Timeless

TIMELESS SOJOURN

This is our conversation,
A garden of exchanging colors.
We do not pluck the flower of our desire
And let it bloom.
We melt like glaciers and flow like the river
Still, we have our stay.
We will share our say.
When love knocks
We can retire in peace
For, love happens uninvitedly.
We met in one supreme time
The memories keep flowering
Like a soothing sail
The waves carry our message of love
And reach the shore.
The fruits of symphony
Spread seeds of melody
Our love is a spontaneity
Its rhyme is a forever green timeless sojourn. 

 

 

 

 

ADMIRATION
 
What life gives is less important
Than what you give to life.
The rich philosophy to live
Is an outlook if you can take it.
My words describe,
They bleed like blood and
Wash like the consoling stream.
Appreciation teaches a lesson;
It is a guru of immortality.
Once you appreciate anything
It lives for ages without any sin.
Pure and filled with vigor,
House a change and lay the ground work.
What a blooming garden needs is a stroll
And an admiration of its flowers.
There is growth in divided time.
Lazy is the abundant luxury
Where concrete thoughts take away
The pleasure of barefoot walk
On the soft dewy morning grass. 

 

 

 

 

CONTINUITY

Even if I am not enlightened
I will stick to the task of discovery.
When I know my neighbours
I will also learn from my enemies.
Tough luck puts me down
I strive to pluck the charm of time.
Teach me reasons
I will choose to smile with the truth instead.
Shade me away from the sunlight
I shall find light within.
I shall burn myself and become an
Incense stick for others.
Tool of worship rings bell
A kind mouth of consolation
Becomes a healing cloth for the victims.
To live is to learn how to survive
Before dreaming the harsh realities
No fear could blow like the storm
And uproot the rocketing determination.
I title my journey as a seeker. 

 

 

 

 

Today’s LittleNip(s):

Never give up on someone. Sometimes the answers you are looking for are the same answers another person is looking for. Two people searching together are always better than one person alone.
