Aspiration: The Fuel of Life

"My mind's a turmoil, in a mess incomprehensible,

Thinking clear with a vision has not a thought been possible,"

Said that I to myself everyday till some time ago, a lost look in the eyes unmissable,

Wish I the phantasma ended earlier, empowering me with foresight unmatchable.


Enchanted I feel now, something ineffable drives me on,

An unearthly calm settles around, simulating the peace of siesta between dusk and dawn.

Obstacles, dilemmas, constraints vanish in a puff of smoke,

As if they were  soap bubble I had ventured to poke.


Strengthened by passion and fueled by desire,

A goal to look ahead and ambitious intent of need dire,

Call it an infatuation for gripped I am by inordinate fervor,

See nothing but clear road ahead, cleaned by the 'vision' perhaps a hundred times over.


Know many not the power from possessing a dream goal,

Gives it indefatigable will and a unstoppable soul.

The desire to succeed is an elixir that unceasingly flows,

Vivifying the heart along, with every hurdle afar it blows.


Sure does a peers' appraisal makes your stand even more unflinching,

The responsibility that arises, there is nothing more invigorating.

Riding the chariot of vision and aspiration,

Pulled by horses named desire, need, success and passion,

Seek one does eternal glory and fame,

Etch on the scroll with golden ink ones' name.


Whilst on this journey one feels no remorse, no pain,

Every bump, every jolt is the same provided the riders sane,

Nothing separates you from the victory arch ahead,

If you have a well-planned course and undying intent in your head.

Contemplating on the road fore then becomes a blissful activity,

Every instant seems like a never ending fantasy,

So have a goal and aim for every venture or jeopardy,

If you wish to live a life of divine ecstacy.

Inhibition: The Curse of Mental Reality

Inhibition is a thing  perfidious, so astutely vile,

It's clutches on your actions stretch down a lengthy mile.

Dissuade you it will to differently act, strike a thought new fancy,

Shares it does with our impulses a constant discrepancy.

Reprimand it will if you tread a path yet unchosen, or a new expedition,

Present always before you start it will another demoralizing premonition.

Choking the very life out of the meagre courage ever herded,

Posses it does the power to strike fear in the hearts of the bravest ever  existed.

Say I cannot with surety of the true nature of 'inhibition',

Sure it has in many a warrior the burning flame of patriotism, first extinguished and then frozen.

Heard you must have of lovers infinite who fell and whitened away before they could express,

Lived a many scientist, scholar whose intellectual passion could not the monster of inhibition transgress.

Social, economic, psychological is the barrier it conjures,

A thousand non-existent weakness it reflects through infinite mirrors.

The soul is caged and the heart by the mind muted,

Most of the time makes you do what's not best suited.

Preventing a clear picture of the goal, making even the best dreams sour,

Induces the sick notion of "so near, yet so far".

Retrospect upon how much different it would have been had this despicable thing not been there,

Lives changed, generations anew, nations unseen and new friends to share.

So exterminate this out from within my friends, let the soul breathe afresh,

Spread wide the wings, let the heart fly you free from the present mesh.

Light the torch of adventure and set sail on journeys unmapped,

Bring home the memories of undreamed goals and ride on impulse undamped.
