Myth


In love life after life
Myth to others
Story of past life
Fact seen in sky
As a bright twin star
Called Arundhati & Vasistha
In love life after life






Myth it may be
Arise feeling real
Testimonial precious 





--
In certain Hindu tradition a couple after wedding is shown a twin star in sky by the priest. Couple is asked to see it once daily. The star is called Arundhati & Vasistha.
It is actually two stars revolving around each other, seen from earth as one.

Husband and wife should be like Vasishta and Arundhati – an ideal couple in Hindu mythology. No one is supposed to go around the other. Both go around each other and move together.

Weak?



Driven to edge
By her hope
To be held in love

No complaint against those who pushed
Just sad, they are the ones
She yearned to be held by

Who else could?
With others she is careful
Not candid

Rekindle



A song in car stereo
Lighted my mind and heart
Wanting to share with her, I park

I know she will understand
And we will be together
In that love for few moments

Before I reach for my mobile
It rings, she is on other side and
I hear same song in background!

Meaning of Life


Meaning of life

It is a blank canvas gifted to you
Fill it with colors you want, colors you like,
It is an open sky
Create your own rainbows,
It is a fertile land
Grow garden of your choice,
An album of pictures you choose to take,
It is a poetry you compose,
Story you write
And song you sing

Meaning of life is created by you, for you.
By design or by default!

Void

She is known for her managing skills

Things are well under her control
Be it at work, at home, in party, in picnic
All well managed
Yet she often feels sad
Especially at the end
Be it end of a working day or
When party is over

There is a void at every end
And
She is yet to master art of managing void

Liquid




All she wants is to be treated as
One of them, part of them,
Adjusting with
Husband and in-laws,
Their ways, tastes, values,
Like liquid taking shape of the vessel

Alas she lost her own identity

Often she is made to wonder
If she is a part of them
Or like liquid that can be emptied
.....And replaced?

Twilight














It is felt

Fading lights
Fading form
Dissolving slowly
Into nothing, nowhere
Yet 
it is awesomely beautiful
Like a newborn baby!





Soon day will end
To begin again with
Awesome beauty of twilight!

God- sent



In gleam of Broadways
All faces bright and smiling
Difficult to say a friend from a foe
Many want to walk along
Share success and
Say what please ears

It takes times in shady back streets
To bring in light
Ones who really care
Shall we say times God sent?
