Self Thought-1

"You have no idea what i am going through.I made a big mistake Jean...... I am in deep shit.I need to be alone!!!...".Those were his last words as he shut the door on my face and left into the darkness.

But did he really want to be alone??...

I walked to the window . The darkness of the night had been made up for.The city had been  lit up with lights from street lamps to the lights from the overcrowded buildings.Like an adorned bride she captivated my senses.But Pete's words disturbed me.And my mind floated into the world of thoughts.

"Failures are the stepping stones to success.", some great man had once said.And so should "making mistakes" be.For isn't it from mistakes we all learn?

Is there a man who came out of his mother's womb and learnt to be on his own feet the next moment or say walk without falling?How many innumerable times must a toddler have fallen before he managed to take his first  footsteps?..How many innumerable times did a toddler need a hand to lead him?And didn't he one day succeed to walk??...

This is exactly what happens in life.

We all do make  mistakes.We fall.And we need that strong hand to guide us through and make us walk.And that is why we need to share our sorrows.Because like sharing reduces the size so does it help reduce the burden from our hearts. Being left alone and imposing solitude on self won't improve our fate.We need to move on and rise to the situation.

For every mistake there s always a penance.And penances are meant to purify our souls and make us more firmer and mature.But there are times when no penance can bring relief and at those times we ought to leave it upon the healer, called "time".

For as time passes, the memory fades and the pain somehow manages to subside.

RAIN

As every drop of rain brushes past me
A river of emotions pour out

It carries with it 
My sorrows and joys 
My highs and lows
And much more than,
What words could explain...

And with every pit pit patter
My soul hums a new song.

FOREVER YOURS

My life was barren and scorched

And yet you arrived,

Like the early showers

Before the monsoons.

I had lost my smile

Yet you brought back my smile,

I had lost my faith

But you gave me reasons to believe.

I stumbled along the path,

You held me steady

And walked me through.

Through my rantings

You sat with me

Patiently bearing me

Our relation was one

Without rules, demands

It flowed out passionately,

Seamlessly

So long as the air fills my lungs,

So long as my eyes can see,

And my ears can hear,

I wish you would be near

Forever and Ever.......

Peace Filled My Soul

My soul began to float

Away from my body

The throbbing in my heart

Seemed to be washed away,

The silence in the valley

Filled my soul,

Finally I am at peace.

Was it the wind blowing over?

Like a cool blanket holding me in a cuddle,

Or was it the greenery of the valley,

That was luring away my troubled soul?

I stood at the banks of the stream

Trying hard to smile,

As the Sun’s ray fell on the stream

Like a mirror’s reflection, there was my face.

I looked around me

Everywhere I could see life

The churning stream’s sound

Reminded me of girls laughter,

The swaying leafs of, children on a swing.

The squirrels running about,

The birds carrying twigs,

The ants making their nests,

The bee’s humming’s……..

Everything around me

Was, so full of life.

As though an aura of energy

Draped the valley.

I again looked at the stream

And there, was a smiling face.

Was it the aura of energy?

Draping the valley,

That lit through my face?

I stood there unsure, watching the smile

Like a river joining the sea,

The peace of the valley filled in my soul.

Scriblings from the heart [3]

"I knew i seemed a joker to the world,

I knew they laughed behind my back

Through my sorrows and smiles,

They passed by unmoved.

Yet why do i care about them?

Why do i wish they understand?

I have stood through their tears,

Holding their hands,Lending my shoulder,

Yet why is it that there is ,

Nobody near,through my fear?

I need them the most and....

They are nowhere around.....

Deep into a corner i shrink in

As the world around moves on...

The Excerpts from a Chat.....

The beginning of love is like movies. It’s the most amazing thing. But eventually the shine fades. That is when life starts.....

I think true love is a much different explanation....
Love is like a candle which imparts light and burns itself within till it’s over.... Not philosophy but the truth.
Love is something that evolves and not what we demand and get.
Look at it this way, love is there in every relation. Between u and me, mother and daughter, sun and earth....It fills the universe.

Sometimes we go seeking love, but it’s not something u get on asking. We have to be open to receive it.

Look at the most beautiful relation of mother and child.
A woman the moment she knows she has become a mother loves her child because she believes the child is hers alone. From the moment she is conceived, carrying and till when she sees the face of her newborn she develops so much affection, openness and longiness for the child that she believes her baby to be the most beautiful angel....
No matter the color, no matter if the baby is handicapped or retarded or anything.
Only what fills her eyes is love and only love is what flows out from her.
Even if tomorrow the child grows to be the cruelest human a mother's love for her child never ends. This is true love.
We love babies because we are open with them; we believe the innocence of their eyes. We trust them.
Love is something that happens. Don’t go seeking love.
Just be in love with everything about you and then definitely you’ll realize love....
Much better said, love is like a butterfly. Don’t chase it. It will come to you. Wait for the butterfly, but with faith that you'll receive it.
