I wish the time would stop right now,
And everything would just freeze,
And dark dreams would vanish right now,
So I could live in peace.

I wish a new day would not dawn,
Till this illness has gone,
It's turned me into its pawn,
I wish to be unborn.

I wish to go into exile,
A burden I've become,
'Cause right now this life seems futile,
And I am not welcome.

I wish there was a guide who'd help,
And befriend this lone heart,
And rescue me 'fore hearing my yelp,
From miles and miles apart.

'A dream within a dream'

Meter : Trimeter

Rhyme Scheme : ABAB



In wonder and in awe,
A dream I had today,
A beauty that I saw,
She took my heart away.

She shone of silver glow,
An aura full of grace,
Even the moon hid low,
Behind the dark cloud's face.

I passed her by and gaped,
And fumbled on the ground,
When her hair back she scraped,
Behind her ears around.

Her eyes hath just met mine,
She lent a helping hand,
I saw a smile divine,
And strewed like grains of sand.

I wondered why she blushed,
Was there masked love involved?
My heart-beats hath just surged,
Hey wait!!!...the scene dissolved.....

A day or so passed by,
But seemed forever to me,
The judgement time was nigh,
I could not wait to see.

The brightest star in east,
Was concealed by her grace,
The beauty and the beast,
Were once more face to face.

Was the time stopped on me?
Or love at second sight?
I could not budge for glee
Had moved me with its might.

Ne'er this I felt before,
Or half the worth of it,
The lovely heaven's shore,
I sensed beneath my feet.

But then I saw a man,
Holding her gentle hand,
Helpless and feebly wan,
My heart was a broken strand.

I stood there while she left,
A silent spectator,
The dream now seemed bereft,
To the misty-eyed narrator.

Adrift back to reality,
Fading memories descend,
Whammy incredulity,
I couldn't quite apprehend.

Lasting love, I ponder,
Reflection in her eyes,
In her arms, surrender,
Sans eternal goodbyes.

'You are my Friend, my greatest companion'

'You are my Friend, my greatest companion'

A multitude of roles you characterise,
In life's journey you always mesmerise,
Whether you are far-flung or lay near,
You keep me going through all facets of fear,
You keep me going through my happy times and bad,
Whether you yourself are gloomy or sad.
Sometimes a stubborn teacher's role you play,
You teach me how to be strong and lively and gay,
You teach me how to live, love and let go,
Then to evolve into a flower whose seeds you sow,
A flower which is tender outside and strong within,
Such is your charisma so rare to believe in,
Such is your charisma that I find hard to express in words,
For words are mere concealment of true feelings and regards,
For words only say and donot show the true meaning of life's spirit,
Rather your unspoken silence speaks mammoth of this gift.
Your actions hold me tender while i behold this spectacle unfold,
This spectacle called friendship, is worth more than all the gold,
This spectacle called friendship, is worth more than a perfect after-life,
A single friend is worth a complete garden in this life,
As I lay me down to rest, I will always cherish this gift called friend,
As I lay me down to rest, you are my true companion, you are my greatest friend.

'The selfish heart'

YES, YES he is selfish!!! honestly, dont do the crime if you cant do the time...

'The selfish heart'

He dwells in his own dell,
Oblivious and isolated,
Often whiny and wicked,
Never to come out of his shell.

He ignores everyone he meets,
Has place for none at his home,
Frankly, he's aloof and all alone,
With straight smile to all he greets.

Love isn't a part of his skill,
He thinks it's a vile crime,
For he knows he can't do the time,
Yet he falls for the age old drill.

Alas! He is shattered, wasted and sore,
Begging to self, "don't repeat it, please!"
But the selfish bastard that he is,
He is ready to die once more.

'Mistakes'

It's a common adversary that you and I share,

It teaches us more than we could possibly care,

Even the wisest of them all it does not ever spare,
It befalls like an unannounced guest, so always beware.

Like a feather on the breeze it gently sneaks by,
Like a burden it sits on your shoulders on the sly,
A fleeting moment's reluctance and it'll make you sigh,
A few more of them feathers will surely make you cry.

Be unafraid of its outcome, dont hide when you make one,
There should be neither any shame nor any concern,
Just make way for new ones, for you are sure to learn,
Be it huge, be it small, someday its importance you'll discern.

For it's one of the wisest protégé under nature's rule,
Just like its mentor, it's sometimes harsh and cruel,
But in its recurrence dwells an all-powerful jewel,
That it's never too late to learn from this old-faithful.

I applaud to thee, oh wisest of them all "Nature",
For bestowing upon mankind this unique feature,
All are wise to ask for its forgiveness in their prayer,
Yet not all wise enough to harness its untamed power.
