Walked

I walked a league and o'er the moor;
I walked and walked as ne’er before,
And on to walk from dale to hill
And on again to claim the thrill.

Behold! that walking does for me:
The senses heightened, mind of glee,
While rolling vistas pass me by
To swell the hear, enthrall the eye.

What Is Nature

Nature is mighty
Nature is strong
Nature is usually always right
Nature is rarely ever wrong
Nature is beauty
Nature is moody
Nature is smart
Nature always has the greater part
Nature is blue
Nature is green
Nature is every color possibly seen
Nature is true
Nature is beaming
Nature is dreaming
Nature is in every place
Nature is always with grace
Nature is true
Nature is you
Nature is me
Nature will forever be free.

तुम आओ तो सही.........

तुम आओ तो सही.........
मुझे आकर फिर से अपना बनाओ तो सही
में सह लुंगी सारे सितम ज़माने के
तुम मुझे अपना बनाओ तो सही
छू लो मुझे तुम साये की तरह
लिपट जाओ मुझसे झुकी हुई शाख की तरह
गले मेरी रूह को अपने लगाओ तो सही
जिस्म जलता है कतरा कतरा करके
बुझी राख़ सा मुझे बनाओ तो सही
भटकती रहती हूँ, रूह बनकर इस घर मै
अपने जिस्म के घर में मुझे बसाओ तो सही
साथ चल दो तुम, बस कदम दो कदम
मंजिल की किसे फिक्र है
तुम दीवारों को ही सही
मेरा घर बनाओ तो सही
खामोश तुम भी हो
अक्सर खामोश मैं भी रह जाती हूँ
आज चंद लफ्जो से मेरे गीत को
मेरे साथ गुनगुनाओ तो सही!

Without You

I HATE being patient, but I’ve got more of it than anyone else I know

I HATE having to put my self aside for something else, but I care enough to do it

I find myself filled with a lot of that lately... this… Hate…

It sounds so weird to say it out loud… Hate…. It doesn’t have a nice feeling.

I HATE

It’s just not me.

It’s not how I want to be.

It doesn’t sound right coming out of my mouth.

It doesn’t sound right swirling through my head

why is it that I find myself constantly forcing that word out of my head.

I hate that…

there it is again,

lately It creeps up on me.

I know what causes it. I’m tired. I’m tired of being patient and putting myself second second for you

I hate you

I don’t hate you.

I hate the power you seem to have over me

I hate that I can’t hate you.

I feel helpless,

The words echo through my head. They echo through the room.

The room

This room.

I hate this room.

The room you so kindly took the time to build for me. the room in my head.

once my sanctuary. – now my enemy.

I hate this room.

I’m forced to sit in this damp windowless room.

there is no way out. Not yet anyways.

I have to wait.

wait - And be patient.

wait…

for you.

The Way I Love You

I never really know how you feel

I can't read your mind

I just keep waiting ...

Take me to your heart

Show me where to start

Let me play the part of your first love.

Oh, I know down deep you love me

But are you ever gonna love me

The way I love you?

The Heaven

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.
