just as it is!

Strange are these strings of hearts
That strum a tune unheard of...

N blend so very beautifully
To make one song so familiar
It's just u it's just me it's just as it is

Strange as it might seem now...but
You  never were  a stranger n neither was I
We knew this path before we set foot
For it was lit by flames of our blazing hearts

We strolled along this fiery path,pretending
To be numb to the song that heart played on

 waited for that obvious  moment...which
Would lead us to the point of no return

And ....then we met

And then we met and we were all set
To embrace the truth and kiss the song
That our hearts sang..and never stopped
From the first moment we laid eyes on eachother

It's just you, it's just me, its just as it is.....
So, it's just wonderful!!!

Silent Musings

A quiet afternoon by the window
Curtains closed, waltz to the breeze
Sun plays hide and seek,  a shadow puppet show on my wall

A lady dances smiling at the sky
Diamond raindrops sprinkle down
Small birds play around n disappear
Little boys jump n fool around
A hundred stories that bubble
Soon to fade or merge into another

A quiet afternoon by the window
Curtains drawn, yet the play in on
My minds theatre projected on my wall!!

Questions!!!!!

Love can travel through
 nameless mediums
intangible cables
in ways that the myriad souls
cant comprehend.
But aren't we tangible entities
with flesh n blood after all.. 

Love is spiritual
whereas desires, needs are mundane. 
So this constant tug of war.

Isn't it unfair that body
is largely the medium for us
to experience an outer-body ecstatic state
of being
called Love!

Pondering over NLP terminology- procedure driven vs choice driven.

My spontaneity comes from my inner structure or procedure. The clarity of procedure in my mind allows me to be impromptu or choice based in the outer world.
Whereas a person who lacks inner structure or clarity May need to do rely on procedure and structuring to execute things. So apparently he/she appears to be working from procedure whereas his/her actions stems from choice. 

Obedience vs Self discipline

They say, "Obedience hampers a childs growth"."it will stop tek from being self thinkers". In other cases it might create rebels out of over demanding of obedience by adults,  the system and so on. Having said all this, isn't obedience considered one of
 the virtues; the quality one must possess. Then there is a phrase which says 'the person who knows to obey only can know to lead'. So where do we draw the line.  This is where the word self-discipline comes to the picture- each person following some basic rules true to himself. Can initiation of obedience bring aboit self discipline?
Obedience to most means submission to anothers' authority. But often we forget that it can also mean compliance with an order,  rule or command.  A thin line of demarcation where each person thinks, complies, and then follow; as against where one authority commands and the rest follow without any understanding or compliance, which is no good than feudalism.

So when we teach or introduce our children to the term obedience let's not curb their way of thinking, their queries..  Let's address those doubts and thoughts that night arise as to why he/she is asked to obey and then seek their compliance, agreement and lead them into self discipline. Let's not make them puppets who just follow. 

Picture poetry challenge

1.

You have surrounded my dreams and hopes You encircle all that is prized to me You capture yet you adorn You are the thing of all my jealousy Oh sparkling bangle 2.

Clinkle clankle , blue sparkle Circle of love, made of glass Adorns her wrist;so brittle! Or is it her heart- alas!

3.

Like the setting sun Is it thy wrath Or the intensity of your love Pray tell me, I'm at a loss to comprehend. 4.

Ohh, What can I say, What can I write, B is for Beauty and So it is for Blue... Just can say "BEAUTIFUL BLUE" 5.

Whenever you feel blue And the heart becomes as brittle as a glass Here is a hand I lend That offers you a love that's true Forever for you!

6.

Hold my hand, Lead me to your world. I'll come any distance with you, just to be with you, for Us. 7.

Let me touch you with my fiery amber And let me leave the seal of my warmth on your very being. So when you cite my seal you will burn with my love, And then be encircled in the halo of my blue 8.

The first time i saw the image...I was stunned for few seconds... it was the tip of the beauty temple... The saffron resemble a flag on it... & the bangles is the art work over it.... Beauty thou name is...... 9.

The stormy night that passed by, Sensuous and fulfilling, Lay the palm resting in calm, knowing that the Sun shines on it with hues of saffron and Orange,filling it with warmth, the blue with sparks of gold on the wrist like the Sun just showering its warm glow on the deep blue sky. In deep thoughts lay the palm with not a twitch..., how I wish .....

Love war

She stood there chin up, head held high,
a strange light shone in her eyes.,
Her lips shut tight.
did it hide a smile or a frown was hard to say,
A face of a solo warrior of a lost cause,

She saw herself in the mirror and said:

No more tears shall be shed

No more guilt no remorse

No more drowning of the heart in misery

No.more expectations from myself or the world.

For all I know is LOVE...let LOVE be me

No.more anticipating the divine

I am It, I'm divine.so let me rejoice

Untouched, unaltered,undeterred I'll love

Words

Words were all we had The beautiful patterns that formed When I typed to you and waited for a reply Words were all we had… and we spoke into the wee hours till the birds chirped us a lullaby for words were all we had But They weren’t mere words... They were unseen bridges The pathways that led us To the wondrous lands in our hearts The paradise of joy- unexplored Yet they were words after all When thoughts misguided and dictated Prejudices and presumptions reigned The paradise seemed a silly place Words struggled and choked Losing all meaning silence darkened Now I see no joyful paradise of hearty laughs and heartfelt songs Just nothingness that corrodes Each word that germinates, thus We lost only thing we had.. words… Words were all we had… Yet they were words after all

What IF?

What ifs are but a small part,

Minuscule part of my existence now

 haven't I come a long way

battling the what if s at every step

 insecurity is an old habit I guess

or is it the outcome of failures,

broken hearts, abandoned dreams

sinking feeling to the abyss

the quicksand of nothingness, the blackhole?

yes, haven't I been there too

tattered yet I moved on,

with open arm to accept life once again

Even if the only promise life offers is 

-of death-Only surety

yet again I stand on the threshold with a smile

 to hug only the beauty of mystical life,

ready even to be shattered if life may choose so,

without qualms about a single moment of life,

 moment that's me, 

moment that's love, 

.......I brave the uncertainty 

Divine Love

From the hazy cloudy sky He stares, with all his bright charm draws me to Him the divine who is in Me! My mind the haze of thoughts mundane His love the brightness that fills my heart Let the light from within illuminate And eliminate the frivolous... And let the divine prevail.. At the end-in the beginning, there is love n only love His Grace that shines through me...
His Grace that forms words through me

Let Life Happen

Let the elixir of life's mirth flow incessantly Let us acknowledge the gift that life is n rejoice Let the beauty of simplicity prevail.. Because- Life primarily is simple n blissful Let the uninhibited smiles of childhood never fade Let the laughter bouts bubble till the dentures fall off

Be REAL!

Man is a social being and we thrive on our connections with each other. 

A simple smile, a handshake, a hug or just an understanding nod from a friend suffices to make us feel loved. 

Sometimes we need to be that strong pillar for someone to hold on to and there might be other instances where we have to seek support to tread along. Whichever the case being real and true to oneself and the world is the only respite.

 'Fake until you make it' -won't serve any larger purpose for most of us may not know when we can stop faking. And each day the person we stare at in the mirror gradually becomes a complete stranger. So then whose life are we living?! We need not be that perfect friend, wife, sister or mother. We just have to be the perfect human with all our flaws, with all our limitations, who strive and seek to be better each day patiently.
