SOMETHING I LOOK AT-7

I have seen

Eyes and eyes

But not a single pair of eyes

Has so much in it

The eyes

That can never see me

Sad and gloomy

Melancholic and apathetic

The eyes

That can ever see anything

Wrong and ugly in me

And never cherishes something

More beautiful and enchanting

A contented pair of eyes

That never fancies

Anything for itself

Never complains and desires

For it opens and closes

And sees the world

Through me and me only

It is an ocean

Of love and sacrifice

The more

I dive into it

The more

I loose myself

And become one with it.

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-8

Listen to the symphony

It is raining and raining

In the distant forest

Hear the music of life

Never stay in the past

And live in the present

Look at the orchid

In the terrace

Dancing and dancing

In anticipation

Of something to come by

The coll breeze

Is coming across

Signalling the arrival

Of monsoon in your life

Be ready to greet it

With all your heart

Rain is coming

With all its colours

It will rain and rain

For it has not rained

Since long

Smell the flavor

Of moist soil and

Dance in the pears of shower

Leave the past in oblivion

And have the present

Which is all ours

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-14

Give me the smile

I will return you

The moments

Once you cherished

And  longed for

Give me the touch

I will take you

To that land of wonders

Where you will find non

But me and me only

Give me that feeling

I will give wings

To the dreams

Once you dreamt

But remained unrealised

Get up

Never say

Gone are the days

Never say

It is all over

Or else

We will miss the bus

Once again

You have it in you

I have it in me

Let us search for

That lost paradise

And look at life

Through a pair of

Young eyes
