Who Do I Miss

Ferrying in the ocean of my thoughts,
I happen to see the dreams that I lost.
All alone and sailing on an endless ocean,
Deafening screams emanating from my lesion.
A moonless night that takes me away,
With nothing but pain leading the way.

I see a glint of light,
A radiant bird in flight.
I row to the end of the tunnel long,
To find me in the mirror all along.
I see the smile that faded from my lips,
I miss my merry sojourn and trips.
I miss myself most of all,
The happy version who slew the demon, and stood tall.

Time the healer at work again,
Allowing cheer and happy thoughts to ingrain.
I smile this time with a resolve strong,
Never miss me for the rest of the journey long.

Prisoner of the Mind

Slipping in the abyss of the darkness, I fumble to find,
A support or a hand and try to look at what is left behind.
I find no light, no voice nor a friendly figure emerging from the fog,
For the fog is full of spiralling thoughts that cause my mind to clog.
Like invisible rope tugs and pulls me beyond,
Dragging me and making me a prisoner of my mind.

I fight, I argue, and I battle hard,
I burn and shine while my skin is charred.
The fire of my resolve burning the fog,
Daylight clearing the surrounding smog.
I find I grew my wings in isolation,
I leap to the sky and fly to my destination.

A Tale of Determination

When you hide the seething pain under a smile,
Making it look easy, to the people vile.
You eclipse the surging anger with a yes.
While masking your emotions fighting to resurface.
Being a victim of the nagging thoughts in the mind.
Speaking of the memories that were left behind.
Choosing to remain strong even when in pain.
Requires a will of steel and a goal to aim.
Silencing the arguments with a scream, so mute;
Your soul reverberates and strengthens the route,
To your success that takes you afar,
 From the cavils of a carper and remains of the scar.

Cold Wounds That Burn and Illuminate the Path

Gathering around the blues of life,
Grey clouds signifying defeat and strife.
Thunder and lightning, synonymous with the struggle long.
Fire within burning like the determination strong.

Cold rain pouring on the wounds that burn,
Soothing within, yet kindling the fire, the fire to learn.
The lessons of life and scars of fights, 
Bearing witness to your strength.
Evolving, building up and retaining your trait clement.

As the rain satiates the thirst of the Earth,
The penchant for learning quenches my yearning for growth.
The rain of wisdom blooming in my soul.
Taking me towards the light from the dark black hole.

A Tale From a Broken Yet Healing Heart

When my eyes searched for you in the crowd,
Flooding my mind, with a tirade of thoughts,
A single humble prayer reverberated through my soul
I wished that you be mine forever and whole.

When the melancholy of the daily grind tires my soul,
I look for you in every face I follow and stare.
Hearing the words, never spoken from your lips,
Accepting the apologies that were never offered,
While my heart craves that you be mine forever.

When all you offer is pain and criticism,
I try to see the honesty in your words.
The pain behind your vicious whine,
With a humble prayer that you be mine.

A Tale From the Moon

Tiding over the scurrying thoughts, 
Living through the half illuminated dreams that trots.
Facing all the vile and the divided opinions,
Unflinching and calm like the ignored minions.

You are the moon which is in the dark,
Evident only when the Sun reflects it's light, stark.
You see no Moon when there is no Sun,
Yet, it creates the ripples and tides synonymous with fun.

Be the moon that soothes the pain.
Even if you are ignored and do not gain,
In the game of life with ripples of glee and despair.
Scattering the refreshing moonlight is but a silent affair.

Even if you stay in dark, silence the critics with your elegance,
Shining in the glory of your perseverance.
Be like the moon that causes the tides,
Inspire everyone with your determined strides.

I Am the World You Cannot Possibly See

I am the water flowing so free,
Your scorn and ridicule cannot restrict me.
I am the air you breathe to survive,
No wonder, without me, you find it hard to thrive.
I am the sky you want to reach,
Be careful of what you preach.
Shoot all your arrows, darts and spears galore,
For when I am gone, you will be bereaved, crestfallen, and hollow.

Random Unpredictable Me

I am the memory that you cannot slip,
I am the smile that you cannot flip.
I am the shade that you cannot forbade,
I am the fire that cannot be laid.

Twirling through the train of thoughts,
You will find me in every cross and noughts.
Run as you might or wade away,
You will find me in every path you foray.

You see me in the shining sun,
You feel me in the soothing moon.
I am a memory that you cannot slip,
I am the smile that you cannot flip.

When You Finally Come Around

When your words were sweet and real,
Spurting love, care and heed.
You were in love, head over heel.
Hiding the fondness beneath,
Love blossoming into a tree on a heath.

Alas, the tree began to wither,
Dry up and lose all the vigour.
For there was no more the love,
That watered the roots from the cove.
The bark now turned brown
Full of cracks from the strife and frown.

It is but a matter of time,
The mighty tree shall turn to dust and grime.
Yet, the leaves fly around,
In a hope to search and hound,
In memories shall they bound.
For you will never find me around.
When your guilt shames you down,
And you finally come around.

I Am - Tatvam Asi

With blinding darkness expanding the universe,
Eyes that close and explore the consciousness that lurks.
A light that shines bright like the sun,
I evade the power and, break in a run,
From the mundane cycle of life and death.
An awakening of the soul due to nature’s wrath,
Let’s me see the whole illusion in a wrap.
A resonating thought that I am with the one.
I find myself attracted to the light.
No more eluding the power that it casts.
I unite with the light, letting the emotions pass.
I am the one, I am that,
Discerning Tatvasm Asi in an incessant chant.
