Clouds Are There to Overcome

Whenever you feel the blue,
Don't let it get to you,
Just fake a smile or two,
And you will surely see it through.

When you're all down and out,
Don't pout, don't doubt,
Life is all about,
Overcoming that cloud!

When rain seems nigh,
Don't you cry, don't you sigh,
Look to the Sky, look on High,
And never ever ask 'Why?'.

Just you keep on a going,
With sincere faith in The Knowing,
Your life will ever be a flowing,
With all His Benevolent Bestowing!

Treachery at Large

I have trodden
On many a treacherous paths,
Though not treacherous--
in the treacherous sense,
Yet treacherous e'er they were.

In thine perilous web..
Thou hath me enthralled,
From mine own true self..
Was I forever stonewalled.

At last! Eyes wide!
I saw of that which was left in hide..
The gleam of youth doth time delay,
The plight of life in molt portray.

Love cures,
Supposing love..
Lasting patience holds.
Many a times..
Likewise..
Love doth not suffice.

On Looking Inward

I look at myself today...
And realize all the gray..
All the long hard strewn flare,
Is showing itself off at bare.
All the joy and the pain...
Intermingled..
and interplayed.

So...I asked this at myself today,
"Have I got a wee to vouch for..
at my narrow self designated way?"

A Teenager's Freedom

Freedom is just a word,
A thing which is only heard.
When Freedom is everything,
Ah, then I’ll have wings.
But don’t you know it’s far?
Don’t you know there’re bars?

Freedom comes only to those,
Who wholeheartedly propose.
And it stays so short,
All I could do is snort.
So why fancy this rot?
When it reaches not!!!

Lingering Ghost

Alas! This lingering Ghost,
Thou canst not so boast!
In thine own self
Truly are thee engrossed,
Neglecting our hearts
Slighting our Innermost.

Through clime and years
Lives lived in fears.
Through storms and calms,
We found our balms.

Ever relenting…
Ever consenting…
And ever condescending...
Yet forever and ever...
...tormenting.

Lend Me..

Lend me a smile
Love me a while
Cast me a spell

Shh Shh...
I won't tell

Make me a promise
That nothing be amiss
Keep me enchanted

Think 'New!'

We talk of improving the circumstances surrounding us yet we are reluctant in improving ourselves; our lives therefore remain stagnant. As a result, we feel bound, restricted and suffocated. We feel like we're trapped in a spinning wheel. The fact of it is...circumstances can and will change. It has to start from ourselves...our thoughts and our actions. We need a new approach in thinking. We need a new outbreak in action. This is the only way to escape from an impasse.

Charade

Charade...what is it for?
Is it to bemuse and ruse?
To best disguise our pain?
Or is it to fool ourselves...
Into thinking, we are alright?

-Thanyarat Komolsingsakul

Enriched (really?)

Promises made
Promises broken

Hopes renewed
Hopes shattered

Smiles regained
Smiles stolen

Life enriched
Coz...

Of Uttered Lies

Fiasco or Great Experience?

It may have seemed to be a fiasco when it rained immediately after our horse riding up to Kufri, Shimla. But it wasn't at all. It was a fun time eating alloo tikki and Maggie noodles, and drinking hot tea from the vendor.

Challenging Tradition by a Very Simple Deed

It's a known and practiced thing in India that you never ever give to the beggars on the streets coz when you do, the whole community of beggars will come swarming at your feet to ask for the same. I defied this tradition and gave a bar of Kit Kat to a little girl. And it was worth it to see the look of pure bliss on her face--chocolates can really cheer a person up, even before actually consuming it.

Fear Is Crap

Fear is crap...
Fear entraps...
Fear is baste...
Do what's chaste...
Cast it off...
Be done with the scoffs!

Keep Me Alive

You brought me back to life,
You showed me what it's like.
I know I would not have survived,
Without you by my side...
So please stay...
And keep me alive.

Let There Be Light

Let there be light,
Shining through your darkest night.
Let there be joyful bells,
Ringing in your lonely shells.
Let there be love, my beloved..
