Life After Death

It still remains a mystery,

what i saw in my dream

someone put me on a highway

I saw heaven on one side

I saw hell on other side

I kept guessing

where am I heading for?

The path looked so long

and there was no entrance

on either side to get in

But i saw,a few walking

in front of me

And i saw a few following me

in search of their destiny

 Is this life after death?

Is heaven a home to live?

Is hell a destitution center?

I saw the angels flying

in the heaven

Spreading love and peace

to all the happy faces

I saw my loved ones

waving me to get in

I saw the devils screaming

in the dens of hell

spreading terror and pain

to all those tear filled eyes

I saw my loved ones

asking for help to escape

I don't know where i should go

How can i forget the love

all those gave,when they were alive !

But, do i have a choice for myself ?

Girl,stop running away from life

You can hide inside the covers of bed

You may shed tears in silence, with pain

But, will it bring you any thing new?

Will it bring your lost love, again?

Things are beyond your control, you know

Then, what’s the point in hiding in darkness?

Getting aloof from all those who care for you

Isn’t it a crime, which you are going to commit?

When you are crying in the company of despair

There are some, who are concerned about you

Why can’t you see the tears of people around you?

Life isn’t all about the losses of the past and present

You are forgetting, those who depends on you

They are cheerful when you are smiling and happy

There will be gloominess around your loved ones

Yet, you just don’t wanna see things around you

Can thoughts change the destiny? ask yourself

Cutting yourself can spring blood and induce pain

You feel it’s a way to shed away all  your worries

It will only leave some scars, as marks of cowardice

Get out of your covers and throw away the thoughts

Leave behind your depressed soul, it’s a dead one

Take hope as your new soul, a companion for life

Until you meet your destiny, a lively soul to share life

Girl, stop running away from your  life

Just face it, don’t bother about the past

Gal stop crying, feeling depressed

Just live on, a new world is awaiting you

Five Months

Five months, a journey of sorts

From a death to another death

Two souls left the nest

Leaving other three in a state of sorrow

It took months to recover from the first loss

But, fate took them back to the native place

Mourning again with sympathies all around

The year started with a new promise

Just to see the worst nightmare

With just four days in to the year

Now when it seemed life is back on track

Thunder strike with fervour

Now feelings are lost just like a frozen lake

There are no prayers left in the minds

Many memories and many unfulfilled dreams

Words are there with condolence

But all that they need is some peace

To move away from the haunting place

Wherever they turn, it is the absence

That strikes in minds

It may take another five months

To embark on a new life

Adjusting to the new needs and aspirations

In the ever absence of loved ones

On every new step, there will be remembrance

If they were alive, they would have appreciated

Or would have stopped

But, that’s the way life moves on

One can only wish, but can’t stop destiny.
