Singing dreams

I'm living a dream in the infinity of time
where the grass grows big and the sky turns white
but beauty stands still and the heart still decides
When my dream sings out to the tune inside

the feelings rush forward from the back of my mind
when i was young and my heart was kind
and summer love was never denied
So my dream sings out to the tune inside.

they all say it's impossible to hide
the truth of things that do provide
all meaning to life and the force to tide
When my dream sings out to the tune inside.

when we're old and too fragile to dance
i'll hold your hand and take the chance
to anger time and make death hide
because my dream sings out to the tune inside.

reason to love is reason to die
but not reason enough to never try
to free all the passions that never abide
to the dream that sings out to the tune inside.

when the music plays and hope prevails
when the drama stops and the actors laze
when the end is over to let freedom glide
my dream still sings out to the tune inside.

work a day or work a year
or work forever to bring your future near
but never work to let your present die
cause my dream sings out to the tune inside.

magic makes the traveller strong
for the paths he treads are never wrong
with the companion i sleep besides
when my dream sings out to the tune inside.

when she speaks to you in twisted tongues
or wraps you in her amorous buns
wait for her mind to break and heart decide
cause the dream sings out to the tune inside.

My message to the today's world.

FUCK YOU.

i don't need your shit.
i don't need your names
your labels
your ideals
your beliefs
your desires
your needs
your greed
your lack of knowledge
your lack of care
your ignorance
your bliss
your hidden agenda
your disdain
your arrogance
your relevance
your disbelief
your reasons
your obsessions
your faith
your empathy
your sympathy
your change
your useless games
your fantasies
your props
your culture
your diversity
your comforts
your attitude
your disgust
your anguish
your language
your trechery
your bigotry
your thrills
your skills
your slangs
your skanks
your justice
your thought
your hate
your peace
your anguish
your music
your pace
your games
your aims.

FUCK YOU.

Filling the void

we're made of insecurities
you, me and everyone else
and while the world tries to avoid them
i quietly learn to abate them
tempt them with tales of gold
trap them with insecurities of their own.
she made the decision
and we wept on open shores
our tears mixing with the seas
our hopes seeming further than they'll ever be
lightning struck
and burnt my thoughts to coal
then thunder followed
and drowned my voice as i questioned god
and then there was the rain
that washed my sins away
lying on the beach
the questions still unanswered
those of being good enough
honest enough
smart enough
or even strong enough
i wrapped myself in the open arms of the sand
and woke up naked to the bone
the slush of rain and sand had corroded my skin
and i could now feel.
feel the gravel under my toes as they wiggled free
feel the burning under my skin
feel the rain cleanse my body and soul
feel the emotions fill up that gaping hole
i was one again
and i was i
i was we
and we were truly free
wearing nothing but a smile
i walked the haunted road
back to the life of mine
i will not let them win
i will not ruin everything
i will not go astray
i will not hide today
i will not be locked up
i wil lnot be talked at
i will not stand for pain
i will not change with gain
i will not take it slow
i will never let her know

Nothing.

i am the nothing you long to go home to
i am the nothing you wait to do
i am the nothing you become
i am the nothing and everything under the sun
i am the nothing that makes you free
i am the nothing that just lets you be
i am the nothing that changes all
i am the nothing that breaks your fall
i am the nothing you hope to change
i am the nothing you live to gain
i am the nothing that breaks you
i am the nothing that takes you
i am the nothing that makes the world
i am the nothing that you can't control
i am the nothing at the end
i am the nothing inside a friend
i am the nothing in the air
i am the nothing that scares
i am the nothing that comes with the morning sun
i am the nothing that leaves the smoking gun
i am the nothing in the drop of morning dew
i am the nothing inside a special few
i am the nothing that helps you live
i am the nothing that you can't forgive
i am the nothing in outer space
i am the nothing you can't erase
i am the nothing you sleep with
i am the nothing you hit
i am the nothing that's been holding you down
i am the nothing that's left town
i am the nothing inside an empty bottle
i am the nothing pushes the throttle
i am the nothing hidden between words
i am the nothing that you've given up on
i am the nothing worth living for
i am the nothing worth fighting for
i am the nothing that hides your passion
i am the nothing that controls your actions
i am the nothing you love to hate
i am the nothing you'll always debate
i am the nothing that never leaves your mind
i am the nothing that changes time
i am the nothing that needs saying
i am the nothing you always keep praying
i am the nothing you gives you hope
i am the nothing that you always grope
i am the nothing that leads the way
i am the nothing that makes you sway
i am the nothing you drink
i am the nothing that brings you back from the brink
i am the nothing hitting you in the face
i am the nothing saves you from disgrace
i am the nothing that adds to the beat
i am the nothing in the summer heat
i am the nothing inside
i am the nothing besides
i am the nothing for
i am the nothing against
i am the nothing that sets you free
i am the nothing that lets you be.
i am nothing.
i am nothing.

Another one of those days.

Among other things remained the days
Of long forgotten friendships
Lives, thoughts and dreams
all mixed up and told as one.
The stories used to be the same,
the characters straight out of the book
All ready to face the world.

Somewhere in the middle
the path broke away and left the decision to each
each to his own, his own path to glory
one further away from the other
one close to each
and one furthest away from both

Independence to each
the paths met halfway for storytelling
one would talk while the others listened
and we were one again
for that split second which would last a lifetime

reminding them of the days that had passed
time spent alone
gaining confidence, trust and sympathy from time
lasting no longer than a day
their lives were waiting
nothing could stop them.

coming together again each time gloom struck
'fair weather friends' was no longer a term
strength, determination and courage
one stood for each
and all together.

the good old days
were never coming back
they were sick of being the only saviours
to men that once were
constantly being reminded of all the possibilities
that lurked, waited in their minds to happen
but some thoughts die waiting to become reality
and others never do
they just prod and pinch from their hidden layer
in the minds of whom they love
a constant reminder.

together one last time
the glory days were back
in the brain and the heart
it's never too late for company
feelings sought out dance with joy
they can roam free and limitless
love whomever, wherever, whenever they want.

Aur Kya?

Zinda dilo ki dhandkan
Mujhemein sama jaye toh kya?
Mil jaye jab teeno
Zindagi simmat jaye toh kya?

Har chehre par say nakab uth gaye toh kya?
Un aasuoon ke boojh say
Dharati hil jaye toh kya

Zinda chale us mode par
Jahaan aasmaan mile toh kya?
Jahan ko, haath mein utha lekar
peeh gaye toh kya?

sab sapne hamare, apahij ban gaye toh kya?
chalte chalte woh ludak gaye toh kya?
phir uhtne ka hausala unme hai toh kya?
chalke phir meri jaan banane ka intazar hai toh kya?

Hamari zamanat ka raaz mil gaya toh kya?
Iqraar kare jo humse, hamari jaan nahin toh kya?
uska naam milte milte, jamaana badal gaya toh kya?
janta hai dil mera, tumhara nahin toh kya

Another take at patriotism

Paida huey toh dhool chad gayi chehre par

Dhool ki sugand say mitti ka ahsaas hua

Mitti haath may lekar jeb may rakhli

Soochte baad mein mehsoos karenge…

Thode aur bade honepar , jeb mein haath daala

Chalte thay ehsaas lekar, bharat ka naam roshan karenge…

Un dino ki baat alag thi

Voh zamana kuch aur tha

Baat karte jis jabaan mein, vohi rehti dil mein.

Maa ne jab jeb dekhi, chilla uthi mujh par

Mujhe chaata lagakar mitti haath mein rakhdi

“ kyu uthalata hai dhool ko roj apne saath?”

Usse kya maalum us mitti ka mahatva jo rakkhi thi meri haath

is mitti mein mera jivan hai maa, is mitti mein meri jaan hai,

bol pada mai apne bachpan mein, yay is desh ki maan hai…

pakadna chaha jab is mitti ko jor say, haath say nikalte rahi…

college mein pahonchte, sirf ek kankar raha haath mein

us kankar ko dhoondte jamaana gujar gaya

videsh gaya jab, vah mila usi haath mein…

us sugandh ko lekar lag gaya videshi kaam mein

desh ki yaad aati jab usi haath ko soongleta

soochta vakt milnepar jaoonga kiss hal mein…

apne desh ki yaad mein us rayth kay kankar ko dhekha

magar vah haath say nikal kar ja bethi dimag mein

ab khali haath mein khujli thi us mitti kay ehsaas ki

ab apne desh jaoonga har haal mein.
