A friend of yours…

You know them since way too long

That makes the bond way too strong

There is not a day,

When you don’t think about them

Everyday there is,

Something that reminds you of them

Every time there is,

Something that concerns them, which concerns you too

There had been times when,

They needed a shoulder and you had one

They needed an open ear and you had two

They needed a pair of hands and you had a pair

And when you are lost and helpless

Deep with in the woods

When you can’t even shout out loud

For the fear of being hunted down

Not knowing which way is out

All they yearn for is their graceful exit

No my friend this ain’t your lover am talking about

This is just a friend of yours…

Anticipate

We all anticipate

We all expect

We all dream

We all plan

And suddenly when it all falls down,

Like a castle of cards

We search for answers

We blame it on fate

We blame it on others

Only to forget,

The root cause of it all

That we anticipated

That we expected

That we dreamt

And that we planned,

A bit too much

Based on things uncertain…

Let Go…

When I was born

I let go of my safety

As I grew up

I let go of my childish innocence

When I reached my teenage

I had to let go of many friends

As I knew that I can’t hang on to them forever

Then came a day when,

I had to let go of my parents and my home

In search of my own existence

Then came days when,

I had to give up my freedom,

In pursuit of something that won’t buy me what I lost

In the middle of it all this came someone

Who plunged in too deep to the bottomless pit

I now dread that it might be about time

To let go of that special someone too…

Beyond

Tonight I did it

I crossed the line beyond,

the point of no return

I went where my wild mind took me

Without thinking how much it will,

hurt or pain for some one else

Some one close, so close that

I held on so strongly

For I didn’t want to loose

Some one this precious

I have failed that attempt

Of mine to hold on

Don’t know what’s next

Today one more claim fell off

And shattered

It seems I was not as good

In understanding someone

As I used to claim

And for eternity I might not know

How deep the cut was

That I had caused

For my mindless act

I might have to pay a heavy price

I dread that, one thing that I dreaded most

For I have to take it

What ever the outcome might be

For it was me who crossed over

Beyond the point of no return…

Unlucky In love

He was a boy who was unlucky in love

The first girl he loved was pretty and nice

But she turned out to be his best friends squeeze

The next girl he loved was talented and wise

But it seems that she was never in love at all

The third girl he liked was an introvert and shy

But the whole thing fell off like a rock,

Before it could even take off

The last girl he liked was an extrovert and lively

But he later taught himself that it was not love,

For it was something more than a friendship

But not the love he seek

This is the story of a boy who was unlucky in love

And still it seems is searching for his true love…

After the Rain...

This is my personal favourite, for a simple reason...Its not what meets the naked eye, the drops are actually on the top of the leaf and the shot is taken from below...so I call it the Visual Illusion...

Alone...

I was born alone and fine

Into a world that back then was fine

As I grew I met many folks

Of whom some became my friends

When I was young I was all alone

If not for my summer time friend

During schools I met many in my way

But hardly any one was close to me

In my teenage I made my closest ones

But the journey of life took them far away

During college I made some friends

Hardly a handful was worth keeping there

After I left I still was close, but

Again the journey of life took them away

Still I try to keep in touch

Only to realize one day even they will go

For in this world you come, travel and leave alone…
