When I am around you
The butterflies come swarming
You make me breathless

I stare above
Straying away in the lonely gloom
Watching rockets patter higher
Touching the shining moon
One speaks out to the other
Swinging without grief
Far from what to come

"Why do you fear the stars?"
They call down to me

My shoulders sag
Though a smile grew
Each star reminds me of you.

यह धूप - छांव का खेल नहीं
अंतरमन की कशमकश है
कल तक थे जो धर्मनिरपेक्ष
आज उनकी दक्षिणपंथ में ठसक है
यह कैसा खेल राजनीति का
जिसमें आचरण का रक्षक नहीं
सवा सौ करोड़ के प्रतिनिधियों में
जरा भी पार्टी निष्ठा की ललक नहीं
ऐसे किरदार क्या वादा निभाएंगे
जिनको चेहरा बदलने में लगे पलक नहीं
मतदाता कहां जाए जब कहीं भी
उनके सामने निष्ठावान का विकल्प नहीं
सभी लैपटॉप ,साइकिल और नकदी की टॉफी देते हैं
किसी के पास बेरोजगारी, महंगाई और भ्रष्टाचार का तोड़ नहीं
लोगों को ही समझदार होना होगा
क्योंकि लोगों की समझदारी का जोड़ नहीं।

Falling in love
When you have an agenda
Is so
Painful

Every story needs a bad guy
I don't mind being yours
I'm sorry I hurt you
When I slammed the doors
I was trying to keep out
The monster on the other side
He was foaming at the mouth
And I was only trying to hide
I know you think I imagined him
But I saw him plain as day
He took you from me
And I let you slip away
There is no hero in our story
No one to swoop in and save the day
I needed you to fight back
It was us you were trying to save
But you weren't ready for battle
You put up the white flag before it had begun
You thought it was all a game
You thought we were having fun
But I was looking for a warrior
Someone who could handle a sword
Every story needs a bad guy
I don't mind being yours

I am the voice that whispers
Words of comfort in the night
Holding back the darkness
Until the dawn brings light

I am the ray of sunshine
That falls softly on your face
Chasing away the sadness
With the warmth of my embrace

I am the glistening raindrop
That washes away your pain
Healing the hurt in your heart
So you can feel whole again

I am the breath of summer wind
Ruffling the locks of your hair
Leaving you gentle kisses
And carrying away your cares

I am the frozen snowflake
As I am you are unique
In our world of silence
We don’t need words to speak

I am the coloured rainbow
Lighting the grey of the sky
Bringing your hope in my wake
To give life one more try

I am the moon at midnight
A shining crescent of silver
Guarding your dreams at nighttime
Today tomorrow forever

I am the earth beneath your feet
Solid and firm as can be
Helping to nourish your roots
So you can grow strong and free

I am the arm that lifts you
When you feel tired and weak
I will be there to guide you
No matter what it is you seek

I am the eye of the storm
Your safest place on the earth
You are my soul my angel
Since the moment of your birth

Promises kept
Promises broken
Silence so loud
Words left unspoken

Every thing's over
Before it's begun
Why am I lonely
If you were the one

You said goodbye
With a look in your eyes
Yet the words that you spoke
Were nothing but lies

You spoke of forever
Happy endings to be
But the story you told
Was pure fantasy

Misery, my company
My world dressed in gray
Steady rain of sorrow
The sun has gone away

Silence so loud
Words left unspoken
No promises kept
My heart is just broken
