Here’s a poem by Karthik.
I want to know what your heart aches for
and I want to know if you dare to chase your dreams.
And then dream some more…
While all those pesky planets keep messing with your stars…
I want you to touch the center of your mind
through your esteemed thoughts
What else do I want?
I want you to open up your life’s betrayals and triumphs
And play the fool with both
I want you to find your joy
Through your funny chants
and your dances with wolverines inside your own mind
I want you to let the ecstasy fill the tips of your fingers
And liberate your feelings through words…
Making merry among sentences by your own Royalty.
I want you to completely forget the bustle around you
And to forget the limitations of being human.
To laugh at disasters over a cappuccino.
It doesn’t matter if your story is true or not
All I seek is your date with truth
Take strength from within
I want you to see beauty in everything
everyday and find bliss in your own presence.
I am interested in knowing who you are,
what you do and how you turned up in this forum…
But more importantly…
I want you to talk the walk on fire
that lies within you and
Come out all guns blazing
to finish your masterpiece…
I am the author within you
The raging fire that can never be extinguished
I await your call, when will I hear thee?
