The Night Sky Princess

A poem I wrote, Called "night sky princess" describing the very beautiful moon.. Atleast trying to :-)

Oh shy princess!

Princess of the night skies...

your face hidden beneath dark clouds...

beautiful moon,

your beauty shines out in the dark

reminding me of jades stones so black..

your shyness has the astrals ammused

when I see you, I feel happiness in total.

Even amidst the blackness

you shine out like an angel in wonderness.

I look at you in astonishment;

unable to understand whats in your beauty

is it the darkness or your smile so smirky...

oh princess of the night skies..

I look at you for a hope of a new life

the stars revolve around you

and I'm so enchanted I cannot even count a few

I must tell you, your beauty is memerising

and now, I'm falling...

falling into a sleep so deep

with dreams of happiness and joys

all under the eyes of a princess..

The princess of the night skies.

moon! its you i'm talking of, the beautiful moon!

QUOTABLE QUOTES

"What if we had eyes to see the true beauty - the divine beauty. I mean pure, clear and unalloyed, not clogged with the pollutions of morality and the colours and vanities of human life - thither looking, and holding converse with the true beauty with the eye of the mind, he will be enabled to bring forth, not imagines of beauty but reality, and bringing forth and nourishing true virtue to become the friend of God and be immortal, if mortal man may, would that be an ignoble life?"

~ Plato

My Aquaintance, Solitude...

Below, is a poem I wrote on solitude from a soldier's perspective.

As I walk through the phase of life,
I miss all the moments I lost at sight.
All my life I’ve lived for others
Yet today, I sit alone talking to myself in mutters.
Through the days that have passed;
My fears have grown, till they could last.
Yesterday was the day I dreamt,
To serve a country of a name so great!
I chose to put my life in vain;
And make sure none of my country-men
Are in pain.

As I walk through the phase of life,
I re-collect the face of a lady, my wife;
Her sad smile, twenty years ago when
I left instantly making her let go…
Her golden touch I can feel being so far;
And yes, I forget, I am at war!
Twenty years of my life, I’ve served
As a courageous soldier!
Today as I prepare to sleep in my coffin
Not a person to close my tomb, with a
Boulder.

Loneliness is in what I’ve lived.
The agony of which in me is filled.
Years and years I’ve yearned for a soul-mate
But, I am far away from ever having a friend.
The cold wind of the Kashmir valley,
Makes me miss the warmth of my village ‘galli’.
I so wish I was back at home
So that I can cherish every moment of my life
With some hope.
As I walk through the phase of life,
I realize that I never walked,
Rather stayed alone like a rot.

Today, as I am done with my job,
Nothing but death seems to be my reward.
I chose to live lonely all my life
So that people like you could smile!
I die all alone with nothing;
But a question;
Why?... Why?... Why?
As I walk through the phase of life,
I realized I was forever lonely,
With absolutely no joy.

The Journey Called "LIFE"

Life is a journey I believe. Actually everyone do. But the thought of life's journey is very different in my perspective. Everyone is born with a reason tagged to himself. Life helps us accomplish all what we are sent here for. Recently, I came across a slide show which compared our life to trains. When I saw it initially, I chose to ignore it and later when I actually chose to read it, I realized that our life is not just a journey, rather it is an expedition. An expedition which is long an expedition for which, we cannot choose an end for ourselves. Noones life is a cup of tea, everyone have their own difficulties to face and their own pains to suffer. I've forever been cribbing about the state of my life, but it was of-late that I realized that I was blessed. I wish I always counted my blessings. I've been blessed with this very life. I've been blessed with a few people whose presence I believe is most special. I've been blessed with certain talents which make me a better person by the day. I've been blessed with a normal functioning body and most importantly a roof over my head and food more than what is required for my survival. Why need I ask more?

I've finally realized that its now time for me to do my part and make others feel lucky. Its time for me to do my bit to improve the lives of others. Though I still feel I've missed out on several good times in life. Today I stand in a position where I believe that I CAN TRULY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
