I Dream!!

In brutal scorching summer days,
on each freezing winter morning,
sitting awake on raining nights,
I dream of spring...

No chill blinds, no stormy winds,
and the sun portraying a flying dove...
Amidst blooming flowers and soothing breeze,
I dream of love...

The purest passion, a mad obsession,
having the innocence of morning dew...
With the serene vision of a million roses,
I dream of you...

Scent of your joy, rendering all worries coy,
your laughter drowning every strife...
With your presence beautifying even my thoughts,
I dream of a beautiful life...

I open my eyes, to a merry life...
with my vision caressed by the spring hue...
Worlds apart, having love in my heart,
with open eyes, I still dream of you...:-)

Alone

All alone lying in my bed...
As I wait for dreams to descend upon me...
My mind is full of just a single thought...
Why in this world of six billion do I feel so apart...

Apart from my family...
Apart from my friends...
Apart from work...
Apart from myself and apart from life...
My life revolves around doing the same thing everyday...
Not a bit of spice or variety...
Nothing to look forward to...
Nothing to expect...
All I do is run like a sprocket in a clock...

Why is it that I am alone...
Why is it that sleep eludes me...
What makes me write depressing stuff...
Why am I in constant grief...
The happiness from my face has left me...
The twinkle in my eye has vanished...
I live everyday already knowing what's in store tomorrow...
I feel all alone today and have the same notion about 'morrow...
My friends tell me my day will come...
I will not be alone...
My patience and belief are fast thinning out...

They say no one likes a loner...
No one likes a cribber...
No one wants a depressing person around them...
They tell me I should cheer up...
They tell me I should live my life as it comes...
I try my best to put on a face...
Not to crib, not to depress...
I go about my day without a whimper...
I try my best to fight what life throws at me...
I still wait for someone to accompany me...
But when I am alone at night...
I still wait for dreams to descend upon me…

Take Me Away

Absconded from all the desires n fear
After deprived of all the strength to bear
Waiting for the death to come near

Obsessed of all the life's brutality
Falling victim to life's cruelty
Got struck up in to gruesome fatality

Don't have an aspire to live this way
Wanna leave this world someway
With my heart full of distress hard to say

Mentally wounded somehow I stayed awake
Questioning up myself taking all that as fake
But sorrows hiked up though I wasn't on any stake

So threatful, so deadly is this world around me
Never let me open up won’t all I had in me
Made me realize it’s not the place to be

Lifeless this life I don't wanna live
It's true but it's hard to believe
Killing me up stripping my sense to perceive

Locked up in heart with no way to depart
These sorrows are tearing my body n soul apart

Angel’s please take me far away
I got no will to withstand n stay
No more wanna lead this life like stray

Scavenger

Life hangs by a thread
People wait to beat their chests

The lamp goes out and
A stream of smoke rises with the wail

On the village outskirts, the scavenger rejoices
Today his children will eat their fill

I'ts Time

    The right and the wrong holding hands of time
    Stand together greeting all with a smile
    Young and restless, the wrong is dressed to kill
    Old and wise, the right is hiding in disguise

    Time goes on but nothing seems to change
    Standing together they are neither enemy nor friends
    People so ignorant often are tempted by the wrong
    The right questions then what have I done wrong
    Hoping that someone will stop by to hold his hand

    Happiness and sorrow are hiding behind them
    No one says a word, the hide and seek goes on
    Life is surely simple but not easy says time
    Have offered you my best and my worst
    Choose well my friend while there is still time

Letter

With every passing season I tried
to stop myself , and yet I cried,
not for the moments we were with each other,
but for those we could’ve been together.

I wished I could just bare my heart
to the only one it longed for,
I wished I could just make a start
for the love that I so sought for.

But afraid I was to say it all,
to come to you or even make a call,
as I feared what your answer would be,
although I knew I would lose a part of me.

So I finally gave my emotions ink,
when I wrote them down in an eye’s blink.
I poured my heart out like never before,
like a sea-hungry river racing for the shore.

The words wept along with me,
to which the moist letter bears testimony.
The trembling pen pleaded me to cease
but I had to write on, to end my worries.

Then atlast I held it up high,
and admired it from each eye,
for I hadn’t written anything so fair,
and I kissed it with hopes so dear.

“He just cannot say no”,
My dear friend would say,
“and you should straight away go,
give it to him, then pray.”

And there I stood in the deserted way,
waiting for him on one end’s entrance,
to say how I have loved you with my life and soul,
and why I just could not say it all.

I heard his laughter from the other end,
how mesmerized I was by it I couldn’t pretend;
but there he entered hand in hand, with another girl,
My vision went black, and my mind was in a whirl.

I ran away as fast as I could,
But couldn’t escape my shadow of despair;
and somewhere alone, restless, I stood,
and for the world around me, I no more cared.

I knew my feelings were betrayed
by the one for whom they ever lived.
Now years after the love that I had put in verse,
The letter still lingers somewhere in my purse.
