Precious

You came 

To my life

And my life 

isn't the same 

Anymore

So intense 

So alive 

Not even a single 

Dull moment 

Days have become 

So cherished 

Looking back 

I have gathered 

So many pearls 

Even when 

I felt 

I will drown 

I went down

At the bottom 

Of the sea of Sorrow

Finding 

The treasure 

I had never seen 

Never knew 

Exist in me 

I was just a stone 

You have polished me 

I was just a glass

You have turned me 

Into a mirror

Which can now 

Reflect my own 

Face 

Back to me 

You are a blessing 

To me 

From God

I wish that 

You can feel that too 

Your worth is 

Worth living the life

Over and Over again

Fog and You

Prisoners Of Life

We all are

In prison

Made of 

Seconds

Surrounded by 

The barbwire 

Of moments 

Each 

Blinking eye

Keep pasting 

A piece 

Of broken 

Glass 

On the top 

Of the wall 

Making it 

Higher 

Than before 

We all are 

In prison 

Knowingly or 

Unknowingly 

We get up 

Go to work

Eat our meals

And go back 

To our cells

Day after day

The sun 

Arrives 

On time

Like Us

Sun too

Is in a Prison 

We keep 

Marking the calendar 

But no one 

Wants 

To leave 

We all have

Fallen in Love 

With this prison

Or May be

We cant

Find

The door

Silent I become

The more I know you

Silent I become 

But I cant help thinking

Why is that ?

Is it because 

Wherever I see

I see the face of You ?

Is it because 

You are All 

And yet Hidden from all 

Nothing to define 

Nothing to be told 

All stories are Yours

All beings is You 

Is it because 

There is no birth Nor death

Death is another birth

Taking off one garment 

Wearing another 

Is it because 

Dance of life continue

On the stage of existence  

Like Sun rise and Sun down 

Just because 

We cant see The Sun at night

Doesn't mean its not there 

Or is it because 

I ll never be apart from You 

Knowing that I am at ease now 

The more I know You 

Silent I become

That Voice WithIn My Heart

She remained silent 

Most of the time

Quietly watched the world outside  

Clock keep ticking

The scenes keep changing 

People came , people went

Leaving behind their thoughts and feeling 

She took them all 

Kept them safe 

and weaved the cover of her story book

She named it A LIFE TIME 

It was just one book among many others

Stories of the life she has lived 
Around the universe 
Among the stars 
In so many different worlds
Existing as
So many different forms

Growing, evolving , maturing 

Since the eons of times 

But, she remained  silent 
Most of the time 

It was during the emotional storms

She had to close the windows 

Waiting patiently for the storm to pass 

Hoping patiently to recover from the damage 

She always pulled through chaos 

She had the magic touch

Organize is her middle name 

Wisdom is her First 

Consciousness' is her neighbor 

He lives in the upper story 

Took them years

To live in harmony 
Becoming the best buddies 

They sometimes sit together 

Listening to the silence within 

Enjoying the view 

From the windows of my eyes

You Alone Are

No one will , You alone will 

We all are, and continue to 

From first breath to the last

That inner battle 

Between good and evil

Among Heart and Mind 

About keeping and letting go

Picking up the dead bodies

Of all those expectations 

When feet gives up

and soles begin to bleed

stepping on broken dreams

Even the hope leaves us

Sitting at the edge of bed

In that empty cold room

No one will, you alone will

We all are, and continue to

Fight that Inner battle 

And wins most of the times

Because Life may be tough

But we are tougher

Not Sure

Broken and shaken

Devoid of wishes but awaken 

My Heart forsaken 

Mistaken 

For Rusty Metal 

For granted taken

Punished 

For a single word spoken 

Beaten for beating 

Abandoned 

For showing the slightest emotion 

I ask to return that time stolen 

Those moments standing still 

Reflecting back to me all frozen 

But I dare not say a word

Dreading to be thrown 

In that silent abyss 

For days spent in daze 

Suspended chocking 

Unable to breath

Staying alive or dead

Don't know for sure 

Death lurking around the heart

Waiting to squeeze that last beat

I take my Last breath

And scream echoing back 

To my own ears 

Striking the empty walls around 

Shaking the darkness

Awakening the stillness 

Breaking the silence  

I no longer care

If I am alive or dead 

Either way I ll stand tall

On my own heartache and pain

Until my time is done
