MIND'S EYE

I think….. Many of us sleepwalk through our lives Accepting all that is offered! Moving where the breeze of life flows us Accommodating all that is presented! Although everyone has a reason to do so! Some sleepwalk through their lives Because of losing a loved one Some because of fear of losing! Some because of their ignorance Some because they are ignored. Some don’t have courage to fight Some are tired of fighting! Whatever be the reason It is a sorry state to live a life and miss living! To live as if we don’t exist…. But everyone experiences this … It’s better if it is temporary But sometimes it is permanent……….. Like it is for me… I have been sleep walking All my life….. Because I lost you……….my life’s alarm clock! I can only wake up when you come back……….. Come Back! Come Back!

You can be an inspiration for many people You can be a self-illuminating star You can be the definition of self-belief And I think you already are! I have seen you grow up Carve your own luck From pretending like a retarded To being rewarded! I have seen you being nagged by parents Bullied by friends and dominated by me But today, I am proud to see U have become everything, I ever wanted to be! I don’t know when the transformation came So, now when I look back I feel we were so alike always. The only difference between us was of Power………will power! I couldn’t walk on right path, due to lack of strength Inner strength……which only you could acquire After being criticized for like two decades! When nobody understood you You tried to understand yourself And saw a sparkle that nobody ever noticed You followed that spark and fixed your own fate! Today, I see you as an extension of me You started from where I quit And have come a long way because you never give up! I taught you a lot of t...

I was born as a daughter Lovable and innocent as every baby I loved my parents My parents loved me back But for me Their love was never enough I always thought They should understand me more Talk to me more; take more interest in my interests, And most important- forgive me more. So, they should have loved me more! I became a sister Dependable and responsible as every elder sibling I loved my siblings My siblings loved me back But for me Their love was never enough I always thought They should share their feelings more They should follow me more, value me more, They should never need anybody because I was there….but they grew apart, Following their heart……..not me! That made me so insecure They should have loved me more! I became a friend Caring and fun as every friend can be I loved my friends My friends loved me back But for me Their love was never enough I always thought They should support me more, judge me less Trust me more and never misunderstand me. Time passed and nothing r...

I have always been a source of pain for you From the day I was born till today, everyday! But you have loved this pain more than anything And so taught me what true love is! Love sometimes hurts but its total bliss! You are selflessness at its height You are the true definition of affection! I am here because of you But you always regard me as the Source of your existence. When I look into your moist eyes I know that love is alive! You are the only one who lives to see me smile You are the one only one! Sometimes I wonder, You have endured more hardship than anyone else Coz you borrowed all my suffer But now, I would like to be your painkiller! When the pain is too much to bear I would like to be your painkiller! You have killed my pain all my life And I never asked………. Are you all right? Now it’s my turn to clear the clutter Just let me be your painkiller. O my innocent Mother Now Let’s reverse our nature Be my baby for a while ...

You are gone...long ago..... I know this fact but never accepted it It is impossible for me To allow myself to realize the Rules and limitations of life How can I? Even when you are gone.... long ago Love has never been low! I saw You dissolving with the horizon But I am still standing there ......since ages..... Waiting for you to emerge again Coz it is said that the earth is round And one day you will definitely come back! I don't want you to waste any time searching for me So, I am still standing there....where you left me...behind you! Years have passed and I have turned into stone-like Frozen at my place....eyes fixed on your way! When you'll return, you'll be amazed at my appearance You'll be pleased to see that I am admired here And people in love surround me all the time. Though you may be shocked to find out my new name....... People here call me Gateway of India........... Not their fault.......not mine! I have become a monument.....with decades of tranquility...

I can never thank you enough For gracing my life with your presence Even though it was awfully brief...... It is just enough to Keep me alive and love my life! I can never thank you enough For giving me the privilege to gaze into your eyes I am still intoxicated by its magic From that instant, nothing in life seems tragic! I was completely besotted by your aura And smitten by your charisma. I love to breathe in this exquisite air Because it is the same atmosphere that you share! I can never thank you enough For giving me the memories Those are indebted by your divine presence I have framed them on my heart's wall And nothing dares to cross it all. So, my heart remains uninhabited Only your memoirs widespread I love to live that way Because I know no other way! I am mesmerized by the moon coz it seems to be Lightened up by your reflection I am fond of the nature Coz it carries your favourite colour I just adore the wonderful clouds Coz some of the lucky ones will fall down As raindr...

My dear one!! I like to see you working hard Trying to be strong and tough But I would like to add.... Even if you lose a battle Never lose your heart! We love you for who you are Not for what you want to be... Life may seem like an insufficient stuff But dear...just love is enough!! There is no need to know all Sometimes it is OK to trip and fall There is no need to be perfect You have every right to make mistakes!!! I was so naive, a few years ago Trying to be perfect everywhere Trying to balance every aspect of my life Trying to achieve all my goals Trying to be faultless and flawless And always trying....trying...trying!! Then one day, as I was on my way for morning walk I clashed with a young man And was about to fall... In my hustle and annoyance....i murmured, "can't you see?" He said plainly, "No.....can you see?" I said bewildered, "Yes" He said, "WOW.....you can SEE!!" Wow ....you can see...these words kept echoing in my mind Wow.....
