When I woke up today and looked out of the window...
I felt I didn't want to hold myself and go with the flow...
A little bird chirped from the window ledge sounding melodious...
Oblivious of the feeling inside my heart that made me curious
Beyond my window I saw the sky painted by a rainbow
Inside the window there were dew drops with a pearly glow
My finger touched the dew drops and they followed a trail
And my sobriety woke up beaming as if not to let me fail
A blooming flower caught my eye for it bounced golden sunshine
That brought a smile on my lips as dew drops were no lesser fine
Chirpy bird jumped on the ledge whistling the autumn song
Telling my conscience blossom of Spring is near and not too long

NEVER GIVE UP
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

BROKEN APPOINTMENT WITH LOVE
Broken Appointments of Love . . . . .
When I approach Love, it buries itself in me.
So, I've decided to make it approach Me.
I'd rather play hide and seek with it!
I promised to Love many a time,
Later, I realized I made promises only to break them up.
I, then decided to make Love promises to me.
For Love's sake, I let not it break the promises!
I taught Love how to live broken-hearted.
It stayed longer to leave me forever.
I burnt myself in desire ---
Yet let it go away safe.
I walked on the wall of darkness,
Love made its journey to my soul,
I wonder I hardly noticed its pace,
Only discovered its essence in the silent music of darkness!
I thought, I drank the nectar of love to my heart,
But I sipped but a little!
I found myself entrapped with your eyes,
Even though I never dared ask you even just a kiss!
Love once whispered to my soul,
I was too busy then even to listen to it.
Long long afterwards, I heard its echo,
My heart treasured it, I felt like floating!
Our sweetest feelings always remain untouched, I realized.
I did mesmerize Love, its zeal.
Angels robbed it but once,
Again, it dropped like a star on the strand I stood.
How can Love be subdued? I made them bethink!
Love tried to veil your radiant eyes,
Even you remained behind the silken snare of your tresses.
How could pearls get concealed when oysters let not them do so?
Can water but turn to wine if I leave a kiss?
Love gave me leave to kiss, made me bold to woo,
Yet, how can daring fate be ignored? I wonder!
Elsewhere in other world, my soul dotes in solitude,
In the distant shore, you once dreamt to go.
The story of that distant bliss--couldn't but be gone with the wind,
Left me insane, just in the lap of eternity.
So obvious in hue, yet blurred in guise of Erida.
I recalled my oath, which I made not to you, but to my love.
Again came Aphrodite, just emerged from the ever-frozen zone!
As vowed I've, never dare banish Love.
Never too late begins my ache to shun.
Gentle swain as I'm to refuse---
To turn wicked spirit into divine one!
O Love! You whom I often and silently can't but go,
Hear the sighing sound beyond silence's shore;
Yet not too late to counsel or pray.
I'll dare to bet Love's broken heart for decades to come

REASONS.SEASONS or LIFETIME
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you
have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to
provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then,
without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person
will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they
die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a
stand.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to
share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you
laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give
you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a
season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build
upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept
the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind
but friendship is clairvoyant."
I am still not able differentiate between all those people who have been a
part of my life for a reason, season or a lifetime.
However, I need to learn to accept that people will come and go according to
their role in my life.
Rather than being stuck at a point in time, I need to learn to keep moving
forward in life cause I can now understand if I don't, I am the looser
