Confused,Trapped, Surprised but Encouraged



In the mid of the misery of expectations
In the helplessness, that's called hope
In the warmth of a past that is young,
In a silence, that is lonely, lovely, lively.
But
I am Confused.

Roosting behind doors, half open,
Listening to a quietness,
Awake in the sleeplessness,
when the sun sleeps, surrendered to dreaming.
However
I am Trapped.

Looking up from Screens, looking around
There are people doing the same
smiles waiting to be spilled,
seeing them fighting for a cause,
useless and spoiled
So
I am Surprised.


When love seems a trivia,
When pride says, there's no wisdom in defeat
In the triumph of being fallen, frozen,
And yet, curling and blackening in a flame,
That's ever glowing.....inside.
In a way
I am Encouraged.

I cannot be myself anymore



I cannot be myself anymore

In the name of winning,
In the name of survival,
In the name of practicality,
I have lost myself somewhere...

I'm running fast
I'm running hard
But, am I running in the right path?
I cannot stop to think
The next one will overtake.

Oh! The millions of dreams I had,
The things I held close to heart,
The love I thought will never depart
All are lost along the path
And I have lost myself somewhere

I had friends, am still so proud
But today, alone among the crowd
I was very rich without a penny
Now, just a beggar with lots of money.
I know, I have lost myself somewhere

This is not the 'I' I had always Known
Alas!! I am not myself now
I know, I have lost myself somewhere....
I cannot be myself anymore

O My Friends!!!!





Holding You all, I walked on
In search for Infinity
Where we colored the Rainbow
And made the dream Castle over it

Far in deep dark woods
when you all played the flute
I danced in that symphony
Chanting Songs of our Friendship

In the moonlit night
I had hidden myself in our warm embrace
Then, suddenly under the still sky,
I found my Paradise lost
Engulfed by dark clouds
Where the rainbow never smiles.............

O, My Friends

If you go back to the woods again
And find our moments of togetherness
Somewhere trampled and scattered!
Gather those half-torn sheaves of our dreams
And lay them tenderly

Because we are blessed............
