When

When people
You've seen
Throughout
Your life,
They pass
Away....
You know
People have
Seen you
Throughout
Their life,
And one day
You too will
Pass away....

It's the same
Old cycle of
Emergence,
Presence,
Disappearance
And then
Perpetual absence

One

With one more
Year, I age some more
With my heart being
Young, wanting to live more

(based on the phrase - young at heart)

Here's a very interesting article on how emotions affect the heart

The beds
Keep changing
So do the rooms

In every house
The beds and the
Rooms....

What remain
The same
Are the 
Overlapping
Feelings
Overflowing
In those
Bedrooms

Like

Like a child
I'll smile
In my sleep

Forgetting
Everything
I'll smile
In my sleep

Peaceful and
Happy, I'll
Smile in my
Sleep

Sleeping
Eternally
I'll smile
In my sleep

Be

You need
To forget
Who you are
When you write

Your caste, class
Status shouldn't
Come in the way
When you write

Shed all your
Inhibitions
And give a
Good write...

Be a natural
Be your own self
Be genuine
When you write
Be candid
When you write

Superficiality
Won't charm
Your readers
Be earthy when
You write

Just be easy
On yourself
And it would
Be easy for you
To give a good
Write :-)
