We are to be free...

I had no clue,
Of what I would see,
The numbness in my mind,
Getting the better of me,

With each passing day,
It was getting worse,
When every moment,
Seemed like a curse,

And with the end,
Nowhere in sight,
Every thought in my mind,
Was putting up a fight,

Should I stop?
Or should I go on?
Were the choices,
That I was pondering on,

I couldn’t decide,
Which side to take,
For if I choose wrong,
My future would be at stake,

Just when I thought,
All the hopes had gone,
Fortune smiled on me,
Like a beautiful dawn,


And all of a sudden,
It became very clear,
Confidence risen in me,
Overrode my timid fear,

I couldn’t believe,
How easy it was,
What I had been dreading,
Turned so easy to pass,

Now it’s all clear,
Of what I want to do,
I’ve decided on this,
After thinking it all through,

Let us be free birds,
For sky is where we belong to,
Let’s not get tied down,
For we both don’t want to,

Let us fly high,
For this is not our tree,
We have dreams to chase,
We are to be free,
We are to be free…

For the beautiful eyes...

Bolke nayan he tujhe
dakhvi kaik bhaav
bedhund karun sarvanna
karati hrudayavar ghaav

ek nazar hi tujhi
sange tujha swabhaav
kashi avraychi mag
tula punha pahnyachi haav?

nazuk papnyaan sange
kheli he lapandaav
banavle pahuni janu tula
mrignaini he naav

For a friend who was leaving Mumbai for a job...

Fly away my friend, where your dreams call by,
To distant lands, where ambitions fly high,
Keep up your spirits, but never sulk and sigh,

Start afresh, bidding the past goodbye,
Build a new nest, where all the warmth will lie,
Bond it with love, with every twig you tie,

Times will be tough, but never should you cry,
Be it pouring rains, or be it summer dry,
Keep your mind open, and give a new try,

Look at the Sun, with a sparkle in the eye,
Flap your wings, and reach the endless sky,
With zest incredible, and never-say-die...

Self-portrait

A pencil in my hand, with the canvas on the stand,
started the lines to flow..
so happy I was, that I didn’t take a pause,
my face kept showing its glow..

as the painting got over, and my beats got slower,
I looked at what I could see..
it wasn’t just a face, it was pure beauty with grace,
as I saw a smiling me!

Love is a feeling...

Love is a feeling purely divine,
from a moment together,
till the end of time,
however be the beginning,
it matures like wine,
so much of you,
but only a little of mine,
you know there is a sureshot sign,
when every word of yours starts to rhyme,
I’ll go to any lengths,
to make you smile,
‘coz its you and only you,
who makes my living worthwhile..

A friend you are...

A friend you are,
so helping indeed,
you always stand by me,
whenever i'm in need..

A friend you are,
so truly sweet,
you make any chocolate,
look just incomplete..

A friend you are,
so pretty i say,
like a blossoming flower,
on a bright sunny day..

A friend you are,
so very kind,
people like you,
are very rare to find..

A friend you are,
so full of fun,
just like a line,
with an intended pun..

A friend you are,
so very dear,
you bring in my life,
a whole lot of cheer!
