Emotions!


Emotion - It is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours.

Humans, from the day they are born, learn to express their feelings. From the first touch of the mother, which brings solace to new born baby; to the first smile that crops up on the face when you tingle its feet; to the first cry for hunger; we humans start the journey of emotions.

As a child the number of emotions you experience are pretty restricted. As age grows, it brings with it a wide variety. As life gets complicated, the emotions intermingle and it becomes difficult to summarize what you experience.

I just want to delve into one of them, which I find starts from the day one of our life and lucky are those who experience it the day they die.

Happiness, which used to be a simple emotion, which used to be attained by a 1Rs choclate or a ride on a bike, is often difficult to attain. The perception differs from person to person, the needs differ. Some feel happy to play a mere game of cards, some can only drink and make merry, for some happiness is about crushing others, for some its about sitting at the feet of God. Its as if "The end justifys the means" becomes the motto.

Herein lies the basic problem as people couple prestige, pride, greed, envy, lust, revenge into happiness. Its just not simple as it used to be.

Rarely do people understand that happiness should be like a infectious disease. Unless it catches others you are bound to suffer alone. If the people around you are happy, it only compounds your own feelings. Never does happiness decrease when its shared. You can only enjoy it when people near you experience the same.

Identify it, share it, enjoy it!

Atleast everyday you should be able to say to yourself....
This part of my life... this part right here? This is called "happiness."



A perfect moment!

Beautiful eyes open across a pillow,
It seems for this moment time will stop,
The earth slows and sounds wane,
A frozen moment without any strain.

Your body so close to mine,
Our hearts beat in time,
With a smile of simple pleasure,
This moment should last forever.

Some say perfection is unattainable
For most things that's explainable,
But in your arms and with your heart's affection
I have found a brief moment of perfection.

Loss!!


I was lost some days ago
It was anger that drove my soul
I couldn't control...
what happened that night
What a loss I say to you
It wasn't love
but why not try something new?
Judge someone you already know?
Just open your mind and go with the flow
nothing has changed...
nothing ever will
I hav left so many words unspoken
I have questions, but your mind still isn't open
What a loss I say to you
I am lost without you.

If I could just turn back the time!

If I could just turn back the time
To when I heard you say,

That I could be your shining prince

And all the dragons slay,

I'd build a castle on the hill
For all the world could see,
The lovely princess that I chose,

To live and die with me.

If I could just turn back the time
And start my life anew,

I'd plant some roses near the paths

That I have led you through:
There'd be no thorns to pierce your heart,
No tears to dim your eyes,
I'd leave no stones to bruise your feet,
there'd be no sad goodbyes.

But Time will not turn back
The hours that passed away.
I can't remove the thorns and rocks

From all those past gone days;
I cannot live my life again
But dragons I would slay,
If I could be your shining prince
For only one more day.
