Tough, so tough

So much brimming

in the cup of life

No, not in

but from outside

Holding it at bay

holding it all out

Its tough, so tough

Well, let it in u say

but what if its not enough?

The dam is full

about to burst

you say are you a fool

let it out first

Holding it at bay

holding it all in

Its tough, so tough

Well, let it out you say

but what if its not enough?

Water drops fall down

the fire still struggles

It wants to cool down

but still it wrestles

Holding it at bay

holding it all out

Its tough, so tough

Well, let it in you say

but what if its not enough?

Days and nights

smiles and pouts

warmth and bitterness

love and heartbreak

Holding it within

holding it all in

Its tough, so tough

Well, let it go you say

but what if its all that's left?

Why don't they stay that way

Leaves, so green and young
why don't they stay that way
why do they turn brown
why do they wilt or fall away..

Pictures, so fresh n rosy
why don't they stay that way
why do they fade with time
why all the dust and grime

Streams, so cool and clear
why don't they stay that way
why do they get dirty
why do they have to go dry

Days that start happy
why don't they stay that way
why the arguments..the face-offs
why not more laughs...

Memories that curve up a smile
why don't they stay that way
make them be the same, all the while
do they have to go away...

Destiny –A Sounnet

“God doesn’t play dice with the world” really??Don't u believe in destiny??May be everything is planned…may be we r a part of a big plan…Sound says abt this using sounnet rhyming pattern.

It isn't over
until it's done
It's not an offer
It's for the chosen one

You had to pick the paper
You had to break the glass
You had to lose the wager
You had to top the class

They had to love your work
They had to hate your tie
They had to titter and smirk
and you had to wonder why

Not someone, you and they
There is just no other way

Love -> Achilles

The Archers' barrage
did not mar his courage
but....
A single arrow killed Achilles
Paris wounded him in his heel
He fell and watched his lady love
Leaving...going into another world-
He would perhaps be just above
but there was still so much untold

What made Achilles fall?
Paris' arrow?
Briseis' love?
or his own vanity
to be known for eternity

He chose fame
He loved his name
Peace meant nothing
love was not even intriguing
Love did stop his fight
and love triggered his greatest
It killed Hector
It ended Troy
It ended itself
and it ended Achilles

Endless staircase

I'm moving in an endless staircase
faces nd memories will efface
do I know u Before?
were u a friend or a foe?

I don't know when it began
not sure how will be the end
thousands of steps passed
and millions more to come

Nothing really matters
this too shall pass
sometyms u shd let things go
lose ur plans and watch

I hold on somethn to climb
and go on to leave things behind
I dont have a goal to reach
I'm just moving in an endless staircase
faces and memories will efface

Bala

My dear calendar....

They reflect the passage of the ages

my triumphs, victories and slippages

but don fret,

I won't tear ur pages

I won't doodle

I won't scribble notes

I won't circle dates

I won't throw you away

I won't waste a day

If you promise me

u'll be as long as can be

without me growing older.

....maybe younger..

The "One" Way

This poem is just a reflection of the struggle that usually goes on in my mind(It keeps giving me diametrically opposite cues on what to do)...and what I did one fine day :)

Switch it on
Switch it off

Do it now
Put it off

Make the call
Oh not now

Do the shopping
Maybe...tomorrow

Send the mail
What if I don't?

Do something
Just lie down

Go meet people
Just gather wool

I am not a fool
I am not clever

I can do this...
Was I dreaming?

Aww...Shut up!
Yep..that's the word.

One thought, am sticking to it
One plan, no more changes

No more fight
Even if I am not right!

How was ur day??

if u ask
hw was ur day?
well wat can i say
there was lots of sunshine
so din worry abt making hay

I Woke up with a smille
at the break of the dawn
Some distant birds
were chirpin my fav song
i felt like i was newly born

it was so much fun in tat luvly road
where i tried to bring a princess
by kissing a toad
with loads of joy
the day grew old

i saw a golden ship
raising from the horizon
as the moon touched me
by stretching its silver arms
wish i culd take this ecstasy all along

Every day may not be the same
there are few things tat i can really change
better not to waste tym findin reasons to blame
so if u ask,hw was ur day?
with a smile i will say
the tale of my life gettin better day by day
