I witness.....
with my own naked eyes
the battle between life and death
like the fish along the shore
barely able to breathe
gasping for air
begging for life
struggling to live
please.....
leave the nature alone
let her free
let her live
for her beauty
needs to be preserved
wake up!!
show that you care
show that you love
ignorant is.....
not at all an excuse.

Who.......

YOU may not be
the pretty one
YOU may not be
the lovely one
and....
YOU may not be
a lucky star
YOU may not be
a precious diamond
but.....
YOU are there
a tiny speck in the universe
YOU are there
a being in the cosmic world
so.....
let YOU be what YOU are
Who are YOU?
....ME....

Life........

a piece of plain canvas
some colours needed
to colour the life
some touches needed
to give life to the lives.

Journey of life

More than forty decades ago
the mysterious adventure began
I rushed
I struggled
finally, I won the battle
a battle of life
I found a new world
the darkest warm world
could see nothing
could hear nothing
became dependent
in the cocoon safe and sound
was that a mistake?
I cried
no one heard
I waited impatiently
to see the light
finally.....
out from the darkest world
a new world again
a mistake?
a new hope?
brightness everywhere
lights everywhere
could see everything
could hear everything
independent I became
a mistake?
day by day
month by month
years gone by
I still explore the life
I experience the pain
I see pain everywhere
there is no promise
there is no hope
I prayed
I cried
for the peace of mind
that will lead to the peace of the world.

Dances and smiles of the clouds
form some patterns and designs
suddenly starts the fights and cries
living creations in pain and sorrows.
....................FLOOD......................

You.....the fresh blood
running through my veins
you.....the maple leaves in autumn
so beautiful and bright
you.....the passion and desire
keeps me going all the times
you.....attractive and charming
give me confidence in my life
you.....one of my favourite
you.....'RED' the colour I love.
(Posted elsewhere before)

FRIENDSHIP....is
but....
not at all being
SUSPICIOUS.

Witness

The dusk calls the night
in the oak the owl cries
witness comes the moonlight
carries tales of no price.

The other night.....
I witnessed the weeping and crying
sitting beside my loved ones
I tried to console and convince
but of no use
I am invisible to the naked eyes
only a soul am I
witnessing my own body
surrounded by loved ones
my Death in my dream.

Life is beautiful
life is a HOPE
keeps on living
do not quit.

Him.......The M......

Whenever I found myself alone at night
he kept coming into my mind
my thoughts always turned to HIM
not a single day passed
that I did not think about HIM
my mind began to spin
as I fought to forget HIM
my vision became blurred
as I rattled off my secret to the mirror
I closed my eyes
bursting with tears
I tried to erase the thoughts of HIM
but............in vain
HIM.........THE MONSTER

I was so scared
my feet were cold
my heart started to beat faster
I closed my eyes
as tightly as I could
I heard some laughter
a pair of green eyes
staring at me angrily
I mumbled a quick prayer
the eyes disappeared
the laughter no more
for a fleeting moment
I thought I was dead
I let out a deep sigh
I opened my eyes
It was 3.00 a.m.
I closed my eyes again
bursting with a flood of tears
It was just a nightmare.

Allow me II

It is your nature
you have said
somehow the message I get
you have said
all those you wanted to say
right now......
allow me to say a few words
deep from the bottom of my heart
it is only for you to know
lately.......
MISSED YOU MUCH MY FRIEND
I have to say.

As my heart started to drizzle
tears began to trickle from my eyes
suddenly......
a swirl of mist blurred my vision
coupled with the freezing rain made me shiver.
(Inspiration came while reading 'A Man Named Dave' written by Dave Pelzer)

Unexpected.....
the words came from you
words of yours
pricked my heart like a needle
unexpected...
they came from you
how could have you.....
abused me with your words
I know not the reason why
have you taken me for granted?

You are powerful
you speak volumes
you are sharp
sharper than a razor
once said...
you are not dead
you begin to live
you.....the....
WORDS

Light

May the light of God
enlighten your burden
gives you......
ETERNAL BLISS and PEACE

Petals of friendship

Like the petals of the flower
may the petals of friendship
grow closer and stronger
like the colour of the flower
may the colour of friendship
shines brighter and brighter
like the fragrance of the flower
may the aroma of friendship
sustains forever.

A letter to a friend

Sitting all alone in the staffroom
flipping through the guidebook
planning the lesson for tomorrow
as I started to pen a few lines
the thought of you my dear friend
came lingering into my mind
how are you my dear one?
how have you been?
just a few days gone by
the absence of you I felt much
I know.......
to reach you at this moment....
it's impossible my dear one
with grace of God and peace
surrounding you all the times
I believe you are doing just fine
hope to hear from you again
some good news real soon.

The Divine Art of Making Friends by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda I have read many articles on friendship and I personally experienced many ups and downs in friendship. Here I would like to publish something that really captured my heart while reading. Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda's writeup on 'The Divine Art of Making Friends' in his book- Man's Eternal Quest After reading his writeup I finally have to agree how true it is about 'Divine friendship' "Friendship is the noblest human expression of God's desire to show His love to man. God showers affection on the baby through the father and mother; their feeling for the infant is inborn, because our Creator has ordained that our parents can't help but love us. But friendship comes to us as a free, impartial expression of His love. Two strangers meet, and by an instantaneous choice of their hearts they wish to help each other. Have you ever analyzed how this happens? The spontaneous mutual desire to be friends comes directly from God's divine law of attraction; cumulative mutual acts of friendship between two souls in past lives gradually create a karmic bond that irresistibly attracts them to each other in this life. So long as it is uncontaminated by selfishness or attraction to the opposite sex, this impulse is pure. But often it is tainted. Friendship grows on the tree of our innermost feelings; it is desecrated by unwholesome desires and selfish actions. If you put the wrong kind of fertilizer on the roots of a tree, the fruit that develops will be poor; and when you feed the tree of human feeling with the emotion of selfishness, your unworthy motives will blemish the fruit of friendship. To feel interested in someone just because he is rich or influential and can do something for you is not friendship. And to be attracted to someone primarily because that person has a beautiful face is not friendship. When that face loses its youthful attractiveness, the 'friendship' will evaporate. It is true that you cannot find friendship everywhere. Some persons you see every day and never know, and others you feel you have known alwyas. You should learn to recognize that inner cue. Wherever you are, always keep your eyes open, and if you feel divinely attracted to someone, you should develop the friendship with that person because he has been your friend in some life before. There are many friends whom we have known in past lives, but those friendships have not yet been perfected. It is better to start building on a foundation on the sands of temporary acquaintances. It is easy for one to think he has many friends, until they do something hurtful to him, and then he feels deeply disillusioned. Many people make mistakes in choosing friends because they are deluded by outer appearances. The only way to recognize real friends is to meditate more. You should try to find friends the divine way, and that is to purge your consciousness' of all thought of facial or other appearances as factors in determining your feelings about others. If you do this, one day you will be able to discover true friends all around you. You will feel God's friendship through those humble human channels that do not resist Him. Through the pure of heart the divine light of friendship will flow to you." - Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda ( I posted this elsewhere in October 2007 )

Peace be with you
Every second,peace be with you
At present state of mind
Calm be calm my dear one
Everything happens for some reasons.

"PEACE BE WITH YOU"

My friend......
so much sorrows in you heart
so much pain in your words
I understand.....
it is not easy though
without her by your side
never the same anymore
without her in your life
the sweetness had gone
but......
believe me my friend
she is always there in you
in whatever you do
her presence you will always feel
beautiful memories of her
you will always cherish
please do not cry my friend
often you are in my thoughts

I believe she is happy and peaceful there
my prayers and love for her always
be strong my friend
nature has played her part
the one above knows the best
my love and prayers for you too my friend
take good care
love always.

In the journey of life....
full of injustice
i am lost
in the journey of life....
full of mysteries
i am confused
in the journey of life....
full of obstacles
i am dead
and......
please do not ask me 'WHY'.

It pricks like a thorn
where are you?
the continuous pain
one indulges in
do you see?
it pricks like a thorn
where are you?
do you exist?

The eyes meet.........
silent moments.......
my heart smiles......
i am in love.

My dear one, Many More Happy Returns of the day.

.............................

One fine day, dearest friend of mine visited me and family at my parents place. It was a pleasant visit. Everyone was very excited especially my kids. We spent hours chatting about many things. It was wonderful. We had a great lunch together. After lunch, he asked me for a cup of coffee. It was my pleasure to mix a cup of coffee for him. Then, he left to Malacca to meet a friend. Not a word who and where. He promised to be back by 6 p.m. It was already very late in the evening but there was still no any sign of him. No phone calls no news. His number could not be reached. We started to worry and did not know whom to contact.
It was already 4 a.m. but still no news. A few days past by but still no news. He just disappeared and never came back. I have never thought that would be the last meet. No body knew what had happened to him, where was he and how was he.
Suddenly, i woke up and was in tears. It was just a dream. Eventhough it was just a dream, i felt it real. I pray to you my Lord, hope it will not become true because i know i can never take it and I am not ready to lose a wonderful friend.

Crimes against humanity

The human of dignity
have lost their virginity
the human of credibility
have lost their capability
human.........
have lost their humanity

Newborn

Sparkling lights in your eyes
in my heart tears of joys
sweet smiles on your lips
smiles of love in my eyes
the touch of your softness
melts away my sorrows
fragrant smell of yours
keeps me awake all nights
you my sweetest happiness
my newborn most precious.
(Posted elsewhere before)

My dearest friend...
you are....
very unique in nature
very kind and loving
very thoughtful too
and this award is for you
for your amazing friendship.
(You deserve it, cyclop)

Terrorist

Human......
sometimes....
cold blooded beast can ever be
life is meaningless as can be
lost the dignity
hopeless as can be
lost the credibility
helpless as can be
life been tarnished
love been vanished
peace...??
still exist?

Abandon child

Child.....
may speak thousands of words
interpretations may differ
at times may deceives too
thousands of mysteries hidden behind
innocent child.....
glows brightness warmth without flame
sparkles excitement with flashes of light
utters thousands of words coated with love
innocent child.....
glooms in the darkness cold with flame
yearns the tender feelings of affection
longs for peace, love and unity
child.....
there is still a life
there is still a hope.
( Posted elsewhere before)

We are.......
just like the doves.......
the closer You move towards Me
the further I move away
the closer I move towards You
the further You move away
We are just like the doves
I just wonder...........
fear of attachment?

Like a fish........
we swim through
the ocean of life
but then........
only to realize
danger awaits us
from every corner
women.........
fight for your rights.

In this world......
we are never alone
there is always a crowd around us
in life.......
we are dependent
we need each other
but sometimes....
we just want to be lone.
mood swing.

There is still a 'HOPE'

My dearest friend......
my heart goes out to you
and your loved one
so much of sorrow in your eyes
so much of pain in your words
just could not bear
to see you this way
I wish ......
to help but I am helpless
I wish......
to change the present
but I am left without a choice
please be strong
please stand strong
do not give up
do not break down
I am always here
as a shoulder to cry on
together we pray
as one soul and one heart
for the very best.

Gift

A wonderful wood carving
hanging on the wall
capturing my eyes
jogging in my mind
reminding me of a friend
a wonderful friend
all the times
staying in my heart
and forever will
a pretty gift
from a dear one.

Old vs New

Old books.......
seldom jog in the mind
only in touch sometimes
the interesting ones
arranged in the shelves
the dull ones
invisible to the naked eyes
placed in a box tightly sealed
one day.......
when the thought comes
the shelves are touched
the box is unsealed
then comes......the
new books.......
visible to the naked eyes
always jog in the mind
in touch all the times
placed close to the heart.
old friends......
new friends......

Where?

In search of pure love
you sailed through the ocean
ocean of life full of mysteries
many a time you were drowned
as you danced to the rhythm of life
but again your desire for love
kept you going
until one day.......
you found the precious pearl
the pearl of love and beauty
your life was a complete love
but then........
the nature worked the opposite
again you were drowned
in the cruelty of the ocean
the precious pearl of love and beauty
slipped away from your tight embrace
once again you started your journey
sailing through the ocean of life
in search of love
is there an ending?

Possessive pronouns??

YOU are what YOU are
but.....
YOU are not YOURS
I am what I am
but.....
I am not MINE.
YOU and I belong to 'HIM'
so......please remember
WE are 'HIS'.
(This post is not only about grammatical item but it is more than that.)

What do you see? vs What do you think?

What do you see?
do the lines determine......

ones life and death?

do the lines determine......

ones past, present and future?

what do you think?

are fate and destiny.......

printed on the palm?

??

I just do not know why I came up with this piece of work.
Life is full of colours and shapes.
One has to choose them wisely to mould ones life.

Memorable gift

Last night, as I was going through all my old mails and greeting cards, I spotted this beautiful and memorable gift. It was sent to me by a very dear and special friend. It has been 5 years since I received this beautiful gift. I still preserve and treasure it very much. The messages on the gift:-

" THANKS FOR BEING A GOOD FRIEND
THANKS FOR THE CARDS
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORTS
THANKS FOR THE CALLS
THANKS FOR BEING NICE
HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS"
My dear friend, I wish to convey the same messages to you and they are deep from my heart. Last but not least, I just wish to respond to the last line "HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS"
My dear friend, the flowers maybe artificial but our friendship is "genuine".
Thank you for the beautiful friendship. God Bless.

My Birthday

Delicious chocolate fudge

My wonderful prince and princess

My charming son

Wonderful, loving and understanding hubby

Allow me

My dear one........
how I wished
I could read your mind
how I wished
I knew what was in your mind
my dear one........
please allow me
to swim through your mind
and merge with your thoughts
to enlighten you
to help clear your clouded mind
and make you feel a lot more better
my dear one........
if not today or tomorrow
maybe one fine day
do allow me
to merge with your thoughts.

Knowledge

As my eyes scan through
your inner body
from left to right
from top to bottom
you are pregnant with words
I could grasp the speciality in you
you give meaning to my life
without you.......
I am not what I am
you the book
the priceless gift.

Mind travels

In the dark
lying on the bed
with my arm on my forehead
staring at the ceiling
pampering my thoughts of you
you.........The Past.

In the dark

What is wrong with me, my friend?
sometimes..........
I feel very low
I feel so lonely
though I am not alone
I feel something is missing
though I feel I have everything
What is wrong with me, my friend?
sometimes..........
I could feel the distance
like you are moving away
though I know, you are there
I feel that you just do not care
though I know you care
What is wrong with me, my friend?
when the thought of you
come into my mind
I feel very heavy deep inside
my heart starts to drizzle
my eyes full of tears
it is so painful
What is wrong with me, my friend?

Thrilling tears

As my fingers touch your skin
I could feel the smoothness
you are safe and sound
with some layers surrounding you
I have no choice only to remove the layers
as i remove the layers one by one
I could see your shining texture glows
your inner smoothness and shines
obviously visible to my naked eyes
though heavy deep inside
I have to slice your body into pieces
as I slice your body
the strong aroma gets into my nose
my eyes too started to be in tears
tears keep rolling on my cheeks
how thrilling......
slicing an onion.
:))

Mystery

Roots held in the soil
trunk splitted into branches
leaves attached to the twigs
natural enigma
the.......UNIVERSE.

Tears of the nature

You.......
the priceless tears
full of joy
cooling and refreshing
gives a new hope to some
You.......
the painful tears
full of miseries
shattering and torturing
gives a dark hope to some
you.......THE RAIN

Misery

My friend.......
in your eyes so much sorrow
in your words so much pain
hidden within the sorrow
a smile without a glow
a life without a flow
i know friend......
it's not easy though.

More wisdom

An old owl am becoming
a wise old ones
sitting in an oak
in the silence of darkness
the more i hear the less i speak
the less i speak the more i hear
a wise decision i have taken.
( It is a repost )

May not know

My dear friend.....
you may not know
how glad I feel
each time you message me
you may not know
how wonderful I feel
each time you call me
you may not know
how special I feel
each time you ask me to call
you may not know
because.....
I have never told you my friend
thank you friend for being a friend.

Temporary.........:)

Sexy or........gorgeous
pretty or........beautiful
slim or.........slender
all those descriptions
are just physical beauty
man's first impression
man's first attraction
that.......
stays in the eyes
that......
stays in the mind
physical beauty is......
but....
temporary
fades away gradually
inner beauty is........
but.......
eternal
sustains forever
in the heart.

Guilty

Tragedy of the past.........
keeps haunting me to this very day
though I have tried for years
just to let it go
just to erase from my mind
it keeps coming more and more
only if.......
I was there a little early
I could have saved your life
only if.......
I was there a few minutes earlier
you would have listened to me
only if ......
I was there when you needed me the most
I could have helped to change your destiny
only if......
I knew what was in your mind
you wouldn't have ended your life
you.......
my so called brother....
left me forever
and here I am
feeling guilty for I had failed to be there
please forgive me my brother
but.....
why suicide??:(((((
(May your soul rest in peace)

Let it be

I have a friend.......
one moment very loving and caring
another moment very cold and mean
many times i wonder
finally I surrender
all those are human nature.

He........buzzes

He.........
buzzes around the beauty
of the sweet smelling roses
from one to the other
satisfies his burning desire of lust
quenches his dying thirst of love
relishes the sweet taste of roses
just to fulfil his emptiness
to survive his lonliness
he.......the 'Wild Bee'

Solved

For many months
I puzzled my brain
thinking.........
why?
why such a reaction
from the person that I know
only yesterday......
I understood the reason
everything became clear
the puzzle no more
so........
the truth is that TRUTH IS
it's time for us to part
it's time to say good bye
maybe just for a while.

In search

What is God?
or......
Who is God?
Does he really exist?
or......
Does she really exist?
If one feels his/her presence
If one sees his/her existence
then........
Why is the suffering on earth?
Why is there no peace?
Is it because of bad karma?
Even if it is bad karma
Is God not forgiving?
or......
Is he/she in deep slumber land?
(*These thoughts have been bugging me since Friday, 11th.July 2008. After a long telephone conversation with a friend.*)

Meant to be

Yesterday was the past
that kept you in the darkness
so my dear one
leave the past
today is the present
that garlands you with sweetness
so my dear one
live the present
tomorrow is the future
that keeps you going
so my dear one
welcome the future
though words and actions
are two different things
this is the truth
this is life
part and parcel of life.

Congratulations!

Hardwork and struggles........
the sleepless nights........
the restless moments.........
everything is gone for now
with a broad smile and a light heart
garland with lots of happiness and smiles
a wonderful day to be celebrated
a special day to be remembered
a day of victory and success
a day of achievement and fulfilment
and here comes the crown of success
HAPPY GRADUATION DAY my dear friend
My best wishes coated with love and care.

My internet friend cum my good friend

I have an internet friend whom I value so much. This friend, plays a very important part in my life. I first met my friend online in year 2001. For the first few years we used to chat online very often. Nowadays, we do not meet online at all. At present, we only keep in touch through sms and calls.

Sometimes, there would be a long gap or I would rather say a long pause. No any news at all and I would sit here wondering what went wrong. Many a time I was very hurt and annoyed but now I understand my friend better. As a friend I should be more understanding and accept my friend as how my friend is. I can understand that sometimes my friend would be busy and sometimes have mood swings. Maybe wants to be alone too. I would say that I am so used to the situation. :)) I just leave it as it is because I love my friend a lot. I really mean it.

We have met only twice. The first was when my friend came for a seminar in October 2002. It was a very brief meeting.:)) Then, again it was in December 2003. I went with my family to my friend's place. Met my friend's family members. It was a beautiful moments. When first I entered the house, I felt that I have been there before. Very familiar to me. It was very special. I always cherish those moments.

I always feel very comfortable talking to my friend. I have never felt so comfortable talking to any friends before or maybe I do not keep close friendship with anyone. We talk about a lot of things but we do not interfere in each others personal matters. My friend is a very private person, so I respect and appreciate that. I admire my friend until to this very moment. A very determine, understanding, loving, caring, patient and wonderful person. I have never met anyone like that before. This type of friend is very rare. Sometimes, I ask myself ' do I know this friend in my previous life'. This sounds weird, right? I could feel some kind of special bond and I do not know how to explain it. It is like a mystery. Unsolved mystery. Many a time we called or sms at the same time. I am not sure if telepathy works or just coincidence. :) I have a lot more to write about my good friend but not today.

To be continued.............( maybe one fine day)
(My dear friend, this is specially for you)

YOU and I are exceptional

These are called the rules of grammar.

It bleeds II

Why should I tell you?
Why are you bothered to know?
”What is your relationship with him?”
“HE” is nobody’s husband and “I”(SHE) is nobody’s wife”
” I feel you are trying to take away my freedom”
” I feel you are trying to control me”
The statements that came from someone that I consider as a friend
The statements that really broke my heart into pieces
An emotional fool I am
Do I deserve those statements?
Just because I asked her “ Why did you say “NO” to me when I asked earlier?
”My dear friend said…..it was my mistake
Maybe he was right
it was my fault
real blunder
Maybe I expected too much
Maybe I did not think of her situation
Or…….
Maybe I took her for granted.
Whatever it was……
I did apologise
But……….
The scars do bleed sometimes.
