Things are not right

Something, somewhere, somehow is not right, not fine.


In the music of life, some tunes are missing, some are faded,

No matter how I’m trying, seems like it’s not getting fixed.

And I am losing it, bit by bit, inch by inch, step by step.


You win some, you lose some and you run on fate’s thin red line.

For a few lucky ones, the line never runs into a dead end.

And for a few it ran short, make them fall, like it did

For me, and suddenly I’m all by myself, free yet trapped.


At times I am angry about myself, at times I feel pity.

Cause no more pieces are falling right in the picture perfect

No more easy ways ahead of life, all seems twisted and unknown.

I’m at risk of getting lost and never make my way to my dreams.


Living life feels less like living, rather more like a duty.

Back to the same phase where happiness, a dream, pain a fact.

I close my eyes and say, it’s always darkest before dawn.

Hoping it’s a night, not the cloudiest day, as it seems.

ME, SHE AND….. HER..

We’re running in the woods, giggling, falling and kissing.
Holding her in my arms I was the happiest man living.
And then she ran a li’l away from me, behind the trees
I could see her, and suddenly I felt a soft musky breeze
On my face, I closed my eyes and breathed it deep in
Opened my eyes only to found, my darling, nowhere to be seen.

It was getting dark and the lovely woods started looking scary
The trees were speaking to each other, the wind was fiery
I was running and calling her name, as I reckoned I was lost too
And I didn’t know the way back neither I know how to pass through.
The moon goddess were at her full glory, showing me the path
The forest was looking so mysterious in the moonlight bath

And then I realized I came near the sea shore, could hear the waves
Could see the waves forming and foams were leaving their trace.
Woods were behind and someone standing right in front of me
Her hair was open, white gown was touching the sands, it was my sweetie.
I slowly stepped behind her, held her and kissed her shoulder and neck
She turned around slowly and I was spellbound, shocked and quaked.

It was her, and my mind travelled back years ago, when we were together
When we were young and restless, when she was my life and I was her.
Her blue eyes had lots of question in it, her lips were yet so wet
And my lips sank in them, and I thanked thousand times to my fate.
Only I never cared to look at the beautiful sea, once more
As with waves, another white gown was trying hard to reach the sea shore.

Fallen knight of the falling castle

Blood stained sword, broken armor and cracked shield
Burned, slaughtered bodies all around the battlefield.
I’m alone, all alone. Breathing and dragging myself
My vision is blurred, throat’s dry, can’t even cry for help.

Fought many, killed many, but couldn’t keep my vow
The one I have taken, to keep safe my castle door
This very gate, burned and broken, I supposed to protect
By my sword, with my life, I promised to keep every stone intact.

I failed my soldiers; I failed my people, whom they believed
Tortured screaming voices of them, telling me how they were deceived
By the worrier and his oath to keep them safe from all dangers and hassles.
I am the ‘fallen knight of the falling castle’.

I MOVE ON

Where the world is so unfair, words are so untrue
When I can’t take it anymore what I’m going through
I leave my past and close my eyes for a new dawn
And I open them just to see, I walked past, I moved on.

It’s never so easy, never so tough, to break and mend
This foolish heart can never judge a foe or a friend
So I gather the pieces back and see it again grown
And I bid my journey a goodbye, as I am moving on.

I run like the devil as I leave my past buried behind
Though the ghost of the past always finds me wherever I hide
And I wake up in another dark night, all alone
Uttering, "I moving on, I am moved on, I move on and on."
