Listen, oh beloved!

When my heart musters enough courage

             To tell you that I love you the most

You listen, oh beloved!

             My feelings that I host

When the moonlight walks down the steps

             As the soothing rays touch my heart

Basking in that full moonlight

             My senses forget all their part

Amongst all when I get your glimpse

             So similar as the cool moonlight

You listen, oh beloved!

             To my heart’s full delight

When you go away from me

             It seems as if you are world apart

Though I pretend as if to control myself

             Still I miss you, in whole and in part

I die to hear your subtle soft voice

             As we’re not able to meet

You listen to me, oh beloved!

             So listen to my heartbeat

Desperate desires & desperate dreams

Life seems like scattered beads

             I try hard to keep them tight

All the aspects related to them

             Fall in dark even in light

My efforts are not enough

             Still my emotions flow in streams

How relevant are they for me

             My desperate desires, my desperate dreams

Every decision of my lifetime

             And every person my heart could hold

All depend on these desires

             Their importance turns manifold

Though my dreams are not justified

             At my present state of being

Still I say I want to fulfill

             My desperate desires and desperate dreams

If these desires don’t get fulfilled

             My personal life faces the blues

I may not get a better chance

             To convince them through my views

Don’t want to miss the golden opportunity

             My heart sometime screams

I pray to God to fulfill them

             My desperate desires and desperate dreams

The first push

All is not in my control

             For I hate driven by situations

Circumstances rule my senses

             And I hate these untoward creations

When I haven’t done the requisite

             For the failure then it haunts

But the need has leaps beyond expectations

             That’s why the first push I want

Subsequent stages may not be easy

             But I have the energy to overcome them

I can prove this in every way

             That I’m better than any of them

Stopping me to get the first push

             All odds form heap and mount

Hundred reasons could stop me through

             That’s why the first push I want

It’s the matter of life and death

             For dreams and desires are related

Every link bears a stretch

             As if now or even belated

Every second of life does count

             Of every comment I bear the taunt

The limits of tolerance have been reached

             And that’s why the first push I want
