YELLOW PAPERS..

2010, sketch

Your reflection in the timeless ink is always a delight
Enchanting is the moments' fervor ecstatical in its might
Let me be a smiling pearl exceptionally in your eye
Let it stay there with utmost care and never let it dry
Oft you sprinkle the silver dust wrapped in golden hues
Words have thy mystic touch when the whole world is blue
.
Prayers offered to the lord with the sound of morning bells
Asking mighty for his grace to bless life in the shells
Petals floating on the water felt in the hearts so far
Embellished dreams in the moonlit nights, guided by the stars
Rivers flow by infinitely within every breath of mine
Sensed as a soul now and again as graces of divine

~~payal~~

Random thoughts..

A calm evening by the sea shore
Soothing music of the waves
Some thoughts of you
Some smiles because of you
Some tears for you
And with your name
My world seems so true..
A few whispers sound like prayers
In sync with the winds
As I cherish thousand of pearls
In your name...

LIFE

Pondering over

The book called life,as it is

Lies somewhere amidst

The dark dense forest itself

Cure for the venomous stings

~~payal~~

We have to come again in the lap of mother earth....in some other body at some other time....Souls destined to be together remain inseperable no matter whatever happens....Life is simple then why do people make their lives so complicated?!?

LETTING GO..

Love is not to let go
not even to hold on
It is an eternal bliss
The ultimate truth
The only reality
That stays with your soul
Forever..
Even after you are gone..
~~payal~~.
People spend half of their lives in regrets, holding on to grudges , blaming others and trying to forget and let go..later they lead their lives repenting doing so!
I am writing about love after a long time..the love that surrounds us as nature ,that is within us as our inherent nature and that makes our spirits float freely..Its good to stop at times, analyse and then move with much ease without feeling the need to let go...!Yes,when love flows freely within us and surrounds us...transformation happens, seasons change and life becomes rhythmic.. Sometimes we don’t know what we want..It’s the lack of clarity that stops us from believing that true love can never be lost.. Its’ eternal.. Love is God and God is within us.. simple as always!:)

PAST (NaiSaiKu)

Past, a part of life..
Can you run away from it?!
You already know!
PAST! A PART OF LIFE..
You already know
Can you run away from it?!
Past, a part of life..
~~payal~~
Even if the past is filled with painful memories and fear, its just a part of our lives..We sit and rewind it ourselves to see it again ..!If we closely look into it..we’ll see our betterment..No “body” is pain free..!By the way,writing serious stuff in NaiSaiKu form is fun!

TIME (acrostic)

Treading on the path with nature sublime
In eternal bliss or covered with slime
Memories engraved , moments rhyme
Exceptional is the power of time

~~payal~~

.

Ever experienced you plan an outing , suddenly you get a call and you have to rush postponing your outing or that you are dying to meet a friend for long but something or the other happens and you can’t meet..Then all of a sudden, one day you receive a call in leisure and both of you decide to meet over a cup of coffee..?!My experiences tell me that if something is destined for us, we at a particular time start working towards it.. Indeed, its just a matter of time..!

SUFFERINGS and CONFUSION..

Just the other day a friend got annoyed with me saying that I am in a habit of suffering..But I personally feel whatever happens in my life..good or bad, takes me a step closer to my-SELF.. God is the goodness of our deeds..HE is within us making us divine..Being God is easy but being human is a tough job…!

.
I suffer because I feel

Feelings keep me human

Being human makes me suffer

All this because I feel?

Or its all because humanity lacks

And humans suffer?

~~payal~~

LOVE..

I have always believed that love is the base of all the relations between individuals as well as their relation with Nature and Divine..We can never see love but can always feel its presence within us and in our surroundings.. a love-filled heart creates heaven out of hell! Love helps us to grow patiently with faith,it makes us more loving,more human..Love connects us in this journey called Life where we all are the travelers..

"From one of my old write"

.

From mother earth

till child birth
Love exists..

Love is god
and
God is love..

.
For God
G overns
Our
Destiny..

Bleeding hearts (Haiku)

 Pink hearts in spring bleeds!

…Die back into dormancy….

In the summer's heat!!
~~payal~~
Nature shows its bleeding heart in form of these beautiful flowers..:)

A BITTER TRUTH

Smiles and laughter

Becomes momentary

When a sudden outburst

Makes them feel guilty

.

Blood ooze out again

From the wounds left sore

In unanswerable quest

They indulge to the core

.

Restless their hearts pound

And the tears roll

With extra burden

On the soul

.

..Stoned…They stand still

To move with wisdom

Oh! Such is this relation

True for some... for rest its illusion!

~~payal~~

P.S. I visited the page "sometimes you forgive people because you still want them in your life"on fb and read this on the wall "Trying To Forget Someone You've Loved Is Like Trying To Remember Someone You've Never Met♥ " Just a thought..what if you have loved someone whom you have never met?Its possible,isn't it?Confused!Would you remember him/her or would you try to forget?!?Complex situation it would be..hence this write..

That day..

I longed to witness that sunshine smile
Alas! It rained heavily all that while

.
I heard the cacophony from the yonder valley
Ashes mixed with sand in blind alley

.
I plunged in the depths of the words brewed
Intoxicated, the substance rests clued

.
I experienced the beauty of the pearls cherished
That shimmered on lids as the lands perished

.
I conquered the fears that grew with time
My path glistened with untamed rhymes

.
Then I witnessed a smile in the golden shades
Flowering breeze cajoled as the spirits swayed
~~payal~~

A Lamenting Insomniac’s Plea….

I wish to sleep tonight…….

.
Exhausted by the enigmatic chores
Of the dreams and hopes
Of the mired slopes
An empty bottle of sleeping pills,
Artificially flavored`
A glowing night lamp on the bed side,
And the silent aura scares me now
.
..Please put me to sleep tonight
Gently caress my hair
Hold my hand and sit beside me
Talk to me for a while
One last time..till the time
I slowly close my eyes

.
Read few words from the yore
Or sing me a lullaby or
Read your favourite bed time story

That you still remember
And put me to sleep

.
I wish to sleep tonight
I wish to rest in peace….

Chimeric Utopia

‘Twas a full moon night, twinkling sight
Sweetness and light, its’ magic was white

Like the sonorous bells of anklets
Was the sound made by the crickets

Unseen was her play and dance
That night he met her all by chance

Beneath the lemon tree
She wished to set him free
Bedazzled by her charms
He lay dead in her arms

Then the chimera screamed…
Ah! a gift of sepia dreams

‘Twas a full moon night, twinkling sight
Now the passion ignite, a burial site..
~~payal~~

Climate changes..

Climate changes..The lakes and the ponds freeze but the fishes do survive in the depths…breathing an aura of the residuals..experiencing the white winters,the chills, even in this humid weather,the thoughts run afar.. leaving me stoned…even though the sun shines bright outside, all needed is its warmth that might act as a tranquilizer..Maybe I am missing….!The winters..(off-course)!

Mirage

Thoughts manipulate in the closed spaces

Sometimes in the circle the mind races

The wild images indeed vivid and clear

Occupies in dusk, in dawn disappear

:

As the maple trees in autumn ablaze

Mystically a spring emerge diluting the haze

But the deep black horses gallops in the backyard

The beclouded aura smells of the vicious card

:

Baffled, the journey ends from where it begins

An eerie stillness with the gabardine of sins

Thus longing for the leaves to open up

Alas! They close again with a mild touch

~~payal~~

Yes,once in a blue moon..I write..

When the mist envelops my whole

And the feelings silently engulf me

A polished pebble then creates

Ripples in the river flowing within me

:

When the life seems distant to me

And the land-slides from beneath my foot

It gives a sudden feel

Of getting lost in the woods...

:

When I find myself trapped

Or at times linked to the unknown strings

Mercilessly when the shades fade

Or when the birds fight fluttering their wings

:

When a crow flies with a twig

Passionately to a nearby tree

When a pearl slides from a grass blade

A thought seeps in with a long story

:

When the sun shines on a cactus flower

I have something to share

I write and rejoice..Life, as it is

Then with ease I walk on air…

:

Yes,once in a blue moon,I write..

खट्टी मीठी ज़िन्दगी के भूले बिसरे पल...

खट्टी मीठी ज़िन्दगी के भूले बिसरे पल
यादों के झरोखे से आज झांकते हैं

:

:

सीने में दबे हुए अनगिनत जज़्बात
वक्त के साथ धुंधले नज़र आते हैं

:

:

ओस में भीगे सीले हुए पत्ते
मोती बन आज आंखों में टिमटिमाते हैं

:

:

सागर में निरंतर उठते ज्वार भाटे
अक्सर साहिल पर आकर शांत हो जाते हैं
~~पायल~~

सुर संग तान मधुर घुले जब..

सुर संग तान मधुर घुले जब
प्रीत अधूरी गीत बन जाये…
धुआं उठे जब आहों से तब
हिमनदी भी पिघली जाए

धरती संग गगन झूमे जब
सागर यूँ हिचकोले खाए
सीने में उठे तूफ़ान तब
जीवन नय्या डूबी जाए

सांझ ढले दिया जले जब
रंज-ओ-ग़म दूर हो जाए
पलकों पर मोती सजे तब
सतरंगी फ़िज़ा में घुल जाए

यादों के गलियारे में जब
तारों की महफ़िल सज जाये
चाहत के मेले लगे तब
दूर कहीं मेघ नीर बरसाए

~~पायल~~

LOST IN DREAMS....

Dreamt in my dream..last night
They walked together side by side
Crossing the orchards and the meadows bright
Through the woods moon played the guide

The abundance of nature and dew drops inspired
They crossed the mountains and reached the stream
It started drizzling when the dark clouds perspired
In the lap of nature was their dream theme

Slowly the pines shimmered and swayed
On a rock they sat hand in hand
Ripples in the water the pebbles made
Time slipped off in between like sand

Soon the silver lining appeared
They felt like heaven in each others embrace
The halo of the silence persevered
Over the bridge shined the rainbows’ grace

Exotic flowers blossomed delicately
Swiftly and softly with the breeze
Marigold,Pansies,Daisies and Lilies
Caressed the souls and the moment ceased..

They noticed not the changing seasons

Maple leaves with smashed prism
Parallel lives in different directions
Made them realize now it was autumn..

I woke up in my dream ..last night
And tried to push that dream aside
I saw two hearts sparkling bright
But they were no more side by side
~~payal~~

A MIDWAY

In a relation where two people are involved
The grief and sorrows should be mutually resolved
People don’t know the depth in your relation
Have they cared for any of your emotion?
Don’t hesitate you’ll find some solution
For the relation was your own creation
To deal with the upsets you run to seek aid
But don’t forget its your life that fades
People might console you and wash your brain
Ruthlessly injecting venom in your veins
Mutually compromise, give it a try..
When you trust why to regret and cry?
At the end its’ just you who’ll suffer
If you let go of a relation life shall be rougher..
For few good souls touch your heart
Then why to blame and why to part?
~~payal~~
