Who Are You?

Who are you?
I wonder at times.
A magician, I guess;
You carry no wand,
Magical are your words though;
That transform my worries
Into peaceful smiles,
And, magical you make my whole life!

I wonder at times;
If I were a rainbow,
Would you be my colours?
For my existence
Is meaningless without you.
If I were a flower
Would you be a butterfly?
And together shall we dance
In our garden of Life!

Or are you just a lover?
A passionate one.
A romantic one.
A caring one,
Who would love me always;
Walk with me,
In every walk of life;
Hold my hand till eternity
And promise to be mine, forever!
Who are you?
I wonder at times.

Breathing...

"life will be a roller-coaster ride"
My elders always advised.
To rise with the tide
And fall with the ebb
And, ah! Just enjoy the ride.

But, when the tides are too high
And the ebb not too low
The body drowns
In the ocean of life!
While breathing under water
Do we still enjoy the ride?

When all doors are closed
And there's no way out.
When the waves are too strong,
And the body too frail

Life seems out of control.
But, little do we realize–

It’s only we, who have full control.

A matter of making a decision, it is

Hard, not impossible it is.
To search the keys of locked doors
Or to maintain status-quo?
To search a new way out
Or to give up in despair?

To let the body drown,

Or, to fight against the waves?

Submit to the antagonistic forces,

Or, Struggle out of the water?

And continue breathing...
