YOU AND ME
A portion of me likes you
And another hates
But the core of me stands baffled
Perhaps because of what you are
And a lot more for what I am
Yet most of me hold you in good esteem
In spite of your merciless reign
Over my thoughts; Ah! Obsessed me
Destiny entangled our lives
Smoldering in your fire life evolved,
As I reach beyond wrong and right
It’s time for parting ways, yet
I shall not burden myself with the decision
Destiny brought us together
Let destiny decide
But, here and now
I announce my absolute freedom
No, you won’t be reigning over my thoughts
Any more, for you too
Deserve freedom..and respect..
*****
Becoming Free
It’s a sure and tested way
For inflicting torture on ‘self’
By letting thoughts be
Reigned over by someone else
Millions of thoughts,
To pick from and think
Then why be obsessed
And fixated with something
Hey, become free and
Let heart grow wings
Let it fly and find
How a cuckoo sings
Why and how did nature
Design a rainbow
Thousands of hues,
Yet only seven to show
What does make Sun
So punctual and wise
Always on dot,
Never late to arise
Why does a tiny bud
Open up to bloom
Knowing will be filched
For decorating a room
Each moment in real world
Something wonderful is happening
In world of thoughts then each day
Keep planting new saplings
No more obsessions
Let’s permit none to reign
Ever over heart and mind
Let joy and bliss rain
****
Well written Mr. Sood, love the spirit in the second one especially.
ReplyDeleteOne can share thoughts, permit criticism, but controlling is ruled out..... Well expressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Harshadji and Aayushi, for encouraging as ever.. And Aayushi it would be comfortable to be a little informal for world of thoughts doesn't recognise age..
ReplyDeleteWoww..I love your poem Ramesh! Both, the You and Me and becoming free...
ReplyDeleteHowever, that would be quite difficult to happen much to our wish to be free, right? It will remain to be in the mind...
Thanks for your visit in my site Ramesh!
Sometimes I wish destiny would work a little faster than she does! I could relate to this. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteRamesh,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed both your poems. One a nice commentary on relationships with destiny. The other being free of obsessions to become free in the end. Both introspective to me. Thank you. My best, Rob.
It is strange how much reigns over us. Nicely penned!
ReplyDeleteas if a cup as been overfilled spills out and continues on till at last we become aware and stop the flow...... obsession is a good word that stops me cold... we must remember to smile instead of think too much... one cannot obsess with a smile... yeah, i like this
ReplyDeleteI really like both of your poems. There is a lot to think of in both of them. The lines:"Hey, become free and
ReplyDeleteLet heart grow wings" are my favorite! Thanks for these~
