Minds Eye Of Life

One fine day you walk up to your parents and tell them you want to pursue a career in fine arts. The typical response is “Just because you do some silly sketching in your notebook you won’t become M.F. Hussain.”

Photo Credit:   http://vijulian.blogspot.com/ It was half past midnight and I was looking at the photographic escapade of a pal of mine. One amongst them grabbed my attention. Nothing too exceptional about it, just another knife lying on the floor right! A careful second look made me feel as if there is a story behind this inanimate object. Sometimes it’s just a way you look at things in life, which makes all the difference. A blunt knife! What harm can it do to anyone after all? It’s just lying down there on the floor, lifeless, may be it feels useless to have one.  Another look at the knife and I ask myself...  “How about if I was to personify the knife to truth?”  That’s when it all changes.  No one likes them, do we? “Blunt truth”, seldom can we take it when truth hits us hard, hard where it hurts the most! I don’t claim to be a saint who has seen it all and can bear it all. Yet another look at the photograph and I’m lost in though...

Take me away to the world unknown, Far away from pain and misery, Into a world of smile and fairy, Far away from lies and treachery, Into a world of truth and honesty. Take me away to the world unknown, Into a world where you are loved, Loved for what you are as you are, A world that could accept the real me, No deceit, No masks, No pretence. Does such a world ever exist? A world away, a world unknown, I wonder aloud about my dream. The search for the paradise unknown Has no end in this life of mine, I find myself walking in the empty street Walking like a shadow on a dark night.

I close my eyes and I see coloured faces, Some black, few white and others grey. I open my eyes and see few smiling faces, And I close my eyes again, The faces turn green, orange and pink. Emotions and feelings may have no words to express, But the colours say it all. A depressed mind is caged in black and white, Beautiful colours of life are always out of sight. Need to break out of the caged mind, Need to embrace the beauty called life. Colours are plenty for the one, who seeks, The shades keep changing, Yellow to orange, orange to red, As time goes by, they always multiply. Lonely life is like a painter’s canvas, Clean yet lifeless like spotless white, You need to paint it bright, Throw away your worries to fly high like aimless kite. Explore the world with no hurry, There is plenty to relish, plenty to be seen, Purple, blue and green, Colours of the world you have never seen.

I stood on the shores starring at the sun, It looked beautiful and calm in golden yellow. Looking at it I wondered aloud, Why does it hide behind the gloomy white cloud? Everyone loves the twinkling stars, Every poet romanticizes the beauty of moon, Wonder why no one adores the shinning sun? Imagine a day when sun was not to rise, World would be dark, filled with lies. Glittering sun is worthy as gold, Its beauty is unrivaled and bold. So hail the prince in golden yellow, He sure is a charming fellow.

"Expression Of Love!" I wish I could tell you, How much I love you. But words fail to express, My feelings for you. My life was barren No greenery of joy, No flowers of smile. But then you came into my life, Just Like an angel you lit up my life. Just as in spring new flowers take birth, You filled my life with little moments of joy. Then one day there was thunder and lightning, Little did I realize it was advent of a storm? I lost my little angel in the storm that I caused, Gone was the smile and joy. My life again looked barren, I felt and I knew I was again a homeless little boy. I wish I could tell you , How much I love you. But words fail to express, My feelings for you. With you in my life, I felt the joy of togetherness, Just like two words that always rhyme, I felt it when I met you for the first time. I knew and I said, “We are going to be the strength for each other, We will sail the ocean of life together.” Comeback oh my dear love, I wait for you in the burning su...
