Liberation

I know nothing,
I owe nothing.

I can touch the zenith,
Or dive deep into d ocean.
I can flow with d wind,
Its something like liberation.
I can smile like a child in my sleep,
Shed a few tears and weep.
The pain has subsided.
 The anguish is destroyed.
All I can see,
Is love and thee.

kho gayi hun main..

kho gayi hun kahin,
sapnon ke sheher mein,
zindagi ki dopeher mein.
beh rahi hun kahin ,
kisi anjaan leher pe,
kisi pareshaan neher mein..

Scars (short poem-11 words)

Scars,invisible to kith and kin,
Sometimes devastate your soul within.

Child

Lulled by mothers,
loved by fathers,
a child is always,
adored by others.

As i recollect my past,
and dive into an ocean vast,
You mayn't believe,i envy
- The Younger ME.

Mother

Who is a mother?

A lady in our lives
who,for us,brilliantly strives
without  expectation,
a reward or appreciation.

A helping hand and a guide
who always stands by our side.

A person with an aura feminine
an angel,with powers divine!

A person who is earnest and thoughtful,
serene and dutiful-simply wonderful.
