To love you and to get back love in return,
Is like asking for the stars, moon and saturn.
Won't you oblige and fill my empty heart,
Your half moves are pretty difficult to discern.
Come what may, make love and spread warmth,
The world doesn't offer love on a platter, it is stern.
You only live once and with abated breath survive,
Don't lose this opportunity, it isn't wise to adjourn.-
Sitting on the empty shores I wonder about my fate,
Pondering about life and what slipped out of my hand.
I remain mum, lest secrets will become open to debate,
Was this a reality or was I in dreamland?
I failed to read the signs which were pretty straight,
I wasn't cautious and with no one to advise.
In love, being skeptical isn't good a trait
Was I a whimsical guy who hasn't been wise?
Now with a broken heart I have failed to relate,
I feel suicidal but I can't run and flee.
I can't win her at this juncture even if I prostrate,
Submerged with emotions my 'thoughts float over the sea' .

Profess..
Otherwise regret that you had no courage for your own feelings.-
She thrived on paintings and murals to draw,
Her canvasses depicted her art which was predominantly raw.
In a male dominated culture she stood her ground,
Her paintings were acquired by museums of San Francisco and crowned.
Her works were versatile and she broke many a barrier,
She wasn't less courageous than any Aztec warrior.
Best known for her religious based themes, nudes and portraits,
She depicted and glorified women which carried a lot of weights.
A Padma shree awardee and armed with literature,
She defied the odds which showed through her signature.
Translucent colors and thin washes were her pride,
On antithesis of modern and
post modern techniques she thrived.
Seldom does a woman continue to enthrall us in reins,
She broke shackles and depicted 'art in her veins'.-
Never did I think that love
would have facets of treachery,
Was it love or
a plain example of debauchery,
The promises and vows
struck me like a bolt of lightning,
Realisation dawned upon me
and I now sulk while crying.
Why me in the whole world
had to face this disaster,
Fate lays me low and
I keep searching for an answer.
Weren't the signs obvious or
was I fooled into believing him,
Was I hypnotized
to his charms, fancies and whim.
Never would I consider
any body worthy of loving again,
Unblinkingly staring at a debacle,
my 'happiness comes to an end' .

Makes me rush eagerly to be with my family,
A failed day for me with more expenses and less money,
I walk towards home seeking solace in my kids,
Their cheerful faces brighten my day and give respite from agony,
How I wish I had a lot to spend and buy anything they fancy,
Or take them out for a walk in the park casually.
Day and night I strive hard to fulfill their little wishes,
I rue the fact that I can't spend on them generously.
All is not lost as I still believe in my destiny,
I have not given up hope and will continue to work diligently.-
वक़्त वक़्त की बात है
दिन सुना तन्हा रात है
तेरे बगैर जिये अब कैसे
कश्मकश मे हालात है-
