Elders and friends

I was reminded often
By elders and friends even
Don't choose unknown path
And never dive in deep water for bath

I used to feel bad about untimely advice
As it was not needed to keep up the promises
Who knew and what may be needed for action?
I accepted in principle but reserved reaction

For all these years I had grown under protective custody
I had kind parent, brothers, sisters and above all powerful almighty
Yet something pinched me and reminded all the times
Where was I heading for in aimless direction sometimes?

I went in search for the solution
It struck mind with internal resolution
Life is not meant for eating and passing time
It has to have some meaning all the times

I sat on railway track and continued
Until arrival of train broke the chain and discontinued
I witnessed the passing of train with thick smoke in air
Suddenly it struck me with the solution and it seemed fair

The last wagon was becoming smaller and smaller
Until it disappeared in horizon little later
I could trace only two tracks for observation
They were all meant for me to find out real situation

Yes life is full of good and bad tracks
That can never meet even if something is at stake
One can pass on single track for fulfillment of mission
One should be clearly choose between emission or omission

Life has to disintegrate in specified but uncertain terms
No one knows about it or when may be actual turn?
It is all that we forecast and leave it to the fate
Pray daily for it to be smooth soon or late

I have felt full satisfaction
As there is no doubt for any of the action
It is individual's choice
To keep self ready without any noise

Gazing suicides

I thought of dying today
Gazing down to the train track below
So shiny and black.

I heard the tracks calling me to join them below.
I heard them say if you want to jump
Then jump go on just jump.

I though I'd chuck myself away
Thought I'd fall below
To the train tracks underneath.

I thought it through and through.
With nothing else left to do
I let the train tracks call me below.

I ve sufferd enough in this evil world
Theres to much evil that lurks.
The world is a sain place for some.
It wasnt for me
I lived a life full of pain.

Things got to much
So I listened to the tracks below me
I knew it made sense for me.

I took the plunge
And I jumped down to the tracks below me
As I fall
I will die below

Things are meant for some
And this was meant for me
The train tracks told me so

Take as Challenge

I have spent sleepless nights
To find solution and answers very right
Each time I tried for its way out
I was finding it fruitless and all about

Why at all life was to be taken as challenge
After all we need square meal and manage
Rest everything was out of reach
As people reminded me and tried to preach

I am now scared to share
As I find no place to go near
How I would try to go somewhere
If that leads me to land no where

I thought to end life with no way open
Such ideas may creep in mind all of sudden
I had not known the full potential
As life would be really proving substantial

What is there to stare at sky?
Mind think uselessly about its hollowness and fly
No usefulness can be attained with doubtful mind
It must adapt to the situation and arty to find

What we are looking for in life to carry out mission?
Is it meant for eating and spending time with confusion?
Is there anything to do other than to think endlessly?
Or come in terms with real life and spend it happily

We may breathe as long it is granted by almighty
Nobody is allowed to end it for the fear of poverty
Many more hurdles can make life miserable
Here it may be seen as real danger with trouble

It will be cowardice act if life is ended in failure
On the contrary, steps would have been take n to make it sure
No one here is so sure about his life game
One must live it lavishly with forceful claim

Heat And Ice Could Together Dwell

I may come to feel it but never come to say,
How others feel about what I do...
They have a choice to accept or refuse,
If they choose.

And that depends on what is done.
And if it is done with an intent.
If I am responding to a specific action,
Then what I choose to do is direct and meant.

Oh I can be arrogant and I can be rude.
I can be tempermental and give attitude too.
I can be distant and be cold as hell.
Even though I've never understood how heat and ice,
Could together dwell.

And that depends on what is done.
And if it is done with an intent.
If I am responding to a specific action,
Then what I choose to do is direct and meant.

I may come to feel it but never come to say,
How others feel about what I do...
They have a choice to accept or refuse,
If they choose.

But when I'm pushed to the limit I can freeze and steam.
With a melting to eventually thaw,
To become someone's manipulated putty!
Showing a protective crust although within a soften dough.
And I hate it when its known I just puff to blow smoke.

As Soon As The Good Times Roll

Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics: klaus meine
If you feel real sad somtimes
Caught in bad vibrations
And it seems youve lost your drive
And your destination
If you feel that lifes passing by, passing by
Catch the train of better times
Rock tonight
Hard times go
As soon as the good times roll
Hard times go
As soon as the good times roll
If you feel that all your life
Is packed with complications
And almost everything you try
Ends up in new frustrations
If you feel that lifes passing by, passing by
Catch the train of better times
Rock tonight
Hard times go
As soon as the good times roll
Hard times go
As soon as the good times roll

A divergent path

Two roads meet at four cross roads
We are in the midst of it with enough loads
They may be passing through thick woods
All dangerous with not enough foods

We may feel sorry later not to choose the correct path
You may think calmly while taking bath
at the time of choosing option you have no time left
It may take you to the right or left

The road is wide open and it is for you to choose
You have everything to gain and nothing to loose
Still the choice may matter most in gaining the ground
You may feel sorry when nothing is actually found

You may cut sorry figure with lots of despair
The atmosphere may look heavy with no movement in air
You may wish and think that you had better option to choose
The sorry state of affairs had altered everything to loose

You can’t go in all the directions and prefer solid action
You may stick to your views with no more, reactions
You may prefer to do as much as you can do
It may not allow you to have way and pass through

You may prove as strange traveler
You have killer’s instinct and nose works as inhaler
You may be warned of danger lurking by
You may go in for it with powerful try

The world has changed a lot
Many wars have been fought
Peace and harmony is always sought
Still we are in dilemma and simply caught

I stood motionless on the road with confusion
Nothing was leading me with fresh infusion
It was double state of mind with no useful purpose
I had no other reason to go for it or suppose

the chances looked vary fair even if I erred
They will be addressed later and cared
What was most import that bothered me much?
I had never ventured in to land a such

I looked calm with composure
I was ready for dangerous exposure
Nothing was appealing but I was very much sure
I had the reason to feel relieved with fine cure

I was not simply passing there
I knew how to find it and where?
It may not look bright and promising
There was certainly something missing
i
For me all the roads equally lay
I could leave mark for another day
I was determined to find it anyway
Though I had no option for assertive say

Dixie Flyer

(Susan Longacre/Jim Photoglo/Russell Smith)
Well the first thing I remember is the smell of burnin' cinders
And the sound of that old whistle on the wind
I always wondered where the train was going
But I never cared at all where it had been
Yeah the first chance I got, I was gone like a shot
Following that old dream of mine
My only desire was to catch that flyer
And ride it to the end of the line
My life is like a Dixie Flyer
She don't ever look back
So pour on the coal
Let the good times roll
Till the train runs out of track
Full speed ahead no I ain't stoppin' yet
I feel that drivin' wheel down in my soul
I been some places where the train don't stop
Some places where the train don't even go
Yeah some are satisfied just to sit on the side
And watch as the trains roll by
That ain't me, there's too much to see
Gonna roll until the day that I die
My life is like a Dixie Flyer
She don't ever look back
So pour on the coal
Let the good times roll
Till the train runs out of track
Till the train runs out of track
Till the train runs out of track

Top Of The World

If you ask sincerely about my wish
I would certainly say that I wish the day to finish
With whatever I could do for livelihood
Whether with means clearly understood or not

'Hello dear good night and happy sweet dreams'
Sun may slowly disappear and end its rays beam
Dead night may slowly approach with calm and peace
Nothing to think about and finally relax at ease

I love to be in the arms of sweet dream queen
Even though I daily wait for sun to end soon
So as to reach with no worries and get lost
No extra amount to pay and absolutely at no cost

This is only arena where no one restricts
No order of any such kind emerges or instructs
You are the master and can choose any one you like
No worry lines or unhappiness ever strikes

I will find my self on big bed with rose petals
With all beautiful attendants ready to serve on arrival
I shall look at them with pride and satisfaction
Any one could think of me as foolish person in action

I have thought number of times about such tendency
Why do we rely upon unreality and try to deny?
Bare and naked fact that hunts us through out
We then take refuge in dreams and talk nothing about

It is nice to have dreams and feel top of the world
It is equally good to rule over domain and remain in fold
Yet some of the matters need solution in day time
Nights are only meant to relax not to work over time

Next day I would laugh it out as mere repetition
About sequences that I had faced as burning questions
Here I was ruling as single man and taking fast decisions
Where as in real life I remained inactive with confusion

We have no control over night as it 'no more' syndrome
You are actually dead in silence and gone
Everything is taking place in dead mind
Where person enjoys and never fears to find

Tomorrow is not another day

If tomorrow never comes
What would you do today
That you didn't do yesterday?
Would you talk to your neighbours?
Smile and say ‘hello' to passing strangers?
Give blood so someone will live and not die?
Cook something special like a plum and apple pie?
Say a prayer hoping someone would listen?
Clean the windows until they glisten?
My answer would be no - why?

If I knew life were to end and that was the world's fate
There would be no reason to either love or hate
Instead I would look at myself from within
And try to search feelings of those without sin
Leave my windows open to let the sun and air pass through
Look up at the sky and say ‘wonderful, it's beautiful'
Try not to worry that the end is nigh
So I've answered my question of ‘why'.

Why? Because we're all living the same dream
Pretending life is better - or so it would seem
Life is complicated without answer as to why we're here
Seldom do we wonder and even less shed a tear
For ‘life is for living' we frequently hear our friends say
Instead our lives are the same day after day
But to bring change and head in a different direction
May be is the only solution to our salvation
So, unless we see beyond the reaches of our mind
And break free from religious shackles that bind
We must, in order to save the world, sacrifice our triumphant stand
For if not, Mother Earth will turn into a deserted wasteland
Unable to calm the waters that threaten our shores
Along with earthquakes, hurricanes and storms galore.

Soothsayers may well cry ‘We're all doomed, the day has come'
As life has no real purpose, a product of light from our sun
Therefore we cannot change the fate which we have moulded
Which will cause apocalyptic events soon to be unfolded
Though everything we see and do is important - for me it's you.
Struck, it would seem, by cupid's arrow passing through.
So no matter what troubles may lie ahead
These powerful emotions are not just in my head
For they are ready to explode from somewhere within
And released from the heart in a manner not forgiving
To erupt in a bewilderment of colour
Before what's left is darkness and no other.

Slowly the world will turn to light and life reborn
That will embrace the slow rising of a new dawn
Appreciate and respect its presence here on earth
Try to understand and acknowledge the cycle of rebirth
For infinitesimally small a link are we in the long cosmic chain
Eternal as it may be, we are not. The End.

Gazing suicide

I went to the train tracks.
I sat on the bridge above.
My life has beaten me.

As I looked down below me.
I saw the tracks before my eyes.
So shiny and black.

My troubles.
My hurt.
And years of pain.
They had gotten the better of me.
It all became clear and I knew what I had to do.

I had to join the train tracks below me
I had to die

A time and wounds

Time and wounds heal with passage
This is important and very good message
We can run the life the smoothly and manage
This wisdom can come only with the age

Life is not smooth journey
It has to be spent with good company
Family and friends may stand by and accompany
it may pass of peacefully and smoothly

we have witnessed many ups and down
little set back make us upset and frown
Generally we tend to take it as challenge
We extract some benefit and mileage

We die and survive each moment
There is constant improvement and movement
We seek good passage one after another
Many times we escape unhurt by flicker

Life is to be considered as passing phase
It must be lead with curiosity and at ease
If it is spent in luxury then we may not know
Many challenges even if given or thrown

The long struggle has worn us out
We may be phasing compete rout
We will find no way coming through
This is test of time and very true

I would still appreciate and stand
For putting brave front and keeping the trend
As life is just beginning and not the end
There is always scope for improvement or to mend

There has to be clear emphasis
This must for very good basis
The time may emerge with thin phase
We must be aware and ready to win the race

You may sail through and reach the shore
You must have forsight and vision to explore
You must have appetite for more and more
This is how life is to be understood and stand for

You must have clear goal and ideal
It should be looked upon as real
There is no alternative or short cut
Best efforts have to be put

The river path is not created I a day
It has taken very long way
She might have dried out before reaching
Still she has not left the path for searching

You may face hurdles or road blocks
The path may develop several cracks
It may look also hazardous and dangerous
It may be countless or numerous

Let it be taken as prime responsibility
We have sense and full ability
It has to be with some purpose and aim
We may be then in position to claim

So let us find some solution
Think surely and pass the resolution
That may ultimately prevail at the end
The world may be liked by us as friend

Life wasn't meant for me

Life is meant for some of us.
But for me it was never meant to be.
That I had always known.
Never did I kid myself that it would be any over way.
I always knew what my fate would be.
It was planned and sealed from the start.

As I hovered over the bridge.
I knew this would be it.
My life was coming to its end.
And I was thankfull.
Becuase I couldnt bare to stay one more day.

As I jumped and hurled myself away.
It was relife not sadness.
My hart was already heavy and sad.
I met the train tracks below me.
With one hard thud,
My body hit the ground.
Only a few seconds left.
Now I am dead.

To those I leave behind please forgive me.
But this was the only way to go.

Today I Had to Forgive Myself (My Life Is Meant to be Lived)

I saw something I had never seen before,
Once I looked beyond my own sorrows.
I lifted my head and saw an open door.
A light was shining through,
To show me tomorrow.
With promises I once wished,
But had not pursued.

I lived with a stagnation...
That came and overstayed,
A temporary reservation...
I made when feeling down,
And knocked out!
Drugged on self debasement.
Feeling nothing could replace...
This empty space within me.

And I knew then...
If I was to walk through that door,
Today I had to forgive myself...
And not let my burdens feel too welcomed.
As I had done countless times before.
Tossing my pain and self doubt about!

They could stay for as long as they wanted!
And entertain grief that came to visit.
But I had no intentions to remain with them,
Sustaining their attention or their comfort.
I kept deep within to repeat again and again.
A hollow search I felt had no end.

My life is meant to be lived.
Not to sit and forget to refresh my perceptions.
My life is meant to be lived.
And when I made up my mind,
I knew I would find...
A release of darkness that would diminish.
Once I allowed my guilt to deplenish,
I prepared to say goodbye to despair!
Knowing to leave that behind me to become fully aware...
My life is meant to be lived.
My life is meant to be lived.
My life...
Is meant to be lived.

Fate to fight

Why think of their death to night?
When you are not sure of your fate to fight
Some what it created little awkwardness
Are we in full capacity to judge on their face?

The talk of reward comes later
Let us be peace lover and not hater
Life as such is totally uncertain
Important thing is to care for relation and maintain

Human life is full of misery
Love it to full extent even for your adversary
Never show to anybody that you are doing it out of pity
Act only to shows that you are just messenger of almighty

Whether life remains same or not should not cause any concern
Anything good performed by you may definitely turn
Your destiny and life into permanent peace
Life may be same again and spent at ease

Bow along with them for mass appeal
Your wish and desire should be in fact real
No lip services or out side show shown to the people
Else it my be known soon and land you in trouble

Let us go to their help if blessed with resources
Internal wishes and conscience must act as divine force
Noble soul with its action is always noticed by all
They see in it a good gesture to respond the call

We all must show sympathy in their troubled days
Pray almighty to come to the rescue and show the way
Render everything if that can over come their woes
Ponder not over result if almighty comes to your help and does

City crowd

We are absolutely unaware of city crowd
So much is spoken about progress and feel proud
It has been felt very comfortable at all the luxury
No one wants to look at city slums and misery

It is mad race to reach at working spot
Everybody is reserved for certain slot
In railway coach also you have space
You are rushing with so many worries on face

Life schedule is very tight
Everybody wants to be perfectly right
There is no room for slight error
Even no time to check the face in mirror

Life has become very fast
No one knows when life will end at last
Whether it will be on the road with accident
Or in the mortuary as unclaimed incidence

It is pure mechanism where human values find no place
You will be lost in crowd without any trace
No one has time to look at and offer kind words
Simple mathematic to earn and just move forward

Not an inch is spared for ground worms
So many times it has been forewarned
Yet we encroach and push others behind
We have only aim for the right place to find

Life is constantly on move and stagnated
The relations are strained alienated
No one has time to review the action
Life is just undone within fraction

We are skeptical about any thing
Life has lost its charm and got no meaning
It may go on endlessly till some solution is found
Life comes in sense and on alert with all the time around

Everything is on sale except sentiments
There is hectic activity and unstoppable movement
No one is in position to waste single second
This is the life and to be lived with same trend

Got To Get It Into My Life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didnt know what I would find there
Another road where maybe i
Could see another kind of mind there
Ooh then I suddenly see you
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didnt run, you didnt lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone, you knew in time
Wed meet again for I had told you
Ooh you were meant to be near me
Ooh and I want you to hear me
Say well be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be
When Im with you I want to stay there
If Im true Ill never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh then I suddenly see you
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Ive got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride
I didnt know what I would find there
Another road where maybe i
Could see another kind of mind there
And suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day...

Position

I can’t move away from my stated position
Though it may be temporary or period of transition
There may arise many more questions
Not to discuss at all or make any mention

How to cope and face the challenges?
How to stand fast and simply manage?
It is no easy task and considered state of art
One may be facing dark but tries to look smart

It is the way to lessen the worry
Nothing can be solved out of hurry
Sometimes you may feel only sorry
Burden and frustration only to carry

Everybody is facing delicate situation in life
Hasty action needed when situation is not rife
All calculations may prove wrong and invite trouble
Calm water may be disturbed with lot of bubbles

Weak may develop cold feet and loose the patience
Winning game may go out of hand in presence
Nothing could be done to retrieve the position
Only strong will power may needed for imposition

What else can be done to avert the show down?
Why can’t we present the smiling face devoid of frown?
It is good to be in complete control of mind
We may be able to think fresh and able to find

Life is full of ups and downs with no solution in sight
Some may go wrong even if seemed very right
We may loose hope and think of bad consequence
Drawing some conclusions with right inferences

It is state of mind that makes us to feel bad or good
Only alert mind can take you out of the wood
How to over come out of it is anybody’s guess
One must be ready with open mind to confess

You may emerge strong as ever before
You will realize what you were trying for?
It will give proof of your stable mind
Ability to come out of it with new ways to find

Never to let your mind to any one else
Let others guess and remain ever tense
This will give you enough room to maneuver
Defuse the crisis and successfully come over

I wish I could adopt the simple theory
Refresh the mind with fresh memory
Easy to find the solutions with open mind
Show always good composure and behavior kind

This is how we overcome and act
No action in haste or simply react
It will complicate the real issue
You may fail to get what is really due

The Circle

From parent and child
to friend to child to parent.
I've grown and reflecting back.
The circle is clear to me.

As a child looking up to them.
Then eye to eye
with the coming of age.
Still I looked up to them.

Many the role my parents played
guiding my course through life.
Their status with me
changing as older I grew.

Entering the world of adults
leaving adolescence behind.
Friends confidants
and equals they became.

When times my needs demanded
support direction advice.
Always they were there.
On my parents I could rely.

Taking my place as a parent.
Their wisdom a well I drew from.
Their strength
became a staff I leaned on.

One day to me
it was suddenly clear.
My path through life
followed the footprints they left.

When came the time
in their autumn years.
For safe haven they looked to me.
Their obligations I realized fulfilled.

It was for me now the time
to carry that load
they had gladly borne.
The circle had come full turn.
