Fear


Like i said
Cough it out
Sneeze that bit
Pain
Stuck in that
Lump down your
Throat

Shake it off
Blow it out
Don't Care
Its you
Who it matters
The most

Fear of uncanny things
Things royal and mundane
Fear of being afraid
Of losing the face

Of biting a small piece
Fearing you might gulp down the whole
Of touch slightly
Fearing you might not let go of the hold

Fear
Brush it off
No
Not brave
Fools act that way
Just act normally
Normally the way
You would

Don't you let that fear
Get in your way
Its a cunning four legged
Always lurking behind surprises
Good news
Fear might overshadow
Crouch you down the sun

Stand up
Fight back
Don't Fear

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

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

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
