SINGING HEART

In the cold breeze of the morning
My lonely heart slowly sings,
Of the days and hours spent together
With quarrels and love altogether.
And the golden memory of some stolen moments
Lost from world, far from ends
Which were tied in love but gone with the waves
Which touched the shore, beneath the shades.
But back again, when I was in the world of dawn
The castles of dreams were all gone.
And my heart cried out loud…
And also the dark silence broke with the morning cloud.

NATURE’S GAME – THE LOVE

I thought myself to be a matured one
One who considers childhood love as a dead swan…
But why my heart often leans to some special one
And not listens to the sayings and examples of the past millennium?
I know that no one can answer this,
’cos it’s the Nature’s Game…that no one can miss.

I – AFTER I’M GONE

If someday it happens that I die
With all my dreams and ambitions still in the eye
Some will for a day or two, show some sighs
Then get back to the routine life again
And the sorrow will slowly go by.
After a year or so, every pain and every sorrow will vanish
Except for some occasions, when my ‘used-to-be’ well wishers
Sit around and one of my good deeds is being cherished
This way, I may occupy the weakest part of other’s memory
But this will also gradually be rubbed off…
And the relationship between me and the world will eventually be tapered off!

THE NEW MILLENIUM – ‘2K’

Everything an hour before is a history now –
Because the new millennium has come
Every quarrel is a friendship now –
Because the new millennium has come
People are happy, ecstatic and jumping with joy –
Because the new millennium has come
- But has anyone ever got a thought,
That the world is same, the people are same
…Only the time has gone!

A TRUE JOURNEY

I thought of myself as a popular one
One, who was liked by all and preferred by everyone!
But after I woke up, I found myself to be none of the three
But only a person as ordinary as ought to be
I realized that I was just like an exquisite cup without any tea…
And so, started a true journey to be a real man of the three.
