Renewed

I fell into a state of perpetual dismay,
Living through these trials and tribulations,
Watching destruction, suffering and deaths in display,
While others forging hatred in their very visions.

What can one person do to change this place?
To have peace and love conquer our hearts?
For if a single person can create such pain in disgrace,
Might another be able to create a change that can last?

What can I do? What can I say?
How can I make a difference to the indifferent?
Should I just leave it be, or rooted to stay?
Should I just ignore or stand up to this belligerence?

A thought appears from the blankness of the trance,
Growth, evolution of physicality manifest.
What of thought and being, does it expand and advance?
Can we evolve from our beliefs and open ourselves to this test?

Understand the hatred but never let it devour,
Understand the anger and let it not consume,
I shall start small in kindness and let go the need of power,
Only then, the power becomes true.

 Within us, every emotion and destination lies,
This reality, ever changing to our surprise,
For this, empathy and kindness will be my device,
The World can only change if we see through renewed eyes.

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the World. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself"
- Rumi

My Wedding was not Mine

News have broken, Happiness impart, Eyes wide open, Plans have to start, We wanted simple, Small and intimate, Plans start to swivel, Trying to accommodate, Additions of lavish, Prices rocket high, Expectations not managed, Every counter with a sigh, Arrangements are muddled, Breath gets anxious, Organisers clutched and bustle, While our ideas are vanquished, So we step aside, Decided our own side plans, Nodding coincides, Arms down with helping hands, A moment of realisation, That this wedding is never ours, Giving way to our "wise" parents, Protecting an image of theirs, Well this is the tradition, Our "culture" in fact, Bop heads in submission, Keeping love intact, So do what you wish, We just hand over the deposit, Over-choosing every dish, Burning holes in our pocket, Then here the day comes, Nervous but excited, Deafening loud drums, Costumes over budget, Yet smiles are endless, Minds,...

My Suffering

I have been broken, Fractured and sliced, Wounds that tore open, Bruised muscles across my thigh, Heartbreak is much worst, Loneliness that scarred, Tears that seem endless, A hurt that stretched out too far, But this is the ultimate pain, For nothing can describe the torture, A feeling like acid in my veins, Breaking my soul to such a horror, Yet no blood will be spilled,  No tear I can show, No solution will reveal, Not mine, yet I can't let go, Nothing is more painful than to see your suffering, Difficult coming to terms, not being to control everything, But rest assured, through this pain, you'll have my support, No matter what happens, I am here. This is what I can afford, Love, Papa.

Happiness is not Wise

Do you want to know the secret, Of perpetual elation? Where there are no limits, A pleasure with no cessation, One is in always noticing, What is close to our hearts, It could be someone or something, A moment ended or about to start, Know that it’s not a destination, Neither a purpose nor a goal, As happiness is a mere consequence, To a choice we CAN control, A contentment of being, Existing within this vastness, Ever grateful to be living, Then, it’s everywhere to be harness, But happiness is not wise, So choose only when permits, As when all other emotions arise, Each one with its own merits, A grief, a sadness, Make moments more valid, An anger, the madness, Make us wise with knowledge, A surprise to be forever saved, A disgust to show such a violent reality, Fear only teaches us to be brave, Cultivating our soul, invariably, Revel in these emotions, Feel fully and accept, Life, it deserves a d...
