Beat d’ bush for huge happiness


They couldn’t explain me,

what exactly is happiness

precisely what mean by it,

I asked to so many friends



Few kept mum, no answer

utterly unclear, with doubt

I really got shocked to hear,

some yet trying to find out



Can it be traced in tender sun,

during a sunrise or a sunset?

after an all-out work schedule,

on a tiring day, if one’s upset



In d’ symphony of falling rain,

to run behind a cosy butterfly

to enjoy sleeping d’ entire day,

dance under a cotton candy sky




In d’ joy of sitting in sea shore,

and watching waves in the bay

in loud laughter of the retirees

in a group, at the end of d’ day





D’ ups and downs in gold prices,

in its frequent fluctuating trend

a sumptuous dinner with family,

or in tight hug of a bosom friend



In fruition of big expectations,

or an undone if instantly done

to locate silver linings in life,

unnoticed goes all natural fun



Simple delights ever ignored,

wish to achieve great heights

ample joys in mini events, yet

aim for a future that never exist



No scope to move in d’ woods,

turned our backs on d’ nature

spend little time out of doors,

for innate source of pleasure



Corner of park, a hushed spot,

pause a moment, kick off shoe

lay on grass, look at d’ clouds,

hovering in d’ sky above you



Painted pink-orange by sunset,

pleases mind, serenity prevails

often fall in clueless love with,

buzzing soundtrack of insects





Hugging a tree with open arms,

abruptly tops up energy level

texture of its bark against skin,

gives a feeling just wonderful



Between soft soles of feet and

soul of sand, shoes are barrier

a barefoot stroll on the beach,

in slow breath begets pleasure



Appealing flowers call to heart,

drown in their colour chemistry

lot of little wins, go unnoticed,

celebrate each as small victory





Wonder to watch creatures around,

with vibrant spirit get engagement

watch rolling hills, lovely landscape,

feel no let down, live in the moment

Inner peace mislaid, life restless,

with nature no soul-deep connect

never enjoy little joyful events,

beat d’ bush for huge happiness

Be relieved of whole sufferings


Death, the proud sadistic sole,

knows not d' harm it has done

shattered d' peace into pieces,

forced the entire lot to mourn



Came on weekend jaunt trip,

checked in to a five star hotel

famed for appetizing cuisines,

smart  gym, a swim pool novel

A hilarious spring board dive,

hapless back trauma mishap

spine snapped, legs listless,

from d’ pool unable to get up



Lifted from pool to d’ Hospital,

a noted neuro-trauma centre

tragedy was of course abrupt,

with meagre hope to recover

A young member of d’ family,

a maiden trip with life partner

an awful trauma in life for her,

massive shock, can’t recover



Drowned in d’ sea of doldrums,

hurt in d’ heart, face shrivelled

detached from d’ guiding force,

her wishes remained unfulfilled

Precious lost, all turned blank,

created a huge empty space

left her apart and uncared for,

in the life’s competitive race



Conscious but his absurd looks,

waist onwards no movements

utter no words, but growl in pain

had a life entirely meaningless

Gulped tear, imbibed sobbing,

endured distress, restlessness

death behold overly ferocious,

to inflict pain in the innocents



Life can’t be the same again,

good times instantly perished

death truly proved its outrage,

fun, jokes, smiles all vanished

Each step taken, toward it only,

no matter which way we do turn

perceived d’ intended meaning,

move ahead’s in same direction



Now evidently looked different,

not a version of ego and pride

a commitment to relieve woes,

no worry, an onward jolly ride

Beyond decent doors of death,

by no chance possible to recall

misfortunes, knock backs of life,

wounds, scars, pain of struggle



Death, a decent silent journey,

can’t ignore, a sure happening

rather it’s a blessing in disguise,

be relieved of whole sufferings
