I started yet Again.....!!!

Past few days, i was feeling sad,
I was on a high time low,
For me life had gone bad,
And i believed everyone is a foe.


But i thought to wait for the snow,
I thought i must wait for the rains,
I wanted myself to glow,
I wished to get relieve from all pains.


I waited for a long,
Seasons moved one by one,
I acted as if i was still strong,
But i was losing hope on the run.


And then one fine day,
All the dreams were shattered,
Life had been bundled like hay,
And now i was highly flattered.


I moved towards the town,
I went straight into the fair,
I saw juggler, magician and clown,
There was so much fun in the air.


I then sat in a 'merry-go-round',
During the ride, life's meaning;
I had accidentally found,
Now the only task left was weaning.


Like that swing,
Life also has its ups and down,
One day we might be the king,
Then we might be dethrone form the crown.


I decided to live away the life again,
I decided to start from ashes,
I decided to forget all pain,
I decided to fix all the scratches.


The glow was back on the face,
The zeal was back in me,
I again started to race,
But still someday I’d cry in spree.

I ran faster....!!!

When i was born,
They said i learned to walk fast,
When i was little grown,
They said i understand things vast.


I grew more, and they said,
That they adore my speed,
My friends asked me 'am i alive or dead',
Or am i from some other breed.


I felt happy and proud,
I thought of running in life; even fast,
I felt like i was on seventh cloud,
I wanted to touch that gleam at last.


I ran faster and faster,
Believing that world will follow me after,
I wished to be the master,
But then i heard a faint laughter.


When i turned back,
The world was laughing at me,
They said that i missed the life's track,
And that now i am alone and free.


I sat down and looked both sides,
I had two options left with me,
Either to go with the tide,
Or to run faster; and flee.


One option had my loved and dear ones,
Another option could have anything,
Ranging from pleasant moon to the rays of million suns.
I can be the god or might suffer from suffering.


I got up, gathered my strength,
I ran fastest, towards my life,
But till the time, i covered the length,
They all had left me in disguise.


I was broken, shattered into pieces,
They who once clapped for me,
Had now left me beyond the fences,
Who once ran fastest; was now left with broken knee.

Broken Star...

There was a star in life
agreed, it was much loved
when it sank, it did sink.
Look at the sky’s vastness,
so many stars have broken away
so many loved ones it has lost
the lost ones, were they ever found?
But tell me, for the broken stars
does the sky ever grieve?
That which is past, is gone.

There was a flower in life
which, I doted everyday on
when it dried, it dried away.
Look at the garden’s breast,
dried, many of its saplings have
welted, many of its flowers have
that which welted, did it ever bloom?
But tell me, for dried flowers
does the garden create an uproar?
That which is past, is gone.

There was a cup of wine in life
which, you gave your heart and soul for
when it broke, it did break.
Look at the winehouse’s courtyard
shaken, where many cups are
fall, and merge with the ground
that which fall, do they ever rise?
But tell me, for broken cups
does the winehouse ever regret?
That which is past, is gone.

Soft mud, we are made of,
wine drops do tend to fall.
A short life, we have come with,
winecups do tend to break.
Yet, inside the winehouse
there is a winepot, there are winecups.
Those, struck by intoxication
do splurge away on the wine.
He’s a raw drinker,
whose affection escapes no cup,
one who has burnt from true wine
does he ever shout, or scream?
That which is past, is gone.

Good-Bye...

We give, We buy.
We speak, We shy.
We learn, We try.
We walk, We fly.
We laugh, We sigh.
We trust, We spy.
We love , We cry.
We break, We tie.
We wait, We nigh.
We breath , We die.
We live; just to say a Good-bye.

I cried For her...

She was having troubles with her ally,

I was helpless, I cried for her.

She was being restricted by the family,

I can't help much, but, I cried for her.

People talked about her dignity,

I was speechless, so, i cried for her.

They went too far with their mentality,

I felt angry, I prayed and i cried for her.

The friends betrayed her,

I wanted revenge, but can't, so cried for her.

They planned to ruin life of her,

I know I’d save that, but, i still cried for her.

We were the closest friend on the earth,

When she cried, by her side, i cried for her.

As a friend she meant me every worth,

She felt pain, and i cried for her.

But life had its own plan,

Some issues crept between the friendship,

We drew lines during that span,

Then she decided to sail in another ship.

She went away, far from the shore,

And again, i just cried for her.

I wish, but don't...

I wish to dream, but don't,

So that when i wake up i don't frown,

I wish to walk, but don't,

To make sure i don't fall down.

I wish to play, but don't,

So that i may not lose,

I wish to listen of heart, but don't,

For i don't know what may i choose.

I wish to sing, but don't,

So that world might think weird,

I wish to laugh, but don't,

As someone might feel feared.

I wish to jump, but don't,

So that i may hurt my head,

I wish to pray, but don't,

For i can't face them once i am dead.

I wish to face truth, but don't,

So that i am not tired of trying,

I wish to lie, but don't,

If i did so, from within, I’ll be dying.

I wish to live, but don't,

So that someone else can live my life,

I wish to die, but don't,

As i might be someone's life.

Just woke up from a long dream...

Just woke up from a long dream,

Just saw the real world around,

Still thinking what the life’s scheme is,

Still figuring why my hands are bound.

Just woke up from a long dream,

Just realized what it takes to be honest,

Still thinking what's my theme,

Still figuring why i can't be the best.

Just woke up from a long dream,

Just got the meaning of being true,

Still thinking should i go with stream,

Still figuring why i had to be in queue.

Just woke up from a long dream,

Just learned how to walk,

Still thinking should i follow this gleam,

Still figuring am i under stalk.

Just woke up from a long dream,

Just made some new relations,

Still thinking are they my life's beam,

Still figuring are they suffering my actions.

Just woke up from a long dream,

Just discovered how it feels to be loved,

Still thinking is it a story on the ream,

Still figuring if one day i'll be shoved.

Just woke up from a long dream,

Just woke up from a long dream,

Still thinking am i awake as it seem,

Still figuring was i dreaming or it is a dream.
