Random Thoughts

As a child, while I walked this path so many times
I never did think that one day life would be so different
that one day I would fall in love with this sunset

Today as I watch the winding road
meander into the shimmering woods
I remember those long lost days of childhood bliss
Those casual chilly evening walks
those soft soothing small talks
the regular bursts of infectious laughter
those ever stretching smiles of unbounded joy

And when, love, it took its first flight
soaring across the infinite sky
A hundred wishes were born together
painted with one never-dying belief
that love would endure every pain.

But soon, love was lost to love's demand
crushed and trampled,it hoped for revival,
Aching and crying, the heart, it bled.
The gift that was, is now no more.
And now I remember the pain
I rememeber our silent walk in the rain.

Last night I dreamt,
I dreamt of the green meadows,
the misty valleys
and the beautiful mountains.
last night I dreamt of you


Last night I thought
I thought of the times we spent
laughing and playing
singing songs of everlasting love
last night I thought of you


Last night I wished
I wished for our life together
of happy sunshine
lighting up rainbow colored dreams
last night I wished for you


Every night I prayed,
I prayed that someday somewhere
I'll meet you once again
to live those dreams I dreamt with you
every night I prayed for you.

When the sunlight melts into twilight
and the pale moon decks up the evening sky
I'll think of those magical moments we had
and my heart will mutter a silent cry


Far away from a distant land, I know
You would long to re-live our world of dreams
but entwined by the viscious tentacles of fate
you would succumb to destiny's unfair schemes


The fairylands would be there no more
and the woods would be lost in the mists of time
but the memories of these times will forever stay
when life was like a perfect rhyme


Life would go on as it always did
and the world would also be just the same
but somewhere deep within my heart,i would
long to keep alive that flickering flame.

How come I never realised your worth
when you were always there with me
and now when you have gone so far away
I realise that I have lost you forever

maybe it wasn't love
but it was the best thing I had ever felt
when for a moment I held your hand
as we walked in the drizzling rain.

splashing the rain water around
you laughed childishly at me
but lost in the whirlpool of mixed emotions
I smiled and I left your hand

life has gone a long way now
and fate has parted our ways
but on lonely rainy nights
I wish you were still there with me

To listen to the rain drops
whispering tales of long lost moments
to look in your eyes, to laugh with you
to hold your hand again..

It was dark like this the other day
when life, it turned the other way.

my world instantly came tumbling down,
and yesterday's king became today's clown.

As if to mourn my fate's call,
Nature cast a gloomy pall

Thundershowers lashed the earth
waking man from his blisfull mirth

My eyes sifted through the heavy rain
as i gauged the depth of my inner pain

blurred images played on my mind's eye
of countless moments that just passed us by

moments of sorrow, moments of joy,
lost in the midst of fate's whimsical ploy


life for me will ne'er be the same
coz i've lost my all in the final game

It was dark like this the other day
when life, it turned its face away.

From the unblemished childhood
Through the years of fragile adolescence
As time leads man to the threshold of adulthood,
Swelling with the sense of self-pride
He leaps out to welcome this new change.
And like a bird on its first flight,
His mind sets out to capture greater heights,
to explore the vastness beyond the horizons
with the eagerness to take in all that life could offer.
And, riding on this spirit of newfound freedom
with an insatiable quest for adventure
and an unquenchable thirst to achieve more,
he builds his dreams to eternity.

The moon smiles,
as it cradles in the arms of the night.
My heart cries,
as it realizes your absence by my side.
All the sweet kisses,
I gave you in my dreams.
All the beautiful dreams,
I had dreamt in your name,
How feebly have they all,
shattered before my eyes,
and how helplessly I realize,
that you will never be mine again.
But with a thousand
moonlit nights in your name,
and a thousand
beautiful dreams in my heart,
I’ll wait for you…

I feel a sweet softness within me
as the milk of love, flows through the intricacies of my heart.
The hardness around me melts into a soft tenderness
and a strange weakness grips my entire self.
My breath becomes heavier and deeper
as, for hours I stare into oblivion.
My eyes now thirst for one vision
and my mind is filled with that one thought
and amidst this peaceful chaos I realize
That unknowingly somewhere I have fallen in love.

Beneath the dark clouds of gloom,
people yearn for a ray of hope.
A little hope that could sustain their lives,
as the deadly rot eats into the decaying society.
The decay creeps into human hearts,
wiping away the last drops of humanity.
And, when immorality rules the human minds,
Culture and tradition becomes things of the past
And, society becomes a barren stretch of lifeless monuments,
Where relationships are based on personal gains,
made and broken at each ones convenience,
where hearts are torn apart
and every drop of blood cries out for revenge.
And, when mankind survives at the edge of extinction
life becomes an ocean of death
death of humanity, of human feelings.

When the sun has dipped below the horizon,
And the moon rises to take its place
When the stars shower graces upon the tired earth
And the nocturnal insects resume their nightly chores
Far away from the touch of humanity
I sleep in the arms of solitude.

So many times,
My eyes met hers
And every time
my heart missed a beat
So many times I asked myself
Is it love or something else?

So many times,
I had felt her eyes on me
And had seen
that calm and distant look
So many times I had thought
Was it love or something else?

So many times,
I saw the smile on her face
And had seen
That sparkle in her eyes
So many times I had wondered
Was it for me or for someone else?

So many times,
On lonely moonlit nights
I held her hands
And kissed her in my dreams
So many times I cried silently
And hoped my dreams come true.

So many times,
I thought she wanted to say something
But she never did
And let her silence haunt my nights
Many, many times I had wished
If only I could know a girl’s heart.

As I stand here and gaze,
up at the silent corridors.
My eyes search for that familiar face
that face I had sought after years ago
that slowly spreading smile
those deep dreamy eyes
that lit a thousand flames within me

Suddenly I was taken back in time
I was standing in the same place
surrounded by happy smiling faces
I look up to the crowded corridors
Among the faceless crowd one face stands out
So radiant, so distinct
So fresh like the morning flower
Standing there she seemed to hold
the key to all my happiness.
For a moment it seemed
she was looking at me, and then, she smiled
but I was lost long ago
lost in the mistiness of her eyes

Slowly the mist clears away
and I find myself back in the present
I am still staring at the empty corridors
the crowd has gone
the face has gone
Only silence prevailed
and a sad realization
that the flame I thought had died years ago
still flickered deep in my heart
beneath the thick layers of dust,
that has gathered with the passage of time.
