THE LONG ROAD HOME..


It wasn't love at first sight
It was the zest of my being
It was all i ever dreamt of
It was my Paradise....

Startling was its effect,
heart was blessed with strength..
Soul was all tranquil..
No flickering thoughts i had..
i was never so sure before....

it was my urge to hold it close..
i  wanted it to stay forever
but amidst this bliss, forgot my heart
whats forever is only CHANGE...

those long night walks,and lovely moon
those dreams of future,just me and you
It was all i had..
It was my breath of life....

"you are my heart's beacon
all faith dwells in you
all promises made are true
words will always seem few" i said...

ecstasy was divine, to feel it was all mine
i would treasure it always,i knew deep within...

suddenly it seemed delusion
truth got faint and dim..
was it grief in disguise?
or overwhelmed lonely soul?

I may be wrong...
I may be all mistaken...
I stand forlorn, and of what i am sure is,
I have a long road home.....

Our lives are blessed with lots of things that make this journey a worthwhile experience..
i have had my fair share of blessings in life, actually much more than i probably deserve  & most of these have come into my world as people, so much so that i get paranoid sometimes that i may lose it all as i wake up from this lovely dream of mine.
Like everyone else out there, it has not been a well-treaded path for me.life so far has been good since i managed to find travellers along the way,sometimes they were competitors who turned into friends,my brethrens..they caught me whenever i slipped,never letting me falll.& i've tried to be of as much help to them as i can be,as much as is in my power.
they say,goodness can be inspired by others but is sustained & guided by the a power inside you.
many a times i've come across people who've made me ponder over my actions & they've had a role to play in the changes that have come about in me,all for the good,for the better.people have influenced me a lot,in varied ways;some i admire;some i wish i could just hold on to & never lose..all have filled my life with colors,so much so that its a rainbow now!& now that i see this picture of my existence,i cant figure out which of these lovely shades was my own color?! i have a thought here.maybe i m not a color among the many shades,maybe i m the canvas on which they are spread.
 
I remember admiring a kite-filled sky..full of lovely colors floating,rising,shining & then disappering from sight..if these kites are the people who decorate my sky,then maybe i'm not a kite among the many..maybe i am the string that is holding them all together.& if life works this way,then maybe for someone else, i could be a color too.. i could be a green for someone,or a white for another person.maybe i hold the place of mighty black in someone's canvas;i dont personally appreciate that color but i realise its not my choice. however i'd really like being a red,it just feels like the correct shade to be..
 
The colors add liveliness to life,they change,some get brighter, some just fade away but all leave a mark of their presence & thats the best part of the painting!

Emptiness


Oh love of mine, with a song and a whine,
You're harsh and divine like truths and a lie.
But the tale ends not here; I have nothing to fear
for my love is a yell of forgiving and hold on.

In the bright emptiness, in a room full of it,
is a cruel mistress - my heart!
I feel this unrest, that nests all hollowness,
for I have nowhere to go and I'm cold.

And I feel so lonely yeah...
There's a better place than this: emptiness.
And I'm so lonely yeah...
There's a better place than this: emptiness yeah...

Tune mere jaana, kabhi nahin jaana,
Ishq mera, dard mera
Tune mere jaana, kabhi nahin jaana,
Ishq mera, dard mera

Aashiq tera...
Bheed mein khoya rehta hai...
Jaane jahaan....
Poocho toh itna kehta hai -

That I feel so lonely yeah...
There's a better place than this: emptiness.
And I'm so lonely yeah...
There's a better place than this: emptiness yeah...


Black Hole


The world of thoughts was becoming dim,

The law of nature became a sin,

The same boat was boarded by love and hate,

Life was getting scared of its fate.

Heart screamed at the piercing of the soul,

Deep down the trust, they created a black hole…

Sounds emerging and lasting short,

Ways once visible were immediately lost,

Trust is now left betrayed,

Devil is then, being prayed.

They followed the darkness, forgetting 
their goal,

And the world of love sank into the black hole……
