I Wish-A Constant Struggle


I wish i listen to you
I wish i lighten your burden
I wish i look into your eyes and make you feel better

I wish my awareness guides me to act the way i want
I wish i act with compassion and love
I wish i  be your friend

I wish there are no tears in your eyes
I wish i do not make you cry
I wish i wipe your tears

I wish i do not give you advice
I wish i keep my heart and brain open for you
I wish i did not judge you

I wish i spoke the words you wanted to hear
I wish i could remain silent when you desired
I wish i agreed with you always

I wish i never feel insulted by whatever you say or do
I wish i see the love in your eyes even when you hate me
I wish i feel the pain and agony which you experience

I wish i do not raise my voice
I wish i do not get angry and look at you the way i look
I wish i am better


I wish i do not think of myself as wise
I wish i do not read much and think that i am intelligent
I wish i do not constantly struggle with myself


I wish i spend the right time with you for you to be happy
I wish i spend/give the right amount of money for you to love me
I wish i depart at the right moment

Thirst That Is Never Quenched

Right from birth I have been thirsty and sweaty
A drink here and a drink there
Quenches the thirst but
Only for a short time

The thirst knew no bound during growing years
They said it is the growth and the play
Play I did, and it quenched the thirst but
Only for a short time

The elixir and honey did give me heavenly sights
And made me forget all about the thirst
But too much sweetness and salt
Made me thirsty more than ever

I thought it is the summer
Dehydrating me and making me bonkers
But the rainy, winter and spring were no better
Making me thirsty more than ever

As i look around I know better
The whole world is thirsty like never before
But it has always been like this
Each age feeling it is thirstier than the other

The dying, wilting tree with no chance of bearing fruits or leaves
Is the thirstiest of all, demanding and sucking even the morning dew
The mocking death is mocked and amazed
At the deep roots nourished by unquenchable thirst
