Sky is the Limit!!! 

Her eyes agonized fiercely blaz’d

At gloom, ho gloom, she worriedly gaz’d

That which she beheld never once her faz’d

By doom, ho doom, she was hastily chas’d

Her eyes petrified glowering and glaz’d

For spells, ho spells, her witchcraft was prais’d

That which she plundered at once was raz’d

In brine, ho brine, she was plunged and rais’d

Her eyes now smarted, flatly daz’d

With grime, ho grime, was her visage debas’d

That which she looted sundry folks amaz’d……

T’wasn’t no gold ring─

Nor a sassy starling─

T’wasn’t a unicorn’s hamstring─

Ahoy! T’was a harp o’ heartstrings!

If this Witch o’ Writin’

With Father Fate was fightin’

Ain’t no one then you stoppin’

Your dreams like stars ain’t droppin’

Don’t whoop and holler─

Smash and smother─

Sigh- sigh…sigh! ─

Let your spirits shoot up high

Just like quasars in the sky

Folly’s black holes do defy…..

Be not a meteor dimwit          

 You’re a pulsar─ sky’s your limit!!!

Realm O' Reality

Engulfed in thunderous seas o' thrashing fire......

Your heart's hamstrung between disdain & desire.

Dwellst thou in past glories once luminous - now forgotten

Your future's splendid sky's thus glazed, not star-smitten....

Pace thee forth into the realm o' reality.....

And stumble and gape-

Thou who dares disgrace.......

Yet another dazzling sun's smile

Yet another dew drop's whisper

Yet another child's twinkling eye

With wistful nostalgia......

                                   THE BEACH

 

I can smell it

The salty air

 As I sit on the warm sand

With the slipper in my hand

 see the sea so calm

I feel the sea water on my palm

The cool, tranquil water

The aqua blue

Color so true

The feeling so real

And surreal.

I'd never leave this place

 Thinking of its charm and grace.

My childhood garden

My childhood garden
my childhood garden
lush and green
it was so happy it made me scream
My joy and hopes
and all my mopes
My childhood garden

My childhood garden
with the ups and downs
when I jumped I could not touch the ground
it made it homey
my childhood garden

My childhood garden
flying high
with the little lies
the grass fine
up in the sky my kite
My childhood garden

My childhood garden
now in the past
I now know that it can never last
now as I get taller
it was different when I was smaller
My childhood garden

                      ''I hear this word all the time,

                           what it means, I wonder."

                       ''I went through all the history,

                    geography and other great books

                            but never got the answer.''

                  "They'd say it's emotional and touchy

                           but I did not understand"

             "In the library, I went through every content 

                                  of each book 

                         and kept on flipping the pages

                               one after the other

                             but none had the answer or 

                               would say it is spiritual"

                                "Once I saw a book

                               a rather fat and boring one.''

                         ''Some rate it out of each one's mind

                           But I wasn't discouraged and read.''

                                  ''The answer was here.''

                    ''I understood that obstacles or challenges,

                                  happiness or sadness

                             and failures or success make life.''

                            '' Everyone shook and laughed at me

                                     saying that I am emotional.''

                                   ''But I would reply if you think

                                            so then think ,

                                           but I know I'm right

                                                   don't you?''

The True Winner

                               There  once  lived  a  man . His  name  was  Ramnath. He was a well educated person . He lived with  his wife.  He was a man who had many goals .He  wanted  to achieve them but he did not do much  hard work. He was very intelligent, but was lazy ,he didn’t want to do hard work  He thought that every thing will come to him without asking in front of others .He waited and waited for the support from others .His wife told him”, Do something on your own . At least something .Don’t wait for others support’’. He  did not even search for a job. He idled away his time  hoping for the best to come .His wife became tensed and thought, If my husband doesn’t find a job soon, it will become a problem as are supplies are becoming over. We really  need money soon. His wife requested him a lot to find a job. But he  said ”No, no I won’t do that. Someone will come and give me a job. I am quite sure”. His wife gave up hope .She became even more worried than before as she had some hope before but now she thought, All is lost. Well as predicted the supplies and money got over still he did not search for a job. Now the wife took matters into her own hands .She found a small job not a big one as she was not very educated .But this money was not  enough for the family to survive. Once she got very angry and shouted a lot. She said, ”We could have lived comfortably if you would have taken a job”. Later Ramnath went to the public park .Over there he met his old friends. They did not meet for years. One of them said, “You know friends I have something interesting to tell .I met a person who was very educated and was able to get a good job. But surprisingly lives quite like a beggar. I’ll tell you why. He was too lazy. He did not want to find a job he wanted opportunities to come to him . Funny, right?’’ Everyone laughed. Later when Ramnath went home he thought about what his friend  had told, he thought isn’t this what my wife says all the time. He then said to himself,” This is my behavior if I continue like this then I will also start living like a beggar. I have understood my mistake I will surely mend my ways”. Yes, he said this with his heart .He did hard work .He wanted to make himself and everyone else proud. It took a lot of time as he was not very known in the village .According to his qualification he was able to become an engineer. He tried in many companies but luck took time in favoring   him. The first place he tried there was no vacancy .Some other companies rejected him because he did not have experience. But he was not discouraged. He tried and tried and got a small job. Then later with his hard work and determination he became the head of the firm .He made himself and his family proud .His wife told him that it was because of hard work and determination to be the winner in life made everything  possible .Yes, Ramnath is the true winner in life.

Dreams turn into Reality

 

 

Once there lived a boy named John. He was cute 8 year old boy. The saddest thing in his life was that he had no parents, his parents died when he was 4 years old and he was taken care by a lady. The lady was rude to him and never loved him. She took him to a hostel and made him stay there, the lady used to give only the school fees, but he was not alone. Every day after his school he used to go to the tree near to the school and he used to talk to the tree about his sadness and about his day. Even though it would not reply he would get some comfort while talking to the tree. He had only one dream to become a well-known artist. After some days the lady died and he was not able to go to the school or stay in the hostel, so he used to sit in the shade of the tree and thing about his horrible past. One day when he was looking to the tree, he noticed that the tree is giving shade to the people. He thought that even though it was not given any human characteristics, it is working. He thought about his dream to become an artist and he asked himself a question “why can’t I be it” and he started drawing the tree, the school and the nature. And one fine day a man saw his work and was amazed by his drawing, he was a talented artist and gave him free study to learn art in a higher level, and after some years he became a good artist and  he was known by all the people . He remembered how he became an artist and started crying.

Sky is the limit

 

It is a fruitful life but not a life of rudeness,

Everything is possible, nothing is impossible

It is not hard, but easy

If you try, you will gain it

No sadness, no tensions,

But a life of happiness

Touching the sky is hard

But being irritated is easy

Impossible means I’m possible,

Then what is not possible in the world

Richness and good appearance are not needed

But a good heart, which can work is needed,

Gain it and be happy
