Perfectly imperfect

 She was born free

curious and vulnerable

absorbing the surroundings

with every passing breathe

Suddenly she started perceiving

all the standards of the society

forming her ideas rigid

looking at black and white

missing out the colors

She suddenly perceived 

the idea of imperfection

Then she started hiding herself

walking alone in the alley

worried to be seen

scared to be heard

stopping to live fully

feeling ashamed mostly

closing her eyes to the light

And then there she met her

all happy and free

wearing her heart on her sleeve

flaunting her blemishes 

she looked so beautiful

with all her scars illuminating

in her contagious smile

Now the girl in the alley 

remembers her core

she dances in the rain

like no one is watching

she talks with confidence

she walks her talk

leaves inhibitions behind

worrying less and loving more

crying and laughing with open heart

because now, she knows 

it doesn't take a perfect person

to live larger than life

she is a part of that almighty source

she is perfectly imperfect!

They shared the deepest secrets, happiest moments and worst times together. She was surprised when he started feeling distant when he found his girlfriend. The teenager was happy for her friend but felt alone ...

Always Ask Questions

            I will always be grateful to my teacher For the advice that changed my life He told me to always ask questions for questions are rare and empty solutions are rife.   A question opens a door To limitless possibilities Possibility to understand and answer all the longings.   Without a question The teacher is not challenged Without a question A student will not be engaged   Asking a question Will resolve deep mysteries Who am I and what the world is about which has been existing since centuries.   What is my purpose Why do I exist The answer lies in a question If you really persist.   Try asking how I can help Instead of complaining To your surprise The answer might be fulfilling.   Do not forget to ask what the lesson is. When in a situation happy or sad An answer will teach a lesson The difficulties are not all bad.   Where is my attention? ...

And at the end I am yours

Where all the conflicts end And the duality dissolves  Where all the noise calms down The chaos rests in peace  At that serene place I am yours. All my demands sink  in the depth of your eyes All my complaints Disappear In the curves of your smile All my anxiety melts  In the embrace of your arms All my questions are silenced  When our lips are locked Good or bad  Nothing seems to matter Right or wrong  The questions do not bother Where my material identity ends It blends in yours At that beautiful place  I am all yours.
