Inspiration

You inspire me to live life to its fullest
You fill me with hope and feel good emotion
I who have been denied happiness and fulfilment in life
See it in your eyes, open arms and warm kisses
Fill me with energy and happiness
Which only someone like you can bestow
You have the wherewithal to inspire
Me to rise to great heights
You have it in you to drive people with your lovely smile
Do you realize the potential of your smile?
It can make people do unthought of deeds
It inspires to rise and perspire so that your goal is met.
Oh! Dear realize your potential and use it suitably
So that you can make the Phoenix in me rise from ashes
And fulfil my purpose in life.

I am not beaten

I struggle and struggle
Yet no results,
Still, I am not beaten
My endurance can be summarized thus
I am moving clouds today
Tomorrow I will try the mountains.
This struggle wears me out
But I am not beaten
I firmly believe that though you know you can lose
But still trying
This struggle will bring out the shine in me and I will glow like a diamond
I believe in the old Hindi adage
 That as the rope when it continuously moves over the stone leaves a mark even on stone
My efforts too shall bear fruit.
With this struggle, I often feel disheartened
But I do not give up
There are so many examples in front of me
Of people who turned the tide in their favour
Just as they were about to give up
I come across obstacles, hindrances
Yet I am not beaten
My back is sore with the lashes that life's struggle has hit me with
But I am not beaten.
I know I shall rise from the ashes like the Phoenix
and shine again
Nothing beats me

Goal of life

Life is an elimination process
It is a selection of the most suitable for the individual.
You have to remove the unnecessary from the grain
To get the crux of anything.
You might ask me is it a selection or elimination?
Both I would say
Eliminate the unnecessary and select the best.
This way you will achieve your objectives
Achieving your objectives is important
If you want to attain your goal.
Now the dilemma is what is the goal of life?
I would say a life lived well
For each individual, this could hold a different meaning,
For some, it would mean being successful in life
Fulfilling your aspirations
For others, it could be devoting yourself to the cause of humanity.
For still others, it could mean immersing yourself in your family.
Whatever your goals are
Do the elimination carefully
And select the best for yourself.

At the threshold of a new life

I am at the threshold of new experiences,
A new life,
Maybe it will be beautiful and fulfilling.
Maybe it will take me to new heights of gratification
A new muse to ponder on
New thoughts, new meanings
The thoughts of a bright future enthralls me
I feel a new high in life
But, hold on
Is so much excitement warranted?
Maybe the new experience will give me mixed feelings.
Like most things in life
I have to take the new moments with a pinch of salt
Be prepared for a mix of positives and negatives.
Life is a mix of beautiful and not so beautiful
They peacefully co-exist.
Within me, if I look inside
The good and bad lie side by side
Does this mean I can't be happy, excited?
 Surely not, I can be happy, exhilarated
Excited and dance with joy.
Not allow any foreboding thoughts to spoil my happiness
I also can walk hand-in-hand with happiness.
It is also something I can partake in my life
Yes, indeed I too deserve happiness.

Revelation of the inner self

I lean against the pole to find a support
Is it my weaker self?
looking for something to depend on
Or my body demanding a respite from long hours of standing
Why is my body looking for support
Do I want to merge into another?
Is the merging a completion in itself?
Or it leads to several other desires?
Is the merging an outcome of the inner longing to find support
Or is it just a short resting point?
Where from we move on the weary journey of life?
Did I say weary, but life isn't weary in itself,
The act of living may sometimes wear us out.
I wonder as these thoughts crowd my mind
Do I need support or do I seek completion?
Do I seek respite or want to indulge in a dream?
Let me not worry at the thoughts crowding my mind
One day there will definitely be a revelation.
I am sure my seeking heart shall find its answers.

Beautiful smile

Your mesmerizing smile
warms me from within
It is soft as it spreads all across your face
And makes your face glow with warmth
It has far-reaching effects
It directly reaches my heart
My heart that is so palpable
It thuds from the glow of your smile
I dream about you with open eyes
And shiver with anticipation as your lips touch mine
The warm glow across your lips and face is transferred on to mine
as you touch my lips with your lips.
I feel a warmth spread all over my body
Your mesmerizing smile has become mine.
