Carved in stone

Even if you search

You won’t find me

Now I’m beyond

A river uncrossed

So I etched words

Carved upon stone

You’ll see my glimpse

Whenever you glance

Dopamine

Life is a roller-coaster
Because of Dopamine
Excitement of the highs
Brings us crushing lows

For it we crave novelty
Be it food or new shoes
But higher one climbs
Harder will be the fall

And a cycle continues
Driving our decisions
We crave more n more
Yet less n less satisfied

Intention

Too much intention
Does cause tension
Whatever happens
Is just meant to be

Whenever I'd tried
Bit much too hard
I've invariably so
Missed my mark

But whenever I
Went with flow
And let things be
I found treasure

Love

All my life I yearned
For moments of love
I searched, I pursued
And was disappointed

Now I've crossed a barrier
On other side I'm married
Now I see I was mistaken
Love's within, not outside

Blurred

I really don't recall 
When it happened
The lines got blurred
Between you and me

I can't distinguish
Amongst ourselves
Yesterday and today
All has merged to one

Floating in the sea
Of space and time
I sense waves pass
Everywhere around

Turning thirty

I turned thirty a while back
Looked back on the journey
All that lead to where I am

I truly have been very lucky
To have experienced all I did
Chase my dreams, fall in love

Not that I made much of it
I was never a great success
But loss teaches us so much

Now the tides are reversing
I have to swim backwards
To stay afloat even in flux

Market

If we would stop pretending
For few moments a little bit
We'll all agree to one thing

The world is just a market
We are all out for best deal
It's cut-throat to state least

It's salesmen and bargainers
Who reach top society's cream
Romanticists feed from dreams

And here lies the greatest irony
Base reason for any transaction
Is the search for some fulfillment

That's what material can't fulfill
Comfort and excitement may be
But fulfillment comes from within
