Sometimes, Abstract thoughts run though the mind, and the flow of words just form a rhyme. It is when you actually go through what random words were penned, you realize that these are actually ur true desires or thoughts which have jus been put to paper. Here's a poem that I wrote a couple of days bak jus randomly sittin down. Its bout what everyone wants and how to achieve it and about the enormous joy of reaching ur goal. it goes something like,,,,,,

The Name!

In shades grey,
In shades blue!
In every shade;
I see you!

You're standing round the corner;
Giving me a stare!
My minds confused;
bout how I would fare!

But confusion aint gonna help;
Coz the bigger problem;
is how to get there!

With eyes open;
With eyes closed!
Everytime I look;
I see you!

Still standing round the corner;
Still beckoning me to come to you!
But the path to you is blocked;
I'm wondering how to reach you!

This is a chance for my mind to think;
to do the same thing others do!
The same thing as others you say;
Why is that difficult?
Coz I gotto do the same thing different!!

I just can't take your stare;
I want to reach you to make it end;
At last I figured out a way;
I have to take that longer bend!

Making my way round the bend;
Carving a path With a blend;
Of drops of sweat;
and The tears of joy!
I found you!!!
But you gave me a last task of naming you!

Some call you success;
Some others Prosperity!
Some call you Satisfaction;
Then there are Some who dont know you!

But for all you have taught me;
For what you have made me!
There only one name I wanna give you;
I'm gonna call you Happiness!!!!!!

In the Reflection!

Heres nother one of my poems....... well this one is quite simple n subtle actually. Each of us today think only as far as ourselves. We are lost in our world, our own needs, our own motives and seldom do we remember the others!!! .... People today are so involved in their own lives that they see no need to devote some time to other people who matter..... other people who care for them! ...... So this poem hopefully tries to suggest the importance of thinking beyond urself and to give importance to others....coz though they are others... some of them are ur own! ..... welll hope u can understand what this poem is trying to say! it goes something like......

In The Reflection!!

I sneek a gaze et the mirror,
to see no one else but me,
The sight i got to see,
was one best left undescribed to thee!

Horrors unleashed,
monsters let loose!
All reaching out from the mirror,
their arms armed to difuse!

Difuse wat one may presume,
Ah! but there in lies the subtle truth!
They r only trying to free,
my mind from something called ME!

for ME has destroyed so many lives,
from high peaks sent them to low dives!
my life is not far apart,
ME too in this vigil played a part!

gone are times to be vain,
and look back later in utter disdain!
lifes little revolution has turned around,
Oh! about it I heard not a single sound!

only cos I only heard Me!
Not those who called out!
from this shame I cud not flee!
from the mirror I had never reached out!

the time has come to end this ME,
In the reflection lies the answer,
the same mirror, the same place!
the same person yet a different face!!!!

And Then I Say.....

Hey....here's one of the latest poems ive written. This one was written a few days ago in a very sleepy n boring class. All around me people were asleep, but alas my eyes were still wide open. I felt like mind was gonna go kaboom; like i wanted to change things. Then it happened my mind went Kaboooom! n out came this short poem bout realization n about changes. Changes that we expect, changes that we know we should make. Not in others but in ourselves. But these very changes r ones that we dont make. Why cant we just try to mould ourselves even a wee bit when it can take us to a much better standing. well thts something which Ive not yet understod fully. But still i'd like to put forward this poem as a mark of the necessity of changes!!!!! Hope u can understand it! It goes something like .....

And Then I Say!

Why am I dazed?
I sit and Blink!
not givin my mind;
a single chance to think!!
Life seems no fun;
I have all burden under the sun!
complaining bout work not done;
How can it be? when its not even been begun!
And then I say "I hate Working!"

There is but a danger lurking!
A danger of bliss!!
Lotsa chances to miss!!
The time is ripe to forget the bygone;
To change myself;
To see a new dawn!
I may never fit this bill!
Coz I'm a follower of will!
My own tune I keep humming;
And then I say "I ain't Running!!"

I never express;
I only suppress!
Feelings of happiness;
Feelings of Pain!
In it there is nothing to gain!!
Jays and sorrows are best to share;
But I prefer the route of Despair!
Using this thought of sharing; I do not Dare!!
And then I say "I don't Care!!"

Though this state I can foresee;
Implementation alone holds the key!
I hope to change;
To become, Who I can be!
And then I can say "I Feel like a Winner!;
I feel Free!!!"

As I Wait!

Heres the latest. This is about how we all seem to have some sort of mind block. Why do we feel that the entire world is against us and that we are all alone to wage out fight against everyone else's will. The actual drift is that our mind is blocked and fails to see the ones that care about us and how we only tend to realize our near and dear ones and their good will for us when we are in more than a spot of bother. This poem is one that depicts that realization. We can just hope that it is not to late when we realize that we are not alone.

AS I WAIT!!!

My head hurts,
Drops of Sweat flow down my cheek,
My mind's locked in a wooden crate,
As for death to come to me, I Wait!

Mirrors on the left,
And those on the right,
Reflections seen,
gave me a fright!

Memories linger,
Thoughts wander,
I can feel the touch,
Of people who grew fonder!

Why in this state am I,
when they're still present?
It then struck me,
I had no one else to blame for my decent!

Alas! I had locked my own mind in that crate,
Never once seeing the Twist of fate!
Now realizing Life was at stake,
It was time to open up that crate!

I searched frantically for the key,
Right beside me I did not see!

Now I want my mind released from the crate,
As for death I no longer wait!!!!

The Others!

Hey .. after a long time have started posting new poems again... lotsa them ... will post soon.... this one is about how we tend to worry about other people's opinions and judge ourselves even when we are right. Its about realizing that their's is after all an opinion and does not matter in the flow of things. What matters is whether or not we believe in ourselves and are ready to stand up for what we know is right. It goes something like this....

The Others

Walking in thoughts lost,
I suddenly stopped in my track!
Could feel the heat,
Of a cold stare on my Back!

Terrified as I ran to hide,
My life moves a downward slide!
The best hiding place is'nt far or near,
Only way is to face the fear!

Eyes of fear,
eyes of doom!
Touch spine chilling,
teeth so sharp!
The mind but needs a melody,
to drive away the gloom!
A tune as soothing,
as plays a shiny golden harp!

Wether a foe or someone dear,
when faults not your's why should you hear!

Life's sometimes not all fair!
That ai'nt reason enough to despair!
Just forget about the prying eyes!
Lost in bliss, watch as time flies!

The time has come to burst the bubble,
to make those staring eyes disappear!
The looming storm, the impending dark,
Will also no longer be here!

Set your soul free,
forget and forgive!
Be yourself truely,Let the others be,
Thats exactly the way to live!!!!

The one Dreaded Evil away from home!!!

hi!!! well heres the latest .... its dedicated to all my fellow grad students here in the usa who know what goes on beneath that rosy picture of us that is painted bak home!!! the struggle to meet deadlines... the midnite walks.. the endless outings... the meet ups to finish pending work.. the frantic calls to find out whos completed how much...! everything...! of course the fun factor always finds its own way.. but theres something that we are always up against !!! read on need not say more......!!!

The One Dreaded Evil

They say evil has many faces;
Think I jus saw one!
But the reason why I could, was known to me;
Deep within I saw it coming;
Though never did I care;
After all did it matter that much?
Cos it comes despite all the despair!

This face of evil , one known yet unknown!
Keeps popping with forseen alarms;
It doesnt give me a chance to run;
Efforts to hide are put to rest!
It destroys my mind; It causes great pain;
Yet I gotto fight; one which I gotto win!
Winning or loosing aint in my hands,
But i strive to give my best!

Alas! swinging minds blow me away from the battlefield;
To a place so heavenly n divine;
I loitred around in a state of bliss;
the chance to fight this way i missed;
the fight was still on I had forgotten;
Time was gone to fight again;
I stood defeated conquered by the evil;
bringing with it a state of gloom;

I thought to myself; maybe next time;
Ill prepare n fight the oncoming doom;
But then i found; evil but has many faces after all;
they came in a group this time;
I stood defeated again;
almost out of my mind;
I said aloud ; its of no use;
next i shall not fight;
Ill just give in; whatever be my plight;
The evil was far too strong; it conquered one and all;

Still; in a land far away from home; often screams are heard;
Oh No! here comes the face of evil;
Its called an Assignment!



ps : U cud also replace assignment with Midterms ;) or well thts yet another face of evil !

Whats Inside!!

Heyy! heres the next post... or rather the next poem... well this one is quite simple... we all think we know ourselves in n out..! but it ain't like that..! I think its more like we have many sides , many facets to our own personality.. that we don't know of ! Sometimes the smallest of happenings make us withhold ourselves from doing what we know we should be.
We all try n show off our best side to the world. But sometimes that ain't quite enuf is'nt it? Well so heres a poem that deals with discovering the true inner self that lies within each one of us, n enjoying its beauty to the fullest. Cos inside each of of us lies a close to perfect person, whose potential n ability is just waiting to be tapped! hope this poem provides some insights!

Whats Inside!!!!

Its whats inside that really matters,
needles after all put together bits n tatters!

harsh they may seem,
living sans a dream,
plenty to look back n regret,
some things one would rather forget,

stormy winds gatherin speed,
violent splashes at the creek,
no one do they ever heed,
boulders too feelin meek!

But silent waters indeed run deep,
into thou soul they continue to seap,
within lies a beautiful world,
silently waiting to unfold,

Its never visible on the outside,
access to it is never denied,
visible thru a mirror,
it is waitin to be discovered,
to be understood!

carrying with it a radiant glow,
waiting to reach out n never let go!!
