Freedom

Freedom comes with reason
A change every season
Costs not a dime
Feels bliss sublime

Freedom acts responsibly
Not to act crazy and silly
'tis there to feel the sky
To laugh loud 'n' cry

Freedom can't be taught
Nor chased or sought
It can only be believed
Accepted and received

Freedom comes in chains
Broken tatters 'n' stains
Shatters hope and youth
Without being uncouth!!

- Just an 'Ode to Freedom' and the thought that freedom comes with a whole lot of responsibilities and yes 'chains' as well.....with an openness that lets you breathe yet limited by what is 'right' in the socialisation process...since birth!!

प्रेम

प्रेम है एक अभिव्यक्ति
प्रेम है एक शून्यता
प्रेम ही है अनुभूति
प्रेम है एक मान्यता

प्रेम ही है प्यास
प्रेम ही आर्द्रता
प्रेम है एक श्वास
प्रेम ही सहभागिता

प्रेम अनंत सागर
प्रेम ही जीवन दान
प्रेम क्षीर की गागर
प्रेम मेरा 'अभिमान'
