Talk someone out of suicide
What would you tell your child, friend, family member, etc if they came to you saying they were suicidal? Some people don't have anyone to turn to so let's give them a place for some hope. One rule: No negativity. Suicide isn't a joke and it's not something to be ashamed of or made fun of.

Yet there is more

There are lands to walk on,

& depths to dive. 

There are stars you haven't seen, 

New heights yet to fly. 

Golden ray's you haven't felt, 

& sunrises yet to down. 

Breezy air in your hair, 

Innocent smiles to put on.

There are roads of fame, You haven't walked;

There are dreams you haven't dreamt;

Hugs & kisses warmth, yet are to be embraced. 

There are days you haven't lived,

& nightless chatters you won't forget; 

There will be new lip smackering  Mc-burgers, yet to be tasted. 

Thank God! Some mistakes happened, without which you would have regreted. 

More mistakes are awaiting,  though they are underestimated. 

Words never matter,  it's the story they tell; 

And Story's conclusion depends on where you want it to end.

Evolve, move & refine, 

There is more to you,  than you define !!!!

Decorative language of free mind

Poetry is flow of expressions,  in collaboration with words & emotions which is the decorative language of free mind,  enrolled with restrictions,  pause & twists, based on Rhythm of complicated human mind.

It is the designer dress on thoughts, emotions flowing with fineness of words,  decorated with meter, rhythm & rhymes.  Language of heart attracting similar floating minds. 

It can also be perceived as compilation of mind & heart,  an art conceived by experience of life & after a long gestation period within, it is delivered in the form of dancing words. But only by virtue of its reader it thrives to life.

Write a piece on any theme or subject in any format you like with only one proviso - it must be written with the express intent and purpose to be read aloud - so rhythm, sound, cadence, meter (yes even in a prose piece) are what are important here. Use punctuation as it is meant to be used, to inform the reader of short breaks (commas and semi-colons) or longer breaks (full stops). Use sentence or line length to dictate pace. Think about the sound of the words. Have fun. Tag Me

Who am I? What am I?

I'm more than my mistakes; 

Every scar speaks,

have crossed a rake. 

though I gathered, 

all together

It felt as if,

Clouds had clattered....

Stop counting my mistakes;

With every fall down,

Confidence was at stake.

There I got up

tied my lase;

Listen the story

that I rephrase

All that matters is,

at the "End"

What are the possibilities? 

What I learned?  

What I earned? 

What are my abilities? 

Can I bring smile

to atleast a face? 

'YES' indeed it's a, 

blessing with grace....

Winners are those, 

the longer who stays; 

Hope does wonders, 

even in amount as trace. 

and here I am

Flying in air, 

satisfying myself

has often been rare....

Everything today looks

Fine and fair...

Actually keep counting my mistakes,

It'll help you analyse

what a 'Hero' I am 

during our future handshakes.......

Sparkle

Should I compare thee to the sun, 

or sun should be compared to thee Ma?

Thou hugs warmth,  has clearly outdone, 

Bright sunny and sweaty summer's plethora. 

Thy eye's sparkling light, kills my failing fear; 

like with sun's royal arrival, night is dead. 

Reflection of thy proximity, glooms my cerebral hemisphere; 

Daisy, Aster, lavender bloom with sun on riverbed.

At noon,  sky turns into burning flap, 

with passing hours, even sun so high disintegrate;

When time fickle and plunges for tight slap, 

Thou words, Thou presence feels so great. 

The longer I live,  the more I understand, 

Ma only Thou are God's creation's best brand.

Peace song

I feel like falling, 

High from a cliff.

My hairs strings dancing, 

On winds rhythm. 

Body drifting along gravity, 

Nothing to oppose, 

Neither the friction of sanity.

Just peace all through. ....

Eyes are close at first, 

Later they are open wide. 

Enjoying the freedom of soul, 

Sinking or dipping in divine. 

Just peace all through. ....

I'm flying in air,

Which direction who cares, 

Flying or falling, 

Can no longer differentiate. 

No end to restrain, 

No barrier,  no brain. 

Just peace all through. ....

My heart is pumping, 

Blood is tornado gushed,

Adrenaline shot high, 

Lungs are air flushed. 

Look I'm  facing,

the Sun in the sky. 

Smile never ending, 

Extending till molars behind. 

Just peace all through. .....

Hands are spread wide, 

Like wings in the clear sky. 

Dancing to the heartbeats, 

All notes & rythms,

Feel perfectly right. 

Just peace all through. .....

Thoughts being zero,

Dreams on pause. 

It's just that moment,

Serenity has no clause. 

Just peace all through. .....

Self destruction

No desire,  no dreams, 

Is a warning sign,

With the potential to destroy, 

Swiftly than,  it seems. ...

Child’s verdict to God

I'm a guest as living being,

& you are in charge of my well being. 

Had just opened,  the book of life, 

& rains of exams came pouring by...

I don't like to read or write, 

To be honest,  am not very bright. 

But no one listens,  even if I deny. 

Homework, exams, projects. ...

All I'm suppose to qualify. 

Asked Pa to increase my allowence,

After all I go to school, like growing man.

Having girlfriend, maintenance is high. 

He doesn't understand,  though I cry.

Temper tantrums all I have tried. 

You are my last hope, Oh Majesty

I know God,  you are damn busy

atleast  send your angel pretty, 

to tell dad, increase my pocket money. 

Didn't you get my letter,  Oh Lord

don't be stingy, am not asking Ford. 

My problems do not end here, 

Mumma is sometimes difficult to bear. 

She called me, 

While I was playing peek-a-boo

She called again

Which I dint respond to.

She got angry & yelled my name

I had to finally respond in vain.

Goddd she doesn't let me play

Over that,  I get 'no say'.

Please tell her to calm down, 

Kids need to play around. 

Other day I was late to class, 

Teacher gwaked me through her glass. 

I was not given chance of testimony, 

Going to school is no jam & honey. 

Soo many rules, so many restrictions

As a child,  I get no jurisdiction. 

I'm the victim of injustice

Settle my case,  your Majesty. 

Where am I suppose to file my plea, 

In your court,  you are guilty. 

My prayers are not answered, 

My wishes are delayed

Why are you never fined, 

Though you are always late.

I call,  I mail,

Prayers & complain.

You don't hear

What ever I say.

Think,  I should give you "C"

in your performance bond,

Only after that,

 You will learn to respond.

Yes m atheist

None can make me, 

None can break me, 

I'm strong, 

I'm responsible for what I'm, 

Or what I do with my life. 

I don't step back,  

coz of some blind believes

Come on, they are blind, 

But I can see. 

I can burn night oil, 

I can accept fall down,  

I again dare to get up.

Self flaws are easier to be forgiven, 

I don't give others power to ruin me, 

I don't spill my failures on GOD's shoulders. 

Yes I am an atheist, 

& I am responsible.

I don't like probability & possibility

Always disliked maths & calculations.

I simply choose to begin with certainty of "Shall WIN".

Only thing I believe is,

Universe is to make me, 

I just have to step up, 

Deleting the reasons to stop.
