Oceans

They say you're an ocean
I ask them why
They answer me enthusiastically
And I accept with a sigh

They say you comfort us
You have a calm nature
Of your vast and limitless simplicity
You form an oceanic caricature

You are soft you are smooth
They compliment me heavily
They compare me with the oceans
And I get satisfied easily

But later when I think of it
I feel they take due advantage
They have not yet experienced the storms
And have not yet seen the oceanic rage

They think they can pour and pour
With me a deal they will clinch
I'll tolerate each thing
And I'll not flinch

But to those who think I'm a simpleton
I request their thoughts to hault
Neither me nor the oceans are mad
To let you obtain some free salt

Peaceful Himachal

Vast stretch of sky above, River water ripples at feet, Mountains guard little homes, Local goods at sale on streets. Apple trees line the road, Plums and peaches follow by, Deciduous forests in the background, Their trees all tall and high. Men handsome women cute, Faces laced with natural glow, The trout fish healthy and tasty, Carrying them fresh streams flow. One look at the horizon, Snow peaks smile from there, 'The Land Of Gods' the name justified, By its beauty in a single stare.  - Disha

She has seen it all, All that you want her to see, And you thought she hasn't, And all that you have hidden from her, But she has, She has seen it. Standing there on the road, Amidst the chaos of the city, Playing with the wind that caresses her face, She sees it all, She absorbs it. She sees the vivid colours on sale at the stalls, The peaceful clouds that float in the sky, The kids who cry for candies to their moms, And the wings of the birds, That only know to fly. She sees the way you stop, To let the cars pass by, She smiles she knows the cars, Are the problems you face, And as you wait for them to get over, She sees you, Sigh. She sees the dogs barking there, The mist that is consuming all of the air, The bells of the temples, That are sweet but loud, And the most innocent face, There in the crowd. She sees pleasant mornings turn, Into busy evenings through the day, She knows she is temporary, But permanent in her own way, How she loves to rem...

Me As I See Myself

It rained again. An unseasonal warm spell wettened the black roads at the sunny time of the day, for the fourth time in two weeks. These unexpected rains annoyed her. They brought an uncomfortable uncertainty to the weather; neither the sun exercised its might nor the drizzles brought any relief. She had never liked such uncertainty, not in the weather, not in her life. But today's rain, she noticed, was different. Something about this drizzle was different, unusual. The energy absorbed her within minutes. She felt devoid of her actual strength. She started sensing the presence of someone other than herself in the house. No doubt her paranoia had returned, or maybe it had become worse.  The rain made its presence felt in every room of her lavish apartment. This time she wanted to feel it, she wanted that presence to hover still in the air. She rose from her seat and walked towards the window. The afternoon sun planted soft kisses on her cheek. She suddenly felt strong, like a kid r...
