Look into the Mirror

Assume the body, to be a cloak,
A cloth made from material mock,
Enveloping the inner being,
From all the substantial sheen,
And yet,
Where does the shame lie?
Why has the truthfulness gone dry?
Before you point a finger at me,
Stand in front of that glistening mirror,
And see,
Are you what you want me to be?

© Shilpa Sandesh In the stillness Of the summer noon, A shrill startles these ears. The pain pierces through, Like a sword; The eyes are blurred with tears, Can the cry of a heart, Be so loud, she wonders! Then from nowhere,comes suddenly A faint ray of hope, Crystal clear droplets of happiness, And she opens her arms, To embrace the joy of love. She feels alive and smiles. And then comes a blow, The blow of reality, That scatters everything; She gathers the broken pieces, And puts them together, Only to find, Memories full of cracks, What's lost can never be regained, And pain becomes her new joys.

The Path Of Struggles

 © Shilpa Sandesh, Tramping through the woods that be, The path I stride on, Diverges ahead of me; A loud voice I hear, The first lane proclaimed, 'Come, saunter forth, I am the trail, Of happiness you dream' Louder promulgates the other byway, 'Come, tread onto me, I am the course of struggles, that He has set, in your destiny' I stood aghast, In a dilemma that be, Whether to relinquish And quit, Or to traipse on, And take my chances! My heart yelled, For a facile gaiety, Mind howled, 'Exultation lacking struggle, without any scrambles or stumbles, is ephemeral, it's cursory and fugitive' And so there was, no more predicament, No more muddling, And I chose to walk, On the path of struggles!

Ruhaan

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Have you seen a star, Drop from the twilight sky? When blessings and love, Gods shower, And a gleam is born, with a melodious cry; You are my angel, my son, A divine messenger of love, In your eyes, I see the brightness of the Sun, From where flies a zillion white doves; You are my treasure, my son, Your arrival cleared the clouds of sorrows, When from my soul, your soul was born, And happiness marked all the tomorrows; You are apart from the ways of the world, This fake material galore, Be so forever, be your name, Be unclouded from the substantial allure, I will be your guard, your defender forever, My dearest, my Ruhaan.................
