Set Me Free

now i think i know

why i always failed

because once i promised you i will come

but, on you, i bailed

i told you i will build a ship for us

but when i made it, alone, on it, i sailed

you expected a nice and a beautiful rain

but instead, because of me, it hailed

As i cannot say i didnt know

why i did what i did

so i suffered the consequence

for your tears that came from my bid

i know i cannot take back the nights

when you cried alone

waiting for my call

while sitting next to your phone

but now, all i have left in my life

is you and i beg you, i am on my knee

i ask you to forgive me once,

and from my biggest mistake, set me free

Dreams - I

In this life, When nothing is as it seems

then We take it on ourself to make real our dreams

everyone dream for their own reason

some dream for sunshine and some for rainy season

the question some people ask is that

can really all dreams come true

to that i said "you can not get

oranges from where apples grew"

but the thing is that i can be wrong

about power of a person's dreams

because if his will is strong

even a weakling can defeat great teams

you see, our dreams areas grand as our imagination

if a dream turns to reality,a person can move a nation

though you cannot control your dreams

but your dreams can control you in every way

because in order to get what you dreamt

it tells you how to act and what to say

so i think, this unconventional relation 

between you and your dreams, you cannot break

you can simply just be persistant

about getting what you want, for your dream's sake

My Two Worlds

Watching things as they pass me by
Some of them are truth, some of them are lie

Sometimes i look at the ground
Sometimes i loop up to the sky
Sometimes, for no reason, i laugh, 
sometimes, for no reason, i cry

I am divided between two worlds
One is mine and one is not
One was created by me
And in the other i was brought

One is full of hope
And the other cruel and real
In one i don't speak anything
And in the other i say what i feel

My heart works in one
But my mind works in two
Even when i am sitting idle in one
In the other i have so much to do

For the past few years
I am in the middle of a battle
Both worlds are trying
To prove their mettle

It does not matter which one wins
Because i will end up with the loss
Either i will end up insane
Or end up on a cross

Our Fights

We live in a world
Where no distance is too far
We all are living together here
Yet we all are fighting our own war

Some fight for their freedom
Some fight to enslave
Some fight to kill
Some fight to save

Some fight to be alive
Some fight for a quick death
Some fight to count their money
Some fight for a single bed

Some fight for a peaceful sleep
Some fight to keep themselves awake
Some fight to give back to people
Some fight to steal what they lack

Some fight to make themselves heard
Some fight to keep others quiet
Some fight to raise a issue
Some fight to create a riot

Some fight for their lost love
Some fight with whom they get along
Some fight to make things right
Some fight over all things wrong

Still my mind is fighting my hands
As there are lot of fights it wants to tell
But my hands are telling my mind
Why write everyones personal hell......

Need A Reason To Go On

Anything i ever wanted 
or ever had is now gone
I cant do this anymore
I have no reason to go on

The future i don't know
And present i cant control
I do not understand this world
I do not understand my role
This confusion, this powerlessness
Now Has taken its toll
My body wants to fight
But it is getting difficult for my soul

Everything goes right till
In the end where it all goes wrong
As soon as i build or arrange a block
A little later nothing is where it should belong

I wonder sometimes is this life
Really a gift or god just was looking for fun
Was it given to us to cherish
Or was it god's best pun

In the end i want to say this to god
I have fought many battles but none i have won
Give me a sign, tell me where this life headed
Because right now i am desperately looking for a reason to go on

My Confession

Listen to me
to something, I want to confess
I don't know how
I turned out to be such a mess

I confess to being most of the times wrong
I confess about not telling the truth for so long

I confess I am hurt and there is no cure
I confess that I was never ever so sure

I confess to not listening to anyone around
I confess that, to nothing or no one I am bound

I confess that I loved someone from my heart
but I do confess I never listened to my heart

Now as I see where I am
I have a last thing to confess
If I had done some good in my days
May be my life would have been blessed

A Human Being

One day I asked someone
Are you alright?
Instead of replying
he started to pick a fight
I said easy does it horsy
I was just trying to help
To that he said screw you
I don't need no help
So I nodded my head
I took the road ahead
Thinking all along
What the hell did I said

Ahead I saw a girl trying
To start her new car
I went to her and told her
There is a place not far
Where she can get it fixed
I told her I can help her 

by getting her car picked
What came next, for me,
Was a complete surprise
Suddenly the trap door closed
I was a stupid mice
She started yelling aloud
She called everyone around
As I saw every face
They were ready to go a few rounds
I told everyone I was just trying
To help the lady out
I seriously don't understand
What the shout was all about
They all said better go now
While we still allow
You should respect women, they said
They are sacred as the cow
To that I saluted them
With a face full of smile
They taught me the lesson
Which they were being taught for a while

so I started walking again
On the course I was on
Asking myself, by helping others,
What have I won
I think Everybody has forgotten
That we are a human before a being
I see their eyes are open
So how can they see what they are seeing
I think it's better to close my eyes forever
Then to witness this wickedness spread
Living life is so much more than
Breaking the daily bread

Dont Need Love

i dont need love
to make me feel right
i dont need love
to fight my fight

i dont need love
to show me the way
i dont need love
to start my day

i dont need love
to pick me up when i am down
i dont need love
to get away from my frown

i dont need love
when i succeed or when i fail
i dont need love
for which a long time i have to tail

i guess its unnatural
that i dont need love
maybe to me its not a gentle feeling
maybe, for me, it is a shove

My Heart, My Soul and My Life

My heart, My soul are yours to take
Please come here, I feel forsake

Your role in my life
is bigger than that of God
My life is a guitar
and you are the perfect chord

Everything will be good
till you will be there
With your hand in my hand,
Every pain I will bear

What i said is nothing when
compared what I have in my mind
Its just that there are no words
to describe you, and I really tried to find

I hope you understand by now
what you mean to me
My hand now waits for yours
As I am on one knee
So Come here and
make my world whole
In my hand, for you,
I hold my soul

Misunderstood

When you did not accept me
I don't see how this world would
I was destined to be alone
I was destined to be misunderstood

To stop you from leaving me
I did everything I could
Except for saying something
Maybe, that's why, in your eyes
I am misunderstood

Its not a friendship until with your friend,
in a fight, with him, you stood
so because I lack the skill to confront
Among my friends, I was misunderstood

I did not turned out to be the person
You all hoped I would
So you turned your eyes from me
After telling me "you will always be misunderstood"

People asked me to change everytime
Looking back in time, I think I should!
May be when I change myself
May be then I would not be misunderstood

Decision

Whenever I see you walking towards me 
My hearts tells me that It wants you to stay 
From the time you are in front of me till the 
Time you pass by, anything I cannot say 

I still have my hand in the position 
to hold your hand 
my heart is ready, its my darn mind 
that makes me silently stand 
I want to listen to my heart 
And run to you to ask what I want to ask 
But my mind keeps reminding me 
Is all the effort worth for this task 

I always end up hurt when my mind 
and heart pull each of my arm 
And there is no referee to decide 
When to sound the alarm 
My problem is I cannot decide When to choose my heart and when my mind 
I spoke with many sages and they all said that 
this knowledge is hard to find 

All this goes inside of me every time 
I want something to be mine 
How can you except from me, 
With so much going on, to walk a straight line

Incomplete Things

Poets half written poem, the incomplete song a singer sings 
nobody appreciates any of the incomplete things 

Without saying "I love you", empty gestures are those diamond rings 
Nobody understands the real meaning behind incomplete things 

Like, With no kingdom and with no queen there can be no king 
Life becomes void if your's is filled with incomplete things 

A birds beauty is when it flies by flapping its wings 
Its better to never have started then to be left with incomplete things 

As our eyes get rest whenever we blink 
Our minds are at rest when we complete those incomplete things


:Ishant

Light

The time you open your eyes 
I am the first thing you see 
Your life start when I come 
And it ends without me 

With me around, you make peace 
As well as you start some fight 
I am the only reason because of 
Which You see with your sight 

People allow me 
to live in their heart 
I help them appreciate 
all the work of art 

When I am in your mind and soul 
I keep you happy, you always smile 
I make you realize what is real 
And what will not last even for a while 

With me, you know what is wrong 
And what, for all, is right 
I was here from the start, I am and 
I will be here after you, I am "ray of light"...... 


:Ishant

Give Me Peace

I bought a house and a car on lease 
But somehow I knew these things 
Will not give me peace 

So I tried to find it in nature 
In its infinite sea and in its trees 
When I didn't found it I realized 
What I have to do to get some peace 

I know I did things I am not proud of 
I ask you to forgive me please 
I have been killing myself everyday 
All I ask you is to give me peace 

I cannot run away from past memories 
They tear my conscious piece by piece 
Just so that I could sleep one night 
I want to ask you to give me peace 

The pain I put you through dissipated 
And you moved on after a while with ease 
But I will never will be able to move on until you forgive me
as you are the one who can give me peace

Missed Chances

We all sometime realize 
That we have missed some chances 
For some it is their career And for some 
its not recognizing the smallest of glances 

For some its not opening the door 
when opportunity comes knocking 
For some its not speaking 
When they are supposed to be talking 

For some its not building 
A house that they wanted 
For some its not accepting 
What they were, by god, granted 

For some its missing the light 
At the crossroad of a dark road 
For some its not being useful 
When they were bored 

For some its not being able to do 
Something for their self 
For some its not raising their arm 
When people were there to help 

Some missed a chance to be right 
Some missed a chance to fight their fight 

Missed chances are all that is left 
For us to share 
As everything else, for us, 
Is too much to bear

Cycle of Life

when we first open our eyes
there are a lot of people around
people there are happy just
to hear your crying sound

then you are taken to your home
where everyone brings you new things
you wake up on your own and
sleep when to you your mother sings

now its time they want to listen
broken words that you speak
everyone wants to take care of you
because you are so fragile and weak

so after few more months
you stand up and try your leg
at that time wants to see you walk
for that they even beg

3 years pass and you become
more active and start causing trouble
and your parents start worrying
they secure the place double

its time for first interview
at a place they call school
you enter the building and
see a playground and you become fooled
you think your parents brought you
to a new fun place
while they are now thinking
its time you to start from
society's base

so you get into a school and
its different from what you thought
you are the fish that, in this net,
for a very long time is caught

finally you accept that you cannot
escape this nightmare so soon
so you start to adapt and evolve
in this cocoon
you make new friends
and learn a lot of names
some learn to be wise
some learn to make this life a game

you finally reach the end
but you know now is not the end
its either time to get a job
or to a college you are send

the people who loved to hear
whatever word came from your mouth
now if you say anything
on that they will shout

you think to yourself
if can i go through 12 years of pain
lets see in 3 or 4 years
what they can help me gain

these years pass faster
then the blink of your eye
but they will not give you
a moment to let you sigh

now you are thrown in a market
where like a thing you will be sold
there people will check you and buy you
you will have to serve them in hot and in cold

and as you come to age
your family will ask to marry
and as soon as you are
another bag you will have to carry
after a few years another cycle starts
once who was a baby is now
pushing a baby's cart

now you have grown old
and the cycle will soon run its course
you got in to the world and
will be taken out by the source

as you are on your bed
trying to close eyes so tired
people again will become nice to you
i think thats how they are wired

the pattern with which you grew
walk, talk and what you learn
it will all go away one by one
and finally for death you will yearn

at the end of your life
finally your breath is taken
and all of the people you knew
have been forsaken
