Tiptoeing Through Life
The distance,
it seems longer
and the journey,
it seems harder
Walking through life,
tiptoeing, escaping,
shards of broken heart
and shattered dreams
Evading the pieces
scattered on the floor,
the feet are safe
but the heart hurts more
Memories, bitter and sour
cause more pain
than a piece...
The Burden Of Hope
I spent all my days
striving for a distant dream
driven by ambition, fuelled by hope
All I have left now
are memories of each futile attempt
and pieces of broken dreams that pierced my heart
I wish I was careless
living each day for what it was meant...
Be Like The Moon, My Son
“Be like the moon, my son, be like the moon”, said the guru,
glancing kindly at the disciple.
The disciple was perplexed.
Is the guru asking me to be like the moon that waxes and wanes?
The moon that causes the disturbances in the ocean’s waters and people’s minds?

Plea Of A Broken Heart
No longer can I feel
How I felt about her
My heart has forgiven her
No longer can I remember
What I felt for her
My mind has forgotten her
But I still feel the pain
The pain in my heart
The heart broken by her
I know not...
A Heart's Suicide
I woke up to a bird’s song
on a beautiful day
to bright sunshine
Yet I felt nothing
Nothing in my heart
No joy, no elation
My heart, it had quietly died
While I slept, it committed suicide
And left behind a note
A note that said
I am...
The Rat Race
Standing amidst all the racers
His legs refuse to run
Walking amidst all the winners
His tongue refuses to lie
Living amidst all the achievers
His heart refuses to cheat
He prepares his body to leap forward
He prepares his mind for the march onward
A tiny voice stops...
Am I In Love?
She glides past me,
like an angel’s feather
I feel a cool breeze,
in scorching weather
The touch of her tresses
made wind break tether
Am I in love?
A glance from her,
and I feel my whole being flutter
I try to talk to her,
but tongue starts...
Death Of A Dream
His dream had died, yet he did not mourn
For he had barely noticed that it was born
He had no time to notice its birth and to let it live
He had work to do, to ensure his people survive
He knew that this was not the fate...
Pain Makes Me A Writer
I write
Write with pain as my quill and tears as my ink
Write with my broken heart as my muse
Write with my sighs as my words
Everyone can read what I write
But I alone can know the meaning
Everyone can understand what I write
But I alone...
Life Is What You Call It
Life brings joy and we laugh
It brings sorrow at which we scoff
Both are true, but for a moment
Why spend more time, in joy or torment
Both come uninvited, both go away too
Let them not leave any marks on you
Laugh too much and your stomach will...
It is time to wake up !
We dissect, dissect into sects
We unite, unite into groups
We want someone to give us a reason to start a fight
We need someone to stand with us, adding to our might
We need an enemy whom we can resent and hate
We need a friend to support us...
The Dilemma
There are times when I think I must hold on
There are times when I can’t and just let go
There are moments when I think I must fight on
There are moments when I lose hope and just lie low
Mind wanders from time to time
Thoughts change from...
