TREES – The Structure of Life

U Stood there,
like a lifeless pillar,
with breeze around,
n friends in rear,
I asked them..
O grandpa dear,
do u got stories to hear..,

standing there in the cool ply..,
I’ve seen the time fly,
Love, life, happiness, sorrow...,
Nothing that I had to borrow.

Been an abode,
and a fighting warrior..,
protecting you too.,
like a loving father.

Flowers, thorns, branches and leaves,
Everyone has lesson to give.
The feelings, the thoughts,
The recurrent doubts..,
and ever those surfacing bouts.
Remember there’s horizons too,
In the clouds if u see them through.

Every journey offers some role,
No matter, meagre or bold.
And that’s where lies the gold.
Cause its journey that matters..,
When destination untold.

Life’s bargain

Preface

When I look back the past the thought of good and bad fills me with a very indifferent feeling. Usually people cherish the good which had made a landmark in their life and careers. I cherish both.., as every experience in life had led me grow each step professionally and personally. Today, if someone asks me to go back in yesterday and change my life, what I’ll change ..? ‘cause which they think I would/or should had made me grow into a person I am now.

LIFE’s BARGAIN

Whenever the life,
Offered me a bargain…,
To exchange for the past,
That has caused some pain.
I’ll deter the offer,
And turn it politely down,
‘cause it’s a petty deal,
which makes me frown.

I agree that sometimes,
It made me suffer some degrees,
And also loose interest
In some filthy meagrees,

But see the picture…,
There’s another side too,
And it is important as it made
Me face the tide through.

With each pain,
I gained a lot of life.
In experience and in expertise,
And I in persona too.
Learning with every valuable stride,
For which I’ll always be pride.
Its been a test..,
For me,
And people too…,
So to segregate the rest,
When I am through.

So Now, you tell me
What you could give
For all the valuables
That lies with me.

I Am There With You

Preface

Someone told me their story one night, it was so brave yet painful. I don’t know the person not even the environment; just felt that he wants to convey his pain through me. The pain he felt after giving all through his life, to all those around.

I AM THERE WITH YOU

I know
you are standing tall,
Like a solid stone wall,
Supporting and protecting,
all those who hold meaning..,
in their pride and self esteem.
In joy, in sorrow,
And in all the fears,
You’ve been through them
in all their years.

Rose to the tower
Been a lighthouse for all,
No matter had it be,
Big or small.

The journey was long,
With a long tough road
But you’ve never lost..,
Any of the foothold.
With eyes steadily focused,
like Arjuna’s goal.

Now that you’ve got Greatness and glory,
Time to come to write, A whole new story.

The story that’s very close to the heart.
Which never in future makes you apart.

Found a soul mate,
The suitor of your kind..,
But wait…!
Why.., all the people mind.

Are they afraid of losing the wall,
Which had been protecting them for so long.
I am not taking the cover off you..,
So don’t be afraid of my joys too.
Don’t I deserve them for after so long
To get the world to which I belong.

Now that I asked for my right,
What brings in this tough fight.

I feel that I am alone
Standing in this crowd,
To which I’ve always been so proud.

What to do.. I asked my thee..,
Should I move on..,
Or should I plea...!

Hearing this…,
My soul came close and
Said unto me..,
Whatever you choose..,
It’s always WE.

Either you falter
or either you fly,
you’re not alone,
with me and ‘thy’,
when you cry…,
I cry with you too,
And you happiness,
Brings joys to me too.

I would love to see you,
Rise very high,
With each step that you ply.
And in the evenings when you’re done
Never feel that you’re all alone.
‘cause next to you
you’ll always find..,
another shadow,
that’s mine.

So whatever the path,
Wherever you go.
I am there..,
…always with you.

The Last Words

Preface
Usually last words are the ending of any story or epic. But they hold special meaning to me, as I consider everything eternal like life. Even after it’s end it continues to breathe somewhere else. It may seem the end of a story, but actually it is a beginning of another. It reminds me of Ekta Kapoor’s serials, moving in new era with entirely new scenario and people.
For me, the last words means to stop using enough words and get into ACTION; The Karma of life, and to build your destiny. Last words is signing in to your Dreams and work with all heart and soul to take you further towards the horizons of a challenging future.
Hope you stay with me through all this Action.

THE LAST WORDS

The last words…
Would be my beginning,
To a new era
And a new turning,
Towards the dream
That’s always burning,
And for which the heart
..is always beating.

When the word list
Getting wider and bigger,
And the conversations
Seems more than thicker,
Its time it said
Now stop dreaming,
Now is the time
To do the creaming,
Churn up the knowledge pool,
So you’re no longer
Considered a fool.
now get geared up with
All the tools,
So the future is not spoonfuls,

The horizon above is big and wide
And get ready to take on the tide
Taking everything
That comes to your stride,
So no longer its foolish bride.

Get everything in perfect tuning,
for a Perfect Horizon..,
...A complete beginning.

If I Were a Santa Claus

Preface
Santa Claus holds special meaning for children, bringing them small gifts of joy. Little did the santa knew that every human in this world longs for him to bring smile to them and take away their worries, problems and hard struggles of time.
But on this day, when I see soo much pain in people’s eyes, their hard never-ending struggle then I feel being really poor, who has nothing to offer to the world.
So, today my wish to santa is.. “make me rich so I become Santa myself, and bring joy to the eyes where sadness rests”
Amen.

IF I WERE A SANTA CLAUS
If I were a santa,
Dressed in red and fanta,
I would come to you everyday..,
To listen to your every say,
So that you are never alone,
And all you things are always done.
The sun Shines Bright at you,
And joys are never tight with you,
A new day to look up for,
And no hurdle to shook you up.
Loved ones to share life with,
And someone special to cry with.
All the joys you could dream of,
Always offered with life’s cream of.
So you always shine bright,
Like the morning sunlight.

Transcend the Pain

Pain is a great Teacher,
Life’s foremost preacher,
Growing with the birth,
To know a persons mirth,
Each phase to test,
To know what’s your best,
Introducing you to the
unknown you,
so you can always be true,
to liberate talent and energy,
and to achieve the untimate,
“synergy”

So, everytime,
When the challenge is hard,
and the destination seems too far,
the creping pain holds you sad,
but the task is still at hand,
then thinking probably…
Why Me ??
Think that…
Why can’t WE !
The reason why its entrusted in you
Cause you got the capacity too.

Bigger the cause, Longer the road,
Stronger the person, Glory untold,
So fear not the pain,
Embrace it…
Cause the sages said…
“No pain, No gain”

Love Thyself

preface
There are moments in life when we loose confidence in ourselves, our beliefs and dreams. We don’t know who to follow and who to surpass.
“The destination seems afar
and the journey pretty tough,
and we don’t know who to trust. “
At these times we keep on looking from love and support from the outside world forgetting that we as ourselves has great reservoir of it. If you look back to all those success stories and right decisions made, it was never because of any other person but you. So, before loving and respecting anyone else, give it to yourself and give in abundance. don’t say to yourself “Poor me” but rather say “I am the Best” and enjoy seening yourself the best with time.

Love Thyself

How can I stop falling in love with
With the soul called “I”
For that was the only companion
With “thy”
In the happiness, sorrow, grief and cry
Even in the times when loneliness
Made you dry!
When you asked for love..,
It never refused
And in times of struggle
It was not diffused.
Whenever I walked,
It was there like a shadow
Through the rocks, sands
and mellow-meadow.

It knows you better
than anyone you think,
the potential, the strength,
and the metal never seen.
It’s the best friend…,
When you need someone the most
Cause it’ll never leave you lonely
Even if its never host
So get up .., And smile
Not to the world..,
But to the love, inside you hold.
Life may betray you..,
People may do that too..,
But remember that..,
Its never you should do to you.

Give yourself the due it deserves,
Love and respect, comes In foremost.
Set up some goals,
For Tomorrow to look forward to.
And communicate you feelings
So you are not alone.
A pattern of change,
The environment will show,
For each hurdle you will tow,
Now with each stride,
The world is mine,
Now I wake to a new SUNSHINE.

The Child Inside

The Child in Me..,
Wonders why..!
With growing years, we turn so dry
Without any laughter, and sabotaged cry
More and more we suppress..,
All that the heart longs to pry.

The selfless plays,
The long cherished dreams,
In the daily monotonous streams
Where’s that all… ?
That gives us Joy…,
Those small passionate Toys..,
The songs, the Colors,
The ambitions plays,
The Friends, the Love,
And the lovelorn days,
Sitting with Mom-Dad, Dada-dadi
Enjoying a Cuppa or Chatteratti,

But now the days are like time-table,
With no breaks but continuous labor,
Drinking the cuppa all alone,
And the meals too..,
are just chores,
Gone are the days with wind so cool,
When we use to forget the blues.

But wait still..,
We’ve come not so far,
As life still holds Horizons at Par,
At least to enliven the dreams for tomorrow,
So you don’t have to feel any sorrow.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Preface
“When you have a wish or a dream, and you take the step forward to realize it then the whole universe conspires with you to work magic in your life” The nature gives so many signals in the forms of coincidences to say its with you, only thing required is a vision to read it. Give it a little try… and you may understand that too.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Every Time I see Light
Shinning at me…
blinking bright,
Feels like the stars are
Sending Smiles to me,
Telling me…
We know…
Everything from here
A special Dream,
That twinkles in your heart.

So, whenever the thought
kindles your soul,
I’ll send you a twinkle
To let you know…
Have faith in yourself
and your dreams too,
cause I am here to
take care of the rest for you.
Stay focused,
Fulfilled and Joyful Too.

Survive and Sustain

Preface
There are times when life seems bleak and survival impossible. Relations, Dreams and Future hold no meaning. Every thing that you knew, you can, now you feel, you can’t. Not because you’re no longer capable but had just lost the trust. It’s not Dreams that had been shattered, but the faith to make it true. So Dear, fear not ! ‘cause this is not destiny, only a phase which will surpass with time. For now Survive the time and the individual will Sustain.

Survive and Sustain

For every Dream entrusted in you,
For every hope that imbibed in you,
For every seed that nurtured in you,
For every prayer made for you,
For every knowledge learned by you,
For the prudenth truth that stood for you,
For nobody else….
But just you…
Survive and Sustain.

Woman of Excellence

Preface
This peace is a Compliment to Kannan, who has gathered so beautiful roses in vibrant colors from Bible and put them up for the world to see. It makes every woman feel beautiful and provides and insight into herself. Beauty they say lies in the eyes of beholder and truly beautiful needs no reclaim. Beauty is not skin deep, beauty is not inside; it lies in the life you live and the life you give. Its living lively and completely. Give love, hope, dreams, and success to any individual and see their life and persona transform. So the Virtue lies in not finding but by creating all around you, by giving in little bits and seeing them revert back in abundance.

Must read: http://kannan8620.blogspot.com/2005/09/woman-of-excellence.html

Woman of Excellence

Every woman a virtuous woman,
who findth the man who respects,
not only the beauty in her,
but the dignity she commands,
its not she is evil or selfish,
its the world maketh her so,
by constantly ignoring her inner self,
and misunderstading her words,
kindness, love and her wisdom,
shows her with a bigger kingdom.
so respect every woman,
give all the love and kindness,
and see her transform to a lady,
of pride, virtues and dignity.
..cause every woman is a virtuous woman,
who findth the right man.

Daddy’s Little Girl

Preface
My dad’s always been confused about me. My different hobbies, career changes, temperament and the little joys. He compares me with mercury “pal mein tola, pal mein masha”. i don’t deny him, as mercury I am… cause I belong to the versatile sign of Gemini and had to do everything this world offers. As I get only one life to live, I want to live it to fullest with no regrets for future.

Daddy’s little Girl

Vivid, spontaneous and very charming
This little girl is daddy’s darling,
She is confused, yet knows every why
So that the world won’t make her shy
Versatile, clever and very expressive
To understand life’s every meaning,
Always on toes, she’s restless soul,
So her life never turns a bore,
Chasing all dreams, from A to Zee
Be it poetry, painting and computing,
Trying her hands at everything she sees,
Today when asked her name
She said Nitsy.
I don’t know exactly
Where she wants to go,
As there’s always a new surprise,
Whenever I wanted to know,
When people tell about her,
I wonder who?
Cause they say responsible and mature too,
Helpful and cheerful with brains to match,
I get surprised, By their catch
I believe and trust every bit of you darling
But please don’t be so alarming,
Be always like the girl I always knew
Who likes ice-creams and picnics too,
Be sweet like you always do,
You are a BIG world to me …
My Little Girl.

A Fling

Preface
After reading my poems people get quite inquisitive about my love story, which in reality doesn’t exists. And this fact is pretty hard for them to believe as according to them, you can’t write about love and pain if you had not experienced it yourself. But my dear friends, I been in love so many times when u fall in love, and every time I feel ditched when you get a heartbreak. It’s not that I despise love or fear it, for me it is the most beautiful thing to happen to anyone, and so must cherish and respect it. Maybe someday I too fall in love…until then…

A Fling

I’ve fallen in love,
So many times,
With not just one,
But so many smiles.

Every time you smile in love,
I’ve smiled with you.
But when your heart breaks,
I wept with you too.

Ditched in love,
But still you’re lucky,
‘cause I go through this every time,
whenever anyone is sulky,

Chapter after Chapters,
A new story I wrote,
But none is mine,
I had always foretold.

Not that because,
I hate or fear love,
This wonder is so vast,
That cannot be clubbed.

Falling in love,
With so many things,
Just for one man is
Like clipping my wings.

Every relation is special,
Be it friends or siblings,
But still I am eagerly waiting,
For my one and only Fling.

Tumhare siva... Koi nahi

Dil mein mere hai tu-hi-tu
Tere siva bas koi bhi nahi
En nazron mein bhi tu-hi-tu
Nazaaron mein, koi bhi nahi
Na dard, na shikwa
Na doori, na vichora
deedar-e-yaar ke siva, Koi bhi nahi
Es dil main, En sasoon mein
Teri dharkan ke siva, koi bhi nahi
na bicharne ka darr
na judai ka ghamm,
ek Milan ke siva, koi bhi nahi
na koi shikwa, na koi shikayat
pyaari baton ke siva, koi bhi nahi
a ghar, na bahar
mere dil ke siva, tu kahin bhi nahin
vasta hai jo dil mein mere
us khuda ki siva, koi bhi nahi.

Mere Dil Mein Tu... Sirf Tu

Basta hoga mazi ke par koi,
door daraz badloon mein,
sun raha hai jo sabki s-da,
pyar se kabhi phus-phusa ke woh,
kanon mein kuch keh jata hai,
to kabhi tandi hawa ban ke woh,
dheere se choo jata hai,
barish ki boondoon ban-kar,
sheetal man kar jata hai,
to kabhi khushi ban kar,
aankhoon se beh jata hai,
kabhhi-kabhi sapnoon ki tarah,
palkoon mein bas jata hai,
to kabhi dharkan ban kar
dil-oon ko bhi dukhata hai
dua mein bhi, puja mein bhi
bas sab-mein bas jata hai
aye khuda kaise tu
hum-sab mein rach-bas jata hai...

Poetry In Emotion

Aahat kisi ki,
yaa toofan koi hai,
Yeh Zindgi ki raftaar hai
Chal rahi sansein meri.

Dekh ke lagta hai tumhe
Ki tham gaya hai samayt
Phir tez chal rahi ghari ki sui
Ya phir dharkta mera dil hai.

Na koi khawab,
Na ummeed,
En palkon mein hai aaj
Phir bhi enhe band kar ke
Dikhta koi hai.

Na mandir,
Na Mazjid,
Mein karte the dua hum,
Mannat mang rahe aaj
Kairiyat kisi ki hai.

Jis manzil par raahe khatam
Ho jati hai,
Un raahon ko chale karne
Muqammal aa,
Manzil koi hai.

Aaye khuda,
rehna saath mere hardum,
kyonki raah bhi tu,
aur manzil bhi,
tu hi hai.

CONDOLENCE

Preface
Sometimes there are crossroads that fills us with lots of joy, happiness and color of love; and then…. All of it is taken away by a cruel wind… and all these looks like a painful dream which leaves one empty and bleak taking away all the colors of life. The bygone time makes one wonder HOW and WHY it came in first place and then went by. This small peace is dedicated to all those individuals who are going through such a phase and I hope that it’ll soothe them… and they’ll have strength to bear the pain and come out of it sooner.

Condolence
I know that once he loved you
But not he sees I hate you
He promise which he made,
Seems to be untrue.
Its hard to believe he has neglected you.

You love him yet but now you say no
At least now stop knocking at his door
You are heartbroken and disappointed
But now his love had mounted
Even today you go
To the place he used to take you before.
You searched the faded memories
Just like bees find home and become honeybees
Yes, I understand my friend…
He has forgotten you
…because he had founded love that is new

What is over… is over I advice you
That shock bothers you all because
His love flew.
Or is she beautiful than you ?
If so don’t feel sad !
Because beauty perishes not virtue,
Sweet friend don’t feel bad,
Remember beauty does not bring,
The joy that character and virtue brings.

You are both virtues…
and have good character.
So don’t ruin it,
Don’t let your heart shatter.
This is my condolence…,
I convey you.
Remember my word…
And realize that…
If not,…
That boy…
But his girl loves you.

HEY MAULA !

preface
“God’s you always been with me, I Know it” said he “I always see two sets of steps while walking. But my lord, in my bad times... when I needed you the most; you left too me” he complained. “How can you say that” asked God. “In my bad times there’s was only one set of steps on the rough path that life offered me” God Said “My child…, while in trouble I lifted you in my arms, so its easier for you to go through the rough path”

HEY MAULA !

ek-baar to nazar-e-karam kar hum par bhi
rah takte hai barsoon se
is rah par karam kar ab bhi
diya tune sab-kuch sabko
de ek muthi bhar hume bhi

intezaar mein beet gaye kitne barsoon
ab na kar humse kal-parsoon
na keh abhi thoda aur tarasoo
sawan teri rehmat ka ab-toh baraso

jante hain saath ho har-dam humare
kehte hai yeh tere sab ishaare
saath hai toh ab daras dikha
na tu humko ab yuh tadpa

bas ek-nazar teri jo mil jaye
teri bahoon mein kho jaye
yeh safar-e-zindgi bismil ho jaye
maksad jine ka mukammal ho jaye

Woman Inside

Preface
Today on the International Women’s Day, when world recognizes womanhood; it becomes more important to recognize your own self. Not only does it constitute your potential, dreams, aspirations and the power to reach up the sky. Also it is equally important to confront the inner self and the small unspoken desires which all of us has whether it’s a man or woman. So let us stop for a while… and don’t ignore this lovely inside.

Woman Inside

Amidst the chaos of life
Just stopped to take a breather
Found someone very much nearer
Seems to be very familiar
do we know each other
this thought made me wander
I felt so incomplete feel inside,
Untouched..
Unloved…
Unmanned tide.
A desire long buried inside
Of nurturing a little life
Like someone’s very dear wife
a small thought that always strikes
A thirst that seems unending besides
Now that I know her quite
I am to renew my energy
So for all the dreams of mine
I am full of synergy.

So when the chaos subsides
Finally I’ve discovered a WOMAN INSIDE

RITEEN (Rituals)

Na bandhoo mujhe ritoon mein
..En wadoon , en geeton mein.
Nibha na pao jin rishton ko
..un rishtoon ke feroon mein
pakar na pao jise mazboote se
..nazuk si un gathoon mein
chal na paon char kadam bhi
..lambi si un rahoon mein

mere halaat nahi ke
chal pao door saath tumhare
itne khudgarz bhi nahi
beech rah kahe ab hum hare
adhura rasta, adhure hum
janoge to.., na sah paoge tum
rehne do hamare halaat par humko
kyonki baha le jayege yeh tumko

tah-e-dil rahoge hamesha tum
kya yeh ahsaas kam hai
tum hamare raho-na-raho
hardam rahenge tumhare hum
phir yeh riteen kya..
riwaaz kya..
rishte-nato ki bisaate kya.
