i am afraid

-

 

not the height,
not the depth,

not the ageing,
not the weather;

but I am afraid of
me when I don't learn;

not the sound,
not the flashes,

not the snakes,
nor the insects; 

but I am afraid that
lessons will be wasted;

not the fist
nor its punch,

not the people
poking all the time;

but I am afraid if
I take same loss on and on;

I am afraid that
I will move on from my regrets

I am afraid that
I will be stuck at same level,
Fixing myself over and over.

I can't take the
beatings which are repetitive

I want to learn the
lesson before the next event

But I am afraid
I keep on making same mistakes

I don't want an eternal
chain of regrets with same root

I am afraid
I don't make new mistakes
as I am tangled with old ones

I am afraid that 
I don't give chances to life
for new experiences and memories

and hence I am afraid
I would become the
teller of the same story.

I wish I see you

I go out for a walk, an evening on the streets; I see a tall woman, at a store eating sweets; I think that it's you, and my heart skips a beat; I take a closer look, and I walk in defeat; Oh, it's not the first time, that I wished to see you; Fooled myself many times, that I get to see you; Long hair - I think it's you, Late nights - I think it's you, Crowded - I think it's you, Concerts - I think it's you; I can't say for sure, when I see you again; I live with treasures, with us in a frame; I want to see you smile, where finds my heart its peace; I want to know you're doing fine, which keeps my day at ease; To be honest, I thought you would be my beside; For now, I just want to see you one more time; I walk and walk, to see you; cross the roads, to see you; stop at shops, to see you; look around, to see you; In the end, I reach the home, without seeing you; In the hall, I look at the pic, where I see me and you; I settle in the bed, I smile, rememberin...

A poem for you..!

-
Not much I know about you;  But some I know enough to write.    I know that you  are kind, Know that you listen; Think that is  enough, To write about you.   Your eyes smile, Your words wait, Your actions express, that your people are important.   Funny and teasing, But also you are So calm and caring;   Who wants a chiseled body, when you can  make me comfortable; Who wants a handful money, when you can  make me happy.   A real treasure, A great companion, An ultimate friend, for those who choose you.    I am lucky to know you, To talk to you; Accept my poem, As I submit to you.    This is a reminder, for you and me; That you are a great person worth cheer, and to hold dear...

Don't be 52

Life is not meant to be fair or flair,   It is of hairs and cries. Don't get afraid.   Wait to think, it is wise. Don't wait after thinking. You lose the choice.    Explore, implore, Everything is a wonder, Let it in and learn.    Be enough, choose enough, Say no to more than enough.  Simplicity is a beauty.    If you don't say,  People will assume. You don't know what they assume.  When you have only two brain cells,  why kill them with anger?   Show up,  let things go forward.  What's the use of fear, if it does not help you be better?  Try, try and fail. Fail, fail and try. You may not have the past, Not know the future,  But present is yours. After all, It's just 25, Not 52!
