Apsara

An Apsara is a female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. English translations of the word "Apsara" include "nymph," "celestial nymph," and "celestial maiden." Apsaras are beautiful, supernatural women. They are youthful and elegant, and proficient in the art of dancing. Apsaras are said to be able to change their shape at will, and rule over the fortunes of gaming and gambling. Urvasi, Menaka, Rambha and Tilottama are the most famous among them.  There are two types of Apsaras; Laukika (wordly), of whom thirty-four are specified, and Daivika (divine), of which there are ten. ~ from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsara

I see Light, I feel light!

Why am I feeling so light?

Is that my heaven in sight?

I am happy I've spoken my mind

Mustering all the courage I could find.

Without her, the heart is without hope,

like the Vatican so without Pope ( :-))

My talks may sound silly now, am I an idiot

Its better than asking in life later, 'did it yet'?

She is hesitant and sad, consumed by her fear

I am crying out to her 'Dont worry, for I am here'.

She did not answer my question, didnt say Yes,

But again, neither she said No, God bless!

So I would say i still got a pretty good chance,

though scared like a knight with one good lance.

I may not be her angel, not sent by divinity,

but will always put her happiness before mine, can say with certainity.

Cant say I will outlive her, may be separated by my death,

But I can promise my loyalty to her, right down to the last breath.

now I wait with bated breath, letting her decide,

hoping that in my old age, I can sit with her beside.

I am ready to wait till comes the time, well until then,

writing such silly poems with sillier rhyme.

Give up in life...it is good.

Give up in life...it is good.

Give up a fight

   for the sake of peace.

Give up anger

   for the virtue of patience.

Give up luxuries

   for your ideals

Give up passion

   for your principles

Give up ignorance

   for the enlightment of learning

Give up idleness

   for the excitement of earning

Give up pride

   to practise what is humility

Give up wealth

   for the sake of humanity

Give up fear

   for surviving your life

Give up life

   for the happiness of your love.

For the one woman

for the one woman in my life...the life that she graced by her love.

for one man she was the object called wife.

but for me she was the objective of my life.

for one man she was an endless duty

for me she was a boundless beauty.

for one man, he always felt apart from she,

as for me, I always felt she was a part of me.

for one man, she was a bother, he never cared.

she felt safe with me, to hurt her, no one dared.

for one man, he acted smart, making her look like a fool.

as for me, i am ready to be a fool, to make her look cool.

for one man, he would fight with her, he was loveless

as for me, i would die for her, she was priceless.

Cruelty to the loving mother

I am her son; she is my dying mother,

I am her son, unloving and cruel to her.

All my life she has held me up,

held me up as I walked and played.

I stomped and stamped on her, threw dirt on her face,

littered her place with filth, set her house ablaze.

I knew only to take, took the wealth that was hers,

all my brothers did the same, and so did the sisters.

She once had a pretty face, so pleasant and serene,

on a glorious sunny day, brilliant was her sheen.

But I was a fool and rash, her face is marked in scratches,

she has lost her beauty, dented ugly in patches.

One mother took care of us all, all love she would shower.

but all could not take care of one mother, we lacked the power.

I have hurt her so much, the very source of my birth,

she still loves me so much, my beautiful Mother Earth.

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman lies not in

   the fairness of her skin, 

   the fullness of her face,

   the curviness of her body,

   the shine of her teeth,

   the youth of her years,

but in the way she radiates warm smile when she walks with grace and elegance in the male chauvinistic world, looking the man in the eye, telling him that she has a place in the world that no man can conquer, that she walks her way through the wolves!

that is when the man becomes engulfed in her true beauty, sees the courage in her grace, feels weak in his knees and wants nothing more than be in her embracing love forever

Sad thing in life

The sad thing in life is

to walk in the beach on a starry night, turn back,

and find only one pair of footprints in the sand.

to walk in the road on a rainy day, look down,

and find only yourself under the umbrella.

to sit in a fancy restaurant on a happy day,

and order only one cup of coffee.

to come home after a hard day's work and call out,

and hear your own echo.

to have a head ache, the balm in the right hand.

and find only your left hand applying it on your forehead.

to have a brilliant thought inside your head,

and forget it before you can find someone to tell it.

Don't aim, don't reach!

Dont aim for the stars,

Oh, so far away,

Rather smell the flowers

how fragrantly they sway.

Dont reach out to the sun,

find warmth in its heat

Dont reach out to the moon,

find your way in its light

Dont reach out to God,

let him find you by your deeds.

Dont give sympathy to the poor,

let your generosity quench their needs

Random Streaks!

God does not save you from being pushed down in life. All he does is
ensure that there is a ground under you when you fall, strong enough
to hold you when you get up.

Everyone falls down in life. What really matters is whether you fall down
as a dead oak who wont live up,
or a stubborn bloke who wont give up.

Intimacy is like an iceberg; you won't know the expanses of it until
you dive deep down into the ocean of love.

Love is like the universe, I see it around me, reach out to touch it.
Then I realize, I am already a part of it and connected with all
living beings by the bond of compassion.

Prayer to God every night

Dear God, when I die, let it be said that,

I was hounded by many failures, yet I never gave up trying;
I was silenced by many fears, yet I didn't flinch when it mattered;
I was thrown down on the ground often, yet I always found my legs to stand up;
I was not always appreciated for my good deeds, yet I put a smile on many faces;
I was only a mere mortal who could die, yet reached to the sky to touch the immortals.

A Good Life

A Good Life is where you are

  kissed by many when you are born
  blessed by many when you are alive
  and missed by many when you are dead

Actions without a Trigger

You can love without being loved
You can forgive without a confession
You can be courageous without being threatened
You can be valiant without fighting
You can be honest without being appreciated
You can be chivalrous without being adored
You can be noble without being rich


The good qualities in you don't need a platform to prove themselves.

Mother

She would cry when down I fell

She would forgive when at her I yell,

She walked with me when I grew up

She talked motivating me whenever I screw up

She would strike if I was ever threatened

She would console whenver I was disheartened.

My achievements were all her pride,

and when I failed she would put me on my stride.

She was my elixir, she was selfless,

I couldnt save her, I was helpless.

She was my angel, the only one I could see,

She is my mother, who else can it be.
