Adios Amigo...

Sometimes you meet someone with who you just click, you are comfortable with them, and they are with you. It seems like you have known each other for ages. There is no need for pretense; or rather there is just no room for pretense. They are also the ones who come into your life and make you see the sun where you once saw the clouds; see a rainbow where you once were depressed with the sight of heavy downpour; see the winds you can sail where you once saw a storm. These people who believe in you so much that you start believing in yourself. These people love you, respect you and trust you for who you are, for who you REALLY are. They simply want you to be you.

It is beautiful, almost divine, to realize that someone is in love with your mind, your soul, your essence. They disarm you, deconstruct you, liberate you, and inspire you. They help you to take down all the walls of the cocoons you have built up around yourself over time, and let them inside; let LOVE inside, let LIFE inside.

It is confounding how getting to know this someone seems more like remembering who they are. How their smile, their antics, bring you closer to the impossible conclusion that you have known them before, loved them before, in a different time, at a different place, in a different dimension. It brings you closer to a daunting realization that you were together, and then apart.
An helpless feeling of eventual separation dawns upon you.


These people, the window to our souls, help us see who we are. They clear the clutter; guide us back to where we were supposed to be; change our thoughts, actions and behavior. Their contribution is crucial, vital, quintessential to our existence, yet their existence is short lived. Their presence is too overwhelming, too extraordinary, like being touched by an angel.

They soon disappear into the crowd, from which they had emerged, forever leaving behind the fondest memory and a lucid realization.

The story of L & T

L&T, a story of 2 letters ;  Cheerful, Warm, Fun & Free,
Always smiling and ever buoyed, would soon be united by destiny...
Reaching into peoples hearts, filling them with faith & hope,
Invariably healing them a little, relieving them, helping them to cope,
Selfless, unbiased , kind and thoughtful, L&T would be nice to all,
Some people would abuse them, yet diligently they would answer every call,
Amiable, Pious & Pure , L & T would go about their merry way, unperturbed,
And They believed their time was yet to come, waited patiently, undisturbed..
Naively, Imaginary friend: Mutual respect, would introduce them: Love & Trust,
Dazzling each other, they would resonate, their chemistry would naturally combust,
Their synergy would reverberate, fitting into each other, like the pieces in a puzzle,
And restoring all past trauma,  Like the touch of joy left behind by the soft drizzle,
Really, Love is giving someone power to annihilate you, and Trusting them to not use it,
And, Trust is believing in someone wholeheartedly and Loving them even if they break it,  
Not that Love & Trust cant exist independently, Yet they complete the other in a way divine,
Getting united after years of trails, is the story of L&T, lived out in each one's life,in their own time...

The Quest...

A funny world with funny things in it, 
Feelings Funny, that too closely knit, 
You search for a piece that completes you, 
In that hole of your heart, which can fit...
You seek you search you scout you sift, 
For the ONE who, this gloom, can lift, 
And can elevate you to a land of rapture, 
And can transform the present into a gift...
They will be there with you in the darkest pit,
Or may look to light up the night sky with their wit,
The ONE would ride all the highs and lows,
Through thick & thin, by you they will always sit...
At times, if lucky, you find them in a bit,
Most times, you patiently wait for your hit,
Invariably & undeniably your quest would yield bliss,
Leaving your existence ever so brightly lit...

The hole in my heart....

There is this weird, dark little place in me from the very start,
That houses a deep bottomless pit, like a hole in my heart,
This dull, lifeless entity exists for no apparent reason or rhyme,  
Yet it sits amidst the entire ensemble, shows up in every chart…

I ignored it initially, but with time acknowledged it part by part,
Figured I could fill it with various desires & dreams, cart by cart,
Thus began my quest to find someone or something that,
Would fill my existence up thoroughly, leading the void to depart…

I studied like a scholar, to gain knowledge & strengthen my mind,
I learnt to connect with people, to care for them and to be kind,
I took up causes, struggled for the betterment of world at large,
Yet they could not fill the emptiness in me, singly or combined…

Along you come, cheerful and happy as ever, untouched by the mortal grind,
You don’t fill up the void, yet cause a tectonic shift in me, as if you were destined,
To transform the hole in my heart into the fountain of knowledge, wisdom & love,
Revitalizing every iota of my being, miraculously so, as if for this purpose it was designed,

 It FLOWS today, unabated and unrestricted, replenishing and invigorating me,
Thanks to you restoring that which was scary, dark, and an eyesore to see,
Invariably & undeniable grateful to you, blessed I am with your divine presence,

I owe you my heart, my life & my existence, Who I am, Who I was and Who I will be…

Sometimes the person who you want the most is the person you are best without...

 


Sometimes the person who you want the most is the person you are best without,
Sometimes the thing that attracts the most, is the thing that you ought to cast out,
It allures you to feel better,feel euphoric, like an illusion of rain in the drought,
But the goodness is short lived, condemned to an terrible end ,without doubt,

The one who rises from these ashes of gloom, and commits to you like a devout,
Is the one who you entrust, who can invariably help you win the internal Good-Evil bout,
Rare are such finds that appeals to every fiber of your being, throughout
Yet this is the quest, the journey to the blissful heaven, that Life is undeniably all about...
