I AM

I am not a healer
But I can erase pain
I am not a builder
But I can create a home
I am not a tailor
But I can mend a broken heart
I am not a judge
But I can evaluate the right from the wrong
I am not a magician
But I can enchant tears with smiles
I am not Cupid
But I can make two hearts meet
I am not God
But I can promise trust and fulfill.
But then, I am, yes I am,
Certainly Human

HAVE TO GO...

A speedy track, a dusty road
Soon I shall be ripped off
From my walled abode.

Amidst this tension,
Amongst the noise
I can feel your wet cheeks,
Your silent cry.

No complaints I have from you
I know you tried so hard
You were my perfect knight
My carriage, my warrior.

But the army you fought
Wasn’t just of human might
They had their allies
You struggled alone, with few arms called rights.

But the rights were weak
And the enemy was strong
They aimed at your heart
Those wordly arrows made your soul go numb.

You gave up, yes you did
And now I have to go
Its will be a painful journey
Scorching heat and biting snow.

The blades will cut through
I know there will be pain
The springs of my coming have faded.
Oh I shall miss the promised rain.

I heard your heart break someday
When he left you alone to sob
A love died its death that day
And today its child dies, amidst the medical mob.

REFLECTIONS

In the river I see

An image very like me.

She stares at me

And tries to keep calms

As the stubborn waves

Try flouting her stance.

Unburdened by the world

Undeterred by her past

She smiles at me silently

As the waves give up now and just pass.

Is she my reflection?

Or am I hers?

A question worth a million doubts

A silent moment worth a thousand words.

There can’t be an end to this

There will never be

Till I meet the moment that answers my simple question of

What makes us so like… so parallel?

While she still stands so unparallel… so unlike me.
