Mirror of life

Mirror of life,

reflection of oneself,

truth not being hidden,

no veils nor disguise,

just you from the inside!

agree or disagree,

no denying of this,

realize, you may not....

revelation on your part,

it will be, staring!!

Mirror you see,

its only you,

one is watching,

No escape nor excuse,

just the character of your knowing!

the things you learn,

parts choose to ignore,

memories that evoke,

joy or pain at heart,

this could be, remembrance!!

Mirror that takes,

stand on your perception,

eyes that submerged,

ocean of experiences,

to deep inside...the soul!

to know the ultimate,

achieve your goal,

meditate to oneself,

or be conscious ways,

this would be, yours.......

eternal bliss, liberation within!!

So I asked..

Questions, puzzles all around,
as I sat wondering,
answers, logic all confusing,
doubting my own tries.
So I asked...
thoughts that emerge,
things needing explanation,
wanting my time to spare!!

I ask my presence,
the life that I got,
I ask the unimaginable,
so be the God.
the nature be there,
the system we adhere,
the society, the customs,
the relations we so care!!

So I sat on the bench,
alone with myself to be company,
the trees by my side,
and the grasses on my feet.
may be I was daydreaming,
or being engrossed in the thoughts,
time moved on, so the world,
the answers still not come!!

So I asked...
the reasons,the cause,
the moments that lost,
the explanation it brought.
the bench getting wet,
and skin felt cold,
the darkness that followed,
the mind that got blank.

I do have my opinions,
but there's a lot more,
the tryst would come again,
the strife will continue,
but for now I retire,
giving my mind some rest,
emptying the bench, plants below it...
for some new one to take his time!!

So I asked...
is it time,
to return from where I come,
to the world now...where I belong!!

fogs everywhere

fogs everywhere...can't see,

but still walking on,

don't know where I am,

or which way I being,

had to think but no time,

or just the momentum,

I am going to shine!!

yes, I doubt as I move,

or its just a dream,

why I am so inconclusive,

if its my own life.

had it been different,

had I been better,

just the clouds above,

so difficult to reach the high!!

moments to stop, moments to see,

to break the shackles, to be free,

then why I am just sleeping,

or just sitting on my knee.

I do hope for better,

its my place, I deserve for,

and still I view the world around,

as my own life being.

I am not detached,

nor I say spiritual words,

but still I am confused,

asking questions to hit the chords.

fog it is but we could clear it,

the perspective we want,

brood and waste our time,

or just live it out, for the same!!

strife within

Strife within,
asking me out...
which way am I in?
which is the right place to be....
not a place I want to hide,
nor do I ask to revive,
old times, good times...
moments, so little to lose!!

strife within,
for what I am...
my actions and reactions,
acts done willing or non-willing....
could have been better,
got more respect and power,
but then its all in us,
knowing and upbringing!!

strife within,
as I try to reason..
something is just faith,
hard work and luck with...
yes, I desire for more,
but that's so human nature,
accept things as it is,
and world a better place for me!!

strife within,
and all I ask you...
think and make your move,
a path you want to be...
tread on unknown..
or just queue up,
but the end be same,
just the memories being left!!

something common

Fly like a bird,
run like a horse,
be ageless like a tree,
or swim like a fish!..
we wish, we imagine,
be a child making a rhyme,
all lost words, desires,
or just the part of our past.

we have those roots,
yet we have greed,
neither are we happy,
nor in a creed.
we meet, socialise,
discuss, debate all days,
we work , we act,
strike riches from the hays!

but still something missing,
its all we feel..
reasons so many yet so common,
things we just can't deal.
Had I been straight,
had I been true...
ask yourself...ask as a whole,
and then realise it, coming through??
