From gloom to glow
From turmoil to tranquility
From forgetfulness to remembrance
From anxiety to serenity
From fear to adventure
From meloncholy to wonder
From apathy to awe
From want to hope
From desires to freedom
From tears to tears
Breath by breath
I travel.
This is my itinerary.

Sometimes while driving my car on an open road, I feel like crying. And I ask myself, why? Sometimes I see through a cloud at night, wondering at the faint blue shimmering star and my eyes well up. At the crack of dawn, when the sound of prayer call from a near by mosque fills the air, my heart aches. Sometimes I am so fragile that even a drop of rain can shatter me, a ray of sun can burn me. I do not know why? I sit alone and ponder over things that can change this. Music, painting, writing...and I realize that this feeling doesn't go away, only it comes out in a different way. This feeling.. I don't even know how to describe it. Its not loneliness, sadness, self loathing or emptiness. Its as if, there is something bubbling inside wanting to come out, but it can't. There is something, that is stuck inside, trying to pull me inward. Something, which fills my mind and my heart day in and day out. I don't love with all my soul. There is no beauty in my laughter, no depth in my tears. Each moment life is slipping by and I do not know how to live it.

She locks the door
And hides the key
So they would not
Be let to see
What’s hidden there
In layers deep
Regrets and such
That cause “the weep”
From broken heart
And wounded soul
The muffled sounds
The cries of woe
Continue on
Through silent plight
Her whispered pleas
To brave the night
Beneath the veil
She dared not show
The tears she prayed
They would not know
That here within
Her quiet place
She keeps her key
Safe in His grace

I am ...
To those who’ve gone through my posts,
I write more on soul , I understand ...
I think , I see myself not much as my physical being ,
Rather as the energy within
Which gives light & life to my existence ...
I truly believe that this shadow of mine is just a temporary dwelling place of my higher spirit ...
Which is on a journey to it’s haven...

When you meet your old friends or family member
They may ask you some question
How's work?
How's life?
Are you already successful and rich yet?
Are you already married?
But never one of them asking you,
Are you happy and satisfied?
Why?
Because they themselves
Are not happy and satisfied with their own life?
Possibly they are

Incomplete
"Your eyes glistened like sand on a bright sunny day..."
And a few other lines that I wrote and threw away ;
As I felt estranged after you had lost your way.
"Soul as deep and unfathomable as ....."
And once again I fail miserably to find a metaphor;
Hatred is a feeling that I can no longer defer.
"Steadfast as a rock your love for me is....was..."
And here I am still living in that time ;
I was too naive to be able to secern the wretched from divine.
While you're sitting on your high horse looking for my name on your scandal sheet ;
Let my story embitter your sumptuous treat ;
For all the damage you've done has been nothing more than a few poems left incomplete.

I still fall in love with the soul,
which feel like yours.
I still fall in love with the soul,
whose scent mesmerise me like yours.
I still fall in love with the soul,
whose sparkle hit straight to the glass windows
of my soul.
I'm still there, where we amend into strangers.
Waiting desperately for your glimpse. At least once. -

#16 Subtleties of Life.
As you end the day with a lot of thoughts running relentlessly in your mind, sit back! because it is much needed time for rest.
"Come on man! Work hard as much as you can. Walk the extra mile. Do whatever it takes. " said the one who never really paid attention to the Subtelities of life. My people there are times when life's hard and what we get in reply for the advices that we seek in those times is the one I mentioned upwards.
Really? I know it does work. But not everytime. There are times when we need to take a step back and accept rather than fight. Stay silent more than we speak; rest more than we work. And well, if you ask me what happens when we do that, I'd tell you that our mind becomes refreshed so much so that we think better and take better actions. Mindless action looks super sexy at times but why mindlessly indulge in that.

Baby Steps
Tired of striving, Tired of sinning
From my thoughts to my deeds
Stuck in my knowledge, with little to no fruits manifested
O, wretched man indeed!
How long, O Lord, how long?
Will you show your glory in this misery?
My inclinations are not right
My heart's desire isn't fully you
O that by any means, purge me from this malady
Look to Christ, you feeble soul!
He is worthy of your all
Cast your burdens upon Him
For He is a friend who sincerely listens!

I sit alone in the park
I sit alone in the park
The cold chill my companion
Cheeks stained by a river of self-doubt
Each of my thoughts are lost
Mimicking stars as they flicker
In and out
In and out
I tell myself to breathe
I need to loosen my shoulders
Tell myself it is not my fault
Time just keeps moving
Yet my body remains immobile
I just need to think
Need to be by myself
I sit alone in the park
The winter is gone now
I see the soil that details the ground
Yet where there is warmth
My body is cold
My thoughts not my own
I sit alone in the park

In Thy Mind
It is a reservoir of abstractions,
Of connections, conceptions and ideations,
What goes around inside is a mystery,
Things are branched out in a huge tree.
The greatest gift to mankind,
Which often renders him blind,
Pushes him on paths uncertain,
Paths riddled with storm and rain,
With holes big enough to swallow,
Into the depths where others follow,
The depths of abyss and doom,
Where there’s just enough room,
For those who are caught unawares ,
In its twisted, crooked schemes.
All it requires is a peek,
Not recommended for the weak,
For they are to get lost,
In the rabbit hole they just crossed,
For the one who is a seeker,
His spirit shall not waver,
In its treacherous depths,
For in those treacherous depths,
He shall find the answer to the question,
Which made him the seeker.
He looks for God in temples,
As if his mind is in shambles,
Only if he had given it a chance,
He would have had His glance,
In that chaos, there would have been order,
He could have been the Lamb of the Shepherd,
And peace would have been his fodder.

Is this how it feels to be on the outside?
Slow and vulnerable,
Being the subject of a diagrammatic thought
Slithering to get out
In ways you know nothing of yet,
Overstretching and dragging the sanctity of becoming
A petite pleasure of being the object.

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.

#Night #Life #Space #Inspiration #Contemplation'Pinprick Holes in a Colorful Sky'
Stepping ascending flickering stars
Climb in patterned constellations
Embrace each Heavenly delight.
Resonant of a musical vibration
Into realms beyond infinite harmonics
Perpetual balances within celestial spheres.
Embrace the glow of radiant becomings
Welcoming energy found of embracing
Pinpricks awaken an inspiring life.

Numbness
Sometimes we don't wanna say anything,
We don't wanna listen people
We just don't want anything in that particular moment.
And we just contemplate our life and wonder. Obviously we don't so much remember those moments but trust me those are the moments that have made you whatever you are right now.
Always respect your own company

What do others think about you?
A frequent useless question popped in my mind
For the thirty-second time this minute
Going out on a limb that's hard to climb
A leap of faith assures you that you're fine
While landing presents you with fresh biting lines
What was the leap if you only keep your most destructive thoughts
No matter how well you did it or what you achieved
You're brought back down again to face the grief
Created by your own headspace inline
Waiting for another leap to land
And for your thoughts on fire to be fanned
Relief?
I have no belief
Make your own happiness as it fleets
Hold onto the moments most precious to you
And you will find
An easier trek ahead
While not silent in your head
A damper on the useless thoughts
That plague your cloud nine

Insomnia
Embracing my pillow
Trying hard to rest
My heart is weary
But my mind is trying it's best
To cause unrest
There is fear in my eyes
Thus I am unable to sleep
My body trembling
Overthinking, contemplating
I turn around thinking
If you ever existed beyond my dreams?
