Timeout

 I am not defeated

I am just taking a timeout

I will be up again

Till there is a knockout

My eyes are dry

I don't cry

But they hold an ocean of tears

Because I don't emote my fears

My face is pale

It doesn't hold a stress line

I act as if I am alright

And everything is fine 

But my heart is crowded 

With a million emotions

Each worth a thunderlike scream

That finds an outlet only in my dreams

I am  sitting among friends

But I am very lonely

Don't my demeanor fool you

I am holding a storm within me

Inertia

When we are dying
But not yet dead
When we are living
But not alive
When we wake up but are not sure
Which is the right side of the bed
Burdened by all these duties
And responsibilities
Its seem hard to get up
And face the world
The bed seems a cocoon
A soft comforting place to be

It got me thinking
Do we need to be sad all the time
Is it becoming our permanent state of mind
Is our sadness a choice
Or more of a habit
Do we go in search of sadness
Or sadness come to us

Whatever may be the answer to that
We may ponder
but that sure is not our remedy
We need to make a change
And forge ahead
Live a little
Laugh a little
Come up for a gasp of air
Even when we feel like drowning

Force a little bit of happiness in your life
Its all about changing the state of mind
Watching the butterfly
Or a flower bloom
For some of us it might be gardening
Or a long long drive
To each his own
Whatever works for us
To pull away from the gloom

Life could be as simple as that
Or as complex as we want it to be
The choice is for us to decide
Coffee or Tea
Or hot chocolate is good for us, maybe
Or wine, whiskey or any other drink it could be
Or water, tap or mineral
We can choose to complicate it further
with the brands

For me it was the school tap water
on a hot summer day
That I drank with my cupped hands after playing with friends
A moment of calm and happiness
That evokes a smile on my face
When I jog on my memory lane

Touch you

Like the waves
That come to the shore
I too want to touch you
Touch you again and again 

I want you

I want to throw away those glasses
And stare into those deep sea eyes
I want to watch your playful smile
Innocent, lovely and so nice

I want to smell your sweet fragrance
That gives me a thousand highs
I want to hold your beautiful hands
And hug you as a sweet surprise

I want to kiss those ethereal lips
And open the floodgates of heaven
I want to run my fingers through your hair
And make waves like those in the ocean

I want to play with your belly button
My whole world its confine
I want to hold you forever
As you are always mine

I want to pick your brain
All seasons- summer or rain
I want to spend my lazy evenings having tea
Listening to your jabber lying besides me

I want to hold your slender frame
My beautiful tender dame
Now it all depends on you
Whether you feel the same

Cycle of Life

Time is the glue that binds Nature
Into a mosaic of living crystals pure
When light kisses this crystal collection
It adds to each multiple dazzling dimension

Wind welcomes Time
With beats of air that rhyme
Cool and gentle breeze will come by
And so will clouds gather in the sky
that will melt into raindrops as time goes by

As these drops touch the earth
It forms the union that gives birth
To the wonderful cycle of life
Which brings in both collaboration and strife
Several life chains emerge as a result
Each so diverse but amazing by itself

Random events occur and life reacts
Each its own but cover the entire mosaic
Day and night fill the book of time
But its an Era that binds time

Importance of You

A drop of freedom
In an ocean of misery
A moment with you
Stops me from being lonely

Goodbye

I said Goodbye
So many times before leaving.
Now thats just an empty thought
It has lost its meaning
I can't  let go
Of you or that feeling
My heart still skips a beat
When you are smiling
The world stands still for me
When you are talking
I wish you had for me
That feeling
I want to be with you
You are the only ONE for me

Mind

MIND,
Tell my heart
to stop playing that song
You can bear the pain
Only so long
And then what is  the point
She is gone long

Smile

If you walk in my shoes for a mile
You would know
There is a storm in my smile
Each smile is an effort
To mask all this sadness in my heart
So now I smile often
Lest my feelings come out in the open
Being sad is not an option
Showing one is
The world is glad
to know you are sad
So I keep my feelings
Iron clad
Suppress my tears
Hide my fears
Self doubts I don't share
I know the world doesn't care

Don't Stop

Don't stop when you are tired
Don't stop when you think you can't
Move on
Push on
Channel your inner strength
Put your will to the test
Don't stop go on
Stop only
When you are done
