Love Is Freedom

Its an illusion
of the mind,
to misjudge
the rose of freedom,
for the rope of binding
Is not love,
a mistress free??/

Love’s not a slave,
no master it serves…
Tenebrous task,
to tame one’s will
The tyrant within
must fall
to grounds beneath…

To bow in love
is no sacrifice,
A proof for
law of nature; is it
That love erases
the arrogant lines
of disparity…

Love, is not a prison,
no, its not a lake,
Not a bird in a cage…

It’s a castle without walls,
no boundaries, for her thoughts
It’s a stream, a river;
It’s a bird that sings,
that floats in sky
the splendor described
is love defined….

Romantic Night

Beneath this stormy night,
underneath the silver moonlight,
feel my heart beat faster,
as the gentle breeze
whispers mischief into our ears,
hand in hand,we’ll walk
through the years..

Words we speak tonight,
will live in our hearts forever,
those mystical eyes,
the romantic night…

Your hair, it flows
with the wind…
your perfume intoxicates,
it thrills…
let no secret between us lie,
let the clouds veil the sky….

The silver dust,
as it falls
take me in your arms,
my love….
let’s live the dream
my beloved queen
let me be the knight,
who wins your heart tonight…

No joy, no bliss
beyond the pleasure,
of your arms
I lay the throne
of my heart,
for you to dethrone…

No emotion deeper
than the love we share
let me see it in your eyes,
This romantic night…..

IMPERFECTIONS GALORE

The ultimate desire,the unconquerable quest and the inextinguishable thirst,for every soul that has ever graced this planet, has been to attain perfection, in this perfectly imperfect world. Be it personal or professional life of an individual,perfection in whatever one does is the most sought after prize.

Although,it would be impossible for any mortal being to attain perfection, the desire within never dies.And why should it? For every person has the right to have his own dreams.And the perfect dream for each one of us, we accept or not, is to be that perfect someone,we imagine ourselves to be. A child dreams of becoming a superhero. The same reflection remains in our mind throughout our lives. There is that perfect image of that “Perfect Me”, that drives our actions.

This quest for perfection is the fire that drives many to greatness. The desire to follow the steps of your idol, or even better to make your own path to that greatness, is the only staircase to self satisfaction. The vision of yourself standing on the same step as your idol is too big an inspiration to neglect.

The only glitch in the perfect movie, is the fact that imperfections are an inseparable part of perfection. To be perfect in all respect , in everyone’s eye,is a task beyond human capability. And to loose oneself striving to achieve something that is practically not attainable is the cause for many heart breaks and set backs.

No philosopher, neither a very good friend can teach you the limits of your perfection. It has to be a self motivated quest to find one’s own limits, or make it. And more importantly to adhere to it. And if possible, to stretch the boundaries till the extent possible.

The greatest perfection that a person can achieve is to accept that imperfections galore in the glittery world of perfectionists. Yet the only desire that should burn within is to be a part of that world where you satisfy the limits of your own perfectionism.

Words….

Words can bring a revolution,they say. Words can change people. Words can inspire, they can conspire. Words can create new dreams,they can bring dreams to reality.

Words, the mightiest sword that a human can device, they say.

Yes, they say….

What’s the worth of a word that’s spoken from the deepest corner of one’s heart?what’s the worth of a word that someone says to save his life? What’s the worth of a word that people say just for the sake of saying?

The most important question,though, what’s the difference between either of these words???

Some say words are just words, said because no one can keep silence. But my friend words are deeper than any silence can think of being.

Some say words are the expressions of one’s feelings, emotions. For whom?, i ask….does the world really cares about your words, my friend…

The harsh truth you accept once you face it is that words are just words, for everyone who’s around you. Words mean something and everything, just for the person who composes the verse.

Trust me my friend “Words have no Worth”.

And if you think i am an insensitive little wart that does not care for emotions or feelings, and thus can never understand the worth of human interchange of expressions, you are deeply mistaken mate. I have nothing in me that can express my inner soul, but these words i write. I worship every word that leaves my mouth. and that is the very reason i feel sorry for the neglect of every word that i say in the eyes of those for whom i say…..

Multi-faced me….

Some call me an enigma. Others rate me as a normal individual,a person with desires to achieve his goals. A person aspiring to be successful. Some even call me a philosopher. People and their interpretations….. you can’t stop them from judgment, can you?

If you ask me,though, what I am? I will come up with a blank reply,a confused expression on my face.No insight into what i really am. I am a stranger, for myself and for this world that exists outside.

I have had many faces that i have hidden,at times and flaunted at others. You may call me a case of split personality, the only difference being that there are so many personalities within me, that i loose track of the real me. I am a pessimist and the greatest optimist, both at the same time. I am a warrior and a coward, all at the same time. I am a philosopher and a weakened soul, again at the same time.

The person whom this world meets each morning, is the me whom i allow to be witnessed by the external world. the person whom my people see is the one who’s different from the first me. The person whom i see in my solitude and maybe someone else does, is the real me. I have learned to play this game of multi faced masquerade that i wear to fight my own fears. At the same time to preserve the inner me from the loss of his dream of divine happiness, that he still believes exists.

I don’t feel any joy in shading the parts of me into black and white and a multitude of different shades. I feel sorry for the soul that’s broken into pieces and sewed again each night in solitude. But i have never chosen my destiny myself. It has been my destiny that has always chosen its victim. I live with no regrets, but a hope, an undying fire within my heart that i will come through to that world that i have imagined and dreamed of each night. The world that’s mine. Where only the real me will exist, and accompanying me will be those who have seen this real me……i will survive….

CONFISCATED INNOCENT

Ask me not,

oh heavens!!!

why i sigh…

judge me not,

on that single sight…

an evil night,

it flipped my life…

A spectator was i,

most unfortunate

knows the sky….

those eyes did meet

for the last time it gleamed…

darkness did fall,

the dagger did rise

in a single blow

it stabbed two souls/lives

the demon had risen,

one last time

overpowered, the heart

had no choice

imprisoned am i

yet its guilt

which i can’t survive

this cruel world

believe me,

made me to react

i have nothing left,

but to sigh

a confiscated innocent

am I
