as i lay dying

                                            AS I LAY DYING

As I lay dying     
Looking for those last words to speak ,
And that special hand to hold
As I lay dying
Is there a spectacle to behold
of all that I ignored
As I lay dying
 hearing the last words Of their  wisdom,
 is there still something I could know?
As I lay dying
Breathing hard to breathe again
Believing I still can make a difference
As I lay dying
Trying hard to walk again
Forgiving life that gave me so much pain
As I lay dying
Still, motionless, with my eyes closed
In anguish , I plead with my soul
As I lay dying
Thoughts flash across my brain,
My entire life just passed through in a matter of few seconds
Some people entered, so many people left
The story, whose chapters I just read
But those moments were so much longer
The feelings so much intense
Was it just an exaggerated melodrama
 I just lived in a few seconds ?
As I lay dying contemplating
How far did I reach? How further could i go?  
All my life I had been running
For  what? I still don’t know
To reach that unprecedented destination
A rigorous never ending marathon,
I just sprinted in a few seconds ?

As I lay dying
Thinking of what was, what is and what will be
 what I did when I was living, is that what you do when you are dead?
As i lay dying
When was I alive? When will I be dead ?
As I lay dying
What is life ? and what is death?

solitude is bliss

Solitude is Bliss !! Born alone into the womb of a mother, Away from friends, family and the mix The world full of its diversifications Never knew all of it exists A convergence of flesh, hair and bones, I could have given a miss Solitude is bliss !! A chapter of nomenclature and belonging In a world of myriad beings A lecture on the do’s and the don’t’s With the seen and the unseen Mind put through constant learning with conditioning in the mix Solitude is bliss !! Building connections on the way with the various manifestations you meet alone one is lonely togetherness is what we should seek understanding diversity and their confusions makes me sick solitude is bliss !! Running towards the aspirations The desires I need to fulfill An array of emotions, of love With the one, to make me complete But nothing lasts forever, burnt to ashes is my every wish Solitude is bliss !! Ignorant in the womb, of existence Indifferent under the wh...

i am a thought

I AM JUST A THOUGHT i was thought of a long time ago, all along with many seeds that were sown I never had a name, nor identity any in an instant , that one became too many the body, the traits , the looks were put in place , and all that i would do, all that i would face while in the beginning i knew from where i sprang but amidst confusion, i forgot who i am? the thoughts kept moving and i lived all for gains and kept succumbing to the different kinds of pains limited, yet unlimited, the thought in itself started to think and for generations embodied all in an instant wink forever ignorant , thoughts turned to perpetual wants performing actions, with emotions riding the horns shining in this illusory world with pleasure and pain well defined I realized, seeking them is a waste of time Willingly, the thinking itself sunk in the thought lucidly revealing all i am not !!!! when the mind itself ceases to exist i am a thought that disappears in ...

eternal love is eternal bliss

when love transcends the boundaries of physicality and the senses, it reaches the level of the soul, wherein you realize and experience that what you had been craving for externally was always within you, this poem talks about the same journey of experience. also not to forget that love is divine walking at my own pace, i couldnt notice the tears, the sorrow, the pain i gave to peers running towards my goals, goals i never found, treaded with watchful eyes, with my soul full of fears sleeping to my mistakes, procrastinating what my heart should face, waking from my dream , i seek thee i look for thee i searched every nook and corner, i searched foreign lands, i travelled every river , every mountain on this land i spoke with every stranger, i begged from every man i called out your name every morning, i whispered to you every plan my love i look for thee, i seek thee i went to every temple, i bowed at every mosque, i sat at every shrine, i asng at every church ...
