Payday

The incessant rains doesnt dampen you
nor does the chillness in the wind
The loneliness at work doesnt bother you
nor does the daily grind

because its payday!

Instinct

when lips part and grow into a smile
when all care is thrown to the winds
when the heart beckons and you succumb
thats when thought comes after instinct

Fear

it swallows your confidence
as it gnaws at your heart
it overwhelms you
and tears you apart

it plants seeds of self-doubt
as it swells up inside your head
it makes life a living hell
and makes you wish you were dead

Melancholy

the city bustles in my head
as it continues on its never ending search
azure skies slowly turn red
but melancholy i sense from my perch

Nature vs Man

One by one the raindrops fall on the concrete
miracle of nature meets that of man
who shall triumph is out of the question
for in the end we shall become the 'also ran'

Capture them before they flee

Capture the fleeting moments of brilliance
capture them before they flee
Save them for those times of self-doubt
and you shall face life confidently
Treasure them for the times when you are down
and they shall fill you with glee
Capture the fleeting moments of brilliance
capture them before they flee.

Secrets

I had a few secrets
i had hid them well
then i found the truth
so i bid them farewell

Priority

On what do I base my priorities?
Why do I have to please them all?
Oh why must I be biased?
Why cannot I do justice to all?

To what purpose?

What is the purpose of my existence?

My dream machine

Made of metal you may be
but a mind of your own you have
sleek, smooth and splendidly crafted
unsurpassed beauty you own

a glutton you are but feed you i will
for when you breathe fire others burn
and when you stretch your legs and run
the only thing that revs faster is my heart

Indifference

I stared at their torn and tattered sight
I stared with indifference at their plight
This non-chalance fills me with fright
I need to change I need to set things right
We with all our worldly riches and might
Why cant we clench our fists a little less tight?

Choice is an illusion

Remote in hand you think you have control
control of what you see, of what you hear.
But wait!
This freedom of choice is merely an illusion
for programmed to perfection, we are!

Promises

A promise made to self
is the hardest to keep

A promise made to others
is the hardest to break

A promise made to none
is the hardest to achieve

Unique?

I was staring through the window
staring at people passing by
i was looking out for uniqueness.

Scores of people passed by
and even time flew by
but i could barely find any.

Slowly realization dawned upon me
i was only looking at forms
i never got to watch their faces!

i opened the windows
i shed all barriers
i opened my mind.

i saw happiness, i saw sorrow
i saw pain, i saw emotion
more importantly.. i found uniqueness

Bliss

You know you are experiencing bliss when

food in your mouth melts like butter on a hot frying pan
you are listening to comfortably numb at 4 in the morning
its about to rain and the earth smells sweeter than any perfume

you catch a glimpse of her face when the wind lifts a tuft of her hair

Savour them while they last.

The Longest yard

Went to The Longest Yard
laughed long and hard

can at least watch it once
for chris rock's great puns

The wo's

The woe's and worries of life
are women and work!

The rollercoaster

Up up and up it went
inch by inch, excruciatingly slow

my heart up my throat it sent
for the air it was about to plough

down paths, twisted and bent
hurtling down to the earth below

screaming to my hearts content
till my heart i again did swallow

The test of time

One after one, relentlessly
dagger like questions were hurled at me

navigate through the maze, i did
and faced them all calm and placid

i now sleep till the bells again chime
For i had withstood the test of time
