FEAR OF SEEN
Trapped in stony core of egotism,
How to get out of it?
How to face realism?
The moment I read a portal of hope
Refined thoughts disseminate
Making it dope like burning end
Of a zillion meters long rope.
Gathering the wisdom of ages passing by,
Scattering the thoughts, often intriguing,
Perhaps! drenched in sigh.
Mind is frozen like a sheath of ice
On the Bold surface of sea,
Want to leave this mortal package
‘Hope’ I would be free?…
But than this thought bounces
Back on me, my mind,
Everyday I’m born because of thee,
everlastingly divine.
Self-realization and working for good is supreme?
Wish I could never be seen…..
O! Lord, this wish completes
My incomplete self-esteem.

Angels turned into wolves
She waited for the light
to seep into her body
The darkness had its layers,
The light couldn’t surpass
She waited all her life to flutter her wings
The shackles were so hard,
She never took a flight
She waited to be bloomed
to spread her fragrance
The bud was crumbled,
It never saw another world
She waited for a guide to show her a path
The path took her to hell,
It never showed her heaven
She waited for angels to bring her back
The angles turned into wolves
and tore her apart.

MY WORLD
When I was small,
Sometimes used to fall
You lent a helping hand,
And taught me how to stand
As I grew old
You taught me to be bold
You are like a flower
You gave me blessings with a shower
You taught me the ways
to face the world,
You taught me the ways
to be a brave girl
Best part of my life,
Let the childhood be.
B’coz when I’ll grow older,
God knows where I would be
You are the best woman
I might have seen ever,
You are the best mother
A child can get ever
You are my whole life,
Happiness without whom can’t stay alive…!
You are like a friend who understands me,
My life becomes awesome
when you are around me..!

love doesn’t mean sacrifice
“Don’t expect people to cross
oceans for you.
Don’t expect people to
walk through fire for you.
Not your own parents or
your friends and most
Not even the person
you are in love with
Love doesn’t mean
sacrificing yourself
Love shouldn’t mean sacrificing anything.
Don’t expect people to give away
Pieces of themselves
to fit you better.
Don’t feel hurt if they don’t.
It’s called self preservation.
Instead learn from them
and do it as well
Don’t let anyone change you or
Make you sacrifice
anything you love.”
