Stubborn Fool

No rest for the wicked 
no game for the pure
winner is who doesn't play
loser is who is sure

content is who is oblivious 
hungry is who has eyes 
failure is who is true
successful is who has lies

clueless with what one needs
so confident with one's desires
choosing blind love over true friend
one is ready to walk over thin wires

does the same thing again
doesnt learn from history
to quick to do everything
tries to unravel the mystery

at the end, comes back
ponder the day gone by
walking up tomorrow 
same thing, stubbornly, to try

Different Perspective

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
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 not in completing

May be future is ephemeral
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 and fight
May be more life is what we need
to go into the light

An Average Man

Nothing to show for
My story is of a single page
Nothing have i completed 
My life has been average

I talked a big game
But lacked a game plan
Ridiculed by my ignorance
I am an average man

An oblivious smiling fool
With no rigor or rage
This world doesn't want
People who are average

I wish i could be
What you say i should be
In eyes of others, a reflection
Of an average person i see

Truth of World

This beautifully cruel world
has so much to teach
things to lie about
and the trust you can breach

Whom not to love
and whom not to ignore
To be always cautious
even when you are sure

True hearts cannot survive
this world is of corrupt
The hatred will wipe out all
as soon as it errupts

You cannot be
What you really are
To talk about feelings
is an unwinnable war

You can try numbness
but that is frowned upon
The more wretched the ruler
the bigger is the crown

The one you will love
will not love you back
Born an unwanted child
I can see your soul crack

You are in an evil world
my innocent dumb friend
They will kill you once
the maximum you have bent

You are dumb and innocent
you will not be able to survive
Be evil, be heartless
Only then you will feel alive

A Vagabond

I am a vagabond
My destiny is to wander
No time to know no-one
or to cluelessly ponder

I have to keep on moving
My destiny is a search
Dont know what to look for?
It can be hell or can be a church

Too much to think about
Too much to fight for
Of the battles won and lost,
forgetten, I have, the score

There are few of us enlightened
who just cannot sleep at night
To them I say, dont worry comrades
In dark, Your light is what shines bright

Just know that you are a diamond
In a mine full of black coal
Be true to yourself and your purpose
peace will then find your soul

Only For You

I am writing for you, my dear I wish you read it a whole For you, my heart I sold my precious soul

I wandered without a purpose I questioned my existence I tried to look everywhere I was losing my persistence

My heart was a withering flower The last petal was about to fall There stood a stoic figure From whom, time had taken all

At the verge of insanity To you i want to say I will keep on loving you Even when, in the ground, i lay

My dear, Do with this letter As your heart desire Just know that there was a one For you, who would walk in mountain fire

Happiness of Pain

After a long time
I felt pain again
This feeling, my old friend
I am alive again

Boring is happy and
So is content
Life is in misery of
The unknown event

Pain is my teacher
It taught me to think
Watched a century
pass by in a blink

I hated this pain
When it came the first time
I asked God, is this
The punishment for my crime?

I pleaded in front of pain
to please leave me alone
i stood still a long time
just like a stone

I was free of pain
And that time, i felt all good
But very soon after
i felt like a hollow wood

But now pain knocks again
i will not let it go this time around
I will be with me till the last breath
Buried in the ground with only pain that surrounds

:Ishant

You

You are perfect In every way possible Not falling for you Is next to impossible

The best part of my day Is when i see you smile All i want is to be in that moment for a while

Your voice, my dear, Is music for my ears Listening to you all day Is how i want to spend my years

You are kind and sweet You bring joy wherever you go With you around Even the dark begins to glow

You, my dear, are the proof That God listens when i pray As i prayed to him i didnt want to Walk alone rest of the way
