Shadows – Other You Or Not… #aros

Intensity Matters… #5Lines #aros

Water, it’s the same,

When thrown on to,

Erodes the Earth,

When Showered on to,

Soothes the Earth.

Satisfaction… #5Lines

A king gave food to the guest,

So did a poor family too, more happily,

The guest was satisfied more with the poor,

A king has surplus, so giving is no big deal,

But being poor and still sharing, remarkable

Live Like Water Flow…

Don’t be befuddled by obstacles,

For they befriend your enemies,

Live like water flow, finding way,

Through the rocks and crevices

 ***

Don’t keep the grudges for long,

For they contaminate your soul,

Live like water flow, moving ahead,

While leaving behind the foul

 ***

Don’t refrain yourself from committing,

For it requires forgetting, falling free,

Live like a water flow, forgetting self,

Or you will end up being a dead sea.

Learn From Mistakes…

Nature forbade human to go against it,

But human didn’t pay any heed,

Nature brandished with calamities like Tsunami,

Human still somehow manage to make same mistakes.

Discover… #5Lines #Gogyohka

Today’s Theme: Discovery

——————————————–

Love at first sight,

Is highly over rated,

It may or may not last long,

Love can be built over the period,

Rather than simply be discovered.

Things Remain Unsaid… #5Lines #Gogyohka

She wants to say something,

I too want to say something,

She waits for me to start,

And I say “Ladies First”,

Nothing really is said in the end.

* * * * *

Don’t keep the things unsaid, for they may mean something to someone. The initial dilemma to say those things may be a barrier but don’t let that thing to be a show stopper.

You and Me… #5Lines #Tanka

Today’s Prompt: “Never Ending Space”

——————————————————

You are an angel,

I am a mere mortal,

Distance between us,

Is like between Earth and Sun,

Attracting, but can’t come close.

Be Like Sugar… #5Line #Gogyohka

—————————————-

Sugar, crystal or amorphous,

Has the same inherent sweetness,

Same should be with you,

You, in someone’s life or not,

Should bring happiness to them.

माँ तू होती तो… Mother, Had you been here…

नींद बहोत आती है पढते पढते, माँ तू होती तो कह देते, एक कप चाय बना दे, थक गया हू मेस की रोटी खा खा के, माँ तू होती तो कह देते, पराठे बना दे, वही कोशीश खुश रहने की, माँ तू पास होती तो मुस्कुरा लेते, बहोत दूर निकल आए हम घर से, माँ तेरे सपनोंकी परवाह ना होती, तो कब का घर चले आते, तरसते है तेरे प्यार के सागर को, ममता के आँचल को पाने के लिए, यहा कोई दया की भीख भी नही मिलती, जी रहे है तन से हार कर, मन को मार कर, घर से दूर, अपनोंसे अलग, इस मतलबी संसार में, फिर भी कर रहे है अपने आप से लड़ाई, अकेले अकेले, सिर्फ़ तेरे लिए माँ.

I received this poem from a friend of mine via SMS, it’s so touching that I couldn’t stop posting it here 🙂
