Signature

I look at the open sky,
spread over me in embrace,
I feel the soft touch of the breeze,
brush against me in affection,
I hear the symphony of birds,
singing to me with a smile,
Life all this while
had been a drunkard's game,
you changed its course,
no more does it feel the same,

I see your signature,
everywhere, all around me,
I feel you're here,
right beside me.

More than average

Don't judge me wrong,
don't underestimate me,
don't mock me around,
don't show unwanted mercy,

I may not be better than the best,
but if you put me to the test,
I am more than average,
I will put your doubts to rest,
when you put me to the test,
coz I am more than average,

more than what you know,
more than what you see,
more than what meets the eye,
more than what you can dream,
more than what things may seem,
more than what you can ever try,

I can make things happen,
you can't even imagine,
face it, you can't even touch me,
reaching me would be like finding infinity,

don't think of me as small,
don't look down upon me,
pride goes before the fall,
hurt me and I won't let go easily,

I may not be better than the best,
but if you put me to the test,
I am more than average,
I will put your doubts to rest,
when you put me to the test,
coz I am more than average,

Playing along

every little moment that I,
seem to live with you,
there can be nothing better,
for me, its too good to be true,
I don't mind your little pranks,
your jokes are funny too,
you may mock me or hurt me,
but that won't make me go away,

playing along now,
playing along for being with you,
playing along to be a part of your life,
in all the little things you do.

Gonna miss the days of our lives

today in my dream, in my deep sleep,
what I saw was what I now feel,

i'm gonna miss these days,
the days we've been together,
and had all the fun and pleasure,
i'm gonna miss these days,
the days that looked like forever,
but in the end seemed so less
these days of our lives...

the days are gone, leaving memories behind,
the bonds made stronger by the passage of time,
now we walk away on our paths of destiny or dream,
perhaps to get together later when our paths meet.

whatever the future be like,
it will never be the same,
like these days of our lives...

Afraid of Darkness

I wrote this when I was in 12th class, with near zero experience of writing. That day I got bored with sitting on my study table for the whole day, and at night looked outside the window beside my study table. I saw the street outside, with street light shining on it. It reminded me of those days as a kid when I was not even able to walk alone on those lighted streets at night. I started pondering over what I felt while alone, in the dark...


I am afraid of the darkness,
it makes me feel alone.
It has no boundaries, no end marks,
it has no voice, no sound, no tone.

It is just darkness, black black all around,
surrounded by black colour, I feel totally bound.
Like a prisoner, helpless, no way can be found,
unless I get a small hint, a touch or a sound.

It haunts me, to my horror, scares me a lot,
I constantly feel that NOW a hand will touch my shoulder,
and I will jump out of my skin due to fear I have never felt or got,
and on turning my head would encounter a flashing ghostly figure.

As I walk in the darkness which shows no end,
on any sound or movement I can only rely on myself not to shout or yelp.
A ghost follows me, I feel, to catch me or to offend,
when suddenly the place is lighted and I thank for heaven sent help.

But as I start going back with relief and in vain,
I feel a small pain which tells me that my journey had no gain,
As I didn't have any source of light and lost lighting again,
And darkness covered me all around while I stood on the same lane.

The same feeling, same fear, same chillness came back,
I went dry, cold and sweated again, standing at the same place.
Now it won't make sense to repeat the things said above, in any case.

One Winter Morning

While going for my coaching classes, a half an hour drive from my home, at 6:30 am one winter morning, made me think of these lines:

Well, wonders will never cease,
in the cold biting breeze,
foggy-foggy weather ahead.
Chilling-chilling down the spine,
just moving on the road destined,
and wish to be on the cosy-cosy bed.
But you see, the world won't let me,
be a lazy pig!
Whatever you wish to have,
you have to work for it!

I wanna break free

all these voices around,
the pollution of the noises in my head,
the grunting sound,
heard them for long, never turning them down,
thought them as truth, never thinking on my own

Everytime I did something, I felt like a lie,
it made my mind shriek and cry...

I wanna break free, I wanna fly high,
I never wanna visit the graves of the past,
I wanna change life, the way I wanna live,
take everything in my stride,
pushing the feeling of pain and grief aside.


I did reach somewhere, but no further could have got,
I did become someone, but I myself didn't know what,
all these voices around, somehow,
took my freedom, leaving me lame,
a guy with some name,
to do anything, I can't try to think,
I search for these voices...
it happens all the time, just the same

Everytime I did something, I felt like a lie,
it made my mind shriek and cry...

I wanna break free, I wanna fly high,
I never wanna visit the graves of the past,
I wanna change life, the way I wanna live,
take everything in my stride,
pushing the feeling of pain and grief aside.


so if you don't change it now,
you're never gonna change it anyhow

so break free, fly high,
to the graves of the past, just say goodbye,
change your life, the way you wanna live,
give chance to yourself, you have a lot to give...

Times spent with you.

Grateful for all the times spent with you,
it had a great feeling.
Thankful for all the time you'd been by my side,
it had a special feeling.
It makes me happy, it makes me smile,
to see you, to hear your voice.
When with you, I feel nothing can go wrong,
you give me energy, make me feel strong.

Now all I want to do is, hold your hand and hug you deep,
and to have you in my life as well as in my dreamy sleep.

It had to be, you and me.

It had to be, you and(for) me...

Looking at you, I felt it strong,
Meeting you confirmed it all,
Never before, I felt so sure,
that being with you
was all that I want to do

and my heart racing pacefully
It has to be, you and(for) me...

the day we met, you looked so nice,
I couldn't help but dumbly stare at you
When you started to leave,
my heart skipped a beat,
and the way you turned and smiled at me,
I felt blessed by the all mighty,

and my heart racing pacefully
It has to be, you and me...


and today I know you'd agree
It had to be, you and me...
