Meeting ....

 

Meeting

A meeting with self

And was surprised to meet the person

That was waiting to meet me

Since ages I guess

 

Reflect

Deep reflection

In still water

Gave a clear picture

Of what was hidden behind the face

 

Sedative

The numbness of feeling

Of thought

Like a sedative working

On mind ,body, soul

Life itself is that sedative

Blowing a big hole

Thwarting life

At times though

 

Pandemic Poems

 

A war inside

A war outside

The thousand implosions

And explosions

That are part of life

Even as life goes on

With the daily breathing , eating

And all mundane tasks that we call life

Or is it a strife

 

 

The Pandemics

It is a pandemic for the time being

Huge in size

And on the rise

But for the  unfought and unseen daily pandemics

The pandemic of being inhuman under the guise of being human

The pandemic of deceit, inequality and hurt

The pandemic of opportunism and bigotry

Of divides and barriers

Of a dying humanity dying due to multiple pandemics at the same time

The earth in its spinning it seems has lost it balance and rhyme

Some Random Poems ....








Corporate World
Mostly the corporate honchos die unsung .
 In The long flights and fights . 
The rug pulling and nitpicking , the clamour for power
 even as the powers to be change like the changing season . 
The race towards the chair probably made you unfit . 
But you ran leaving aside friends family and interests .
 Racing with foes and friends  .
 Taking pride in every stride . 
At the end with broken knees and an even broken spirit 
Did reach the chair which didn't look so great up and close . 
Distant hills look green as they say





Soul power 
Sometimes the body gives up .it is battered bruised and torn . 
can't bear .
The mind loses it strength. 
Due to wear and tear . 
But it is the spirit that drives .
That fuels life . 
Allows the body to get up  and rise . 
Gives power to the mind . 
Perhaps makes it more wise . 
It's the inner strength the soul power that gives life a new turn.
When you thought everything arrived at a stand still .
Where the mind body fail and fall .
Soul power rises and takes a call ..
A desire to get up an unparalleled will . 
Comes from the recesses of your soul .
Teaches you self help and to reach your lost goal



Trust
 Trust in self before you trust others 
 have faith in the inner drive And compass . 
That drives the daily life . 
This trust takes you above the routine strife and gives power to the soul . 
The struggle seems easy . 
Even as you reach your goal  . 
Trust builds self and with that a new self is born .
The play between the shore and the waves since eternity is on




 Re look reality
 To re-examine life .
To look at the same reality thru a different lens and angle .
This will indeed disentangle .
A lot of truths hidden in the mess .
What seemed like a lost cause .
It was any body’s guess .
Now seems to be a win in progress .
God bless

Random Poems....















Oxygen
What is the oxygen for the mind

What is the oxygen for the body

When there is so much oxygen in the air

There are so many types of oxygen

It comes in many forms

Fresh air in the garden

A nice walk, a good book

Meeting a friend over a nice cup of tea

Its on the individual

To create a new oxygen

With the passage of a time

Suitable for you

Suitable for the environment

That helps you to breathe freely

Even if there is so much stifling and pushing around

Create your own space

Your own oxygen





Time




Time has stopped

Or have we stopped

To measure time aimlessly

As it passes by

Time does its duty

You are doing yours

Of walking with time

Running with it at times

And then just gazing

Measuring it

As it slips away

Almost aimlessly

To reach a destination

Sometimes to just

Pass thru the winding ways

The lush green valley

The mountain and forests

Time comes to a standstill

Even as it passes by

Moment by moment






Burn and the Bite


Burn and the Bite
The Twitching of the heart .
The intense pain almost like a shriek
Caused by an unexpected burn or bite
 Nothing seems right
The whining and pining
And yet words falter as the mind isn’t ready
 When the heart is
That’s the strife
 The heart is bitten badly
And only burns in the flames of love and life

Small Time Reflections on Time, Fate and Change ...



Reflections on Time, Fate and Change ...



Image result for reflections

Time 
We are all imprisoned by time
But we create our own prisons here
And  seem to be having the key too
So when do we all break free

Fate
Absurd fate
Driven by grandfather Time
Since eternity
The tick tock movement continues

Free
The captured bird
Too yearns for freedom that Nature offers
But born in captivity
Even that freedom is alien for us urban dwellers

Moving.. 
Time moves on
So does the situation
And even life
Then why should you be stuck up when everything is moving

Change
Day changes into night & vice versa
So why fret when things will change
Efforts and patience is the
Key to making this change your friend !!

Nature and Humans
The nature of humans
Can be inhuman
Though Nature
Can never be unnatural

Mumbai Traffic and Rains
Its pouring puddles and potholes
The roads are full
Of myriad hopes, desires and wishes
All waiting to reach home…

Moving
The changing fortunes
Just like the ticking clock
Movement is the name of the game

Mind
A glue that binds
All the thoughts, emotions and feelings
A strong thread that creates a tapestry
A tough mind…

Balance
To balance everything
To decide what to hold
Is the balancing act
Called life

Sweet Sorrow
Sweet sorrow woke you up from your slumber
Moved you to a new zone
Of trials, errors and experiences
And yes reflections and wins!

The dark glasses were the only barrier!!

Teacher
When the student is ready 
The teacher arrives
If the teacher fails to arrive
The  ready student becomes the teacher
