Until last breath

When I am gone will it be then, that you would realize my worth
That everyday that the sky had watered, was to settle the dust
For every time the clouds had covered the sun to cool the earth’s crust
It was all done at behest of a hand that had folded in prayers for always you first

Will life be so ill-humored to define its meaning to you so late?
That when I am gone , you will search for me in every God’s created shape
And having had the taste of pinnacle galore, you would finally want to escape
Will you then know the difference between what was reality and forever fake?

Would you then bend down to feel the earth that I walked on in all braveness?
Would you then breathe the air passionately to feel my spirit , so shapeless?
Would you then want to wet the colors in your palette?
But only to make an impression of me on a white canvas

Destiny written in so much disregard will never give us our privileges
The intimacy of clean hearts will get consumed so deep to have never left any traces
So take the plunge while I last in so much of passion for you, from amongst so many faces

Fearless finally

I push the door open to let the fresh air come in
A pleasant breeze brushes across my face
Engulfs me in its aura like a slave
A smile parts my lips and I wonder where have you been

A hand reaches to help me out
To soak in the delirious sun
I take my first step a little anxious
I wonder will this end my emotional drought

I look at the sky so vivacious
I want to fly high and touch the clouds
Absolutely undaunted I want to run ahead
Get the lost back and let all my inhibitions shred

Dreams unfullfilled start to unwind
New ones getting woven
It still seems so far away
But now i can stand strong and yet be sure of the undefined

Story has to end for a new beginning

Fallacy , a dream land for years it was
The fable seemed to continue forever
A deception it was from the beginning
To keep the innocence alive this was my last endeavor

The curtains string slipping from my hands
The drama coming to a frivolous end
The anticipation making me breathless
Can I now run back and make the amends

The curtain falls flashing the entire life by
Split of a second it shows it all
What had led to the shallow emptiness?
It was the fear that had created all the walls

But I couldn’t let go off life just so soon
I knew there was more for me in store
This couldn’t be the end
Not for me just yet, it was time to rise, time to transcend

Let the barriers fall, let the bricks make new walls
But not to separate but to make each as one
Make the future like it never was
let go of the past, it can’t be undone

Road less travelled

Its time to say goodbye
for new beginnings to come and embrace
i take a look around and accumulate the left over’s
free like the albatross flying away without a trace

Its time to touch the horizon
and fly beyond to allure the wild
to spread a little benevolence
and break the shackles of the forbidden child

i dance in the rain, drop down to my knees
hold on to the ground to only soar up high
An illusion coming to life finally
Lighting up all the dark corners like a firefly

I soak up the sun and blend in the infinite colors
The prism broken I take one step at a time
My leaps turn into bounds with every passing moment
Carried away I cant complain, I am complete in my prime

Don't look back

You want to stop and look
Feel the moment
But the clock ticks by
writing more stories in your life's book

The nip in the air
Gets you nostalgic
The feeling you had felt two years ago
Dares to come back and flare

More than the moment
It reminds me of the time gone by
And i drop down to my knees
Wondering how much time is left
And how long will it take for those memories to dry

Its ironical when my heart is in the dark
There are lights everywhere
I can hear people's laughter
while my soul refuses to light up even with a spark

I try and hear a voice
Search for it through the walls
Because that's all that surrounds me
I end up talking to myself, i don't have another choice

My palm touches and feels the cold
The mist in the air settles on my face
Telling me don't shed a tear
I will wipe it off you and wont leave a trace

A Dream Broken

What I felt last night when I cried
Was more than being left alone in the middle of the road
A hand that led was taken back
As if love had almost died

Reality struck with a hatred
I told you he doesn’t exist, it was useless for all that you bled
Take a look around there is no one who stands close
Save yourself a heart ache , let all your doubts shred

I wanted my own , I thought I had him
That’s when the needle pricks
To tell you all of this was your minds trick
It’s a panic attack, take a deep breath or else your chances are of survival are grim

A soul so confused , left to drown
Sarcastically amused with itself its now
A strong faith for years is slipping away
How will you survive so much of hate

All I had wanted was a better day
All I had wanted were some hopeful words to say
All I got was a broken dream, a shadow taken away
There was never black and white , it was always shades of grey

I Stand strong

Life fell apart
Dreams on fire
Ashes flying in the air
I stood there and watched

Walk I must away from it
Before the heat catches up to me
Leave I must away from what I have unearthed
Tragedy awaits me cause of the fire that I lit

Reality of it all I saw it too close
I won’t let the rain dry up on me
I won’t let the winter leave me cold
I will find my solace out off from what I chose

I will walk till my feet let me stand on them
I will touch and feel, find the warmth once again
I won’t retreat even when I am afraid
I will move ahead, won’t refrain

I stand alone but I stand strong
Let the lightening strike , let the thunder roar
It can only follow me now
I won’t let it get ahead, this time it will be me who shall soar
