The Ruler of my soul

This poem is an ode to the almighty and his inherent capacity of bringing bliss to my life, dedicated to one of the most special person..one of the few people whom I bow down to..dedicated to Mae and her madness for the lord and his creations..!

In the backdrop of the skies and High sea,
thy limitless love fathoms into my limited being,

and I innate in the earth of dirt and the twines
fail to recognize thy ultimate might.

O'lord of the oceans and the mighty skies,
and the lord of the earth thy cosmic spy,
give me the strength to fight no more,
give me the strength to deeply love and adore.

Give me the peace to live and survive,
and the lessons to imbibe your pompous stride,
give me your heart, your tolerant soul,
O' lord of light, I yearn for thy puissant core

Thou art the the giver of the nourishing rain,
thou art the reason for amelioration of my pain,
Give me your rain, your nourishing sky,
give me the fruits of this pious cry.

Now shalt I ask no more from you,
How shalt I ask you more than thou?
Take me away from this kingdom abhor.
Take me in your world, 'the ruler of my soul'

Namesake

The love story of an author is grossly underrated, it appears that authors fall in love to invoke poetry, but the feelings are 'real' and that does not always work in favor of the author.

One such story is the story of Amrita Pritam and Sahir Ludhiyanvi, it was pure in the moral sense, yet it tends to symbolize an intensity that has rarely been seen.

Amrita once wrote:

There was a pain, I inhaled it
Quietly
Like a cigarette, Left behind are a few songs
I have flickered off, Like ashes
From the cigarette...!

What I present before you are the ashes that were left behind..from my own story.

About this space

The songs are dedicated to but one muse, but the co-relation between the songs and the times they've been written in, is anything but co-incidental. She walked into my life as an inspiration, as someone who over-whelmed me with her warmth, and the "Ruler of my soul" came down to me..on my 25th Birthday; early in the morning I asked the Lord of light to make me meet her, invoking the song,
A month passed and we were at a new low in our relationship, there was something that appeared like a pause, a well deserved break, an inevitable trough in the waveform, but did I lose hope? Well I did lose temper, but not hope and once I saw her smiling face, once I came physically close to her again, the anger eloped, and came down the song "Symbols", symbolic of the symbols that exist in love and life.
Life was music for a while, "you bring too much happiness to my life", I distinctly remember telling her.
Then came the second low,and I was lost this time, perhaps forever, unable to get up in the mornings, unable to sleep during nights, I had lost hope, and eventually my immune system took on itself the responsibility of taking care of my psychological health.
"I am divine" was one such motivation that came out of the deepest core of my soul, and helped me survive with a flame in my eyes and bright smile of my face.
But the healing was never complete I realized, though the intentions were always good, and thus came "cages", the song had wings,it had words,it was a flight onto itself, a poem which invoked my deepest wishes, and I knew I still loved the sound of her coming to me, but there were things beyond me, and I had to accept them.
"Song of a Man" marks the end of the series, inspired by a true story, lived by a friend its a song that comes and lingers onto a lover's conscience when things appear to be difficult, and hopeless.
Ashes was not a story, it wasn't meant to be one, but somehow its lead and its destination mark the start and end of a chapter, one of the most beautiful times of life for me..and I'd cherish the memories forever!
