Beyond the Wrong doings and Right doings

"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field; I'll meet you there."

Intezaar

Khidki kinaare baithe intezaar karna, fuzool hai,

Na deewaarein bolti hain, na darvaaza khadakta hai,

Dil-e-naushad zameen par gir, kai tukdo main bikhar jaata hai,

Hum unhi tukdo ko chunne main, mashgool hua karte hain... :)

Taking the long way around

I crave for thee, my soulful self,
When all else is washing away,
You stand there, silently,
Gazing deep in endless depth.

No cries, no tears, not even a whispering sound,
Hand in hand with my soulful self,
We are taking the long way around.

Taking the longest way around :)

Lovers

Stop.
Coiling in her brain like snakes do.
Hiss.
But, do not poison.


Coil around her neck.
Strangle.
With all the mighty power that you have, lover.
Start.


Lovers, eh?

Salty water

He carried me across the ocean
On his back
Like a snail carries its shell.

Whether I am home to him
Or he is to me
Only the giant waves can tell.

If these waves billow greatly,
It is surely a sign, my dear
They are not the ones to cry needlessly
The shore just maybe near.

If over these waves today we fly,
We may fathom their endless depth,
If in these waves today we drown,
We can stop chasing that fleeting crown.

But if in this ocean today we live,
We can suck the salty water off each others mouths.
Fun, right?

Smoke baby smoke

Cigarettes and smoke
Linger in the air
Like the scent of his skin.

Tiny spirals
Go round and round
Like the words that he coined

Caught in between is she
In all her misery
Limping ahead
For one gasp of air.

Whether you like it, or not.

It is the wind that blows you in different directions,

Sways you away from one port to another,

Carries you, tarries you,

Whether you like it, or not.


It is the wind that often shows you the way,

Takes you forward and lets you stay,

Caresses your face, slows you down in the race,

Whether you like it, or not.

Some came into my life for a reason, others for a season and one for a lifetime.

I went on a 3 days spiritual retreat which helped me get closure in some areas of my life. It was my chance to enjoy solitude and I had many opportunities to reflect on my past, present and future. While on retreat, I came across a beautiful poem that I'd like to share with you. I hope that helps you answer some unanswered questions about your life. Godspeed!

Reason, Season, or a Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each 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 may seem like a godsend, and they are.
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.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

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.

Thank you 'B' for being the one for a lifetime :)

To those who depart and don't part

I kissed the walls goodbye
And bid farewell to the streets
that I once frequented
So often and so very often

The clouds cleared up that morning
Just so I could stare in the Sun's eyes for one last time
Before I leave

That night even the breeze caressed my face
And the trees hung down their branches
For one last touch.

The morning after my world changed.
With an immigrant visa lying firmly in my breast pocket.

Not gone with the wind

As I quietly lay in my bed that night,
I could hear the soft wind rustle gently against the window panes,
As the night went on,
The wind whistled, bellowed, strengthened its fervour,
Made its presence felt.

Thunderous nights often lead to strange dreams.

Dreams where promises seem empty,
Hopes seem rusty,
Life seems unworthy.
Dreams wherein dreams die.

I can hear the soft wind rustling gently against the window panes, tonight.
