When you've waited not long enough
And it almost seems like weeks.
It smells as fresh as lemongrass
But dried it feels.
You know it's not love
But nonetheless, it's deep.
It's a mystery to seek.
When you want to live it through,
But it leaves you.
It's not easy, loving you.
So you choose to go.
And want me to leave you.
Because its easy to let go
And not easy, loving you.

Its funny how you say you'll be there.
When i look up to you
You are nowhere.
It's funny how you see through me,
And yet cannot see through my mind.
I rewind the memories, of moments being kind
To me, but mistakenly.
You believe, all that you know to be true, to be all.
Ignorant of my thoughts, just know
I'll be with you near or far.
It's funny you can still look up to me
Finding me where you you left off.
And me moving out of that place
But still left behind in those moments,
You said you'll be there,
But were not.

I have you in my pencils
Your memories stored in its lead.
I have your wrongs in the eraser,
I have your rights on the paper.
I write you through my heart,
I let you reside in my pages.
Every word that marks an impression
On to the next page,
Being hidden under the words of another day, another you.
The one I write my secret letters to.
I know you will be with me on these pages.
And I will be with you through ages.
Keeping you in my heart,
Writing you in my diary.

I let myself be
Who I was meant to be.
Going round and round in the confusion
I meant to reach a conclusion.
I crossed the valleys and the rivers
I crossed the forests.
I found you in the backwaters
Of my mind.
Somewhere hidden, my happy place.
I needed my space.
I knew you would be somewhere nearby,
Between the crust and the sky.
Very much in my vicinity
But still very far from this city.
O Love, O Peace, be mine.
Let me be the person- I define.
Far from the battle of charades,
Away from the stagnant mirage
Come to me, I take a step to you.
Come find me, I beseech you.
Come to me O Love, O Peace of mind
I am waiting in the backwaters.

There is a way out there to start again,
Gather yourself, move out of your pain.
It's never late to make a good start.
Don't tell anybody except your heart.
Be smart enough but don't play so smart.
You may get a wrong shot dart.
Give peace of mind to its every piece,
Don't let the fire of your passion cease.
Follow your heart,
That shining star in the dark.
Sometimes in darkness, enough is the spark.
Cause there's a way out there.

Dearth of hostility,
Esteem of feelings.
This is what I want.
Which can't be bought by even millions of shillings.
But who will understand me,
Will the Lord of paradise?
If he comprehends me,
Then why not others acquiesce?
Why there in this world is abomination?
Why not everyone affable?
Why is everywhere total complication,
Why not every heart adorable?
If everyone gathers on the boughs of trees
With a clear heart for everyone.
Your every doubt will fly for sure.
And you'll flourish, I say.
This is the sagacious decision,
That can make a good hearty way!

I had been waiting almost forever, for getting what I want.
And I realized you only compromise.
I kept on moving, accepting the compromise
And then I met you.
You made me feel like never before,
I was vulnerable.
You gave me the flight,
the sun shone bright.
You were so kind.
You said you love mountains.
I knew I loved them too.
I would gladly elope to the mountains with you.
Because I realized,
I had always longed not for hills
but for you.
You made me realize
who am I?
I was wandering all lost
and you became the compass
showing me the way to be found
all for myself, by me.

How lonely, how funny.
Whatever it is,
It's not what it is meant to be.
Circles and squares
and more of them.
Mind-boggling moments,
trying to fit in a frame.
So much of a crowd,
each one is just one.
But everyone is here to have Fun.
Running from the din,
Running into the din,
which they call Fun.
Relax, breathe, is what all they say.
Making a part of their busy day.
Take time for yourself, introspect.
From every negativity, you disconnect.
The quest for peace, ending at Fun.
Again, your precious time you shun.
You search for yourself.
You find Fun.
Loner Fun.

We'll grow like trees, touch the high,
Roots not alive, boughs spread so wide.
Kissing the shine, becoming the shade,
Colours hanging on to us, like nature's brocade.
