#Happy_Chocolate_Day 

Chocolate is my happiness 

when life brings joy or stress 

It’s sweet notes of symphony 

Just melt in the mouth deliciously 

Bitter sweet melody lingers on 

Long after the performance ends 

Each note is a tasty testament 

Of its luscious melting temperament 

Oh! Dear chocolate,in  solitude 

You cheer me up,raise my mood 

Sharing with friends on any occasion 

Be it for comfort,solace or celebration !

Pray everyday is a chocolate day 

Let the bitter sweet taste always stay 

In each bite of the sweet dark fantasy 

I sing and dance in  sheer ecstasy !!!

Lose_yourself_to_find_yourself

 #Lose_yourself_to_find_yourself 

Lose yourself to find yourself 

Is what the saints have said 

Oh ! dear , oh dear , I need help 

this just does not fit into my head !

And then,it dawned on stupid me 

what do I really want  to be ? 

Why do at times i feel stuck or lost 

Wonder what road I must walk ?

What’s holding me back to find myself 

To walk the path of divine manifest 

Why don’t I let go ,beliefs of this limited mind ?

Why am I stuck up to my thought grind ? 

I grew up wanting to become a boss 

In that rat race my real identity was lost 

Selflessness and humility went for a toss 

It was then all about myself and my class .

Worries and stress became a part of life 

To stay ‘one up ‘ was my mantra to survive 

Happiness was waxing and waning each day 

Peace and solace ran miles and miles away 

I learnt the hard way ,to change myself 

I let go EGO building a false image of self 

I don’t have to be a “SOMEBODY”to succeed 

Just to be my true self, is all that i need 

Being a “NOBODY “brought liberation and peace 

I  was now only my true soul nature of bliss 

True nature of awareness from which virtues sprout 

My peace was not disturbed by the worldly shouts .

Birth of a poem

 #Birth_of_a_poem 😀😀😀

I talk less, and write more 😀

But oh no ! I am never a bore 

I think less ,I go more extempore 

My words come from my hearts core 

Invisible scenes in my clear mind 

Become alive without a grind 

Words just flow like a waterfall 

At times they keep rolling like a ball 

Random thoughts pour unhindered 

Clueless they get entwined in a bundle 

To form sentences with life’s meanings 

Alive and so true to my day dreaming 

When my mind goes awry ,my heart speaks 

It quietens my mumbly minds loud squeaks 

The words which pour after this high tide 

Are full of wisdom as I pen them in stride 

So if you are feeling lost and grumpy 

Don’t become restless like a monkey 

Just pick up your pen and listen to your heart 

A crazy funny poem will get a head start !

Twilight

#Twilight 

You think you've seen the sunshine 

Just continue to silently walk with me 

it's the  mesmerizing mysterious twilight 

which tastes like heady old vintage wine ..

basking in twilight’s  glory I rest for a while 

reminiscing my many wandered squandered miles 

when all I needed was unbroken sunshine 

twilight never ever was my  logistic lifeline 

Desires were so big I kept running after time 

never ever chose to miss the golden sunshine

I kept chasing away the scattered raindrops  

and basking under the sunbeam on the roof top 

Time clocked on ,black clouds covered the sun 

wrapped in  the canopy of  tattered shrouds 

I kept gasping and fighting for my vital breath

as if it was mpending death in life and life in death 

It’s then that the  beauty of twilight  dawned within 

In the turning of twilight came the shadows of moonlight 

soothing my soul in the waves of tranquility coming through 

life became meaningful as I embraced the  darkness anew 

Yes that’s so very true....

life gets new meanings as it continues 

You think you've seen the splendid sunshine 

Just continue to  silently walk with me 

it's the  mesmerizing mysterious twilight 

which tastes like heady old vintage wine

परछाईं

परछाईं

ये  अपनी  ही  परछाइयों  में 

क्या  ढूंढ़  रहा  है  मन  मेरा

ये. कौन  सी  है  आरसी 

किस  दिशा  में  हूँ  चल  पड़ा

पग  पग  पर  हैं  इम्तिहान 

डरना  नहीं,   ऐ  मेरी  जाँ 

चोट  खा  कर  समभलना

है  हर  ज़िंदगी  की  दास्ताँ 

तू  बढ़ाते  जा  अपने  क़दम 

आत्मविश्वास  और    दृढ़ता

को  बना  अपने    हमदम 

कम  हो  जायेगा  हर  फ़ासला 

तेराअक्स  है  तेरे  साथ  साथ

सुन  उसकी  अन्नकही  बात

अंतर्लीन  बन  जा  ज़रा  ज़रा 

हर  सवाल  का  जवाब  मिल  जाएगा

AMAZING ARCHITECT

                                      Amazing Architect 

Amazing awesome architect 

no needle and no thread 

still you’ve sewed the body perfect 

the abode of the soul ardent 

No rough edges no clippings 

even leaves have fancy trimmings 

no store houses built to feed 

still nature fulfills every creatures need 

Sweet  fragrances pervade

with no scent bottles to trade 

air flows  freely to give life  

without fans or wheel drives 

No oceans in the sky 

still rains come thundering by  

from the mystic space above 

to  spread cheer and love 

Umpteen colors of life  

are spread far and wide 

how do you paint the world 

without an easel and a brush  

You’ve lighted up the universe 

without electric wires to pierce 

no courts around  that I can see 

you still give judgements 
and listen to our plea 

Our gratitude falls short 

as we  bow and pray to you 

from the depth of our heart

your invisibility beats human intellect 

Our  Amazing awesome architect

Oh! Life I Love You

Oh ! Life ,I love you 

Oh ! life ,

my  beautiful co traveler 

what should I say 

I love you every day 

what you give 

me on this path 

I will accept

with all my heart ...

Oh ! life 

I don’t know till today 

why i never 

understood your ways 

I love you so much 

that I  keep walking 

with hope and faith 

as long as you are with me 

I fear no enemy ...

Oh ! life 

your roads at times 

are full of puddles 

and potholes 

at times ,soft green grass 

strewn with earthy flowers 

both exist side by side 

you’ve taught me to 

endear them alike ...

Oh ! life 

despite all the pain 

you never leave my side 

even when I cry 

you raise my spirits 

by  strength and courage 

and bring joy and pleasure 

for me to treasure ..

Oh ! life 

you are Gods gift 

so it matters not 

if you drop me 

or give me a lift 

it’s these ups and downs 

which make  me feel alive 

for to live  life 

in a straight line 

means I don’t really survive ....
