May Be

Absence of love is not always hate
Not being on time is not always late

If only we could remove
the layer of what seem real
Then finally we would know
what true real feel

If everything we know is just a lie
May be earth is not earth and sky is not a sky

May be Outside is what
you had locked inside
And inside is what
you were trying to hide

May be all our fights with life are fake
All it take is a stone, for a mirror to break

Truth is may be the heart which is beating
May be our fight is to give in and in not completing

May be future is ephemeral
and present is never ending
May be This world, this life
and this love is worth defending

May be hope is what we need
to stand up on our feet again
May be more life is what
we need to feel that sweet pain again

Thoughts Contd,

Sitting in a box of contemplation 
Thinking about things from an atom
To a nation
Lost in the world of labor and of vacation
Silently observing all my thoughts
With patience
All trains start fron the same but
End on a different station
Every single wave giving different sensation
From a naked eye,
This world looks full of aberration 
Full of tricks, machinations and hallucination
But when you look closer 
You are looking at the most beautiful creation

Fleeting Thoughts

My thoughts I request you

To please stop coming and going

It is hard to focus in

Constant state of knowing and not knowing

One second I am here and

At other I am in a palace

how is that at the same time

my heart is full of love and malice 

Distractions just keep on coming

Like waves, one after another

One second I am happy to get away

And at other I miss my mother

I just want a single stream of thought

One day and everyday after

I want to feel just one

Whether it's sorrow or it's laughter 

All goals seem smaller when

Compared to the goal of being sane

You just have observe around you

There is nothing more complex than plain

My Muse

The simplicity of the world around

Is just life's biggest ruse

And I sit around waiting for

someone to be my muse

Life is simple for clueless

But being clueless means i lose

I will deal with difficult and impossible

All I need is my muse

I cannot deal with nothingness

I can deal with saddest of news

All I want is to fill my thoughts

Please be my first and my last thought, my muse

I searched in the past and in the future

for the path to you,I could not find any clues

I have searched in all the corners

of the world for you, my muse

So I call out to you, I write to you

You can listen, if you choose

All my life I have looked for you

Say something, say anything, my muse

A Star

I walked for so long
I think, I came very far
I look to you for direction
You, my love, are my star 

I spoke out of my turn 
And I did cross a line 
You are like a star, 'cause the longer 
the distance, the more you shine

The more I walk towards you
The more you walk away 
I shout, I howl, I have tried
To say sorry in every different way

I cried, I prayed in front of God 
Just hoping we,again, could walk hand in hand 
But all I get is nothing when
I close my hand while holding sand 

I slipped and I fell
There is no one to break my fall
I made a wall around my heart 
You are the one who can break that wall
