Transfixed.

When the sky bows down to caress the waves,
the audience stands still.
Mesmerized, transfixed for eternity,
transforming into rocks at the shore.
As if cursed for witnessing the union of Gods!
The Earth, the sky, air, water
and the fire they withhold.

The good poet

A good poet writes poetry for everyone, still,
writes as if you are the one being talked to.
As if the words on the paper are meant  just for you.
As if the emotions are only for you to be felt.
The love,the longing, the pain the heartbreak all for you.

Who writes like you are being held in an embrace tightly.
As if you are safe inside the blanket of the woven poem.
As if the world spins around only for you.
The life, the lessons, the gratitude, the prayers all for you.

It's like magic! uplifting people, giving them hope.
Making them look forward to another day,
waiting for life to keep happening,
In a brand new way.

Real world.

For half a lifetime have been living in a world of my own.
High time I stepped out of it to meet the real world.
Hope it's not as deceitful as I feared it would be.
Hope it is prettier than I imagined it to be.
Where love exists not only in books.
Where people are basically good.
Respect for others natural.
Life without limitations.
And all can breathe.
Equality exists.

Alive & kicking.

Don't miss out on anything while at home...

Sail on the ship of clouds,
swim in the ocean of sky,
breathe the air around you,
let the Moon show you the way.

Close your eyes,
let your imagination loose,
bask in the warmth of your loved ones,
feel the sand under your toes.

Break the barriers of limitations,
grow each day as a person,
taller in tolerance, fatter in love,
harness the impossible into submission.

Hear the birds chirping,
the squirrels screaming,
the cuckoo singing its heart out,
let the positive vibes set in.

World is not the best place right now for living,
but it's the only one we have got,
so, cherish each passing day,
for you are still alive and kicking.
