Poem One
Ashes Of Love Left Behind

It was a cold winter night
Miles and miles of snow and ice
Eerie silence like a deafening noise
Not a single soul in sight
I could feel the chill in my bones
Everything lost and long away from home
What used to be a castle of my relationships of love
All turned out to be lies and this cold dense fog
And just ashes now left behind
Of what used to be my life
And full of hurt and pain inside
And what I no longer can call mine
Like hell hath no fury
On this cold lonely wintery night

Far away I could see a glimmer of light
Coming from a bonfire burning far away in sight
As I got closer I could see
Another lonely soul just like me
His soul hurting just like mine
Reminding me of a familiar face from some other time
Like he had also lost everything in this world
I wondered to myself
What brought him here
To this God forsaken place tonight
Not meant for a soul to wander
On this cold winter night
Was it something like my story
Of life just happening
Where every person of your life
Turned out to be the same old story
All it took was one single spark to ignite
And your world came crumbling apart
And all your meaningful relationship’s
And all your hard work gone in one single night
And one strong breeze is all it took
To break these bonds which I mistook
For love and strong that I had always treasured
As rarest treasures of my life
Turned out to be nothing but weak bonds
Held together by weak threads
And the havocing storm of my life
And you realize that in this life
Love is a two way street
It is not always about your religion
But also the religion on the other side
And then you wonder once again what is it about love and life
Something that felt so right
Why was it not meant to last
Is it previous karma or distant past
Why is it that he sends them your way
As sadness that I feel in my heart
That refuses to go away
And even the tears had run dry and few hurt
That never should have happened
And no more words left to say

As I got closer it looked like a familiar face
From distant past a stranger I used to know
Long ago
And could not completely get out of my mind
And let go
No matter how hard I tried
This nagging feeling like I had known him for a long time
From some other place some other time
This familiar face
That I just could not place

As I moved closer to him I wondered
What was this pull that I had towards this stranger
Like I have known him for a long time this lone ranger
All alone just like me on this lonely night
With silent tears rolling down my eyes
Desperately wanting to hold on to something tight
What was it that drew me to him
Like two strangers
Who have known each other
For a very long time
And all of their lives
Or maybe it was just two lost souls
Lost in this lonely crowd
Who had lost everything in this world
And not even a shoulder to lean on or cry
Trying to make sense of this cruel world
Where even the love of your life
Turned out to be your bankruptcies

As he looked up at me and smiled
I was lost forever in his eyes
I realized he was a familiar face from my past
Long time ago of love lost
We had once known each other
And had gone our separate ways
Here we were once again
After all these years
It’s like life telling you it had come to a full circle again
And once again life had thrown us together
Into each other’s arms is it forever
Like two strangers
Who had got lost in this bustling world
In this confusing journey called life as it unfolds
Some where along the way who had lost their way
About two people who always belonged together
About two people who were always meant for each other
Meant to kiss each other’s pain away

Poem Two
This Life Is A Journey

You don’t get to go back and correct your mistakes
In this life somethings you just cannot change
Don’t keep looking back
What’s done is done
Don’t look back
Because past cannot be undone
Life stops for nobody
Whether we are somebody or nobody
Moving on is another name of life
In this life that’s to stay
Moving on is the game of life
We all have to play
No matter how hard we try to run away
We are all out here in this journey called life
Arms wide open head held high
The world ahead of us
An endless field and open skies
Future unknown and nothing we can take for granted
Not even our closest ties
Our destinations in life are numerous
With many crossroads in between
Only God knows where this journey is going to take us
Oblivious as we are of our destiny

Life stops for nobody
It is like a river that runs deep
And keeps moving forward
Likewise we have to keep moving forward
In this journey of life it stops for nobody
If you sit on the sidelines too long
For someone to come along
Waiting for the tide to subside
Instead of taking life by the horns
Life will pass you by
Without love by your side
You will never be able to reach your destination
You have only one life
Why live life with resignation
Always moving forward is the sign of life
Always moving forward
Is another game of life
And stagnation is the sign of death

Poem Three
When I Am Feeling The Blues

When life feels meaningless
And another day gone by
And I feel like I am losing my religion
And no shoulder to lean on or cry
Just another person
That’s lost in the crowd
As life passes me by
It’s then I pick up the pieces
And take on something new
With a new paintbrush
To paint the canvas
Which until yesterday was a little too blue
With new shades and hues
Making sure I always keep my faith
And stay close to my roots
(I know it has been long time due
Time to move on my heart says and knew)
To give my life new meaning
And a meaningful view

When I am feeling lonely
And all lost and sad
Then I look at the deep blue sea
In front of me
And where it meets the deep blue skies
And the lines blur
And my eyes well up with tears
Is it all my imagination
That life sometimes feels so hopeless
That I just want to cry
It’s then I go to my favorite spot
That I always go to
When I am feeling sad
Once again I look at the deep blue sea
In front of me
And then I don’t feel so bad

When I am feeling the blues
And everything around me
Feels unglued
And I am all lost and confused
And I have no idea what to do
Everything feels like a mess
And I do not have a clue
It’s then
I curl up on my couch in front of my TV
In my favorite pajamas
With my favorite brew
And my favorite coffee mug on cue
And hot chocolate to comfort me
And to my rescue
To heal my soul
Which feels like a battered bruise
And watch reruns of X files and it’s crew
And everything feels much better
And brand new
And they chase away my blues

When life feels hopeless
And everything lost
Every ties of your life
Feels like it was a serious knot
Heavy price you paid for love
And at what cost
It’s then I sit on my porch
And listen to my favorite music
And reflect on the march
Sounds from the past
No longer playing a trick
And my head feels clearer
And feelings resolved
About my ordeal
My wounds heal
And I pick up the pieces
And move forward
With a new zeal
And my spirits soar
And then once again
Get back into life with a roar

When life feels frustrating
And everything seems wrong
All laws of physics
Seems like Murphy’s law
Every path I take
Turns out to be a dead end instead
To a journey unknown
And path I still had to tread
And I am at the crossroads of my life
And I don’t know which way to go
For my bruised soul to survive
It’s then I go on a long drive
To my favorite city
Where everything about it
Is breathtaking beauty
I take a deep breath
And for a moment I lose myself
In God’s awesome creation in front of me
And I think to myself
The person who created this
Must have something good planned for me too

Poem Four
Life Is Such A Quagmire

Life can sometimes be such a quagmire
And it sometimes feels like such a satire
Nothing in this world permanent and universe seems to conspire
No matter what may or may not have transpired
Everything seems so quintessential within our reach yet not near
And all the best laid plans that misfire
And dominoes effect that sets into motion that has gone haywire
It’s like Sergei Brin rubbing our nose in it by being on the cover of Esquire
And no more challenges left for him but few countries to acquire
It’s like a deer caught in the headlights a price so dear
While I am sitting roasting marshmallows on the bonfire
The unknown all around me sometimes makes me perspire
This life sometimes feels like I am walking on tight wire
And being thrown into eye of the danger without being equipped with right attire
At my wits end trying to make sense of my life and trying to get inspired
Maybe God will send me a sign the skies above me are so sapphire
In this crooked world things to stay clear
And things to stay away from and steer
With this bustling world streets of dire
And hustling strangers such crooked liars
It’s like being out of a pan and into a fryer
And it feels like blood is being sucked out of you by a vampire
To this beautiful thought that so cavalier
It’s like the beating drums of the town crier
Spelling the death knoll on your favorite team that’s about to retire

It feels good the weekend is finally here
You get to tell your boss that’s for sire
And you are not his slave for hire
And enjoy the weekend to my heart’s desire
With a tight kick from my roomie on my rear
It’s time to get the engine of my Chevrolet on fire
And feel the rubber burning on the tire
And time to kickback and enjoy life in full gear
With your best friends and cold beer
In high spirits and all around cheer
Having fried clams and crab at the pier
And your girlfriend in short skirts to admire
It’s like having on your arms the celebrity Brittney Spears
Making you feel like the man of the year
In this life we all have to endear
To live life to the fullest a rule to live by and to adhere
In God’s eyes we should consider this as the final frontier
No matter how the game of life may seem to appear
Ultimately we all have to persevere
Work hard and play hard only compliment you can give to yourself so sincere
Few things in this life you should always revere
Treat this world like a movie with you as the premiere
Reaching the heights and soaring the skies we all aspire
This happens to be life’s most beautiful elixir
And it’s about sailing the high seas in high speed without fear

Poem Five
Baby What’s Love Anyway

Sometimes in this world of many
You meet someone
Who feels like your destiny
It feels like love from the very start
And down the road only to find out
It was not meant to last
And you ask yourself
And what’s love anyway
When it does not last forever anyway
Like it was supposed to last
No matter how hard you try to make it stay
So why waste time over my broken heart
When love does not really last
And why call it love anyway
When love’s not meant to last forever anyway

I am no Einstein
Laws of physics is not my dance
But It does not take a genius
To figure this one out
About love and romance
Love is not just once in a lifetime
And your only chance
Your only romance
To find love of your life
And happiness that comes by your side
As the only one sealed and dealed
And sent our way
It is not just about one
And only one love
And one and only one chance
But in this life
To give your heart another chance
To feel romance
And to feel it in different ways
In several different ways
Of beautiful people who will come into your life
In this life’s journey
That we call life
At different points in different ways
In several different ways
And again a brand new chance at romance
And to define love once again
As a new happiness you feel in your life
In a sweet new beautiful way

I am no Einstein
And laws of physics is not my dance
And it does not take a genius
To figure this one out
About love and romance
To my broken heart
Which still sobs over love lost
Over love that has gone estray
To my aching heart
Which refuses to heal
From a wound that feels too deep
This is what I have to say
Why be this broken anyway
To my broken heart
Which still sobs over love lost
Over a love that has gone estray
To my aching heart
Which refuses to heal
From a wound that feels too deep
This is what I have to say
Why be this broken anyway
Once again I find myself
Consoling my broken heart
Which refuses to listen to reason
And feels so broken
That hurt won’t go away
To pick up the pieces
And move on
It’s not that life does not give you
A second chance
And a new romance
To feel whole new love
In a whole new way
And not just only one opportunity at love
That was sent sealed and dealed our way
So why be this broken anyway
In this life you do not get
Only one chance at romance
Is not what life and destiny
Has planned
For us anyway
In this world of many
We are destined to meet few and not just one
Who were created just for us
To start life as brand new
To meet someone new
As someone new to meet along the way
And not just one single chance at romance
Sent sealed and dealed our way

Sometimes in this world of many
You meet someone
Who feels like your destiny
It feels like love from the very start
And down the road only to find out
It was not meant to last
And you ask yourself
And what’s love anyway
When it does not last forever anyway
No matter how hard you try to make it stay
So why waste time over my broken heart
When love does not really last
And why call it love anyway
When love’s not meant to last forever anyway

I am no Einstein
Laws of physics is not my dance
But It does not take a genius
To figure this one out
About love and romance
Sometimes in this world of many
You meet someone
Who feels like your destiny
It feels like love from the very start
And down the road only to find out
It was not meant to last
And you ask yourself
And what’s love anyway
And you ask yourself
And what’s love anyway

Poem Six
Go Out There And Make A Difference

What are you scared of
All you need is courage
Not unheard of
Don’t let people stop you or fold
Don’t be scared of this world
Don’t be scared of what people will say
People will talk no matter what you do have to do or say
Remember it is not always about your religion
But also about theirs and their blatant assumptions
Go out there and make a difference
First and foremost in your own life
And that will give you the strength to do so in other people’s life
Obstacles will always be there
That in essence is life
Not a smooth journey no matter how much you prepare
Meant to be removed from your path and overcomed
If you don’t remove them
How will you get to your destination?
Go conquer this world
This world is yours
Go make a difference
You were born to do so
The day you were born

Believe in yourself
Go out there
Make a difference
Believe in yourself
Go out there
Change the worl

This world is your playground
Don’t let anything stop you
Success is yours to achieve
All you have to do is set your heart to it and believe
You can change the world
So do take the initiative
But also always remember you need to be strong first
Intelligence and power comes with responsibility (in this world)
Let your passion guide you
And allow your imagination to soar
You were meant to do great things
Never ever sell yourself short
Go change this world
It belongs to those who dare
If you have will and determination
You can achieve anything no matter how rare
This world is filled with people who need heros
Go out there and reach out to them
And give them hope
Give them an opportunity at a better world
And stop people from getting lost in the fold
Go out there and make a difference
In your own life and in other people’s life as well
You were meant to do great things
Do not let anything stop you
Believe in yourself
And the world will believe in you

Believe in yourself
Go out there
Make a difference
Believe in yourself
Go out there
Change the world

Poem Seven
Moving On Anyway Is Another Name Of Life

You are not the only one in this journey of life
People will come and go into your life
Some to stay
And make a difference
Others as passers by
And lessons to be learnt in may day
Some bring happiness into your life
Others are just a lesson to be learnt

Why waste time playing the blame game
And what could or could not have been
Since nothing ever really stays the same
When it’s lot simpler to leave the bankruptcies of your life
And just move on
One way or other
They will all leave their mark today
In a known or in an unknowing way
Like footprints in the sand
Affecting your destiny and your mind
No matter which path we take

The path ahead is filled with ups and down
Destiny unknown
And opportunities that will come and go
The path ahead is filled with curve balls
And shortcuts easy to take and stray
It is not always about being right
it is also not always about being wrong
Nor is it easy to stay on the path
When temptations all around us are abound
The path we still take to get to our destination
It still happens to be as important
As the one in our imagination
Because the path we take
Defines who and what we are
The path we do take
Ultimately defines us as the person we are

Change is another name of life
Changing with times is an
Important survival game of life
That we all have to play
Changing with times in this tough world
Gives you a strong hold
To keep moving forward strong and bold
Adapting to changing times
Is important in winning the game of life

You do not get too many chances at winning
No matter how hard you strife
This world belongs to the one
Who changes with time and keeps on ticking
This world belongs to the person
Who keeps on moving forward at all times
The world belongs to the person
Who keeps moving on in life
Hold your head up high and accept change
And keep moving forward
Because that is how you win this game

Poem Eight
Afterall Who Has Seen Tomorrow

Baby who has seen tomorrow
So do borrow
A page of happiness from life
And fill it with all the colors of the rainbow
Baby why be so sad
When this world can be yours
Accept what you cannot control
And make happiness your goal
This life is after all too short a journey
So go live it with no regrets honey
If there is one lesson we should all takeaway
It spares no one
And comes everyone’s way
A little bit of high
A little bit of low
Sometimes we have no choice
But to go with the flow
This life is after all too short a journey
So go live it with no regrets honey

Baby do not look back too much
This world is filled with mooch and disgusts
After all what is there to gain
Sometimes it is better to move on
Than to dwell on the pain
If it was meant to be
It would not have gone away
What is the point in feeling loss of something
That was never really yours in the first place
Because if it was yours
It would not have gone away
Life is too short a journey
Why live it with regrets anyway
So go out and live life and seize the day

Baby this life is nothing
But a story of pleasure and pain
A little bit of sunshine
And a little bit of rain
A little bit of loss
A little bit of gain
Along with a little bit of hard work
And a little bit of play
A little bit of giving
A little bit of taking
A little bit of singing
And a little bit of mingling
Baby it is all part of life
And it is all here to stay
Baby it is all part of life
And it is all here to stay
After all if you snooze
You will lose
Because life has a mind of its own
And it will keep on ticking
In the end we are all just glad
That we are all alive and still kicking
Life is too short a journey to live with regrets anyway
So go out and live life and seize the day

Work hard play harder
Others should not really get to have a say
When you are not hurting anyone
To hell with them anyway
In this life people will come and go
Some are lessons learnt
While some stay all through the way
With all the highs and the lows
That gets thrown your way
This life is too short
Somethings are meant to be tossed
Out of your life any way
Like the saying goes
When one door closes
Other opens and paves the way
Accept what you cannot control
Make happiness your goal
Life is too short a journey
Why live it with regrets anyway
So go out and live life and seize the day

Baby who has seen tomorrow
So do borrow
A page of happiness from life
And fill it with all the colors of the rainbow
Baby why be so sad
When this world can be yours
Accept what you cannot control
And make happiness your goal
This life is after all too short a journey
So go live it with no regrets honey
If there is one lesson we should all takeaway
It spares no one
And comes everyone’s way
A little bit of high
A little bit of low
Sometimes we have no choice
But to go with the flow
This life is after all too short a journey
So go live it with no regrets honey

Poem Nine
Life Is Meant To Be Lived With Regrets

When life feels like a dead end go out and touch someone
When life feels meaningless learn to let go and smile again
When life feels hopeless choose to be happy and live again
When everything around you feels like one big mess
Realize lfe will always be a liitle bit of love and little bit of regrets

Life is meant to be lived with regrets
It’s ultimately about paying your due respects
Live life large like there’s no tomorrow
Do not make choices which leads to sorrow
Few mistakes we all make are simply lessons learnt
Few we don’t maybe opportunities lost and bridges burnt
If you do not take a chance on life you will never find out
Sometimes love is something you chase after instead of sitting it out
In this life things don’t always come easy
Grab happiness from life even if it gets busy
In this world there are no gauruntees in life
Take time to smell the roses and feel alive
Live life like it is meant to be conqered
Chase after your dreams and fulfil it and make it yours forever
Life will always come with ups and downs
Few highs and lows that will always come your way and meant to surmount
In this life sorrow is something nobody can escape
No matter where you hide or which path you take
People will give you rope to hang yourself
Learn to kick them hard and kick them back and respect yourself
Always face your fears head on no matter what and at life’s every bend
Never ever surrender even if it is till the very end
What good is this life if you haven’t lived it with regrets
It just means you have lived life and payed it it’s due respect
When life feels like a dead end go out and touch someone
When life feels meaningless learn to let go and smile again
When life feels hopeless choose to be happy and live again
When everything around you feels like one big mess
Realize lfe will always be a little bit of love and little bit of regrets

Poem Ten
This Life Will Always Be A Mystery

Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you

God what were you thinking when you created us
Are we just your mere pawns?
Why can we be so easily be broken?
Why do we face heartbreak?
Why is pain and sorrow part of our life?
You have the resource of the universe
At your disposal when you are creating us
You can create incredible beauty
And life can be beautiful
Then why is there so much pain and misery in this world?

Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you

You tell us happiness is the way of life
Then why is it such a fleeting thing
Why does it not last?
Why is It transient
Why can’t we capture happiness and make it ours forever
Why do you feel we need to know unhappiness?
In order to recognize and enjoy happiness
Trust me when I say this
I do not need unhappiness to recognize happiness
Let happiness be my permanent companion
Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you

This life is a tough journey
The paths we take are unknown
And filled with uncertainty
Why can’t we have little more certainty in our lives
Why should future be such a huge question mark
Give us some clue about the paths we endeavor
Just like the clouds in the sky warn us about the rainfall
Just like the lightening before the thunderstorm
Give us some clue about our destination
So that we are not scared about life

Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you

Why is loss part of our life?
Why is loss an inevitable thing?
If loss is supposed to be part of our life
Then why do you put people in our lives in the first place
Why do you give us attachment
Why do you make us care?
Why do you give us these feelings
Where we cannot let go
Feelings that makes loss so unbearable
Please do not give us this attachment and love
If loss is supposed to be the ultimate thing from above

Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you

Love is a strange feeling
It can be source of both pain and ecstasy
If something is capable of giving us so much joy
Then why do you make it a source of pain too?
Why is love such an elusive thing
Is it destiny?
Our loves in life
Why is it predetermined?
Are we destined to be in each other’s life from before?
If so why can’t it be a permanent cycle of happiness?
Why is something that can be source of so much love and happiness?
Can also be bearer of so much pain?
What kind of world is this?
What kind of life is this?

Life I have known you for a long time now
You are still a mystery
Life I have known you for a long time now
You still puzzle me
When I was young and invincible
I thought I could conquer you
I am older and wiser now
And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you
I still cannot recognize your footprints
Life why are you so scary and uncertain?
Life I have known you for a long time now
I still do not understand you
