Sweet drops of silence,
The venomous glint of the eyes.
Holding onto the sole saviour,
That kept them from melting away.
As he walked the road less taken,
Wondering about the endless possibilities.
The sheer brilliance of her existence,
Took him far away from reality.
The two entities were on a collision course,
Unless someone diverted their paths.
The catastrophe that lied ahead,
Left their predicament all in force.
Denial of the obvious was his crime,
The voice of his conscience was too loud.
He could not feel what his soul craved for,
Could not read what his mind wrote.
When the rendezvous finally happened,
Sparks flew off in all directions.
None could make out one from the other,
Their bittersweet fate of damnation.

I don't know !!
Do you know yourself,
As well as I know you?
Or do you keep contemplating,
Searching for a clue?
Confusion is your source of desperation,
An enigma of some sort.
Eccentricity is an obsession,
Naivete, your sole possession.
You come across as a wonder,
A sparkle in the still waters.
Your smile lights up the sky,
The silence takes me into a trance.
Why are you always on my mind,
Like a voice inside my head.
You speak to me in a quiet hush,
Reminding me of my fantasy.
I wish you were for real,
That you had a mortal soul.
A bloom which I could hold,
Like a petal you'd unfold.

The Beast Within !!
Life is not measured by the number of breaths that we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Life is lived in a continuous set of phases. You realize the importance of a phase only when its time to move on to the next one. While you are living out the phase that you are in, you are totally oblivious to the existence of space and time and world around you. That's just because things are so stable and move so slowly that you get seriously bored of it. Bored of it like hell.
Then, when the transition arrives, you start to realize how you did not live each moment to the fullest and how much you would love to turn back the clocks and be blissful all over again. Things, they have a habit of changing. Everything in this world has a nature of adapting to the environment and the changing surroundings. The one's who can change are the one's who survive. The rest are lost in the annals of history.
Change is something that I hate. I loathe change. I detest change. Change is always for the worse. I might be speaking the language of an ever pessimist but that's truly what I believe. Sadly for me, I too know that change is the only inevitable truth. But I just hate it when somebody tells me about it. I just hate it. Everyone knows about this fact, so why do they have to keep preaching the same old blasphemy to everyone else.
We human beings were actually supposed to be animals. What makes us different is that we have emotions and a conscience that tells us the difference between the correct and the incorrect things to do. Somehow I feel though, that being an animal is the best way to live. Everyone keeps reminding everyone else that to be successful one has to be ruthless and barbaric and all. What I make of such people is that they are not human beings. Their lust for success drives them insane and transforms them into brainless animals who are just looking for opportunities to pounce on the prey that comes first on their radar. They do reach the heights of fame, but sometimes I wonder how much they would have lost in getting there. Is everything that they have left behind worth the result that they have achieved ?
No one is genetically programmed to love and care for anyone else. Its always a physical need that drives two people closer and the society around them that puts a garb on that surreal bonding annotating it with meaningful names like relationship. Everyone in this world is living for their own self. The emotions and the feelings and the connection is all a farce. Every animal is programmed to love their offspring. Any other connection between to entities is an eyewash.
Expectation is the root cause of all misery, disappointment and anguish. Once you learn to be free of all the bonds and not expect anything from anyone, only then can you find true happiness. The redemption does not lie without, it lies within. All that one has got to do is to look for it. No one should be scared of expressing what they feel like. The only thing to remember is that when someone is expressing themselves, one should not read in between the lines. Its important to take people at their face value and believe that they mean what they say and they say what they mean. Live the life of a cynic but not that of a pessimist. Everyone in this world is going to hurt you one time or the other. Some of them are just worth the pain.

They Come, They Go !!
They come, they go,
Little do they know.
I am a tiny little speck,
In this great big wreck.
They come, they go,
Like water they flow.
I am next to a crumb,
All my senses are numb.
They come, they go,
Rain or shine, storm or snow.
I keep standing still,
As if in a drill.
They come, they go,
When will they ever grow.
I lend a helping hand,
To my brothers in the marching band.
They come, they go,
Will they ever be able to show.
I for one would never say never,
Only if they knew that friends are forever.
Little do they know.
I am a tiny little speck,
In this great big wreck.
They come, they go,
Like water they flow.
I am next to a crumb,
All my senses are numb.
They come, they go,
Rain or shine, storm or snow.
I keep standing still,
As if in a drill.
They come, they go,
When will they ever grow.
I lend a helping hand,
To my brothers in the marching band.
They come, they go,
Will they ever be able to show.
I for one would never say never,
Only if they knew that friends are forever.

The poison of first Love !!
A girl is lucky,
If she is a man's first love.
A man is lucky,
If he is the girl's last.
I walk this wilderness,
As lonely as a dark cloud.
There isn't a silver lining,
In the annals of my fate.
I know how it is to be in love,
As pristine and pure as it can be.
When I was possessed and obsessed,
Your comfort was a bliss.
You have chosen a new path for yourself,
I vacillate between the two extremes.
When I try to get over my past,
You hit me back with your wild innocence.
I have sulked and I have cried,
Those tears I wept were meant for you.
They helped me move on with my life,
Why does now, the past haunt you.
I wish you well, is all I wish,
As much as I am going to miss.
Those thoughts that I etched deep within,
Some memories which truly are mine.
I am trying to reason your eccentricities,
Why you laughed when you cried.
This endless search is my home,
You and me all alone.
If she is a man's first love.
A man is lucky,
If he is the girl's last.

As lonely as a dark cloud.

Romance Unlimited !!
Its been so long that I 've known you,
Now I wonder, if I really know you.
Its been so long that I 've seen you,
Now I wonder, if I ve really seen you.
When I look at your face,
My eyes just cant see anything but your eyes.
Your stare pierces my flesh like a sword,
Then you ease the pain with your smile.
I imagine a life without you,
Then I realize I am already living one.
I imagine a life with you,
And the whole world just transforms.
Pondering and contemplating is all that I do,
Someday I will be there with you.
By your side, I will be resting,
Heaven wont be far away.
I meet you and my heart starts thumping,
Reminding me of its existence.
Every single time that I see you,
My thoughts are all over the place.
May the dream come true, my sweet Lord,
Wish that I see you soon.
That one day we could be together,
Just staring at the big white moon.
Now I wonder, if I really know you.

Love of the Evil !!
Optimists say that one should be glad when the worst has happened, since things can only get better from there on. Well, what do the optimists know !!
There are points in everyone's lifetime when they are so down and low that you feel that it just cannot get worse. Then suddenly the abyss that you are in, decides to give you another shocker. Deep down in that trench of darkness and gloom you realize how helpless it is to fight your fate. You realize how you are doomed to misery and grief all your life.
As soon as you accept the fact that you are a helpless soul in the middle of a deserted island, things begin to change. It is a sort of revelation that comes as a bolt from the sky. Life never ceases to surprise me. The emotion and the drama that unfolds each and every passing moment is worth every second that you breathe.
What is this life, that we have been graced with, by the God almighty, really meant for? Is it just meant for getting up everyday with a sense of hope, struggling your way the whole day and then coming back to the same dungeon at the end of the day licking your wounds from the battles you fought all day long. Is it a routine that we are supposed to follow or is there some message in all this. Does He want us to break free and wander in search of the ultimate truth, the treasure of absolute happiness.
When you surrender to your destiny, the game that unfolds is quite a marvel. They say that life is lived every moment. Every moment should be cherished and made worth remembering. Satisfaction comes not to those who chase it, but to those who have become oblivious to the fact that it even exists. Human beings were meant to be depressed souls searching for gratification all their lives, not knowing the fact that the sheer pleasure lies in destruction itself.
Sadistic pleasures are a fact of life. It is so simple to be happy but so difficult to be simple. Learning to appreciate the evil in you is the only way out of your misery. The love of the evil is the carnal sin that every living soul in this disconsolate universe is supposed to undertake, for, the demise of the worldly desires is the beginning of the highway to perdition.
