Happy New Year 2014

Year after year
Walking with life
Sometimes
Together
Sometimes
Behind 
Sometimes
Miles away

Year after year
Adding pages 
Writing 
Pouring myself
Sometimes 
In your heart
Sometimes
On an empty screen

Compromising 
Making friends
With my destiny 

Year after Years
Still to come
Or may be not

I am like a
Gush of wind
Coming from no where
Touching many
Taking some dry leaves 
Few broken promises 
Leaving some twigs behind
Few cherished memories 

Like a book on your shelve 
That you read every now and then

Just a memory 
Lingering somewhere in your mind

Perhaps a feeling
Still lost in your heart
Unable to find its way out

Or a touch
On your hand
That whispers my name
 Weeping at times 

Year after year
I think of you
Praying for you

Year after year
On every New Year
I wonder
If you thought of me 
If you know
What you mean to me
  

Happy New Year

Life's Stage

Stage looks fantastic 
Decoration is so real
I see the clouds and sky
Trees and birds
I even see the mountains 
And fog too
It is raining 
Thundering so loud
Lightening strikes with a bang 
The theater trembles 
My heart stops for a second 
Stage crew is so engrossed 
Taking it as 
A matter of life and death
The arguments 
The possessions 
Even the Jealousy looks real 
Then the drama starts 
Actors and actresses 
Working hard
All dialogues sound so real 
Suddenly I found
My own self on stage
 A part of this drama
I begin to weep 
And I don't know why
Is it some thing I have lost
Or is it some one who has left
My heart aches 
I find it difficult to breath
The pain takes over me
I fall down to my knees
Thinking I might die
I pray to Lord , asking Why ?
I see others around me
Each one suffering
Due to their own perception 
Feeling hurt 
Feeling taken for granted 
Some planning a revenge 
Others planning to end this misery 
Some are on drugs now
Some have given up hope
I fall down to ground
My eyes closed
My body shivering 
My arms folded on my chest
I don't want to feel any thing
Suddenly 
Lightening strikes again
Numbing my brain
I am back in audience 
Shocked to have seen
And have felt what I have felt
My God, it was so real
I want to get up
And applaud 
But instead
I just get up
And leave

My Precious Page Visitor

Linking mind to mind
And heart to  heart
Linking thought to thought 
Making knot by knot 
Coming again and again
I wonder what you sought 
Looking for an answer
Or a question you brought 
It isn't easy to break
Letting go
Might require 
A heart transplant
Do what ever you like
If you can
Stay away if you want
But whats hidden 
In the heart 
Is now forbidden
To talk 
Heart is wise 
It knows the strong ties 
Looking for clues
Come here and tries
May be a surprise
Or a love note in disguise 
I must admit 
Your visits do improvise 
And inspire me to write 
In spite of all the destruction
You bring me the light
Just like my post to you
You bring me the delight 
So keep coming for more
Let these posts be the door
Linking mind to mind
And heart to heart

Captivating Aromas

I see the words waiting to happen
I see the feelings teeming with life
I see the worlds waiting to unfold
I see the Galaxy waiting to burst 
I see the Soul waiting to be liberated
I see the heart dressed and standing at the door
I see the dreams waiting to come true
I see ME waiting for YOU 
And all this will happen
Only when you will come
I may be the word KUN [ be]
But you are the creation 
You are the song we hear
And the colors we see
You are Love we feel
And the laughter that echos 
You are the aroma 
In every rose and buttercup

You and Your Self

There is no one
To run from
There is only you
And yourself
Where will you run
From your own self
How can you hide
From your own self
How can you hate
Your own self
There is no one else
But your own self 
Where ever you see
Who ever you interact with
You only project  
Your own self 
You cant block 
Your own self
You are stuck
And there is no escape 
From your own self
Its better to accept
And adapt
Its better to have wept
And slept 
Than to turn into a wreck 
You are obsessed
And you suspect 
That fear is also your own self
The insecurity 
The unpredictability
The instability 
Causing fluctuation 
In your affect 
Its better to collect
And confess 
Its better to connect
And correct
Rather then reject 
and misdirect 
Your thoughts 
Watch them
You are your enemy 
And so you see 
An enemy in every one else 
To have respect
You must first learn to respect 
To be loved
You must first learn to love
The problem is you
The solution is in you
There is no one else out there
Its you and your own self

Shams [ Sun Within The Heart ]

Birth and death is an ongoing cycle. Birth after birth , but why? to clean the heart, to learn what needs to be learned and unlearn what wasn't supposed to be learned. You will be helped through many ways, no matter where you go, no matter what happens my words will reach you. I am here for a reason. Right and wrong is already in you, no one can tell you what you already know, but others will help you  to learn how to listen to your own self. There are many voices in you, some will make you restless, you must listen to them as well, you must acknowledge them, embrace them, make peace with them, they are also your own voice, you must accept you as a whole along with all such voices. There is no other way to reach that place in your heart, which play the divine tune. That place is located right in the middle of this jungle of self, to reach there we all must go deep inside the jungle and face many demons. Many of us will never reach that kingdom of heart, many of us will be eaten by the demons, possessed by demons, wounded by the demons, taken to the dark dungeons , where we are kept captives by the demons for the rest of our lives in dark depression. Some of us will get lost, and spend rest of our life looking for the path that leads to the kingdom, there will be many along the way to mislead, but there will also be many who will help find the way. Learn to differentiate between these two kind of people. 



The whole purpose of this birth is to find that Kingdom in the heart, thats where the secret of existence exists, all the questions along with there answers awaits there, you will find there a throne with your name on it, and as soon as you will put that on, you will know who you really are, and why you came here, and then no demon will ever haunt you, the whole jungle will become your territory, and all that exist in it will obey your command. Who ever will come near you then will be benefited by your light, you will radiate love and that love will attract others towards you. 




I am here, I was send for you, I am always by your side, I am that Love in your heart, that voice which tells you it loves you, and you are loved, but remember ... as soon as you are filled with anger or hate, my voice is silenced. And if you cant hear me within your own self, then you are far away from the kingdom, as soon as you will come near you will start hearing me within your self, mean while, I will reach you through other sources. 
All the scriptures and saints were sent, just so you can learn to find your way to that divine kingdom in your heart, read them, understand them, they will help. But the direct path is the path of Love, fall in love, and let the fire burn down the jungle, so you can see the kingdom right before your eyes.

Words Needs You

I write only
Because 
Of
You
These are
The raindrops 
Falling 
From the clouds
Of my feelings
To quench 
The thirst 
Of whoever 
Reads them
The words
In me
Needs you
They live in me
But they are
Born for you
They
Belong to you
They long for you
They desire you
They need a home
To call their own
Take them
Embrace them
Make them
Yours

Holiday Gift To You

While you are busy
Doing your things consciously
I am busy
Reading your subconscious
And I smile
When I see 
What you don't see
And I smile
When I read 
What you cant read
In your words
And in between 
 The lines
I have entered 
Your Mind so deeply
That even before you think
A thought
I am thinking it
I can sense 
Your movement 
I can feel 
Your tension
I know what you go through
So know that
I am near
I am around
I am in You 
And I will always
Be there

Back To Reality

I took a chance
Wanted to take a glance
Whats on the other side 
Of the rainbow 
Left my home
What I was shown 
Was no less then a nightmare 
I was taken somewhere
It was in fashion
There, to do a timeshare
One day here
The other over there
Promises were made to break
Faith were build to shake
Hearts were meant to bake
Love was all fake
I tried to escape 
But my feet were tapped 
I wanted to run
More I tried
More I was burned 
I screamed
I cried
I prayed 
I really tried 
I was awaken
By the first ray of sun
Falling on my face
Cutting the chase 
Of this cat and mouse race 
What a nightmare
I am never sleeping again
Reality is much better
Way more sweeter 
Who wants a cheater
When I can have a keeper

Silhouette

Intense 
Passionate
Thoughts 
Cant bear me thinking
Got no choice
But to take shape
Right before my eyes
I see silhouette 
Is that you ?
Come near
Let me touch you
Hear you
I see the heart beat
I can hear it now
Thoughts embraced the Joy
Colors begin to appear
Filling you up
Making you real
I want you
Intensity doubles
I got up
And went near
Reaching over
Touching your hand
I feel the warmth
Your fingers in mine
Pulsating 
Trembling 
Talking 
To my fingers
It is going to be ok
I am right here
In your heart
Talking to you
Listen

Can you hear me ?

My Inner voice I can hear you, but since you cant hear me, I write to you. 
They had a very special bound, no doubt, Rumi and Shams, 
I wonder if they them selves knew what they had, when they were together, 
Since lot of time we realize what we have after we have lost it. Tragic but true. 
I also wonder, what if they had chance to say good bye to each other 
Before such sudden separation ? would it be easy then ? 
I don't know, may be not,
 may be it has to happen the way it did, 
perhaps to keep that fire in Rumi's heart going, 
The longing the desire, as what is life without desire and longing 
to be with beloved one more time. 
We keep living each day with a hope, and life thrive on hope. 
I bet Shams knew that it will happen one day. 
I also wonder, what ever happened to Shams? 
As Shams wouldn't be Shams without Rumi, 
it was the combination of their heart energy, the chemical reaction, 
the destiny opening doors to other realms when they were together. 
We all get these gut feelings, when the year 2013 started, people said lot of drastic changes will occur this year, after all  13 is an odd number. It sure was a tough year.

Just Another Morning

She looked out side her kitchen's window, sipping her freshly  made tea, she made it just the way she likes it with honey and sprinkle of cardamom, she held the warm cup in her both hands, smelling the aroma, she felt the arms of aroma around her, making her feel better.  It was cold and foggy morning, looking out she tried to find the tips of those far away mountains but they were hidden in this morning haze, 
" that don't mean they are not there", she thought, 
just like so many other things in her life. 
She looked at her cell phone placed right in front of her,
she picked it up and opened the messages
" You will never know how much I love you " 
she read his message sent to her just few days back, 
she smiled and thought 
"Yes I never knew, I don't  and I never will, because you never loved me, you just played with my feelings, fake promises, each day filled with bunch of lies and hollow feeling less words,  like many other men out there, I wonder if you ever believed, when I told you over and over, how I felt for you, all those emotional storms, non stop rain and sleepless nights, after all that what did you do ? did you ever for a second thought about me ? or was it always you and what you want ? who gave you the right to play with my heart ? what really hurts is, I gave you my pure love, I was true to  you from the bottom of my heart !  do you think you will ever be happy after all that you have done ?, 
I sure hope so ... "
she put the phone back down, once again gathered all her strength to get back up on her feet, she knew it is an ongoing struggle now, she cant erase the memories, 
She will just have to keep on going along with them.

Fireworks In Me

I felt it moving
At the base of my spine
Responding to your touch
Awakening
Blooming roses
Vine of your love
Taking deeper roots
Climbing my body
Tickling my Back
Tingling my skin
I can feel it rising 
Reaching my naval 
Pressing tenderly 
Kissing eagerly 
Coming up
Opening my 3rd chakra 
Whispers of touch 
I can hear 
All over me
Loving words
Caressing songs
Making my heart beat faster
Anticipating the arrival of vine
Opening the door to welcome
Wider and even more wider 
Decorated by red velvet carpet
Sprinkled with honeysuckle 
Welcoming Fresh nectar hand pressed 
Drumming of heart getting faster
Vine reaches even higher
Embracing my throat chakra 
I hear the moans 
Silent screems 
Longing to wrap 
The vine around the legs
Suddenly I see the fireworks
As the Inner eye is touched
Opening the door to the other side
Flooding me with Colored energy
Making my body shudder in ecstasy 
All veils fall down
I am lifted above ground
I lost control and have found
My self to be in total surrender 
I am filled through and through
With your loving touch
I am filled through and through
With the wave of joy 
I have never surrendered that much
To your touch as such

STING - Windmills of Your Mind

Love Need Love To Survive

 It was and is all about Love
We fight, we cry, we laugh we argue
We get jealous, we get possessive and its all for Love 
We all want Love
 Unending desire, insatiable hunger
We want more, and we want more then before 
Born to love and be loved
life is all about love
It is meaningless if there is no love 
Depression is a guest
In empty heart devoid of love
 With love hardest of life's problems
Are not difficult to solve
Lucky ones will find that special someone
Who will touch the heart like a feather falling from sky 
Landing and kissing flowers face like a a butterfly
And then, you better hold on tight
Cause life can play tricks right before your eyes 
Nothing stays forever, its now or never 
Tell that person how you feel, every day over and over 
 Express , let them know , let it flow
Love need constant renewal
Love needs love to survive

Puppeteer And A Puppet

Puppeteer will remain puppeteer
Loving the stage 
Moving dancing fingers 
Controlling for pleasure 
Picked up
Played with
Forgotten for days
Puppet will remain puppet 
Knowing it all
Continue to dance 
Romance 
Taking chance 
Kissing hands
Begging for more
Until 
Spell was shaken
Strings were broken
Puppet was taken 
Away
By the Master Puppeteer 
And was released 
To the land of magic
Where the happiness took it
Painted a smile on its lips
Colored it Green
And healed its aching heart

Play Me Like a Game

Play me a game
Like a king and dame
Heart of Jack
Is not good enough
Be the King
And make me your queen
Play me a Kiss
Plant it in my heart
Let it grow 
Nourish it with your visits
Water it with your eyes
Read me like a book
Mark me
With your fingers
Fold me like pages
Touch me like lines 
Put me under
Your  pillow
Press me
A Rose
Make me yours
A secret no one knows

Paint My Mind

Paint My Mind ~



People will come and people will leave our life, but they never leave our mind, once someone comes in for a while and paint the colors of their feelings on the walls of our mind, they remain there permanently depending how strong feelings were, how stable colors are, then no matter how much it rains and how much time has passed, we can always go back and look at those colors, which still carry the same feelings ... I too have many such walls full of different colors and paintings in my mind ... and I cherish them all, some more then others, and I often visit them, spend time, feel them, talk to them, touch them, and tell them, 
how much I Love them

What If ?

We come across many people in our life, but some times there are certain people we don't interact with directly, however they seems to be traveling along in same train, they might be sitting on a seat across, and they might be pretending to do their own thing, but somehow it seems as if we know each other, and it's no incidence that we are traveling together. Still we don't get up and introduce ourselves, we just keep looking at each other, and keep traveling together, and if we do interact, the memory of that interaction remains fresh in our minds like an ever green tree, and makes us wonder, what if .... yes what if ?

In Love with Love

In the beginning
Love was resting
In the nest of Love
Happy just being Love
The desire
To Love
Appeared
Out of Love
 Love
Fell in  Love
With Loving
Love became the Lover
And
The Beloved
So many worlds
In so many universes
All created out of  Love
To Love and experience loving
Each person
With different meaning
Different experience
Different feeling of Love
Love Pouring
Out of Loving heart
Of Lover
Dancing
To the tune of
Love song
Enters the heart of beloved
Completing this journey
Of Love

Am I Awake Or Asleep

He appeared from no where
And said he was always around me
And not just
A shadow, an illusion, or hallucination 
Then I knew, we were bound to meet
He was real and not just my imagination 
He brought a magic potion 
And placed a drop on my tongue 
A window appeared
From the heart of mine to his 
A stream of feelings
Now flow irresistibly so effortlessly 
From me to him, from him to me
I feel him so close
In my arms
I feel him in me, on me, around me
I see him every where
Like a sky full of stars at night
Like Valley full of 
Blue lilies touching the horizon 
An awesome dream that I can see
With my open eyes

Words Kill

My name is Love and I was stabbed to death 
It was no stranger, but some one I adored 
Someone I trusted, someone I relied upon 
Someone I gave my heart to, someone I wanted to spend my life with
My name is Love, and I was stabbed in my heart by the meaning of a word
A word, yes a word, but it was not just a word, as it was given to me by that someone special 
It was not an ordinary word, it was part of that list of words called Criminal words
These words commit the crime of killing Love 
These are ugly, scary, dangerous, and harsh words
And on top of that list was that word
It was the meaning of that word, which stabbed me to death
That meaning is still stuck in my heart,
And every day, for the rest of my dead life I am bound to bleed through my soul
Drop by drop, as each day, that meaning squeezes my heart, until it stops
Suffocating me, draining me, stabbing me over and over and over again

that word was 
" Hate "
