Ocean Eyes.

OCEAN EYES

As a feeling of satisfaction

Placates the storm within.

Immediately another challenge is posed,

By the sea again.

Far ahead is the wave

Rising from the ocean floor in rage.

The deed is to rise above this wave,

All by my own.

I accept the challenge

And stand again.

My board’s weak

Beaten by sun and rain.

I hear an augury,

All effort will go in vain.

I stare at the rising wave,

It is huge and far away.

I hold the board in my hand

Plead my heart to in my body stay.

I am ready for the challenge

Yes. I am game.

Yet another time. Yet again.

I enter the water lying on my board

A cold current warns me, tries to scare me

I feel the pang

But it lasts not long

I rise and stand on the board.

I feel the force of pure air on my face,

As the infinite sky clears.

The swans flying above leave a shadow trail,

I follow the shadow and jump on the crest.

I come across the anger,

Now filled in the wave.

And rising with the crest,

I feel the pride inside.

Each wave takes me to new heights,

Heights from where I can measure the depth.

The depth of the ocean abyss to which I can fall,

As I try hard and manage to take control,

A strong face reveals and smiles at me.

I realize that the wave can not be conquered.

Could never have been controlled.

It just allows me to ride on…

It just allows me to ride on…

Krodh

Krodh

Krodh ghrana ki aur le jaa raha hai mujhko,

Ye krodh ek shatruta mein dhakel raha hai mujhko,

Ye krodh is bheed mein akela bana raha hai mujhko,

Kyun krodh itna khud mein duba raha hai mujhko..

Krodh se vashibhoot hoon ya ye katuta hai meri swayam se,

Aschaarya karun ya daya karun khud pe,

Koi sahara nahi, ek ananat andhkaar hai bas,

Manoshakti aahat hai kamjor ho raha hai vishwaas

Phir bhi uthtna hoga is badh rahe rosh ke khilaaf

Pal pal badalti duniya ki reet ko samajhna hoga

Sacchai ko doosron ki aatma mein dhoondne se pehle,

Swayam ke antarman ko jhinjhodnaa hoga.

Manoram yaadein aur khushiyon ke palon ko milaakar,

Ek upchaar khojnaa hoga

Haan ab is krodh ko maadhurya se todna hoga.

Pal

Pal…

Wahan  chaand  pinghal  raha  tha,

Aur  hum  chaandni  batorte  reh  gaye…

Shaam  andhere  mein  ghul  rahi  thi,

Lekin  hum  subah  ke  intezaar  mein  so  gaye…

Ugta  dinkar  nisha  ki  har  yaad  mita  raha  tha,

Lekin  hum  toote  sapno  ke  bare  mein  sochkar

Ek  baar  phir  se  ro  diye…

Bon Voyage

From Ron to VJ:->

Its life.

The greatest journey ever.

This very day sometime ago,

You embarked upon this journey.

Walking down the road,

Endlessly towards the horizon,

You’ve travelled miles and miles.

And yet, the path stretches on below your feet,

Winding and twisting,

Turning and twirling

Straightening now, swivelling again,

Broad now, narrow again.

Through grass, and sand

Through rocks and meadows,

As you travel along,

You look over your shoulder

A traveller has joined you,

And has brought joy and laughter.

Over the other shoulder,

Another was lost in the journey,

Bringing sorrow and heartbreak.

Lessons of life,

To make you worthy

Of the ultimate prize.

Yourself.

You’ve breathed in the air

Made fragrant by fresh roses,

And never failed to be thankful for them.

Every now and then,

(Too frequently perhaps?)

You stepped on a thorn,

And braved the pain with a smile.

The weathers beat down upon you,

Fierce storms, harsh winters,

Pleasant sunshine and merry spring.

Walking down the road,

You’ve come a long way.

Held up by grief more than once,

You have persevered.

I wish you a long, happy and safe journey ahead of you,

And all the strength you may ever require,

For you to reach the destination.

A very happy birthday to you.
