A day at a time


At the crack of dawn,
Sitting at the window
Watching a new day being born
Another day to love you
I know that this ecstasy
is not because of the festive galore
But thanks to a divine presence
that I never felt before
I vow to hold on to it
as tight as I can
Taking each day at a time
devoid of a plan
The festival of lights
never seemed so bright
I don't know why
But this feels right

Adieu


Stranded alone at the sea
Left in the lurch forever
Wondering when the journey ended
Watching death begin its march
The escape of a helpless sigh
is now the only sound to be heard
The soul is ready to be set free
I wave goodbye to it with glee 
As this is the end of an eternal strife
And thus, with a smile, I bid adieu to life

The flight


For some a legend
For some a story
It has lived in fables
but in all its glory
It is one of its kind
The one that flies into the light
With its eye on the horizon
Ready to take a flight
The fire will engulf the bird
Burning it down to the ground
Some think of it as fate
But what goes, comes around
By the start of the day
and the end of the night
It will rise again from the ashes 
Ready to take a flight

Rid of the fear


Seeing the fear in your eyes
is what I fear the most
But I need to tell you something 
from the bottom of my heart
Some things will never end
But this sure is a start
For all we know, 
this seems like a reverie
But the truth will always be
that what we have is for real
These two worlds will co-exist 
And that is a promise, that is a deal 
But if someone has to get hurt,
I will make sure it is me
But deep inside, I know that with you
even those wounds will heal
So, my dearest one,
I hope I was loud enough
For you to hear
Don't you ever forget
I'm always there at every step
to help you get rid of your fear 

And again 


I've been trying to battle the odds
Escaping the wrath of the Gods
I might be struck down with vengeance 
Only to get back to my feet again 
I've been walking down a maddening lane
Trying my best to stay sane
I might  lose myself on this path
Only to be found again  
I've been screaming aloud since ages
At the demons and the sages
My voice may die in a while 
Only to be heard again
I've been trying to take a final stand
I claim neither the seas nor the land
Like a mirage that will cease to exist
Only to be seen again

A morning..


I look at the morning sky in wonder
And it  has never looked so clear before,
The melody of the birds
has never sounded this sweet before,
The light orange rising in the east
has never brought such warmth before, 
The tantalising cold  breeze of daybreak
has never greeted me so happily before,
But I wonder when the darkness ceased, 
I wonder where the clouds vanished,
I wonder when the rain stopped,
I wonder when the storm ran its course,
But I just hope I am not still asleep,
I just hope it is not still dark out there,
I hope this is not just a dream
in the stillness of the night 
which I think has ended

Not another time..


Here I sit in solitude,
Accompanied by your thought alone
And I know there won't be another time
To admit how much I love you
Here I sit in wonderment,
Wishing that you would be here 
And I know there won't be another time
To hold you close to me
Here I sit in disbelief,
Convincing myself of being happy at last
And I know there won't be another time
To thank you for being mine
Here I sit in delirium,
Thinking that the day is just too bright
And I know there won't be another time
To get lost in the dark of your hair
Here I sit in fear,
Afraid of losing you forever
And I know there won't be another time
To breathe my last in your arms 
Here I sit in euphoria,
Remembering how much you love me
And I know there won't be another time
For you and me

Still..

The deep blue sea fools us all
With its ethereal calm in the middle
But still its angry waves
Crash into the helpless rocks at shore
The ghosts of lightning fool us all
With their ephemeral presence
But still the raging bolts
Bring down proud mountains to ashes
The stream of tears fools us all
With its strength to battle the sorrows
But still the drops of sadness
Can drown a giant to death
The sound of laughter fools us all
With its endless stand against silence
But still its maddening echoes
Can make a lover go insane

Nevertheless

It has been ages since my wait in the dark 
A wait for the light to find me again 
But nevertheless, 
I will wait for the divine morning

The cold air does not hurt the skin 
As much as the silence hurts the soul 
But nevertheless, 
I will wait for the familiar sound of life

The snake of oblivion slithers towards me 
Or maybe it is my imagination 
But nevertheless, 
I will wait for a fight to exist

The quiet of loneliness screams out 
Trying to drown my heartbeats, 
But nevertheless, 
I will wait for her laughter to be heard again

The stench of death lurks nearby 
Reaching out to engulf the fragrance of life 
But nevertheless,  
I will wait to be revived by her scent again

The night tries to put me to sleep 
Promising an end to the eternal pain 
But nevertheless, 
I will wait for hope to wake me up again
