As sadness fills my mind and soul,
I don’t know what to think of,
My world has virtually come to an end.
I can, feel the sadness in my heart,
Pulling me down with lots of weight,
I go out of my house, to be with myself.
In the darkness as I sit alone,
The full moon shining upon me.
The crickets chirping, owls hooting,
A small breeze swept across my face,
I saw garden plants swaying in the breeze,
A thought passed through my mind.
If plants can stand lonely through the night,
If these crickets can stay in the cold,
Why can’t I pass this sadness with a smile,
And wait for the sun to rise.
Yes, I can rise above, and gather myself together.
Hence I rose from the darkness and cold,
And walked into my house of light and warmth.
Thank god,I have a very good life
To live for long with happiness ahead.

A race against time, that’s life,
I believed it until I began to think.
A race against time ? Or ,
Is it, a race against self ?
Yes, life is a race,
Against our siblings in childhood,
Against out parents in early teens,and,
Against our fellow beings, for the rest of our lives!
Trying to get better at every opportunity,
A never ending struggle,
Struggle of life.
As a child I fought, for domination,
In my youth it was for wealth and recognition,
And in my old age to,
Get back my youth, which,
I squandered for causes,not so memorable,
Now I have to struggle so hard,
To back my lost health and vigor,
Which I lost on my way to the top,
Trying to jog, all the way to paradise,
Frequenting churches in a futile effort,
To redeem the paradise lost,
Hoping to climb the ladder,
All the way to heaven.
When will my struggle end?
One thing I am sure,
Not,till I exhale my last breath,
Not, till I am taken to my grave,
Hoping to end years of,
Misery and perspiration.
A firm mix with the earth,
From which I came, and treaded my path,
For many long years.
My soul is reluctant to leave,
This land which gave me, many memories to cherish.
A struggle which never ends,
The struggle of life.

Oh, I love these winter nights a lot.
I feel the cold all over me.
I wrap myself in woolen clothes,
Hoping that it will keep this cold away.
But it finds its way somehow,
Into the blanket and over my body.
Oh! I wish my lover was with me,
So that I could emrace her and sleep.
I can see her next to me,
Sleeping with, all the beauty on her face.
Although it is cold outside,
It is always warm inside my heart.
Because I know I am the happiest man,
In the whole world who ever lived,
Though it may last only a day.
I love these winter nights a lot.
I like to sleep a lot these days.
I can hear the sound of rain,
And I can feel the cold wind outside.
Because it is a winter night,
And it is always supposed to be like that!

The little girl had nothing to do,
She was in safe confinement,
In the special room created for her,
Because she was a troublesome girl,
Fighting violently,bashing her head,
Against the wall,
Biting and kicking anyone within her sight,
For anything so trivial,
When , even her small requests were turned down,
By someone she trusted the most,
This was the way her they treated her,
For a girl aged four,she was so frail,
She was so tired even to cry,
Drained of all her energy and charm.
After being detained an hour or so,
They would grant her the much awaited freedom,
Which she priced above all her longings.
Episodes occurring as a train,
She became so pale and frail.
Growing up, she pardoned them,
For treating her the way they did,
Because they were her parents and,
She now knew the cause and remedy and,
Nothing was more effective than safe confinement,
For the disorder called “temper tantrum”.
5.The Lonely Light
http://www.helium.com/items/1114320-the-lonely-light
It shone against the jetblack sky,
Seen as a red dot against a dark background,
Masked by the sunlight during day and,
Unmasked by the darkness at night.
It shines all night, giving signals,
To planes on land and to ships in sea.
The lighthouse too, has a story to tell,
“There is no one to give me company,
The darkness around me is heartbreaking,
On rainy days, my mind is equally cloudy as,
The stormy skies which stretch above me,
I stand in my solitude with silent bliss,
But today I am in a merry mood because,
There is someone to give me company.
Yes,it is a full moon,with a starry sky,
This is the day which inspires me,
To take my lonely stance,
For many more days to come”.
6.Unity
http://www.helium.com/items/1115747-unity-at-the-time-of-disease
Along came a man, limping but not crying,
Behind him,a girl, her face reveals her agony,
A woman was at the back of the pack,
She seemed to be a cripple, the pain obvious on her face,
They belonged to the same family,
I was lost in thought for a while,
What would have brought a whole family to the doctor,
Is it scabies or tinea?
Or is it, hepatitis or chickenpox,
I am the doctor and I will have to diagnose
There I was sitting, bewildered,but determined to find the cause.
Hence I began to examine the man,and found Swelling around the knee,
He was febrile and appear to be tired,
There were patches on his face,
And gave a history of mosquito bites,
All his neighbours were affected too,
All others showed the same findings,
Soon came to the realization,
The vector is a mosquito and the signs are consistent with,
A viral etiology,
I ruled out all other causes and came to a solid diagnosis,
It was nothing other than Chikungunya.
United they were, in health and disease,
I was a happy man, having treated them as a family!
