MY Birthday Song


When the sky meets the earth
With the goodness of the drop
The drop with the "plop"


Nothing seems so beautiful
Nothing seems so true

True with its blue


This day was I born Born
In the light of the moon

The moon Smiled and blessed
Said "dear , you are going to be true"


True like the rain which falls
Washing away all the dirt from thy heart

Like it smells on fresh mud

Mud , which makes you feel
Home
Down to be the one
You were born

Born like a princess
With crystals in your eyes
And soft velvet in your skin
And a heart of gold

The Rain said
"Dear , be caring and nice
loving and dear
Sacrifice
when needed to do so"

The moon also gave me
Some tests to complete

Said "dear , how will you pass this life if you don't prove to be alive?"

And the moon drench me with its rain
As I forever slept in its arm
Wit closed eyes
And a warm heart

Heart which still beats today
As I grow older a year
A year again to complete

So on this day
I thank the Moon
the Rain Thank you
For making me feel alive Once again !

Commotion

Let it go Let it stay Let it run But see it does not run away Let it feel Let it touch Let it hold But only till you can behold Sweet noise Purple dust Morning and Twilight of dusk Sincere love Pathetic anyways ? Sooth your heart Open it Smell it But see that you don't hurt it Don't eat it It might not taste so good As it looks to be Be like that Do like this Compare Don't Consult Judge by your brain Not your heart Judge By the ways You have experienced Life And not by the Ways taught to you Sense it And it will be yours May be Forever... - Saswati Barat 1:14 Am May 21,2009

Dedication

Life seems to unfold When you think you have settled down And makes you stir in that comfy seat of yours As if telling you not to just yet Put your guard down And that frown Which finds its way through your face Might project a lot of disgust To life's amusement And bring about that little change you never would have welcomed Could this be a challenge ? Another "life's games" may be ? Or is it much more complex Rather simple in its terms To juggle ones fate In their own hands If you drop it You loose ! And if you don't Master is sure to find a way you do And even if you survive Life ain't gonna make this easy for you Why do we strive so hard So hard in this once in a lifetime ? Purely not indulging to our pleasures To counter react on our impulses Better off Less than Why is it so hard to believe we live And live not for one's sake but life's ? - Saswati Barat

I am Society

I am society I am the mind I am greedy I am the kind I am love And I am peace I am what you Think of me is I twirl and twist And stop the change I break the bottle And shift the phase I am Mighty I am a Beast I can be tasty But I can be least Least bothered Least concerned Lest you make Me feel I am perfect I am time I am mortal I am fine I am a story I am a tale I was the king And the angel I am cold Cold like the mountains And I am warm Warm When the sunshine beats When the grenades fail I am the blanket I inhale All your sorrow All your grief I am old And I am ancient But I am patient I am the society - Saswati Barat
