LET ME DOWN

I just want to say let me down
Because I think I fear the height
Where you want me to escalate
For now I do need some respite

Unable to withstand suffocation
From the place where I belong
With the sense of restlessness
Coz I think I’m not that strong

The altitude seems quite high
But the stamina cannot match
And the efforts wishes to halt
Hence from ties, let me detach

With tryst to get free I wriggle
For this climb just doesn’t end
And success seems worthless
I feel it’ll be better to descend

For the inclination's quite steep
From where I really fear the fall
So I wish to preserve my energy
Coz later I don't want to crawl

Achievements now just amuse
And with my heart can’t comply
For now I want to take retreat
And now my desires I won’t defy

ONE LAST NIGHT

Lonesome in the darkness
Thoughts again set to sail
In high sea of imagination
That sight couldn’t curtail

Shimmering stars guiding
Moonlight showing ways
Trying to rekindle hearts
By setting emotions ablaze

Spreading feel of warmth
Into the whole atmosphere
Developing in confidence
Removing angst and fear

Yet sleep refused the eyes
And restlessness in silence
Indulged me throughout
Preparing for long absence

Leaving for the journey
Without any destinations
Along a route never taken
Having no halt or stations

With a continuous walk
Along an endless passage
Hoping for a steak of light
So the night comes of age

THINKING OF YOU

Thinking of you now like never before
The feel of love seems more and more
Overwhelming emotions like high tide
And waves breaking beyond the shore

The thoughts burns like candles bright
Illuminating both the heart and souls
The light then reflect n’ refracts along
Playing to the ears the musical score

Creating sounds that exhibit serenity
Tuning the dreams and imaginations
Into an atmosphere of contentment
As from clouds of hope, smiles pour

Moistening all feelings that I possess
And also creating a sense of warmth
Evaporating the anxiety and worries
Exuding the care n’ affection in galore

A new acuity that earlier didn’t exist
With feeling as if being on cloud nine
Sailing through the winds of the dream
Which leads the identity to extempore

DUST

It is dust from where I have risen
And its dust in which I’ll be buried
Along with all the tears I had cried
And the blood too that did bleed

Almost everything turned to dust
Being carried by the gust of wind
Settling and then scattering away
Along with the desires and greed

Everything seemed meaningless
All the wishes and the ambitions
And from the burden of survival
Finally a feeling as if being freed

Wins and losses that did accrue
Now were just timid occurrences
As now no regrets for the failure
Neither any aspiration to succeed

Presently indulged in nothingness
Feeling as if being with the winds
Without direction or destinations
As there isn’t anything else I need

ME OR MY SHADOW

It’s me or my shadow, along the trail
Often follow and also being followed
Through a light flamboyant else pale
By light dim n’ dying which glowed

Both think alike or their belief differ
A load or a support that is bestowed
Dragging along, carrying throughout
While the energy constantly flowed

Walls and grounds reflecting images
Disappearing but which also crowed
Maneuvering and moving amazingly
Diligently, swiftly sometimes slowed

Is it a real perception or a fake image
Shadowing or powering my identity
Or may be it attempts to camouflage
All blessings that have been endowed

Whether a follower or stalker of mine
Appearing and disappearing at times
In the gesture that seems clandestine
Along which my wisdom gets stowed

A NEW MORNING

Gradually the sun lifted itself
But not amidst the two peaks
Of the usual mountain ranges
By where ray of light streaks

Also not from the end of seas
Where it seemed to lift itself
From beneath the blue waters
Towards a new world to delve

It is not just a source of light
But brings about rays of hope
Penetrating inside the hearts
Where all grief it’ll envelope

Leaving just happiness to last
Spreading the feeling all over
Bringing about the strengths
And above good omen hover

As last spot of darkness gone
It’s now new morning ahead
Brightening upon your spirits
Let this light scatter n’ spread

And illuminate just everything
Almost as a welcome surprise
Breaking thro’ from anywhere
Helping the dead spirits to rise
