Smile Please

Why do I have to smile?
This is how I am
And there is no denial.

When I share a moment of mine
Please find me the way I am
It’s not about how you like to see me
But with my moods aligned.

Emotions have strong colors
Which you see on my face
Why to use a brush on it,
If that doesn’t leave my trace.

This body is just not me
Find my emotions too
To get me in my photo
Without one is untrue.

Conscience

When my mind becomes battlefield
Thoughts get engaged in war.
When I bleed but do not know,
Which way I should go!
I push aside Dhitarastra’s blind eyes.
This war is inevitable and some should die,
Conscience Krishna speaks.
There is call for Arjuna to pick up his bow.
Do not let your weaknesses to grow.
How close some remained,
Move on and ignore the pain.
Listen to what inner voice seeks.

You are in me

Tied up here at work;
But my heart longs for you.
Wish you knew.
It's a root deep inside me,
Pulls me day and night.
The soul within is so much yours.
If the distance makes you ever feel,
That I have moved away.
Then you must know,
Your presence is as bright
As yesterday.
Even miles away, I am with you.
The lonliness, which haunts you,
Makes me sad, moves me too.
This heart ever longs for you.

Wish you knew

When you could pour in so much of light,
Why am I left in darkness?
Light a lamp for me please.
Where you could bring in flood of joy,
Why mind dies in drought of happiness?
Let your love drizzle over me please.
I Know, you can bring in colors
Get me a rainbow.
Let the cloud go aside.
Let me sink in colour of light
Let the bliss overflow.
you can add wings to it
And my heart can fly.
Do you know?

Another Journey

After a stormy night,
It's a clear sky.
The Sun is shining bright.
Soil still have smell of rain.
The wind is blowing.
So my beliefs.
The heart knows by now,
You wouldn't back again.

When you took away the candle, I held
The darkness appeared bigger than dream.
Twilight of morning has wiped the black.
Life gets flow of a stream.
Nothing is forever, nothing remains.
End of a journey, just another begins.

Be In This Moment

This is what you have, this very moment.
Do not look back.
What would you do with them?
Those glittering moments may just blind you.
You may just sink into the darkness of misery.
Your future, you may plan
Why would you move in there now?
It may be there, even may not be.
Before this moment goes out of hand
Before it is called a history,
You be in this moment,
In this very moment
And make the best out of it
If you can.

Satyamev Jayate

It was a cartoon!
Not to demean his nation,
But to mirror his pain.
Here his feelings got expression
And his caution
To the countrymen
Of losing the creed,
For which
The country was ever known.
Satyamev Jayate!
How much you prove him wrong
How much you try to punish him
How much you try to keep him
Behind closed doors
But your gates are opening
Every now and then!
In the flood of dirt
I can see your face.
You can see my face darkened.

Wind of Social Networking

They can't hide the skeletons kept in their cupboard any longer.
They cannot cut short their tongue of growing hunger.
The raging storm is pushing hard their closed doors.
You and I are growing stronger than ever before.
Swelling darkness behind the curtain was covered for long.
In this wind our voice catches wild fire to say it wrong.
Feared faces are looking for ways to stop the wind
Their hands are reaching your throats, be aware friend!

Masks are falling

Masks are falling.
Don't say it please,
that you are wearing it too.
Harrowing wind, distressing rain,
Freezing cold and burning heat - I have seen it all.
Looking at your face,
I walked pass through.
Now tremor beneath my feet.
Don't let the color go off.
If the earth is still so green,
That's because of you.
If the time stopped at dusk,
Oh dear, the reason I knew.
Masks are falling.
Please remain the way you were.
I fear to see you new.

The Festival Of Lights

Rows of lamps lit up the place.
My home was also covered with lights.
You feared the darkness leaving a trace...
Few candles at the gate would make it right!

Set out for lamps to meet the need of your eyes,
I walked through a world of darker night;
Where amidst noise, the plea of silence had to die
And starved faces with trembling hands stood upright.

While lighting up the facade, we remained unaware
About the darkness within, we didn't care.
