FIGHT

A week is past, now I am back
I am confused, I have lost track.

I have to go and get some rest
And then rise in time for the test.

It's tough to fight, tougher to win
But to lose at times is no great sin.

It's when not winning causes less hurt
We scold ourselves, we must be curt.

We have to win, we shout and say
Or just slog on to see that day.

So, let's fight friends, for glory then
No more choosing the easy lane. 

It's time to win, not lose again
Only then will we lose all this pain.

WHY??

In the end of days and the end of time
I can still hear that old wind chime,
It reminds me of those better days
Since then many have gone down their own ways.

I sit and think of the chats and smiles
They are now far by a thousand miles.
Now some don't speak, others have changed
It ain't just me, who's gotten pained.

Oh, how I yearn for those days of fun
When all of us were together one.
Why do we quarrel, why do we fight
We all lose out, no matter who is right.


We were so close, we moved away
When many quarrels were in the fray
Things just broke down, were we so weak
That some would shout, some eyes would leak.

Knowledge Divine

Why do we live
Why are we here
I think and heave
What I hold dear

I want to know
All that there is
Why can I not
Do it with ease

We should all learn
To try to know
It's for our sakes
And not to show

There is no end to knowing more
So learn a bit, there's more in store.

For u k....

You are the fire, that you are 
You ever seem to glow 
How is it you are still burning 
When all else has gone slow  

You are a beacon for true hope 
You teach me what its time for 
You always tell me how to cope 
And now please take me to the shore.

Unsure...

I had never feared to be alone
It was crowded all around
Everyone else is still out here
Yet only I am bound.

I wish to fly and soar so high
To be free from the world
Yet I can only sit and sigh
Since my wings have become twirled

Why cant I just do as I please
Why do I stop to think
Things that I used to do with ease
I can not do, I blink.

It's not much fun
It's not a joke
I have to run
Or else I choke.

If I go far Ill manage it
Unless I want to stay
So help me to ignore this hit
Let me go far away.

I do not know........

It was a bright and sunny day

It was so full of light

But even then I could not stay

Although I said I might.


A lot has changed since we last met

I'm no longer the same

Although my eyelids may seem wet

The changes, they just came.


I don't know yet, I don't know now

How things will be on some day

Am I to blame, then tell me how

Its all so far away.


It is so very good, I hope

For all of us down here

This might be a bit hard to cope

For things that I hold dear.


I truly don't know what is right

And what's not to be done

I did not go ask for the fight

To me it was no fun.


O does it really matter much

Well, maybe it really does

But what else could I do as such

So lets cut out the fuss.

This is a post uncharacteristically related to my other posts, as in that it is not a composition of my own. It is intricately connected however to the feelings I feel, nothing more, nothing less. Moreover, in the truest sense, none of my writings are original, because they have been conciously or unconciously affected by my previous exposure to literature, irrespective of their form. So here's to my feelings, which original or not, are nevertheless true :

tum ho toh
gaata hai dil
tum nahin
toh geet kahan
tum ho toh
hai sab haasil
tum nahin toh kya hai yahan
tum ho toh hai.
sapnon ke jaisa. haseen ek samaa
jo tum ho toh
ye lagta hai
ke mil. gayee har khushi
jo tum na ho
ye laqta hai
ke har khushi mein kamee
tum ko hai maangtl ye zindagi
tum ho toh
raahein bhi hain
tum nahin
toh rastey kahan
tum ho toh
yahan sab hi hain
tum nahin
toh kya hai yahan
tum ho toh hai har
ex pal meherbaan ye
jahaan
jo tum ho toh
hawa main bhi
mohabbaton ka rang hai
jo tum na ho
toh phir koi

na josh na umanq hai
tum mille toh milli
ye zindagi
raahein bhi hain
tum nahin
toh rastey kahan
tum ho toh
yahan sab hi hain
tum nahin
toh kya hai yahan
tum ho toh hai har
ex pal meherbaan ye
jahaan
jo tum ho toh
hawa main bhi
mohabbaton ka rang hai
jo tum na ho
toh phir koi
na josh na umanq hai
tum mille toh milli
ye zindagi

:-)

When I was drunk, I realised
You were someone I so much prized

I sat and thought, I sat and cried,
I couldn’t forget you however much I tried

I know it now, I know for sure
I am not confused anymore

I know as much that I love you
It would be so no matter what I do

I want to see you smile all day
So I can wipe my tears away

O please be pleased, and nothing else
I’ll see through to your wedding bells

I will cheer the loudest that day too
Although or because I love you.

Am I sad or simply mad....????

Such is life that the lucky few always have time to spend with the unlucky ones, but never have time to spend for them. For this no one is at fault, but nevertheless things are as they are. Maybe the blessed ones never realise how much they mean to the ones who spend their lives in pursuit of the lesser blessings, the small glimpes, the passing smiles, the happy times that flutter away with the slighest gust of wind. Is it all because of an unexplained, unjustified dependence on another for your happiness, something that should lie within youself is being searched for in foreign lands where you have no legitimate jurisdiction. It is of no use to think of things that are not meant to be, someone had once told, but that sort of diction suits those who have got what they deserved and more. I ask today why I am not entitled to your love,is it because I am what I am, or because I am not what someone else is. At times I wish not to regret what is not, but the trappings of a human mind in it's thousand entrails is an unexplored and unexplained terrain. I promised to myself that I would never wish ill about anyone you hold dear. I hope I have been honest enough with myself about my thoughts and feelings, and I can proudly say to myself, if not to you, that if the desire of having you as my own is discounted, I have never wished for anything but happiness for the person you call your own.

I have a dream, a vision too,
That one fine day I'll be with you
You shall be mine, i will be yours
We'll happily gaze at those beautiful shores.

O why is it only a dream
My mind asks in a silent scream
Why can we not be truly one
Is my fate just so fully undone

I wish you luck before I end
To you my hand please let me lend
If not in love then just in hope
So you get as much as you can cope.
