indestructible

as the years go by

I writhe with pains of old age

and I thought I was indestructible

hope….tanka

I thank you

as I hope for the pain to go away

for giving me the pain

for it has made me more hopeful

than I ever was till now

Soulmate

(google images)

It breaks down barriers
But also creates distances
True love surpasses all
The ups and downs of life

Yet leaves a deep hollow

Inside the wounded heart
That nevers fills up
Or rarely it overflows
With raging emotions
Drowning the self
In the cavernous depths of fantasy

But rises the soul
That has experienced these emotions
To live on and on
Becoming one with its soul mate
In a world of his own
Oblivious to the surroundings

dichotomy…haiku

(google images)

the body writhes in pain

the mind wanders to a dream land

this dichotomy sustains me

strife

food to eat

some quality sleep

a family to love

nothing more deep

pure laughter

and simple needs

make up my life

i have no greed

yet i lie in bed

with no sleep

my parents are long gone

i want to weep

but then i pick up the pieces

of my broken life

and muster the courage

to continue this strife

Pain

writhing in pain
my mind and soul are numb
come back life

Train journey

As I set foot
On the train
My journey starts
Of fun and pain

I meet people
From all walks of life
They come and go
Happiness and strife

And as the train runs
On the rugged tracks
I am reminded of the ups and downs
And of the holes and cracks

I relive my life’s struggles
And how I have to go on
I have to endure everything
To decipher, for what I was born
