dam....
kahenge sab se......

kitna kuch karna tha...
abhi to nahi marna tha...
par dhuen mein udayi zindagi..
botal mein sadayi zindagi...
lekin bhagwaan ne nahi badhayi zindagi...

A poem in Hinglish....a mixture of hindi and english.....not tongue in cheek humour but an attempt at the same.....written to make those ignorant fools aware of their folly..
