Expectations

Expectations is the root cause
Still we don't give up

They hurt, sometimes with a killer blow
Still we won't budge the next time

Actions might not be wrong for you
But my expectations failed, that is only true

Words were perfect from your point of view
My expectations failed, that hurt me in the blue

Your approach was correct
Can never blame you

I should learn to expect less
To avoid getting these mighty blows

Each time I try
Still end up expecting in the next

Can't react for my foolishness in front of you
So penned my insanity to avoid any future woe

Tomorrow never comes

Time has no resurrection
What is today, won't be the same tomorrow

Our craving for that future
Destroys many todays on the way

But that tomorrow never comes
And the loss is heavy in the bargain

Everyday is unique
Each day is precious

Why wait for tomorrow
For what you can do today

Nothing is permanent in life
Change is the only true universal law

The today which we sacrifice
Will never come tomorrow

So live every moment
Keep adding life in days

The last day won't send a postcard
Before arrival

'Least we can ensure
There's nothing to regret
When it finally comes

Travel is Life

Travel the road less traveled
For adventures cannot be experienced behind closed doors

Travel the path unknown
As workstations won't unlock the mysteries of nature

Travel the places unexplored
Every place has it's own beauty, a place in history

Travel the route unplanned
Being organised keeps you tied, while curiosity sets you free

Every tree has a story to tell
Every fallen leaf has lesson to enlighten

Feel the wind blowing on your face
Birds chirping in the sun, stars glowing in the dark

Feel the wrath of the sun, bathe in the chilly moonlight
Hot barbeque on the grass, a sleep beneath the starry skies

Each moment of travel is worth a lifetime
For time has no resurrection, choose to wander than wonder

Ignore the world, for you deserve to be with yourself
Not to plan a move or crib on the wrong one
Just to celebrate Living and being lively

Let the curiosity to explore, breathe
Let live the adventure to wander

For travel is life
And life is to travel

Simple Things

That which attracts your eyes
Is not always essential for living

That which captures your imagination
May not be necessary for survival

That which gives you an adrenaline rush
Won't make a difference if you don't experience it

We crave for material things
While ignore the simple ones

Hunger for temporary satisfaction
May ruin the room for future happiness

Peace of Mind

I was missing something in life, I knew
Exactly what though could never know

There is a feeling of emptiness, can sense that
Reason for the same I couldn't decide

A nights drive made me realise
I am missing a lot while living a monotonous life

The moon, even in its half size
Never appeared so beautiful

Lying lazily on the window
And staring at the twinkling skys

Crystal clear they were
Giving way to the many stars 

Which are not visible in our polluted skies

Sound of darkness didn't create a fear

As moonlight lit our way
Chilled breeze gives you goosebumps

Can feel the blood rushing, a lively moment

Traveling through the quite road
With such starry skies above
One can experience peace of mind
In its actual sense

Adieu

Canvas is new, paint a quality picture
Opportunities are there in tons, up for the grabs

 Life is calling, Welcome it with open arms
This moment is yours, make it the very best at large

Don’t fret over petty setbacks
Don’t be anxious, if any battle you lose

As the final war is what matters in the end,
For whichever path you set afoot
You shall triumph & conquer
Is my best wish as we bid Adieu.

-SR.

Too Small To Worry

If that is Himalayas from the above,
Then who are we.

Another brick in the wall
Or a breeze in the wind.

If only cosmos is our canvas
Perspective shall always be larger

Petty setbacks won't hinder us
If galaxy is what we seek in life.

-SR.

Goodbye

Just like the day and night
Like a drifting river and a passing wind
People will come and go

They play a part and move ahead
For our journey was only that much together

What is left are memories
The times we spent,
Are moments to cherish

Nothing is permanent
For change is inevitable

Life is a journey to be traveled
So follow your heart for dreams do come true

Child Innocence

They say God is omnipresent
But when asked if any one has seen
Everyone has a different take

I confess, though, I have seen God
And my tale is neither complicated nor controversial

When I want to see Gods beauty
I see a baby's innocent smile
Gives me hope there is still good in this world to Live On

When I wish to hear Gods voice
I listen to kids own dialect
Gives me strength to speak nothing but truth

So pure and amazing is their life
They know no fear
Nor do they understand lies

For a child's innocence is our last hope
That could teach us how to cope

-SR.

Ask Me

Everyone wishes to do good for me
Without asking me

Everyone tries to define my path
Without asking me

Everyone feels they are correct about me
Without asking me

Everyone takes decision on behalf of me
Without asking me

Different perspective deserve a chance
For what was good for you won't be the same about me

Sometimes the very own love, no matter how much true
Turns into suffocation, while we turn a blind eye

All I ask is a breathing space
Just ask me

-SR.
