But could do none.


For, the flight which was about

To land safely,


Had a lurch and fell, unfortunately...

It was a hideous fall and was


Out of sight.

And the people waiting there,


Were filled with fright.


The aeroplane cracked

In between like a crescent.


But before the explosion about

Seven or eight,


Whom God wished to save,

Their lives,


Escaped from the mouth of death.

But what about the others?

The scorching flame has been so terrifying,


That the place turned into a hearth...

All those things were unimaginable!!!


To this the people who were

Waiting for their dear ones,


Felt disappointed and tears started

Rolling down their eyes.


And what could they ever do?


Just pray.




God has done everything and

Takes back whenever he wants to.


And all this is according to our destiny.

Though they had to suffer a lot


Of pain,

There is something that they will gain,

Those who believed in God,


And lived according to His commands,

Are definitely going to enter heaven.


And will get the reward of

Martyr.

DEAR SOULMATE


Dearest best friend,

We were like inseparable two,


But suddenly everything went wrong,

& now I terribly miss you,


I know things didn't go right,

But that didn‘t mean I would cease to be by your

side.




The bond that stood firm in all the ups and
downs,


Smiles and frowns,

Fun and frustration,


Closeness and distance,

I really miss it.


I know the situations were unfair,

But with you, I was still there,


Why did you let frustrations take over,

And end our friendship like a simple


Game - over...




I‘m hurt, you too are, I know

But with each other, out of the pain, we can go


Can we just forget all that happened


And just rebuild our bond stronger,

Because I really miss you, I need you!




If you've seen me happy, then know there is so
much pain behind that smile,


It terribly hurts to be away from you,


It hurts when I know that I can't sit by your side

and talk for a while.

So, please let go off all the things and just be
there for me

Like you've always been there.


I don‘t know how to convince you,


But all I can say is

You are important and really special to me...


***

REAL FRIENDS MEND THINGS


Dear soulmate,

It‘s really sad that today we are separated,


Is all this the harshness of the time,

Or simply our fate?




Best friends are meant to be together,


No matter what, stand by each other,


Ups and downs may come,

But friendship is meant to last forever.




A little misunderstanding,


Unwanted ill-feelings will surely come our way,

But real friends mend these things and get back

to each other

at the end of the day.

A LIE I LIVED ON


These tears in my eyes,

Are because you made me live in lies.


I trusted every word you said,

Being unaware that all your promises were dead.




I saw those dreams in which you were with me,


But now I realize: it's never going to be...


You built the mountain of hopes in front of me,

And threw me down from there,


And simply let me be.




What was the need for building those castles in
the air,


When living there isn't a thing about which you
care?

Now I am broken and left with tears...


I may move on, but the pain you gave me will
last for years...

AN INCOMPLETE SILENCE


She said: "One day to go!"

He asked: "So?"


She wanted to say: "Dear it's your birthday",

But she didn't.


Silence spoke, she was quiet.




He knew it was his birthday,


But thought, for her it wouldn't be a special day,

Because he had hurt her,


By treating her love for him as a simple play.

He assumed that she may have begun to hate
him,


But he wasn't right.




As his thoughts rewind,

That tearful night of hers was back in his mind.


It was the time he said love goodbye,

He ended their relationship because his love was
a lie.


Her love for him was true,


This hardcore truth he knew,

But his wasn't and he could pretend no more.


All he could do was to bring their story to an
end.

COMEBACK OF MEMORIES


Amidst my busy work,

I pause for a while,


There are some old memories,

And it has flashed back in my mind.




Years have passed, the time has fled,


In your mind those memories are dead.


Cause time spent with you was very few,

And it didn't mean much to you.


But for me, all those minutes, seconds come
back,

And re-tell the story and keep those old times


Still new.


I can still feel your loving touch,

I can still see your smile.

I can hear your voice,


Overhear our unending talks.




I am lost in your memory,

Wondering if it was only a read story,


If it was a reality,

Then today why are you not with me..







TEARS

Tears flow down with a million emotions


Bursting out pain and frustrations.

Empty of words,


Silence filled with agony and fury,


Flushing out those unexpressed wounds,

That the heart can no more carry.

PAST


Living in the present,

Yet mentally reliving the past.


Trying to convince the mind that "it's all over",

But failing to understand that memories last.


***

I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU


I don't know if you are fine or not,


But the question is, do I need to know?

We have parted ways,


But I'm still care about how good are your days.




When at times, your status and display picture
says you aren't happy,


I feel like asking you "Why?"

Then I wonder: "why should I?"

Is it because I'm simply interested to know about
you or is it because I still care for you?




You shut the door of your life for me,


Now am I expected to peep through the
window?


Will my attempt to know your whereabouts,


End up being a zero in your counts?




Do I need to care for you?

Does my heart need to have a soft corner for
you?


The world says: "Move on and grow up",


And the stronger part of my mind says: "Just
don't care!"




I'm broken, it's true,

But I'm still!


The world teaches how to be rude,

But I never will.




This is the complexity of "Care and don't care",


Sounds confusing, yet amazing,

Because even after you gave my heart the

unbearable pain

It has healed all over again.




My heart now knows how to care,


To love again, it will never dare.

This is the truth it wants to tell you:


"If you feel lonely and you are in need of
someone,


And the world doesn't seem to be on your side,

Just call out to me,


And I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU".

LONELINESS

Loneliness is destruction,


Poisonous is its reaction,

Because it causes


Loss of hope on any kind of relation.

PART - 8




She





When it comes to love and compassion,


She is a tender flower.

At the blow of winds of problem,


She is a firm deep-rooted mighty tree.



"WE" FOR WOMEN


A treasure born so pure,

Later becomes prey to men's lure.


"SHE" is defined as "a blessing", "a Light",

Then why does she have to live her life with

pain and fright?




The best of creation,

Is on great destruction.


Her blood and tears go unnoticed,

Her prayers to humanity are just dismissed.




Why is she taken for granted


When the world has grown from her womb?


Oh, the humanity, you call her "a mother",

Then why does she have to suffer from her
cradle to her tomb?




Oh, the humanity, you say: "We will make this

world a better place".

How will you do it when "we" of the world are

neglected?

How will you make the world brighter,


When "she" is made to suffer in the dark?

"WOMEN" are the important aspect of "we",


Oh, man, where will you go without her?

Can you imagine a world without her?


No! You can‘t!


Deep down your heart,

You know "SHE" is the WORLD,


And a precious treasure to be protected.

Uphold her dignity,


Stain not her purity,

Treat her not like a commodity,


Because when you value and save HER,

You save HUMANITY...


***

SHE – THE BEST BLESSING FROM
ABOVE


Even when pain sings in her breath,

She smiles so beautifully, that's her strength.


Even when her own world is falling apart,


She carefully tries to fix back your broken heart.




Even when hopelessness flows through her
blood,


It‘s only the message of hope and faith she will
spread,

Even when there is darkness in her life,


She will light yours and pick you up from
struggle and strive.

She is strong,


She can stand still even when everything goes
wrong.

She is powerful,


She can rock, rule and still be graceful.




"She" owns the fountain of patience,


The mountain of sacrifice,

The rain of love,


And is definitely the best blessing from above.

***

IS SHE REALLY LOST?


She is an internal chaos,

Peacefully portraying herself.


A restless mind,

With a calm smile.




She knows her destination,


And the road to it.


But somewhere she is lost,

Finding herself.


Being present to all who need her,

Now she is absent to her own soul's calling.


Unaware of what could heal her,

Distinct was the meaning of life earlier,


But now that has become a blur.

Did she reach out to the world a little more?


Or a lot more that she has forgotten herself?

Was it the pain of the betrayals,


Or was it those too many unattainable dreams?

Was it her unappreciated presence in others'

lives,

Or was it simply her state of mind?


Is she really lost?

***

HER REAL SELF


She dances like a dancer,

Sings like a singer,


Speaks like an orator,

But only in front of the mirror...


She is confident,

She is spectacular,


She no less than brilliant,


But only in front of the mirror...




Does the mirror instil courage in her?

Does the mirror make her feel strong?


Does the mirror hide her flaws?

Does the mirror not tell her when she is wrong?

It's just that the reflection in the mirror smiles
back at her,


Accepts the way she is,

Never prejudicial,


Unlike the world outside, in front of the mirror,
she can be her real self,


Without any fear...


***

STRONG


She is a strong girl.

Little things hurt her,


Break her apart.

But nothing ever stops her,


She will wipe her own tears,

And be her own light,


When the world seems dark.




She may be walking alone, but she isn't lonely,


Her dreams are accompanying her,

Her goals are waiting for her.


Her passion keeps her going...

She has a strong mind that picks her up every

time she falls.

And a heart that keeps her happy!

HOME

A heaven for the heart...



MANGALORE


Not very large, not very small,

But definitely the most amazing city of all.


Decorated with the head held high coconut trees,

Scented by the seaside breeze.




This city is named after the Mangaladevi deity,


The mighty roaring Arabian Sea adds to its
enchanting beauty,


Sheltered by the western ghats in the east,

This serene city unitedly celebrates Christmas,

Eid, Diwali, car festival and every other feast.




It has always been a cosmopolitan,

A hub for education,


With clean and green locality,

It has been considered to be a smart city.




The yummy seafood,


And ice creams that taste so good,

A home for cashews,


This city offers you a variety of everything you
choose!




You can call it Mangaluru, Kudla, Tulunad or

Maikala,

This city is a lap for exclusive cultures and
traditions like Yakshakagana, Konkatta, and

Kambala.

This little land is blessed with royalty and

grandeur,

It has given birth to great men and many great

stories will soon emerge from here!

***

SECOND HOME


A canopy of trees,

Positivity engulfed in the breeze,


It stands in the remote with utmost grace,

For umpteen trees, it's a home place.


Adorned with the chirping of the birds,

The hustle of the leaves,


The swinging of the trees,


And the sweet resonance of the breeze.




It's a hub of mystical beauty,

Bound by honour and legacy.


Lived there the men of aristocracy,

Just the sight of it fills one with ecstasy!!!

The royal cottage stands there,


With its rustic looks, a beauty so rare.

A gift of lineage,


The unearthed treasure called

JUDGES COTTAGE

PART - 10







RIGHTS AND FREEDOM



Free yourself from the chain of insecurities,

break all the barriers and be boundless.



Ask yourself should those rapists even be given
a chance of a single breath?


***

Oh, so-called "man",


Was the need to fulfil your evil temptation,


So great that you heartlessly snatched away a
beautiful & innocent soul?


Was your lust greater than the innocent's life?

Did your heart not cry seeing the little babe die?


Did your consciousness not call you a demon?

Did you not know your actions will not just
destroy life but also leave many hearts crying?


Where are your morals?


Your act was ruthless! You are shameless!

Oh, the humanity, let not this act go in silence!


***

IT’S YOUR RIGHTS, LIVE WITH

FREEDOM

Let every baby breathe,

Oh, humanity, every breath is a right.


Let the child begin to play with A, B, C,


For education alone can bring the day out of the
night.


Let dignity be life‘s true essence,

Lacking it will drown one in plight.


Let no devil give the angle the taste of exploit.

Let the world listen to everyone‘s voice,


The silence was never a choice.

Everyone can sing, everyone can dance,


Nobody has the right to take away this chance.

Let man work, but deny not his rest.


God has given life,

But oh, humanity, it's in your hands to make it
the worst or the best.




Dear dignified man,


Let no man be your slave.


Who are you to take away his freedom?

Have you forgotten you are his equal?


Rich or poor, in the end, both your abode is in
the grave.


Let every man smile.

Is his smile bringing you tears?


The world is a secular place,

So be not a cause of anybody‘s fears.

Oh, humanity, kill not a baby girl,


Someday she too will be a mother who will give
life to someone like you.

Think of the day your mother was born,


If she hadn't been given a chance to see the
world,


She wouldn‘t have given birth to you.




Prostrate to the one whom you believe,


Worship the worthy.

My way of worships, my culture and tradition
may vary,


But nowhere my way of life nor yours is told to
be a sin!
