What is Love ?

In the lord's home

While praying I ask

To the wise statue

Standing for a task

Explain me once

What is love ?

Is it escape

Or bending curve

Is it sacrifice

Or luxury to choose

Is it pain

Or illusion to loose

Is it bond

Or tempting distance

Is it feelings

Or mocking instance

Is it dream

Or just desire

Is it hope

Or killing fire

Is it ego

Or matter of pride

Is it journey

Or mere a ride

Is it truth

Or just a fight

Is it wait

Or just a sight

Is it trust

Or just passion

Is it will

Or just obsession

Is it test

Or just a comment

Is it patience

Or just a moment

The statue refuses to budge

And smiling it stands

When I expect it to judge

With my folded hands

In this court of faith

lives a divine power

Then why in matter of love

Nobody wants to answer ?

Thief of Mind

I am a thief , I steal the dreams

Written by mind and locked in reams

Once I entered the lovers mind

It was open, with nothing to bind

One thing was precious like a treasure

Closer I went to find one picture

That picture was beautiful though imaginary

This world of illusion was not so ordinary

I found more value than other stories

Not overshadowed by clouds of glories

Values, Ideas, emotions and notions

This mind was full with many options

Then why that picture was only secured

While others left stranded & ignored

The secret of picture was a question

Deeper I went to find the reason

Below the picture I found one note

My query was answered by this quote

"I am love, trapped here to wait,

But to release me , learn to hate"

On Top of the World

Staring from window & looking around

Bored with room where walls surround

Opening the door I peeped outside

Weather looked perfect for a scenic ride

With force of pedals that runs the wheels

A mountain of beauty was testing my skills

Curves and bends leaning from slope

Hard rocks challenged the use of rope

The road was tough but so was my will

Life was ready for one more thrill

Before light fades and invites dark night

The task was to reach the place of sight

On the top of mountain to touch the sky

And see the world like the birds that fly

Endeavor was true and vision was straight

Beating the height while pulling the weight

Wet with sweat without fear of fate

Sky was waiting to open the gate

As I took the last step to conquer with load

I was happy that day to make a new road

Watching sun set and waiting till last ray

I saw the world without boundaries that day

When Death Meets Pain

Near my bed between the night

Came a shadow to my right

His face was dark with axe in hands

Staring at me, tall he stands

Rising with fear, my pulse was fast

Slowly I stood, looking at last

Question I asked , what are you known ?

He laughed and replied, why was I born ?

I said to live, to laugh, to love

To talk, to pray, to care, to serve

He smiled and said that time you spend

In this world with this life will now end

I come for purpose to stop your breath

I take your life , I am your death

I said wait, I have no life of mine

What will you take , I have only time

With rage in eyes , he roared at me

Where is your life , here it should be

My life was stolen, by someone I loved

What left behind, is this body I owed

It has blood, but has lost its warmness

It breathes, but air is senseless

It eats, but has forgotten the taste

It sleeps without dreams, just to rest

Like a playing doll, which cannot express

A machine which runs, without any stress

Unknown to world, but still in motion

Learned to survive, without any emotion

If you think this body is still useful ?

Take my word, this end is peaceful.

When Nature Strikes

Nature is speechless but it cries

When humans endanger & tries

To exploit it for personal needs

Leaving it imbalanced with selfish deeds

And then one day it surprises

Unexpected & strong it rises

Beyond our imagination & thoughts

It destroys in a second & kill in lots

Till we realise our mistake

And repent on what we take

As these wounds are not so kind

Leaving a secret message behind

To open our eyes & think again

To stop cruelty for comfort & gain

Everything in this world is not for trial

Somethings are beautiful & natural

Moment it takes to use axe or knife

But pains it takes to bring new life

Give your desires some rest

Before you fail in nature's test

Quakes & shakes, typhoons & storms

Fire from core, are all it's forms

Better to act now, then later revoke

To save ourself from that dreadful stroke

Its time to repay & settle some dues

Before it strikes without any clues

Lets do everything that is possible

To keep our planet green & lovable

Friends Forever

Look at the mirror it never lies

Reflects the truth, which never dies

Look at the light which is divine

Glows in dark path, through its shine

Look at the shadow that never escapes

Follows everywhere, taking new shapes

Friends are like a mirror, a light and a shadow

In times of life, sharing happiness and sorrow

Like a hand of god that holds you in arms

Army of love with weapons of charms

Value of this relationship never ends

As world changes to take new trends

What counts in life is that voice, that sound

Which comes from world of friends around

A day of Freedom

Born in country of affection and emotion

Where countless people live for religion

Twisted and broken in name of kind

People are running with close mind

Rich in languages, traditions & culture

We pray to god & elements of nature

Free from rulers but slaves of fallacies

Surviving the traits of unsaid silences

Inspite of differences, we are together

Every child growing with spirit of fighter

Proving the mark in every field of talent

Leading in art, we are changing the present

Heading the future and reason for envy

As helpless neighbours tracking our way

The birth of our flag is a day of celebration

Here comes a reason for another rejuvenation

Its time to sing and rise to salute

Pledge that our heart will never dilute

To slay any terror challenging our freedom

And slam any error offending our anthem

And always stand to shout aloud

I love my India which makes me proud
