Deep in me,
It’s you.
where none can be placed….
like the breeze savouring the waves,
You taste me.
just like the waves caress the sand on the shores,
Your skin encompasses mine.
Your magic was unknown to me,
until your eyes met mine…
never then I realized, i am gonna be deep in love,
i am like the restless tide, pulled by something unseen,
and you were like the warm shore awaiting me,
as we embraced each other, it was like the waves curling, lingering,
just long enough to feel, but not to claim…
Your fingers trace upon my skin,
as no sky was mapped,
searching for the constellation to adorn.
We met like the night sky leaning upon the ocean,
listening to the sweet murmur of the waves,
carrying every secret in motion,
slow but steadfast…
our souls, lingered between the quiet pull…
not storming, not stillness,
but remaining in that very moment;
not letting go,
like the land kissing the waves.

What if there was nothing to be fixed?

Constant thoughts bother me now and then…
What if there is something that i need to fix?
What if there is something that i need to go for?
What if someone needs my help?
What if there is something that needs my attention?

Stop…my dear;
i kept saying to myself now and then;
Nothing needs to be done.
stay calm
stay where you are,
You don’t need to solve anything
You don’t need to do anything
You are not required to plan anything,
You need not anticipate.

Just being is enough.
At first, it’s overwhelming, and it might be uncomfortable as well,
I know, it’s something that you might not have felt this way for a long time,
Let life happen, let it not be handled.
Remember, my dear;
Not everything is your responsibility
Silence doesn’t need to be filled; cherish it while it lasts.
Moments can be experienced without improving them
Rest is not earned—it’s allowed…

Letting all this happen does not make you incapable.
It just means that you are choosing not to be constantly responsible for it.

I know that not being switched off is something admired by all.
Choosing yourself over others is called ‘Selfish’.
But remember, only you can help yourself.
You deserve -Moments where you can simply exist—without the weight of what comes next.

Sometimes i wonder, where did i lose those days, the days when simple happiness arrived from tiny little things happening around me. Remember the times when there was a half-hour power shutdown, and everyone assembled around a lamp or a candle…talking about anything and everything that came into mind. The sound of rain, accompanied by soft breezes, played with the flame, while laughter and tiny attempts to scare the others filled the air with recited scary tales. The joy multiplies when the power is back on. I also remember the times, when getting a chocolate or a sweet was rare…since it was not affordable. Every other kid’s birthday you know  was like celebrated, since that’s when u get a treat.. and it doubles when it is your best friend’s birthday, as you get a little more. Also, the rare occasions you get a toy with thise cumin coated sweet candies…(jeeraka muttai) which you put up in the showcase, just so that you can cherish it forever. I wonder where all these tiny spurts of joy vanished. Now we search for bigger things to help us find joy, and unfortunately, it’s never enough as well.
In this fast-forwarding world, it is important to find simple joys, ones that are not caused by harming others, maybe just by smiling at a kid on the road, a simple hug from your child…it can be anything, but find it and enjoy it, cherish it.

Ever noticed the dancing candles?
the ones shining bright ;
like a million stars in the sky;
caressed by the slow breeze;
enough to caress it, not too much to blow it away;
It’s more like,
caressing the flame, like a tender flower;
burning itself, but gone unnoticed;
as its shine is so bright;
enough to lighten up the space.
With every breeze,
It takes a slight bend.
a little flare, enough to melt it;
as if two souls are dancing together,
eye in eye…not snatching their gaze,
like the stars in the sky,
dangling from up,
The chandelier shines.
