Interpreting someone's words

Those smiling days are there in the heart, but it seems so distant

How the life has changed in matter of days

You lived in a closed routine life

Happy and content with the things as they were

Worked hard and had the fun as per the wishes

But this shy gal is so aloof inside the heart

Never want worried and concerned faces and words

Every moment has potential to open your eyes

To look things in a different perspective

To think about the life in a new way than ever before

Every moment has potential to open your eyes

To make you feel life in a new direction

What is life and why I am living for

Life is difficult not because of the pain you endure

But the thoughts about what others are doing for you

Dear words can heal the pain, if you take it with heart

Care that you get from all is your privilege, it’s not a gift

Some day you could heal others when god wishes your help

You went through that immense pain, but soon you will find joy

There is no need to feel bad about what you endured

Its just the test of god, and you have passed it

Your beauty in mind is intact, though outer one may have changed

Beauty of your life glows only when you live with a smile

Your laugh is hiding somewhere looking for a chance to burst

These are agonising days, quite hard to move it on

You want care, not the sympathies

Life sucks big time when there is nothing to cheer about

Its marvellous to what you can see, When you open your eyes

Its is marvellous only when you see the right things

A frustrated mind can only show, distorted images to the eyes

Your happiness lies beneath your heart, just open it

With a closed, mind you find life as bitchy

You will find yourself in moods, which keeps you away from all

It gives encouragement to keep you in a closed world

You may feel, others should not need you

Break those chains and free yourself, feel the sunshine

The god made this life inter-related, that you can’t remain aloof

You are not a burden to anyone, as you feel that way, some times

When you say, you are fine, I can tell you,

You are not at all fine inside the depth of your heart

As more you try to fake your smile, more it looks sad

You cant help those, what happened

What you can do is to face the challenges with a smile

Its not for keeping other happy, but to keep yourself cheered

Life if beautiful, only when there is happiness

Happiness does not come through negative thoughts

Happiness comes through the bright vision about life around you

Shed those thoughts from mind, and see the life in a new way

You will find everything colourful as ever

As you have to understand, when you are down

Those around you will also be down inside their hearts

Like you, they may not show it outside

Your happiness can spring joy to many eyes and hearts

Realising

I felt that I was going down like always

To the world of desperation

With the companionship of tears and agony

But, a matter of thought

Opened my eyes towards a new mirror

Realising me about something

That I never ever dreamed off

There are hundreds of reasons lying ahead

To live a life of cheers

There are reasons meant for seasons

Seasons changes, so do reasons

All that lost from my hands weren’t mine

My wish made me feel its mine

But when it wasn’t mine at all

No point in wasting time about losing

Awaiting death and life

With hopes one goes to hospital

To have the beloved recover

And ,raise back to the glory of life

Not always there is luck backing up

Some times doctors have to spell

Harsh facts that no one likes to hear

Even with the advanced care and technology

Hearing the words that chances are low

Any thing can happen, be prepared

Or we can’t tell anything until some hours

Hope for the best, and let relatives informed

Looking through the glass

At someone gasping for life in a ventilator

It stops the emotions for a while

All that comes to mind will be

The good and bad memories of the past

The anxiety of the worst fear grips the eyes with tears

Trembling lips immerses itself with prayers

Hoping that god will lend a respite

Sitting outside the ICU

Worried about the outcomes

Thoughts about future looms with never felt anxiety

When days pass some relief of survival arises

Yet the fear refuses to depart

It’s a wait for a life and death

Minutes passes as slow as ever it could be

Every passing moment reminds of some landmark

Wishing all the way down inside the heart

Not to receive news of liberation of a soul

Waiting with a tired body and a weakened mind

To receive a good news of recovery

When ever a doctor or nurse comes out

Wakes up and runs like a kid with curiosity

Just for asking if any improvement is there in condition

Even if the knowledge of the condition is fresh in mind

Every time while looking through the glass panel of ICU

Sharpens to see if there is any positive move

When goes inside the ICU always heart pounds

Even if the condition is getting better

While seeing others suffer around the loved one

Only when some words are minced

The cheers of new hope arises in the mind

Yet the chances are always there to go wrong any second

It’s like walking through a tight rope

With cushions on one side for safe landing

And a trench awaiting a journey towards eternity

ICU seems like a heaven with a door to hell always opened

And those who serves there are life savers

More of angels sent by the god to enlighten the hopes

it’s a fact that they gives their best

But its not in their hands, always an element of luck plays the game

Miracles happens, so does disasters

Sleepless nights and tiring days never deters

The love for someone who is fighting for the life

Only visual that keeps one awake is the image

Of loved one walking out of that heaven with a smile

Some times the very thought of coffin coming out

Reminds the route to hell and endless tears follows

Dreams and nightmares mars the wait for that life and death

A wait that all not want to have in their life

Unseasonal Rain

Life was moving on boring as ever,

With spring gone, beauty of nature too.

With leaves falling and swaying with wind,

Sun geared up to smile on nature,

Everyone were waiting for some hot days,

But ,astonishingly!

It lashed, the rain.

Flash floods ramped across the state,

Roads got immersed under the fury,

Of what turned out to be unseasonal rain!

Rather than relishing the relief,

People emerged out of homes with umbrellas,

Cursing on the rain for ruins.

The days passed on and on,

But the rain that changed the season,

Just kept dancing on the land!

More than excitement, agony creeped in,

Kids just looked at the sky,

Asking themselves ,when will it end?

But, the nature got a refreshing cover,

Greenery surfaced all around,

Cheering the minds, cooling the agony.

The cold winds, which accompanied rain,

Became an ecstasy for many,

Those who loved the rain walked through it,

Dancing with the rhythm of the raindrops!

Dampness remained in surface for long,

But it didn’t dampened the spirits,

Everyone knew the unwelcome guest,

Will just vanish as if nothing happened.

But the unseasonal rain was a hit,

As it challenged the weather predictions,

“Proving all the science wrong”!

Showed that “Mother Nature” can surprise,

At her will any time, with unseasonal rain,

Reiterating herself as “the queen of earth”!

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.

Friendship Fear

The train is moving on towards a new destination

Leaving the old one behind

With empty spaces, dreams and hopes

Memories, sadness, madness, and despair

In the store room of mind

The journey taken over the mind with joy

In search of a new souls

Making the old souls the haunters

Days with magical touch in old destination are hard to forget

Massacring those jubilous and taunting incidents

And then scripted them in a golden graveyard in minds

With eyes blossomed with tears

And the hearts broken down to mere atoms

Can we forget our times together?

Can we do that ever?

With the destinies spread out in different directions

The time moving ever so rapid

With no chance to meet together

With no way to exchange words

How can we serve our friendship?

Will the minds crave for those times together?

Will the minds wish for the return of those days?

Will it remain or vanish, our friendship?

With so many changes awaiting in life

With so many new relations getting ready to bond

When the time play the game  of life with us

With the  god orchestrating  that game with precision

New mode takes guard in life

And, when the new destination is accomplished

Will the silent bond of a beautiful friendship remain intact,

unlike our fears?

Eluding Rest

Sleeps with a glance at moon

Wakes up with a glance at sun

In between resting all the thoughts of worries

In the bed of dreams

Every smile and every tear

Comes together and asks each other

Why did you shine in the face?

Why did you spoil the face?

Every thing becomes idle or unworthy

For a mere few moments of solemn peace

In a life without time to rest

As tension rules every second

For meeting deadlines and promises as per obligation

Achieving big all the time is a necessity

To be able to lead a life in future

Supposedly a beautiful and peaceful

But at the cost of the present

Without enjoying the very moments

That one lives on for reaching future
