Since you passed away

                                             Since you passed away (mom)


You enlightened me and my life
supported it and shaped it
the efforts you had put
can never be overlooked
I was connected and linked
like a pearl embedded
I stand bold but cold
against the storm of sorrows
since you passed away.

Tears stopped but my heart bleeds
my conscience rejoices but
my soul is grief-stricken
new memories live but
your memory won’t ever die
the eyes see new wonder but
nothing as appealing as your face
I love but not much
since you passed away.

You gave me birth, my start
into a new world of stranger
and I not less strange than anyone
but you made me feel cozy
and heartless, like I were superman
fed me, cared, loved, comforted me
I am thankful to you
since you passed away

You taught me, not words
but their feel; not to help
but to be kind; not to take revenge
but to forgive; not to memorize
I’ve become wiser
since you passed away
  
I am ashamed to tell but
I hated you when you scolded
cursed you within and
this became worse every day
never wanted you to stay
I now understand you,
I recognize your worth
since you passed away.


I feel bad that it can’t get worse
I am despised and spelled a curse
that I can never get rid of
no matter how hard I try
I bear a burden, of your death
I die every moment now and then
since you passed away.

Tribute to Loss

For all those who have left, For all those who expect to leave, For all those who don't want to leave, And for those who don't want to be left.. To all those times when it rained, To all those times when it was cold, And you expected warmth. And to those times that burnt under the sun. To those who seek purpose, And others who don't give a damn. None is justified and none is wrong. Nothing really is. And not all can be explained. We're the ones who decided the standards, We are the ones who connect, And we are the one who collapse. Nothing is permanent. People leave, they're obliged to. We die, we're destined to. Thing change, they ought to. Time passes by, it is planned to.         - Arpit Kaushal

Love

Have you felt 'love' enough? Probably not, but is there a measure? Full of extremes, crests and troughs, ... But no this doesn't mean a seizure. No, it's not temporary, it's not passion, It is deeper, but yet a child's play. You may be unknow, unaware But yet be the most loving. It is felt, despite cold it warms, Breaks the ice, melts it. Felt, not only when the sun shines, But even when storms torment. It is the shout of the silence, It Conveys through distances, It Transcends material boundaries, It is the language of dead and alive. It is not all human, we're just a part, It is boundless, brave and bold. It is everything you can think, It is in everything you can think. Words are not enough, they never are There is happiness, calm and peace, A sum of moments, experiences, Of emotions, of content, of togetherness. Don't search for it, or for the right one, Because it truly is blind, It doesn't judge or discrimin...

Brute

What is this dark about, pleasant with clouds but more than beauty, tis conspiracy; against me or the world maybe. I fail to trust things anymore. We might have evolved and developed, but the instincts we’re guided by are the animal kind, only gets worse. More you desire, more the monster in you nurtures. I am a rebel, is it any good? Everything’s relative. People are smart and people are dumb, they’re good and they’re bad, they’re selfish and they’re selfish. We’re in this together, we shall develop, as a species, as a person, as a demigod but, not arrogant but more kind, more forgiving, more caring, more loving towards lives! What are we alone? Try living in a cell; fortified with all you ever wished for but, no one to share all that with. Trust me, you’d long for company, right now you don’t! It takes long for her to see that or, she forgets, blinded by the shining glare of desires toils like a bull and becomes ignorant, all goals, purpo...
