you owe yourself... HAPPINESS

Who told you you will have to keep
a painful person or a memory with you?
let it lurk till it chokes you with poison?
you never made such commitments.

God never asked you to carry burdens
Which others can easily carry themselves
So when you meet caustic souls
Try to make their spirits soar high and free.

If you feel that they don’t want to sail
Just leave them and tell them to fly to you
If they flutter their wings that shows desire
Sail down a little to take them higher.

But never become a resident of darkness
Hoping it will make others happy, it wont
It will only increase another hurting soul
So stay in the sun and cheer them out.

Wise words

So many times we meet them
In the up and down of life
People who want to hurt us
Without any reason at all.

Their weapons are cruel words
Taunts, harsh, bitter criticism
Unnecessary, insulting words
Just wanting to see us flinch.

They don’t usually have
Any thing personal against any one
All they want is someone to hurt
And vent out their bottled emotions.

Next time you meet a person like this
Close your eyes and tell yourself
I am not taking any of the words
You gifted to me, they are returned.

king and his pet

The king sitting on a throne of ivory
His pet beast dwells in his court
Inside a cage, forever coiling in anger
Only the king knows how to control him.

He forever tries to break free from chain
Trying to lash out or just run around free
but once he goes prowling on his own
he can bring destruction beyond repair.

The king knows his pet very well
Knows he will have to pay dearly
If he escapes once and goes free
On his wild, uncontrolled rampage.

So he watches over him with caution
tries to keep him under leash, chain
and the beast tries to trick him
to con him in setting himself free.

A piece of stone

Morning sun looked down on the earth
Saw a beatiful pond, full of lotus blooms
Surrounded by graceful swans, crystal water..
A soft breeze blowing kissing every flower.

Softly he smiled to himself when he saw
His reflection shining among the lovely flowers
He gazed at the charm created by that
A little mesmerized and full of sweetest joy.

Suddenly a kid came out of nowhere
Picked up a stone and hurled it in water
He kept up hurling them till the birds flew away
And the crystal water lost its sparkle.

Sun glanced down sadly, knowing nature will mend
Soon the water will be crystal clear, birds will swim
But why do these souls do it, no one knows
They ruin a beautiful, peaceful heaven just for fun.

Devil

Devil decided its high time,
He has been sowing his seed too long
Now he wanted to reap his harvest
He decided to take over the world.

He placed his most ardent followers
In law, force, media and politics
All these men and women had sold
Their body, soul and dignity to him.

He captured the world using them
They acted as his eye, ear, hands, tongue
Together they fooled everyone for long
Finally they announced devil as God.

He wore a robe like God, and a false halo
Proudly he sat down on a glorious throne
His slaves clapping their hands with glee
Suddenly the clapping stopped, a child talked..

“He is not God!!! Look at his tail and horns!!!”

dreams

We all are dreamers chasing dreams,
while we are walking side by side
lets cherish this truth within us
my neighbour too holds his own
sweetest, loved dreams close to heart
which may be different from mine
as different as day and night
as different as sunshine and moonlight.

So, when we are walking towards
Our dreams, our hopes and tomorrow
Lets tread softly, gently with love
So that we have time to feel others
Their dreams, their hopes and sorrow
Have patience to sometimes stoop
And pick up their dreams from ground
To tread carefully to not trample them.

beautiful crown

One by one the rays of sun leaving earth
to go beyond the horizon to spread light,
gently darkness covers the night sky
with its dark, velvety, sky wrapping stole
studded with millions of night diamond.
The queen of night comes down to us
she gently picks up the moon and wears
on her head,.and the gentle light showers!

While the glorious queen sings lullaby
to the tired, weary souls down here
moon her beautiful, glorious crown
shines softly, illuminating the night
showing tired souls way to home,
guiding them with love and light.
Night is gentle, loving lap of a mother
the moon her crown spreading her aura...

Fairy and the troll

A fairy stalked by a troll,
wherever that fairy goes
the troll takes a stroll
follows her like pet puppy.

Speaking in his glibberish way
hoping that the fairy will love
whatever glibberish he has to say
the fairy never understood him.

So she started to visit the places
where the troll could not see her
but the troll soon searched her out
and started to pester her.

Asking her again and again
why has she stopped visiting him
the fairy thought it better not to say
that their paths are too far away.

Is it the fairy’s fault that she is kind
Or is it the troll being rude?
If anyone has the answer please tell me
I will forward it to the fairy…

Playing in ocean

Sweet, innocent daughter of mighty sun
playing alone in the dark night
knowing the light of your father
has been left to guard you through.

Playing in the dark ocean of night
creating ripples through night waves
the ocean plays back with you
creating millions of dazzling stars.

Soft winds carry your sweet song
through the darkness to the earth
who eagerly waits for you to show
your light to her in the deep, dark.

When the rosy rays paint east
you know your father is calling
now it is time to stop playing
to go home to have sweet slumber.

Be love

Feeling a little tired at the way the world works
sometimes it just steals the wind under our wings
thinking about all the suspicions we face
when we try to help someone out of compassion.

Was sitting beside the window, gazing out at trees
The green leaves, blue sky, scattered white clouds.
A little bird flew out of nowhere and softly alighted,
gently, tenderly it started a song as if to soothe me.

Little bird singing oh so sweet from the branch
Filling up my very being with your divine strain
What are you trying to tell us by spreading
That pure, divine melody free of any cost?

The purest and most precious things are free?
So when we come across beautiful souls
Brimming with love, tenderness and affection
never waste the bliss by searching hidden cost.

In God’s kingdom the most costly things are free
Air, water, food, light, God’s love.. none bears a pricetag
so is the love which we cherish for each other
so just let it be and lets be love, compassion and grace.
