Tiny, ephemeral, inconsequential it seems yet, in its bosom lies, all that will be conquests, battles, loss and love gateway of all, is, the moment “to be” what I do, think, where intention lies in this tiny speck of time sets in motion, the events flywheel that crowns me king or undoes me fountainhead of future paths lie hidden in its mysterious heart what comes to pass, what will be is predicated on it, entirely love or hate, laze or toil are the seeds I plant in its garden soil crops abound, in due time exactly, but of their own kind its the Razor’s edge that sets apart the bold and brave, from faint of heart in beads of sweat that adorn its lap curled up lies our destiny with grateful heart i receive this gift sacred, magical, powerful it is chisel thats given to all alike to shape the contours of our life in course of time not far away this gift will exhaust one day reflecting on how I treated it will my heart be full or will it bleed?

 No fetters no chains no bonds no reins, mocking the creation like a lunatic’s laughter; I float listlessly above the mundane, unmatched in beauty, in spirit untamed. They call me god and no wonder why, coz I romp in heavens and rule the skies; I can bid the Sun to scorch the plains Or bless the earth with pleasant rains. The million shades and myriad hues, Give away my shifting moods, I can cast the sky in grey and black Or with artists flair can paint it red With thunder, lightening and elements raw, I play my games and inspire awe; Now throwing the veil over shimmering stars Or dressing the moon in wondrous attires But behind the scene and inspiring façade, Lies a desolate and weary heart; That is trying to douse in the froth of fun, The flames of lonliness that burn within. A heart that seeks a friend above all  to frolic in rain and enjoy a stroll;  To share the heat and dust, the pleasure and pain,  the experience of life in its various frames.

Our paths crossed for a little bit Then we went our own merry ways You, like a charm bracelet - lost But the charm that forever stayed A sea shell that I put to my ear and heard the ocean breathe the waters carried away the shell the whispers of the sea, remained we sat down, trying to weave  a thread through the flowers, scattered in our laps,  the thread broke, the flowers - swept away by the wind yet the scent of those flowers, remained.  In the deepest recesses of our hearts Lies a mystery - unresolved What we let go from our past And what shall, forever remain

You won’t stay, you will go away the inevitable is not lost on me but hang around, stick around,  be in my drink, a little longer please! I waited long for your presence through my childhood, adoloscence now you are here, just stay near stay in my drink a little longer please your touch is supple, your vigor strong you have a ring in your radiant voice flow in my blood, shine in my eyes stay in my drink a little longer please in my reckless moves, in my carefree gait in my dreamy eyes and the fearless gaze in my laughter mad, in my spirited ways stay in my drink a little longer please you are proud I know, have places to go you make the world go round on fingertips but listen to my prayer, just one last time stay in my drink little longer please oh I won’t be done, I will survive, even though some day you won’t be with me i will keep on driving, I will keep on striving,  albeit a little less, if you please So stick around, be around stay in my drink a little longer please
