Na Jaane Kyoon...

Na jane kyoon aaj achanak tumhari yaad aa gayi
garmi ki raat mein
thandi hawaon ke yeh jhoke
tumhari yaadon ko bhi saath le aaye
shayad aaj sama kuch aisa suhavana tha is liye

Jab bhi kuch achcha lagta ya hota hai
tumhari yaad aa hi jati hai
Yaadon mein rahana hamari aadat toh nahin hai
par in hawaon ko bhala kaise rokein
inko kis ki parwah hai ?

I got left behind

I got left behind
In the shadows
Of the woods
Lost
Groping in darkness

He moved ahead
Beckoning me
To follow
How could I ?
I clung to myself
To life

To forget is to know
To leave is to get
I know, I know
But still I hung on
Crying, laughing, running and tiring

He never pulled me
He never pushed me
He wont
I know
He never will
And now
I don’t want to cry
I don’t want to laugh
I don’t want to run
I don’t want to tire

And so I crawl
Slowly
Painfully
To reach
To get there
To where ?
To whom ?
He alone knows
He who always knew.

He says leave Her
How can I ?
She is no dream
Nor a joke
She is no game either
Still he says leave Her

He calls her Maya
Maya, the cleverest of them all
I saw a sun rise in Maya
I saw love in Maya
I saw the message in Maya
Still he wants me to leave Her
Ignore Her
Forget Her
Should I ?
Can I ?

Oh ! But I trust him
How I believe him
I shall follow him
I will fight
And win

SHOULD I

I fell
And hurt myself
The wounds have disappeared
But the scars
Remain

Leapt
Too high
On a mountain
Naked and blind
The rope snapped
The ladder broke

I clung
Desperately
To my Guide
Following me
Scratched her
Hurt her too.

Ventured
Far ahead
Untrained
Unskilled
Unmindful
And slipped

A climber
Should look up
Never down
I didn’t
Yet went down

Will I climb again ?
Should I ?
Will find out
From the adventurer
Who never gave up
Who knew how to climb
The right side
The right way
The right manner
Or

I move on

DIFFERENCES

You talk of differences
Where I see none
You talk of perceptions
Where I see just one

TO MYSELF

You think it is getting closer
It ain’t
You get deceived
Blinded by emotions

It is near
Yet there are those little distances
Which matter
That space is not yours
The ripples you create
May not reach across

Do not throw those pebbles
They may just hurt
Admire
The beauty of knowing
The joy of sharing

Someday perhaps
The distances will disappear
The souls will merge
And float blissfully
In the unifying space
Full of love
Full of bliss

BUOYANT

I lifted up and Beyond
On the Road
To the Sky

To grow is to fly
To find space
And new meanings
The joy of sharing
And caring

There’s much to give
To feel, to know
Much to cry and be for
To reach out, to open up
To realise
To float on feelings
Of Joy, Bliss, Happiness, Fulfillment
Satisfaction and Contentment

Life is to Create
Beautiful associations
And relationships
Life is to explore
The depths of thoughts
Of expressions and feelings
With freedom
Of doing, of saying
And of knowing

Let the spirits soar
With Fun and gay abandon
And be free

Hello out there !
Shall be screaming shortly.
