Listening to my heart

One day I was sitting alone,

Listening to my heart’s tone,

trying to understand why it wants,

something that is already gone,

or something that is not mine,

atleast for now, till it is time...

My heart says it knows it has so much,

More than the poor man’s luck,

But then that is missing,

that thing, hey are you listening?

Yes I am oh my dear heart,

Everything I do has your mark...

So yes then, I want that,

I know it could make me sad,

but it is like the sun that brings light,

To the weakness and might,

For a sight of it people pray,

but for that i know it burns everyday,

so much that if I come close to it,

I wouldnt last even for a minute...

or it could be like that missing piece,

from my life, that could bring me peace,

complete my life, and make it perfect,

but i think if i haven’t done enough to earn it...

so scared of it going away from my life,

that i almost never try...

Oh my heart, you are so naive,

To achieve something you have to strive,

Whenever you are sad or weak,

Listen to your heart speak...

It may tell you to do something difficult,

but whatever be the result,

until you live each second like a freefall,

you wont ever live afterall

The Lotus

So I saw you again today,

I wonder if you could hear me pray.

Pray for you to see me once,

Just once like for months,

or years or lifetimes, 

we have been unable to find, 

each other even though we were,

not far, right at the curb...

Just one glance from you,

Oh the magic it can do...

give me the strength,

to live this life till end.

Or even die with happiness,

That my presence didn't go unnoticed...

So it seems I will have to wait for you,

Even though patience is not my virtue,

I will wait...

Because I know one day,

One day, this existence of mine,

Even if for many births has cried...

Will eventually be with you my love,

In this world full of mucky mud,

The lotus will grow so beautifully,

That the world around us will shine brightly,

As bright as the Thousand Suns, 

Yes that my dear is the strength of this power unheard...
