Butterfly without wings...

Butterfly without wings, Clutched and entwined in twigs..
IT gave away its colors to make the rainbow smile,
And tore its dream of flight  to make the sun shine that extra mile...

Now that the fluttering has stopped and
now that the muttering is silent...
Does that colorless throb and that wingless dream matter to anyone??
Or does that closing wet eyelashes mean anything to you??

The more you knock, the doors are closing tighter..
hiding secrets in the lock..
Heart has given up pumping life and body is exhausting with every moment passing by..

All thats gonna remain is the trail in sand..
Telling a tale of butterfly who hung on to faith and fought till the end...

Love Me For the Sake of Love

Image
Love me for the sake of love, Not for the nomenclature I have... its given to me by someone else. Neither love me because of the smile I flash, when you come near... Nor due to the care I take of you my dear.. As Me thou is something different inside... It smiles at the first ray of light, It en-lights with the first rain drop.. "Me" is a cocoon shell thriving to turn a butterfly.. Your love will open my shell, Make me spread wings in the world..Be my sky Love me for what I am, for what I stand.. Love me not for reasons, love me all seasons... Love me for the sake of love...

Sparkle Sunshine All Along

"Already there is so much written and said already about life that makes everything you come across appear to be old and boring." Recently, I heard this line from somebody and it triggered strings of my inner conscience. Is it really true?? Can life or life talks be boring to anyone??.   For me its always been a precious gift that I have cherished always, let it be dark days or sunshine. Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or  dusk. - William Arthur Ward We all are here, in the same world where giving up is not at all an option.  So if you are gonna breath free till your last day, why not to inhale and exhale happiness, joy, innovation, smiles, care and love??. When you see your near and dear one giving up on life it pinches a lot and makes you feel helpless. I have felt that pang many a times.But that's how it is. I feel like shaking them and waking them up. Wish to say them "Don't fake love and life, becaus...

A Walk in Rain

Its all monsoonal outside my window and raining!!!!! I can hear the thunder and also the rain drops falling on the asphalt : ) I am myself drenched as I had a long walk in rain today and so refreshed that I am smiling to myself alone in the house. It was a really natural experience soothing the heart. When I started walking from my office it was just little drizzle n just after five minutes it started raining cats n dogs :p Though I had an Umbrella withing moments I was wet, saving my handbag from rain I got shelter below a huge tree. I had put on my earphones and was listening to music at the same time which was playing awesome songs like " tu hi mera from Jannat 2, Ghode jaise chaal hathi jaisi dum , Dhunki Dhunki lage , Bahoon ke darmiyaan etc. ..." to name a few which lit up my mood full on Yo Yo Yo .... I was not alone under the tree. 2 cows, one Dog, three human beings and two auto wallas were giving me a company. :P I was observing th...
