Glories to Lord Krishna

His sweet smile,
His wide lotus eyes,
His curly dark hair,
His blue soft skin,
Enchanted everyone in Gokula,
when he arrived.

His wisdom words,
His stern advises,
His holy name,
His stories,
Can eradicate darkness,
And spread joy.

A loyal friend,
A great teacher,
A wise philosopher,
A loving son,
But nothing can compare,
His love for his devotees

The evening sky

The sun sets,
Slowly dissolving and melting,
Letting the moon to replace,
It's place and shine.

The day is over,
The night begins,
The birds fly,
Back to their chicks,
And dwelling faraway.

The skies are no longer blue,
It's orange sometimes,
It's violet sometimes,
And suddenly turns completely dark.

The stars begin to shine,
The weather is calm,
Pleasant and serene,
With momentary breeze.

Krishna's Meera

To the world,

she was someone's wife,

she was someone's daughter,

she was Rajput royal,

but to her,

she was only Krishna's Meera

She was a child,

naive and curious,

asked her mother,

"who will be my groom?",

her mother smiled,

pointing at Krishna's idol,

saying, "he's the one"

Little did her mother knew,

what she said as a jest,

would be  taken seriously,

her daughter's love,

grew leaps and bound,

as years passed by

Precious gems,

Sparkling ornaments,

Elegant clothes,

nothing attracted her,

more than Lord's name

Every day,

Every minute,

Every second,

she was immersed

in Krishna's name

She was tested,

every walks of her life,

Her in laws conspired,

to execute her,

but nothing stopped her,

from being Krishna's Meera

Writer's Block

Blank spaces,

Empty pages,

Lost words,

Clogged mind,

Unsure where to start or end

Many stories in mind,

Many sagas to unfold,

Many poems to share,

Many thoughts to inspire,

Unsure where to start or end

Pen in hand,

Thoughts in mind,

Staring at the emptiness,

Unsure where to start or end

Let's teach our child

Let's teach our child,

to love themselves,

completely and unconditionally,

accepting their flaws,

forgetting what world wants them to be

Let teach our child,

to make mistakes,

and learn from them,

the lessons of life,

and never repeat them again.

Let's teach our child,

to be patient and calm,

waiting for their time,

with more focus and determination,

and never give up attitude

Let's  teach our child,

their life is beyond,

marks and grades,

expectation of societies,

and career and success

Let's teach our child,

to think and ponder,

to create and build,

to question the rules,

not just follow the norms

Let's teach our child,

to live life to the fullest,

to be brave and courageous,

to accept their special talents,

to be themselves.

Stay strong

Stay strong,
Things may go wrong,
But life must go on,
Don't stop,
Move on.

Stay focused,
Don't look back,
Past can't be changed,
But present can be modified.

Stay patient,
Dreams will be true,
Your time will come,
But now is not too late,
Or too early.

Stay happy,
Spread joy,
Smiles are precious,
So are the good memories.

Stay grounded,
Fly as far as you can,
But don't forget your roots,
Every bird returns to its nests,
Once the sun sets.

Stay determined,
Don't let the world,
The failures and disappointments,
wash your confidence.

Fight back,
Aim higher,
Don't give up
Keep going.

The Rain

The sun shies behind the clouds,
hiding its brightness,
diminishing its heat,
to make way for the rain.

The clouds join together,
negatives ones as well as positive ones,
filled with water droplets,
collected from the ground.

The lightening strikes,
the thunder roars,
the temperature falls,
the sky darkens,
to signify the arrival of the rain.

One drop falls,
Another falls,
and several falls together,
within few minutes,
wetting the cities and towns.

While everyone runs,
to escape the wrath,
the plants spread their leaves,
to accept God's blessings.

The soil enriches,
the flowers blooms,
the droplets form on leaves,
several lives are reborn,
due to the rain.
