One Single Impression - Reign

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

****

  4. Woww..I love your poem Ramesh! Both, the You and Me and becoming free...

    However, 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!

  10. Ramesh,
    I 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.

  12. as 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
