There is a story in every heart
Our stories tell us apart
What story have you been telling yourself?
Is your trauma your story?
Or it’s how you grew besides it, Lorry?
Don’t let any mishap or deceit rob you
Of the life you planned for yourself
You must bloom and spread your fragrance
Look within and find your essence
Afterall, everyone likes a happy ending
Be that shining light like the Aurora Australis
Through the rabbit hole, find your true self, Alice!

Asleep

Have you ever seen yourself in sleep?
Do you rejoice this life or do you weep?
What are your frustrations and dreams?
What people are precious to you?
What is it that you want to keep?
Have you ever tried to be awake?
Fully understand this universe
And how it works?
Dwelling in nature, questioning everything has it’s perks
Away from the depressive darkness that lurks in mind
Making the world and our essence look less important
Happiness and sadness is like a tide
Write what’s on your mind
Don’t go and hide
There is always a way for you to stride!

Hear the sound of the ocean Lorraine
Hear the pitter patter and then heavy rain
Hear the blow of gentle breeze
Let the nightingale song make you feel pleased
Hear your breath go in and out
Easy, easy, blood pressure down
No more dwelling on the unpleasantness
No more mess, no more fuss
All is working out as you wish
Life is a beautiful spicy dish!
It is a little sweet and a little sour
Go to sleep, it’s that hour!
Stop the silent moaning, you have that power
Remember, you are your mama’s sunflower
Remember, she used to knit your seaters
You played in open fields and enjoyed big tractors
It’s time you think of pouring love on your kids
Nothing else matters, just their bids
Your garden, your painting, the stories you tell
Peace is the only place to dwell
Love is beautiful, love is kind
That’s the only story to sell
It’s never shady, it’s never mean
Your hearts are one, never a twin
No memory cuts you open, making you silently scream
It’s light and easy, like cheesecake and cream
Sweet, delicious desserts on your mind
Roses, petunias, lovely lavenders are kind
Life is once, live it well and wise
Gain strength and get up, if you fall thrice
Have a warm bowl of soup or rice
Always remember smile has no price
Live, love, create and enjoy
Stand up for yourself and celebrate life,
No matter if you feel like a guppy or coy
Ultimately happiness is inner joy!
Let your authenticity light up this world
Live how you want, like a free bird
Life is not a race to come first, second or third
Speak up, let your voice be heard!
Remember to sing a sweet song
Let out no mean song, nor so loud
Let every soul feel valued and proud
Leave some sunshine for all left behind
Footprints to the rainbow and road that’s kind

Moving on

They all left one by one
It hurt like hell, to be left alone
But don’t take it personally
They have to find the world of their own
You are not the centre of their universe
Even though, they were yours
How is that possible
That reality is obscure
But if your intentions are good
And your heart is pure
You will let them go
And keep loving them so
For they are still your sunshine
A friend, not foe
They may not care much
But you do so
And that is true love
If I may say so

Resilience
When I see so many broken hearts
Roaming around and at places providing food for free
Then, I love the resilience in me
I see faces battered by life
And I realise the glow in me
A feeling of gratitude takes over
And I thank thee
For there is no greater friend
Than your own character’s strength
And your own glee

You are bound to fall in love
At least once in life
But to break your heart
is the nature of he
Between making money
and taking care of children
Don’t forget to live life and just be
They will critique your actions
And surely you will fall short
in the eyes of he
For they don’t have enough love
And strength to carry you
In their arms and give you glee

If you run away, you will feel you abandoned them, ashamed and lonely
But if you are a person of action
You will find a goal to beat
And that is when
you will find your strength
And your deserving seat
Don’t lose yourself
in the moment of heat
Let the matter cool down
So you can find your feet
You are glorious, created by HE

Don’t give up hope
The sun rises each day
and the moon some nights
It’s not lost forever
It will find itself again
Alongside stars, it will shine together

You are beautiful my darling
Live every breath with thanks
Nobody owes you anything
Find your value within
Like the sun burns itself
to light the world
You are here to give not take
Make no mistake
But giving feels good
Like the free food
Find the love within
to give and forgive
For a thousand year, I bless you live!

ਹੋਲੇ ਹੋਲੇ ਲੈ ਤੂੰ ਸਾਹ
ਨਿਕਲ ਨਾ ਜਾਇ ਉੱਚੀ ਆਹ
ਦਿਸਦਾ ਨਈ ਹਾਲੇ ਕੋਈ ਰਾਹ
ਜਿਵੇਂ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਰਹੀ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਅਜ਼ਮਾ

ਤੂੰ ਠਹਿਰ ਇਹ ਹੰਜੂ ਥਮ ਜਾਣਗੇ
ਵਗਦੇ ਦਰਿਆ ਹੰਬ ਜਾਣਗੇ
ਚੁੱਪ ਤੂੰ ਰਹਿ ਜਾ ਸੀ ਨਾ ਕਰੀਂ
ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਤੂੰ ਹੱਸੀ ਨਾ ਬਣੀ

ਗਿੱਲਾ ਨਾ ਕਰ ਤਕੀਏ ਨੂੰ
ਰੂਸ ਕੇ ਤੜਪੁ ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਰੂਹ
ਇਹ ਰਾਤ ਤੂੰ ਕੱਟ ਲੈ, ਚੁੱਪ ਕਰਕੇ
ਦਿਲ ਖਿੜ ਜਾਉ ਆਪੇ ਦਿਨ ਚਡਦੇ

ਹੋਂਸਲਾ ਰੱਖ ਦਿਨ ਬਦਲਣਗੇ
ਸੁਕੂਨ ਵੀ ਆਉਣਾ ਦਰਿਆ ਲੱਗ ਕੇ
ਨਾ ਰੱਖ ਖੁਦ ਨੂੰ ਸੂਲੀ ਟੰਗ ਕੇ
ਸਵਾਸ ਤੇਰੇ ਨੇ ਸੁੱਚੇ ਮੋਤੀ ਦੇ ਮਣਕੇ
ਰਬ ਨੂੰ ਧਯਾ ਤੂੰ ਢੋਰ ਬੰਨ ਕੇ
ਕਰਦੇ ਮੇਹਰ ਤੇਰੇ ਵੱਲ ਤਕ ਕੇ

ਜੇ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਬਦਲ ਦਿਆਂ ਤਾਂ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ
ਕੇ ਉਸਨੇ ਛੁਟਕਾਰਾ ਪਾਣਾ ਚਾਹਿਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੈਂ ਉਸਦੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਵਿਚ ਖਲਾਰਾ ਪਾਇਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਰਾਸ ਨਾ ਆਇਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਉਸਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਆਜਮਾਯਾ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉਸਦਾ ਜਜ਼ਬਾ ਸਮਝ ਨਾ ਆਇਆ

ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਹੋਰ ਨੇ ਬੇਹਤਰ ਪਿਆਰ ਜਤਾਇਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਬਰਤਾਅ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਭਾਇਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਨਾ ਆਇਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਉਹ ਮੇਰੇ ਤੋਂ ਉਕਸਾਇਆ

ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੈਂ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਲਈ ਤਰਸਾਯਾ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਉਹ ਮੇਰੀ ਖਵਾਹਿਸ਼ਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਾ ਨਾ ਕਰ ਪਾਇਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉਸਦਾ ਦਿਲਫੇੰਕ ਮਿਜਾਜ਼ ਪਸੰਦ ਨਾ ਆਇਆ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਾਲ ਅਧਿਆਤਮਿਕ ਮੁਕਾਮ ਤੇ ਨਾ ਚੱਲ ਪਾਇਆ

ਬਹੁਤ ਕੁਛ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਜੋ ਵੀ ਹੋਇਆ
ਉਸਨੇ ਮੇਰਾ ਦਿਲ ਤੋੜ ਦਿੱਤਾ
ਜਿਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਦਾ ਹਰ ਮਜਾ ਲੱਗਾ ਫਿੱਕਾ
ਰਿਸ਼ਤੇ ਮੰਟੋ ਮਿੰਟੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਤੋੜੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ
ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਉਸਨੇ ਵੀ ਨਿਭਾਂਉਣ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕੀਤੀ
ਪਰ ਮਿਜਾਜ਼ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਿਆ
ਮੇਰੇ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਉਸਦਾ ਦਿਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਖਿਲਿਆ

ਫਿਰ ਕਯੋਂ ਮੈਂ ਹਨੇਰਾ ਬਣ ਕੇ ਖੜੀ ਰਵਾਂ
ਕਯੋਂ ਨਾ ਉਡ ਜਾਵਾਂ ਬਣ ਕੇ ਹਵਾ
ਲੈਣ ਦਿਆਂ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਇਕ ਖੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਸਾਹ
ਕਹਿਣ ਦੇ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਵਾਹ ਵਾਹ

Poem - No time

I love you, You love me
No one’s got time to hurt ji
You are filling your cup
I am filling me, I am filling me

Don’t take it personally
You are lovely
But he has needs
Needing more than me
That’s the truth of it all
To put it politely

Let him live his life
Let me live mine
I need just me
He needs several to dine
I am fine with tea
He needs his wine
The needs are different
It’s not a crime, it’s not a crime!

Let him live,
he is fine
You look after you
You need to love you
See that your true
To yourself
Don’t wait for one
to make you happy, to make you happy

You got to care for you
That much is true
Make your own brew
And you drink it too
So be careful
How you phrase it
Your body’s listening
Don’t be doubtful
He wasn’t hurting you
He couldn’t think of you
He was to busy
Getting through
His own issue
Of emptiness,
his own issue of emptiness!

He needed some
occupation
Some excitement
You thought it was love
O foolish girl
He belongs to no one
He’s loyal to none
Not even you
See it through
You just be you, you just be you
You got to care for you, You got to care for you
You just love you, you just love you!

लहर लहर में शोर है
कोई और है, कोई और है
क्यों सटकती आती है
क्यों भटकती जाती है
ज़िन्दगी बता तुझे क्यों नहीं करार है
पथरों से टकराती, क्यों तू बढ़ती जाती है
बोल तो ज़रा मुझे, क्या तुझे मलाल है
हारती नहीं तूं पर,
हिम्मत तेरी, कमाल है, कमाल है
