Under the light of my promises to you, oh guardian angels; accept my dreams!

Life, I see you grey,
Life, I see a ray.
Life, you wisdom personified,
Life, you a plight!

Many moments I wait,
Look at stars,
I find myself amongst them,
Shining, yet blinking!

I find myself so complete,
I find myself incomplete.
You, my hero,
My guardian angels!
I hope you know,
That everyday, I look up to you.

That everyday,
I smile, I weep, I gaze at you,
And finally I settle,
I embrace myself.
I know one day,
I shall meet you.

Dearest stars,
You who give me,
My identity,
I am definite,
I shall see you,
Very soon!

I cannot hide,
That I wish to be one of you.
Not only on this land,
From where I look at you.
But I want to stand,
Just next to you!

Your light,
Shall show me my path,
That I am to rightfully follow.
I promise,
I shall never,
Never leave you, hollow.

I shall spring as much joy,
I shall spring as much grief,
I shall try, to circumscribe,
To you the reality!
As the world is,
And you see it,
I promise you,
I shall make it, a better place,
A better place to live,
For all of us!

I will give you,
A good sight,
The light you give,
That light will shine.
I promise you,
Your lover!

On fatherhood

The other day, I heard a conversation of two little kids talking about their fathers. One boy said to the other, “My daddy will go to Jaipur and brings lots of toys for me.” The other kid wanted to tell his friend that his dad was the best, he went on saying, “My dad will give me an ice-cream treat tonight, and he gives me a scooter ride every evening when he returns from work.” I couldn’t stop but smile, giving all my ears to their innocent and lively conversation.  They made me question the stereotypes that prevail in society regarding fathers. It’s often said, that fathers don’t go to the school on Parent Teacher Meetings and that a mother always picks the kids from the school after it gets over. Father is depicted as a carefree individual, who gives all these important tasks to his wife. Be it, the household chores or taking care of the kids, from their education to their health. Now, the question is what is the role of a father in the family? And does it end only with ea...

a dream that was, and that ended.

i was dreaming,  then i saw her face, that glittered as she saw me, it was her soul, dancing in the sea, asking me for all the love, while, i denied her, of what belonged to her. it wasn't that we didn't love, each other! but simply,  that it wasn't in my hands, i was fearful, and it wasn't, in her hands,  because she couldn't, make me understand. it was tough time in short, for the two of us. winds flashed in the meanwhile. then, out of my reverie, out of my dream, i looked at the sea. there i found the sun, gleaming back at me, with a powerful face, of consolidation, over my lost love, of which, i could only get a glimpse, in my dreams, while, i kept my glance at the sea.  gagandeep singh vaid

Granted by the Lord

You personify your dreams child, Live jolly in the ideas aligned, By your perceptions, of goodwill times, Which you live in your today's mind. Aspirations were presumed, By the time you were a child, Since then, until yesterday, You inclined your ideas, in a bind, Now, it's the real form, life of yours', makes which.. In presence of today, limed Earlier days, I asked God, why my lover; Do I have to wait, even I know how to elongate; my talent, Why not I get wings to sublime..? He said, slowly each day, whispering in line, Make the heat generate, To swallow all areas to be good at, Then rise, entertaining, The lovely people who surround you right .. Alas! I wondered if, My being silent was my plight, But salute I that mindset, Which spindled curiosity in sight, Making me less weeping, but trying.. So I waved slowly the shy tag light, And am I furnished to strike! Journeys each day, or felt are, Which each second, and fractioned time, Prepare my persona, laying super trusted...
