I have it now…




I love this rush, I love this feeling;
This sense of power is emerging from somewhere deep
Although it’s yet to come alive, the fire has started…

Come now, forget those judgements,
We are done keeping scores.
In this course of lost & founds,
Nothing but freedom is my ultimate yearning…
There shall be no strings, but I’ll carry what’s mine.

Come along if you feel, we’ll be wanderers in time;
Build memoirs of yesterdays, throw colours on tomorrows,
And sometimes, we’ll paint them black & white…

Oh how this feeling of control surrenders to my soul!
Just like sea waves dashing against the rocks.
I call it equilibrium, even though it’s a passing one;
I have it now, settled like a butterfly on my palm…

The calm was always mine when it all began…
It fell like a leaf and touched the ground;
The wind carried it along for a while,
It swirled and danced its way up & down.
Slowly it landed on a stream of water,
And the tender current took it to a place far off somewhere…
From oceans & mountains, city streets & country roads
To the divine Mediterranean lands,
Calm kept wandering…

I opened my eyes and kept searching for it
But it had made its way through heights & depths.
I kept wondering “what was its plan?”
While calm playfully left its traces behind…

It kept blending with the song of the forest,
Teasing me with those whispering echoes…
We still play this game of hide & seek
It won’t let me quit so I stay awake…

While some hunt for it in the light of the day,
It seems to hide somewhere in the silence of the night.

If it’s about running after shadows,
I’ll wait till it meets mine…
For calm was my own when it all began…

Smile doll face, Smile…


Smile doll face, Smile,
Sometimes you may not see the reason why.
But this world is your stage and they’re all watching you; 
Every rise and fall will be applauded, though not by the same…
They’ll give you a name and you’ll always be their doll,
They’ll dress you in lavish finery and pour you a glass of red wine.

Even though you dwell behind those scenes, 
You’ll have your seconds when they leave you behind the curtains. 
There’ll be music, there’ll be light, 
Sometimes you’ll love,
Sometimes you’ll fight. 


But smile now, my doll face, 
For the sake of thy company; 
You be the muse, you be the escape route. 
Tie their hopes wherever they’ve been cut loose.
They might give you their hearts,
But don’t bind them please!
Let them be free, as you want to be... 
Your life will take flight and light up a smile!  


But smile, you must my doll face,
Smile just for another night… 
Your smile might seem like pride to some, 
But there’ll still be somebody, 
Who’ll always long to smile like that…

What is it that you're looking for?




What is it that you’re looking for?
What makes you twist and turn all night long?
Why not content with what’s on your platter,
When the rest have bowed down to the worldly ways?

A prism of thoughts, as unsettling as water;
And all that pondering never ceases to rest…

So you start digging on your own,
Picked those muddled up pieces here and there
Something’s still missing, it always has...

The journey’s long and weary,
That feeling of fulfillment is a distant dream.
The picture still isn't clear;
You wait for the colours to fill in…

Yet they made you walk along that hazy stretch,
You wandered like a curious nomad, ran to quench your thirst
But the mirage won over you at first;
Soon you learned its trick and leveled the scores.

Those sore feet took you on for miles and miles,
But what could beat the flight of thy mind?
It’ll hunt for the hints and leave its trails behind…
Not even the stones can weigh you down now;
You’ve come too far ahead of those second thoughts,
Much beyond the reach of ifs and buts…

My Adventure has only begun...






I have a dream and it comes to life at night...
The day always came with its own plans,
So there came the nights, to wander and explore

I want to run on the grassy fields;
Where the morning dew caresses my bare feet,
The gentle wind escorts me ahead
As I slowly picked up its pace,
We made music as we raced…

No rush, no track of time,
Didn’t matter who came first…
For we didn’t want to stop, did we?

The light was frail, on and off,
The Moon romanced behind the clouds…
The passion lit skies threw its thunders,
And the sky started melting as she blushed…
It drizzled down and wet the lands;
I’ve always wanted to be drenched like this…

So I kept running,
My adventure has only begun…

Strange feeling...I know




Once you leave home to see the outside world,
You become like the sea waves;
Always longing for land…
And occasionally when you do get some of it,
You can’t seem to settle for too long…

The tide has a stronger pull
And you know you’ll have to answer life’s call….
But while you’re there, you try to grab as much as you can,
And give it back some of “You”…

And when it’s time to leave,
You turn around and join the march…
With your head held high up and a deep sigh of breath,
Your lips smile but your eyes are moist at the same time…
Strange feeling, I know…

He and She...





You had the pen, but she had the lines... 
You wrote a song, but little did you know,
You only sang for her...


You didn't know her,
But she was the breeze that swept away your weary thoughts;
She was the shadow when you thought you were walking all alone.


Though you never really said a word to each other 
The silence did it, in more than one ways...
So whenever you sing that old song,
Remember, it'll always echo in somebody else's heart.


You never really had to acknowledge her presence,
For she was your own from the very start.
