It's hard to move on

I can hear the waves splashing
As I stand now across the shoreCraving for some more
Days of ecstasy....I tell myself.....
'Sometimes you need to move on
And let go of things...
Things that were someday so priceless
But now it's all a mess....
A voice is all that u hear..
That speaks of untold sufferings...
A moment of joy, a moment of bliss,
A moment filled with peace
Is all that you crave for-
Peace and nothing more
Is what you desire
But that seems to be a mirage now
Lost in the illusions of life.....
The soul weeps ....it laments
The heart repents......
All u can do is but sit 
and watch a part of yourself detaching from you-
Fading away into the darkness.....
Things that were someday so priceless
Are no longer yours.....
You wish to stop and reminisceAbout those moments of bliss...
U wish to be in that state of euphoria again..
Memories are what that shall remain
You can't get those days back
Stability and vision are what you lack.'

As the waves retreat ,I see the horizon-A tint of red, a tint of saffron,
 The magic behind the clouds in action.
I feel the glory of nature,the hidden pain
In my heart,the visible disdain
On my face shows how rough times have been;
"I am done" -this is not what I mean.
I feel the warmth of the golden rays embracing my face;
They are fading....I tread across the shore with a slower pace
Leaving my footprints behind.
I look at the skyline-the setting sun makes me blind;
I stop and turn back..a deserted island with not a single soul
I feel the emptiness, I feel the silence
Despite the echo of the splashing waves..as if I am in a trance
The sun sets...I see only darkness...
 I need to let go of things that were someday so priceless
The moment is gone
I realise I have to look ahead and move on...
But.........
It's hard to move on......
It's hard to move on....

A reverie

I stood there

Wondering why things seem so unfair.

A momentary glance at the long desolate road

Reminds me of a cumbersome load.

I could hear a cacophony of voices

Within my mind- as if the world rejoices

At the defeat of the human soul-

A mortal being unaware of his goal

Who wandered aimlessly on paths unknown

Busy exploring himself- Endlessly moving on.

It was a hot afternoon;

The giant ball of fire made me almost swoon.

The bright glare almost blinded me as I stole a glance of the sky;

It was surprising that not a single soul stirred by.

There was a melancholic silence

Or perhaps I was unaware of anyone's existence.

The silence took hold of me

As I fell into another reverie-

A vast expanse of serenity;

Beneath the azure sky - stood a symbol of tranquility

A lonely sphere of caramel land;

A sight so simple yet so grand.

I could spot an ethereal glow on her face

As her gentle laughter echoed throughout the place.

There she was chasing the firefly,

Her spirits so high,

A carefree soul filled with vivacity,

I was taken aback at her audacity.

Fearless she seemed

As happiness gleamed

In her eyes, She ran merrily,

Her tiny little frock brushing through the lilies,

The soft curls falling over her face

As she ran with effortless grace.

Unburdened, unperturbed, she moved ahead

With an indomitable zeal and spirits so high;

The limit for her was not the sky,

For she was not afraid of falling down,

She had learnt to smile and never to frown,

She knew how to get up and walk again

Whether it was the summer or the rain.

I see her moving ahead...

I hear a fading voice and I open my eyes

I see a frail creature, his face shrunken, his body quivering as he tries

Lifting a heavy load and walks with it.

He staggers, he falls, he seems not so fit,

His face deprived of joy, speaking of untold miseries.

I remember the girl, unperturbed by any worries;

I realise my reverie has ended;

I feel perfect is the life she led.

She reminded me of someone I knew,

Someone with whom I grew,

Someone who is resting peacefully now,

Someone who needs to be woken up though I don't know how.

I am trying hard to find her

And as I do so I hear the old man whisper-

"If you want to discover her and your intentions are true

Then the most probable place to find her lies hidden within you" 

Reminiscence

As another year passes by
Here I stand amidst a sea of memories-Some sweet, some spicy remembrances
2012-a momentous year indeed
Moments of joy, moments of sorrow
Amidst moments of stress lay hidden a beautiful tomorrow
Success, failure, love, betrayal, reunion
Surprises...disappointments.....lessons to learn..
I fell down several times, I got up again
Experienced ecstasy as well as pain...

As I look back the past year
A lot seems to have changed-
Me, my destination, my goals, my acquaintances, my relationships
Still life has been an amazing trip
There were times when the path seemed so tiring and long
There were points where I went wrong.....
A sense of loneliness,,a feeling of despondency had swept over me..
A sense of guilt,, a feeling of hopelessness was killing me..
Still I felt so lucky to be blessed with some priceless gems
Who always stood beside me.....Am indeed thankful to them
For never leaving me alone, For boosting my spirits..
They are the ones in whom I can always confide
For they are the ones who made this year long trip a joyous ride....

Here I sit and look out at the azure sky as I reminisce
About the days of bliss...
The days of delight and fun...
Days pass by, Years roll on
Another year is about to end....
It's time to embark on another new journey
Time to cherish, time to celebrate,
Time to thank all those who made a difference in my Life..
New year ....new dreams....new resolutions....new promises to keep
Nevertheless I forget the old ones......for they are the closest to my heart
I promise we shall never fall apart............

I stand alone

The invigorating rays of the sun kissing my face,
A tranquil sea waiting ahead of me,
An azure sky extending all over me,
I am stupefied with its enormity.
The whisper of the wind echoes in my ears.
Away from the humdrum of a busy life
I stand here...alone
Looking back, I see a vast expanse of golden sand,,
An oasis rising out of a sandy wasteland
People walking beside me,,training and drilling
Gossiping and relaxing....
A vibrant aura surrounds me.
As i gaze at these mortal beings being so free
I am reminded of the transience of life
Time flies by..it spares none

But as I look back
All i witness is moments of nostalgia;
The wheels of time had stopped for me long back.
I stand at the same place today,
The tranquil sea replaced with a turbulent ocean,
The mighty dark clouds overpowering the bright yellow heat,
The summer morning displaced by a cold December evening,
Waves splashing across the shore
Bringing in musings from some unknown forgotten land,,,
The strong gusty wind slapping my face
Breaks my reverie..
I feel the chill in the weather...
It's time to return..
Another evening passes by,
Another year rolls on
Still I stand alone...
I stand alone....
