Stop Trying To Be Normal

DownUp +4

A person is striving to be average or normal
when they purposely minimize
themselves and their dreams
so that their associates,family and friends
don’t belittle them for dreaming big
it takes courage to break away from the normal and separate yourself
from the crowd
you risk not fitting in
and not being accepted by the people
you’ve been part of
you risk having feeling embarrassed
if you don’t achieve your goals
when you said you would
you risk being disappointed
and frustrated
but the really great
make you feel that you
too can become great
the decisions to realize one’s full potential and resolve to take
one’s responsibility for one’s future
it doesn’t matter from what others say
or do,or think
none of them have your dreams
sometimes it’s a lonely path
sometimes it’s hard
sometimes it’s frustrating
but one thing is true for sure
it’s always worthwhile
i know what’s like to try to fit in
i know what’s it like to try to be normal
i used to have an external reference
but i change
i stopped trying to fit in
i stopped trying to be average
and i started striving for excellence
i started to setting bigger dreams and goals
i started associating with successful people
i don’t fit in very well
with people who are normal
but i’ve come to realize
that i fit in with people who are extra ordinary so stop trying to be normal.

We Are Who We Are

DownUp +12

I often think that people
go through life too quickly
not slowing down to admire
or give thank’s to the people
in their lives
after all it is because of us
and our experiences
that we are who we are
i hope your love felt
words reach more people
and remind them to slow down enough
to enjoy,the enjoy you
who is always willing to share yourself
and they should enjoy your company
for they never knew how short life
can rully be.

Disc Cleaning

DownUp +8

De-fragmented mind rests.
A string of soul searching,
then regrouping files in order,
at last rhythmic synchronization.
Hard disc rolls clockwise, then,
anti clockwise revolutions stun.
Counter revolutions by stray groups.
Many viruses flushed into bins.

Peace settles in bulged eyes.
Nightmare resolves to fineness.
Veil of infection lifted up by antidotes,
attacks; infected cells by force.
Vision and images change.
Calm and serenity flutter its pinions.
Bad memories erased full,
as lively images reincarnate.

Doves settle down on ramp.
Day takes a dip in scarlet pool.
By Soft strokes life afloat,
stretching on back to tranquility.
Bikini clad women pop up.
Their smooth bodies shine.
as evening sun peeps in by poolside
My lap top rests after tiresome surfing.

Stars dim behind horizon.
Fully formatted mind chills,
By a cool shower of imagination
I reincarnate myself into new world.
Let me have that piece of Apple.
Give me a Blackberry to bite.
I love a tinge of spice under my blue-tooth.
Oh! My mouse is trapped in a web net

In The Flow of Time

DownUp +10

Day wears ashes covering body in grey.
Smear of gloom in spirits hangs a steep silence.

Flint flash of a metaphor struck my thoughts.
Futile images vanished, vanity tumbled down.

Moonlit glow on my closely shaved head,
days doom in despair waiting for some one.

Casting away shades; Sun wears ocher robs.
I sunk my self in bare; craving for freedom.

Stars shine in my eyes, as world shrinks into a spec.
I found myself in a dead star among mass of filths.

World melted down before me as I too disintegrate
I wept shameless searching for the one I seek.

Your fondle flared me, awakening from deep slumber.
I thank you retaining me in full awareness of my divinity.

In you my dreams retreat flashing entire cosmic entity.
Mystic world tweaks by a naughty smile in your eyes.

I fell silent in your muteness as you filled me with love
Slipping into depths of meditation I found my self dancing

A cool breeze encircle slowly as you breathe in.
Kindling a fire in hearth of my heart enlightening me

Raining purity a plenty you stream,
sprouting fresh hopes on earth.
Peace dawn on where ever you look
while lighting a smile on every face.
Deserts bloom by touch of your feet;
Tsunamis recede by your command.
Let me un-hold you so that you will hold me
tighter, closer to you like a baby.

Moving Forward With Joy And Hope

DownUp +16

Oh,how i’d love nothing more
to again see your eyes
and hear your voice
but if i never do
at least i was blessed
to see and hear them once
theres nothing in life
that makes it more beautiful
as you being in it
knowing tomorrow will have your smile
makes it more appealing
that it might have been
no,it doesn’t matter
how long and difficult
my day turned out
doesn’t matter if
you’re actually not here to say hello
just knowing you said it once
and you still have breath
gives hope to tomorrow
to be equally blessed
to once again see and hear
your eyes and voice
simple as it seems sometimes thats how life it is
that a simple look
a simple words spoke
can turn a day and life
completely around.

What Is Life?

DownUp +8

A little bit of today.
A lot of yesterday,
none of tomorrow.
Life is just a breathe in.
Who knows?
If at all any breathe out.
Yesterday was today.
Today was tomorrow.
We live in memories n’ hopes
One day arrives, a dooms day…
Where all merges in time

Streams of Ganges, Yamuna,
and under-grounded Saraswati,
are In a conference call in Thriveni,
moving as one to a big one..
________________

Ganges, Yamuna, Saraswathi (Now Under ground River)
All threes three rivers of India meets At Thriveni
And flows as one river.

Daffodils

DownUp +17

On the soaken sand they lay
admist the rain and besides
making way for the better things of life
with the sweet smell of honey
an aura of happiness and joy
a group of daffodils swaying by
these flash past my eyes as i dream
and it doth touches my heart
and wonder if i would get tears of blessings.
