Questions

QUESTIONS Days pass, world turns and years go by, Leaves fall, flowers wither, yet our hopes so high; The wheel stops, the spinning halts oh!, who's the ally? Distinctions diminish and the race ends ha!, how hard we try?! Fullness empties and vacuum fills like one notorious spy; How bright do we want? How far can you see, With hundreds of screens blinding our eye?; How long do we wait? How deep do we reach? To know all of its why; We smile and we keep walking, no matter how hard we sigh!!; Existence is frustration, but to whom do we cry? To the seas?, to the wind or to the moon in the sky? To the Gods or the lives around us?,  Can you kindly reply?; We toil like beasts, so hard, that our mouths go dry, No river or rain can quench that thirst, And you could never deny; For all of us reach that point, When we lie awake, even to the greatest lullaby; Is any of this real?, Wise man!, could you possibly justify? Too late we reach that poin...

Shadows

SHADOWS What is it with you, oh shadows?, Why are you so underrated when, You're the most important? Why aren't we learning from you? For you hold the keys  To triumph, To redemption, To art and salvation, And to all the glowing parts of creation; You, oh shadows!, you are the other half of our identities, For there are no complete sins or proprieties; Your presence reminds us of what we might become, If we forgot to face the light, putting you behind; You engulf us in the absence of light, Showing us, The stark reality of how miserable everything is, Showing us, how viciously vile the world can be, And how ignorant we are, By shutting ourselves out of the true colors, By blinding us with light, that fools us into beauty and hope; I'm sure you're aware, Of how important your enemy is, To all of us, and that's why you decided to lie behind us, Showing yourself up, only when we really need to see you; I n...

That New Path

THAT NEW PATH Hear oh hear!!, victims of the stereotype, Yes indeed, those demons were right; They wanted you to step out of the flow, So that you'll realize they actually wore halos; You ignored the scream of the soul, You ignored the voice from the sky and kept away from the glow; You went behind your predecessor, thinking it'll be a hike, Excited from the nerves to trust the guy on stage with a mic; You were enthralled by the flow of the adrenaline spike, It took away your faith, Your devotion, hope and life, Making you numb and pale; I can feel you mate, hear oh hear!!, Hear as I narrate; my tale. In the age of excitement, I remained calm; When all opted for the route, I snuck out toward the dirt, I made sure I was without a company or qualm, I kept walking no matter how much it hurt; Without any regrets or guilt, Commons laughed, ridiculed and of course they mocked; They were obscured and oblivious to the rare, Showin...

The Secret

THE SECRET In the darkest of the dark, I saw the same torch I left, Unmoved, still giving out the same light; But there was another standing near it, Basking in its warmth; I went on claiming it, only to be stopped, He said it was his, not knowing I kept it there, Argued that he found it first, While I went out to quench my thirst; I gestured and smiled, to make him look at the torch again, All this time the torch crackled, While animals from deepest' roared and cackled; My name was clearly etched in plain, I was gonna fight for it, whether I lose or gain; Though I felt like I was the one who abandoned, True love or hate will never leave you stranded; Whatever I promised to it would never be wrong, Though I went far far away, in my heart, I still heard its song; It was the only one, that kept me going for so long, Gave me hope, love and faith to be strong; It was such, that its glow gave me vision, Even through the darkest path, i...
