forgetting and forgiving

when we have the heart to forget those who made us smile

why don't we have the heart to forgive those who made us cry.

If I am liked/loved it should be for what I am or I am not, be it in goodness, attitude etc and not just because I happen to be better than someone not so good. (in comparison)

There is a marked difference in the love and affection shown by the people from the different ends of the umbilical cord.

Supernatural beings and superstitions, I don’t believe in them. Hmmm but I sure don’t have the courage to openly state my feelings or views. What if it is heard by them and they come out to get me or something evil strikes me.

just listen

All that people want is a listening board. A listening board that listens with rapt attention and responds with remarks like - oh really good…… that is wonderful……..you are amazing etc. when something positive is told. And - oh my god.....why did that happen to you.....oh you poor little thing…. I know you are not at fault....why should life be so cruel to you etc. when something negative or sad is told. But remember, something to this effect is only to be responded. Think before you decide to give suggestions/solutions/advice that do seem reasonable. Remember you are only needed as a listening board and not an advising board.

A random thought

I have a right to my thoughts. They may be good, they may not. They may be right, they may not. If my thoughts are not right or good, then I have the option of either understanding where it is not right and correcting it. I also have the option of accepting suggestions given by near and dear ones and correcting. I also have the option of just leaving the topic.

If my thoughts are right and good, I could share them with my near and dear ones. But it should be left to them to accept or not. I should not thrust it down their throat just because I feel it right or good.

I should remember that what is right and good for me need not necessarily be the same for others. I should give them their living space...and not live life for them.

(The word “I” usually implies a feeling of ego in a person. But here I felt it better to use the word to teach myself a lesson.)

Strange it is if the value and popularity

of an individual is assessed

by the number of people who pays a visit

Fear of Death

Fear of Death

I realised it is not facing death as such that creates panic in our hearts. It is the trauma and pain that we might have to undergo physically and/or mentally that creates panic and fear in our heart and mind to the extent of not wanting to face death at all. But ultimately we have to face it no matter what..

Thoughts

This poem is from Ajit Peter. I just love the way words flow out in his poems...

in a jiffy the poem is in his heart and mind and down in a paper........

I have a keen desire to write poems with a similar touch.....

the flow...the lyrics...and the beauty

Thoughts

in a drop of tear a world to see

in a drop of rain joy to be

in a tick of a clock eternity

in a single cell life to be

in a touch of feather hearts be shy

in a single word the spirits to fly

in one friend a world to see

in a wink of an eye love to be

in a ray of sunshine warmth in heart
in stars twinkle joy be got

in a single flower love to tell

in a smile to cast a spell

a drop of joy

a drop of tear

a simple smile

a simple wink

a grain of sand

little in the world

yet a lifetime of thoughts

there is many a slip
between the heart and the lip....
we want to say something, but feel it not right
so as not to offend others and bring them in a dim light
but we have no control about what is in heart
since the truth emits like dart
later we make excuses by way of saying
hold it dear, don't take the wrong meaning
that was not what my heart did hold
there was an error in the way it is told.
