Destiny

Today  if I ask, who am I?

you told me the answer long back.

Today if I think, what should I do?

you told me the answer long back.

Today if I do, anything I wanted to do..

you have declared the result, long back.

 

At times, in the twilight,

I ask myself, what’s wrong with me?

I ask myself, why am I so bothered?

why I am nudging myself, towards the green endeavour?

you have shown me the way long back.

 

Sometimes, the ways may differ!

At times the thinking may not match!

In a duel both sides can’t win!

In life we need to continue swim.

 

They say, tomorrow never dies.

I say memory never lies.

You say, my path is God made.

God may be saying something else.

Memory and tears

The scream of labour pain,
vagire from a red squeezed face,
Falling in love with a blossoming rose,
Iced tears still heart goes.

Failure carries lot of tears,
success caries lot of tears,
Happiness carries lot of tears,
Peace carry a drop of tear.

When something happens to mind,
when a droplet kisses to chick,
when feel comes for share or to be lone,
When life gives support to bone.

If at all, you feel pain,
if you feel, you never gain!
dive in memory, deep, very deep,
Sure get a smile with few drop tears.
