IN CHILDHOOD

In childhood

I use to pass by your grave everyday

with an hope

to be blessed by you

with a desire

to see you in some way

But at this stage of my life

I firm believe that

You were, you are

always with me

in all my hopes,

desires and aspirations

in all the struggles of my life

in all my pains and miseries

in all my ups and down of life

This belief I continue to cherish

till the end of my life

and my trust in you

will never fade

whatever the situation may be.

DOES LOVE EXIST?

In its purest form

In this materialistic world,

Where loyalty and sincerity

Is fading day by day~

If the answer is yes,

Then why it is not visible?

When somebody needs it?

Or it has some terms and conditions

To be fulfilled~

Shamenaz@

EGOS ARE FRAGILE

Egos are fragile

Often leading to catastrophe

In friendships and in relationships

We try to imbibe it

Making our self-obliged to it~

For too long

I have been depended my wills

On the affirmation of others

But what I examine

That whatever I tried

It’s all in vain~

Sometimes I tried to please myself

Sometimes my audience

By winning them over

Again and again in various terms

But this has plagued me for years

Or will do the same in future

So, better give it up~
