The Poet in Me - 3

The strategy is Hope

When life is not throwing enough Rope,

When things are getting difficult to Cope,

When you don't see assurance afar even in a telescope,

The Slope is too much to Cope,

There is no choice but to walk that tightrope,

People come and Grope, when you are on that Rope,

Have trust in your Pope,

And let your strategy be Hope!

Many names of She

She is mystic, she is magical, She is a dream, she is an idea, She is a mystery, she is a fantacy, She is the Maya of Dil To Pagal Hai, She is the Nandini of Hum Dil De chuke Sanam.

She is near, yet so far...

I close my eyes and I smell her, I feel her...

I open my eyes and I don't see her or touch her.

She is Thridipta, she is Aarohi, she is Vandna, she is Deepanitha, she is Prathima, she is Veronica, she is Sithara, she is Viji, she is Anamika

My Roar

The roar of a wild boar, the roar of the gushing waters. I want to roar, not sure if it's sounding like scream.

Want to feel fearless, not sure if I am seen as a struggler.

Its a victory cry, still not a war cry.

I can feel it running through my veins, it's done, I am in paradise of my own.

I stand in the middle of the Colosseum, up on a stage with arms wide open, head looking up the sky, with screaming audience in front of me.

My Guitar

I am scared to pickup that Guitar.

I am scared of the person I become when I hold that Guitar.

I am scared the music I make with that Guitar will disconnect me from this world.

I am scared the love for the Guitar will shatter my life, my dreams. Those shattered pieces makes lives of people around me difficult.

Yet, I can't live without that Guitar, the love for the Guitar is above everything. Almost every single possible emotion oozes out when I am playing my Guitar.

Each stroke of the strings brings in both pain and joy. Each note I play is a life experience. I play it to be inspired & to inspire.

What's your Guitar?

ತಪ್ಪೆನ್ನುವರ್ಯಾರ್

ತಪ್ಪೆನ್ನುವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಕೇಳುವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ನಿಂತವರ್ಯಾರ್, ನಿಲ್ಲೆನ್ನುವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ಸಾಕೆನ್ನುವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಬೇಕೆನ್ನುವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ಬಲ್ಲವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಬೆಂದವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ಬೇಡುವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಕಾಡುವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ಕರುಣಿಸುವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಕೊಟ್ಟವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಬಿಟ್ಟವರ್ಯಾರ್.

ಕರೆಯುವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಬೆರೆಯುವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ಹೆದರುವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಬೆದರುವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ದೊಡ್ಡವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಚಿಕ್ಕವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ತಿದ್ದುವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಹೇಳುವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ಗೆದ್ಧವರ್ಯಾರ್, ಸೋತವರ್ಯಾರ್,

ಕಂಡವರ್ಯಾರ್.

Selfie with life

I can't explain what I am going through, but I need your help.

I can't describe my problem, still be with me and support me.

If you have trust in me, hold my hands and dive along.

Take a selfie with me, not to look cool, not to display self love, but to take a selfie with life.

Feel my world, feel my pain, feel my happiness.

Don't lose hopes on me, I try, I might fail, but I have it in me to fight back.

I will let you know when I am done fighting, I will let you know when I want to give up, that's when I need you more. This time, to take more selfies with life.
