Mind

When your mind wants to lash out

And you know you cannot,

There is only one way to let go:

Write,write and write again.

Until your mind is clear again-

And your soul feels so refreshed-

That you can just breath again.

Dreams

Dreams





There are more dreams in my mind-

Than there are stars in the sky.

But I now know that

Not all dreams will be fulfilled.

Just as there are millions of stars,

But only one sun shines on this earth,

Likewise from my million dreams,

A few come true and a few all lost

And I have no complaints;

Just joy for the ones that are realised

CanYou Deny My Love?

Have you never heard my heart beats for you,
Or seen the way sun suddenly shines when you are with me?
Or noticed the way the breeze ruffles your hair and mine?
This togetherness was meant to be .........you and me.
I am calmed by your presence,
Life seemed a lot easier and much more bearable.
Just stand by me and hold my hand,
Say nothing-'cause silence has its own language.
Let our silence speak of our love:
The way your eyes lift up to meet mine even in crowd,
I don't even have to look at you.
I feel,Iknow,I blossom in your presence.

Happiness

I was searching for happiness,

I have been searching for a long time,

But I could never find it.

Sometimes I was so close-

That I thought “This is it!”

“I have found it!”

But it never stayed with me

For more than just a few moments.

Those moments are so very rare

And so very precious to me.

Then one day I knew that

This is not the right way.

I was searching for joy

In all the wrong places.

All I had to do was

Look within me and

I could have found you

Waiting to be discovered.

The Cockroach


Cockroach, cockroach, cockroach.

How you just encroach-

Into my home, into my room,

Into places untouched by a broom.

I sweat, I fume, and I run,

But all you have is fun!

I thought I just hit you,

But there you sat as if by cue.

I tried bringing a cat,

But it was always after the rat.

I tried the sprays

And my life was in disarrays.

Now I’ve stopped

Chasing after you

And by some kind of fluke

You just disappeared.

And then I wondered

Is it the same with my life!

Haven’t I wandered-

Enough after dreams!

Now I am content

Living my life.

Oh! Just a little cockroach!

But it gave me my life.

The Road Ahead

The Road Ahead-

I still keep walking-
When will this road end?
Or will it be going on forever and ever
When nothing is left but me myself.
Will I still have to walk on
Or will I ever find a place to rest.
Life seems to be moving fast-
Why I am not able to keep pace?
When I slow down-
Will this road just end
Or will it be still lying
Long and lonelyin front of me.
I don't know when I'll reach
Where my destination lies.
Still I just keep walking and walking,
Hoping that this road
Will take me to where I belong.

Hi!

My name is Arathy. I don't have much to say about myself. I love to read, write, dance etc etc..
I have always had a habit of jotting down all the dark feelings that sprouts in my mind. It helps me relax. But that definitely might be the reason why my Mother thinks that I am a pessimist. Don't believe it. I stay optimistic by vending out my pessimistic feelings through pen and paper.
To jot down these on to a blog and hear the comments from public was my father's idea ( always the practical one).
So I am starting out with a blog of my own, and waiting to hear all your comments
