Go on… Learn

When you think life is boring,
Things pop-up, that
Leave you wondering…

The decisions you make,
The path you take,
Wake you up again.

Excite you, scare you,
Seduce you, mislead you.
Only to bring you back…

Back to your original journey.
Only… you are now,
Stronger, different, pepped up.

New areas about you,
Appear to you, explain to you,
That you are truly, who
You believe you are.

Stronger again;
Standing,
Welcoming
Fresh winds,
Strong gales,
Even cyclones!

Am I welcoming them?
Tempting them?
Hoping for more,
Thirsting to learn,
Even more from pain?

When the world sleeps

We wander away…
Whiling our time every day.

When you are with me,
You don’t say a word.
So close, yet so far from you I feel.
Looks like the world,
Will beat us to it.
They are bound to win;
Tie us down, in the name of society.

Show me a sign,
Even a little one,
I won’t mind.
Show me a sign,
That you want to
Follow your heart;
Today and right through…

I’ll kick up a storm.
Get everyone to see,
That we were meant to be.
I’ll cajole them,
If that’s what it takes.

Trust me, I’m game,
To cross a million lakes
Of fire and, even dare
To climb, a few snow-capped peaks;
If that’s what it takes.

Let’s not wander away…
Doesn’t matter what the world will say.
Let the world sleep,
While we get back;
Get back to reality;
Surreal and so rare!

Never Alone for Long

The journey has brought
Me so far; the road winds,
The sunlight I caught,
Refreshes and even blinds.

So many people on the way.
Some shake my world,
And move away;
Some are here to stay,
Just a while longer,
Striking one more chord…

I turn to smile,
Say my goodbyes.
They say they’ll stay a while,
And see me through a few more miles…

I welcome this feeling;
Walking – never tiring.
Sometimes I feel lonely,
Look around and find company
Again; Every time I feel lonely.

Suddenly, something!

She has hurt you so much.
You are taking a different path.
She must have left you in a lurch;
Wish I could take you away from this wrath!
Show you that life is still beautiful,
Once again on your trodden path.
I will be so grateful;
Let me take you from your past…
Can’t say where we’ll go from here
But, baby I’ll make it last.
Atleast for this lifetime, here
On earth; we’ll be the perfect cast
I won’t let you get lost…

Open sea beckons

My mind is blank today.
I have no words to give you;
Have nothing to say;
Have told you everything that’s true;
Laid my heart open and bare.

I know it’s tough to love me;
I keep nothing hidden.
(but) there are secrets even I can’t see.
You can help me find them;
Together we’ll explore the sea!

Come back baby, explore the sea!
Morning, noon and even over tea…

I’ll let you find my spirit;
Show you that I can care;
There shall be no limit,
We’ll find each other everyday…
Good, bad and ugly – we’ll live with it!

I hardly know you,
And you me – I know.
Then why do I feel the way I do?
Even your thought brings a glow.
What I wouldn’t give… to hear you say this too!

Come back baby – with you…
I’ll explore this sea, so blue!
