It's just another lonely night ...

It has been a long time since I wrote anything here. This poem had been long pending, which I finally completed yesterday :) (I'd almost forgotten about this one!)

I think the "night" is one of the best things He blessed the man with! You can find so much solace in times of need! The serenity that the night brings is priceless! One can be so lonely while a thousand other things can be going on at the same time.

This poem gives a perspective of a lonely person, who just happens to create a mental map of the diverse things happening in the same night, in which he finds himself lonely.

It's just another lonely night ...

It's just another lonely night,

The streets are dull, nobody in sight,

Lamp posts are dim, so is everyone's balcony light,

It's just another lonely night.

A lot of events happen, some good, bad ones too,

People wonder how darkness can hold so much together,

While shades of hope & strikes of jubiliation find their space,

Glimpses of despair & winds of sorrow also stay in the race.

A doctor fought death and saved a life,

A soldier got gunned down, a few minutes past midnight,

A woman gave birth to her first son,

A life saved, a life lost and a new life, it's still the same lonely night.

A mother read stories to her five year old,

Where angels fought demons and fairies took might,

Students burn midnight oil, some fell asleep, a few brave enough to fight,

Affection nurtures or future beckons, it's still the same lonely night.

A drunkard bashed his wife again,

A thief got hold of a golden chain,

Some stars fell, wishes were made with delight,

So many things happening, it's still the same night!

A man made love to his beautiful wife,

A mighty deal was struck, when two giants agreed to bury their strife,

A couple felt closer to each other, after their first prom,

Love or Business, all combined in the same night.

The night will end, dawn will soon take its place,

The sun will rise and provide the world with grace,

The day will pass quickly, darkness will take dusk's place,

It'll be night again, more events to happen, good or bad, all in the same lonely night!

Just Act and Be Happy

Hello, Again!

The next poem basically focusses on the Art of Understading the Importance of Acting on Time and followed by a tantamount art of being Happy.

This just tells you that one should try to act on time, not fret over matters. Past is gone, live in the present, future beckons. Act and try to remain happy. Understand that deeds will show some result at one time or the other.

So here it is ....



Just Act and Be Happy!

Dreams,passion,love,friendship,goals and aspirations,
Responsibilities along with a world of emotions,
Are just a handful of things, I thought I needed to care for,
Just then, the others came knocking ..and rocking ..and knocking with full devotion!

I took care of this, and that, and again what was left,
In just one go, thought of all possibilities, that could ever grow,
Still the big jolts came from shores undiscovered,
That left me wondering, which hole was left uncovered.

Dejected, I sat down, and started thinking,
What went wrong, possibly right, or probably wrong,
If this was destined to happen, which sign did I not infer,
For a moment,it seemed like studying a crazy russian song.

No brainwaves visited my house that day,
Neither did answers peeped through the windows that May,
Looking for an answer, I spent all day,
Still blank, was all I could say.

Suddenly, noticed a flower drying up that night,
Filled the vase with water, but no respite,
Everything seemed perfect, yet it dried,
What could possibly be the trick of the night!

The flower got everything, much of water, air and sunlight,
Neither the next morning's Sun, nor the fresh breeze could give it life, and it dried!
I needed to act, when I had to, not only that night,
I was understanding something, was the answer in my sight?

This is life, and just your life,
Act when you need to and when it seems right,
Face the things one-by-one, and one-on-one,
Getting too panicky or remaining calm, is just a matter of your and my choice,

Things come and Things go, you handle matters and your grey cells grow,
Nothing can be finished, before its turn ...
Don't fret thinking, the possibilities are infinite,
Just act on time, and that'll save you a future fight!

You'll see the light, when you must,
Whats important is to keep your trust,
Be happy, smile and get to work...
Only that can be said, I hope it is worth!
