A dream blooms....



My father gifted me a little plant
He told me to take care with
Love as it’s quite scant.
When I touched its little leaves
I felt like I forgot all grieves
I ran quickly to my sweet garden
Planted the plant in the soil
Less hardened
Now my life was changed a lot
Most of the day I used to adore
Adore the beauty how it was growing
Those lovely leaves were just mind blowing
But one thing was still there
That made me curious
I wanted to see the flowers
And my wish was so serious
Days after days passed away
I was thinking why so delay
Why the flowers are still not there
I was in little despair
No butterflies
No fragrance
No little wasps
No bee’s dance
I was ignoring the other plant’s beauty
They were smiling & greeting like it’s their duty
But my dear plant was bearing no flower
After some days of nature’s shower
I saw something on my sweet plant
Oh!! wow, what’s the next plan
Looking closely is there the little bud
The excitement started flowing in my blood
And finally the great day came
Now nature can’t be blame
I saw the beautiful Hibiscus flower
And can’t stopped looking at it for hours
I touched it soft petals
They were more precious than those metals
I was so happy as the flower bloomed
My garden was filled with sweet perfume
Now the butterflies could also be invited
Enjoying the bee’s dance I was delighted
The wasps too seemed excited
I feel like whole universe united.

Amidst the drizzling....


Amidst the drizzling my heart is
Looking for the twilight hues
Tiny droplets resting on my
Eyelashes as I capture the view

Soft petals of a blooming
Flower bestows the love around
The rippling bliss in my heart
Sings with the melodious sound

Persistence of thoughts with the
Light glows my heart and soul
The fragrance of love has wrapped me
While erasing all sorrow that sores

The rainbow of my sky beaming,
Piercing through the dark clouds
My soul dances with the symphony
Rejoicing the beauty emanates around

Just for once....


With the little time in hand
Let’s walk in the sand
Just for once, feel......

Feel this world’s essence,
Your very existence
Just for once, listen....

Listen to those unheard stories
Buried underneath pointless glory
Just for once, laugh.....

Laugh on your own failure
You’re your own savoir
Just for once, let go.....

Let go the grudges you’ve been harboring
Thoughts that have been pestering
Just for once, share.......

Share the love you always had in your heart
Because one day this soul will depart
Just for once.....
Only just for once.....
Don’t take things for granted
Time is limited on this planet
Look into your loved ones eyes
Without a reason hug them tight......

Talk to reflection


She was smiling while looking at me

I was standing with astonishment

How can she smile like this?

When my heart is full of disappointments

I asked with my questioning eyes

She scoffed, leaving me in daze

I wondered what’s in her mind

When my heart is so ablaze

She said nothing is permanent

You need to see beyond confined

Sometimes you’re just so obnoxious

Learn to forgive yourself and smile

I said you’re just an image in the mirror

It’s easy for you to talk, easy to advice

But let me tell you one thing

It’s really difficult to ignore what you despise

She said, maybe I’m just a reflection of yours

But, it’s just me who can judge you better

You need to understand first yourself

World is something to comprehend later

I looked at her and thought for a while

Indeed a talk in solitude is worth of time

Silence

I can hear you through this silence
Silence pertaining to the twilight
I don’t know why you’re quiet
Wondering while gazing at light
But it’s beautiful to be here
Conversing through the gleams
I can see love in your heart
The way your eyes beam
Just for few moments
Let’s forget the world
Sitting in the tranquillity
Let the dreams unfurl
Breathe and listen
Let your thoughts echo
Let me tell you some stories
Let the things go
Remember, what matters
In the end is just love
Look at the sky, stars are
Guiding us from above

Universe and me


Universe and Me...

Whether I’m awake or asleep
Ceaseless thoughts surround me
Regrets of past and hope for new
Everything seems false, even if it’s true

Confronting the deepest fear
Freeing the mind from despair
Sometimes, this life shackles me
I just wonder, if it’s meant to be

Those doubting eyes, stab my heart
Feels like, will this pain ever depart
But the dreams in eyes set me ablaze
Calm affirmation of moon, as I gaze

Faith that ignites my heart and soul
Harmonious symphony that echoes
When you have nothing to lose
You’re all free to decide and choose

I’m the free spirit flying to infinity
A changeless glory till the eternity
These little boundaries can’t limit me
As I believe in love and the divinity

The miraculous stars in the sky
Celestial beauty shimmers in eyes
Strengthening the bond between
Me and the vast universe within
