You stole my heart
Till death do us part
We had vowed at the altar
Never say goodbye cause we ain't apart
How could have you stolen my heart

Destiny set us apart
Made you to depart
God did his part
Hit me like a close range dart

Waiting for me
Up in the sky
No regret that I'm unable to fly
When will I learn how to die

Time our enemy
As I keep watching the clock
Every tick its tact

Friends from childhood
Ignored and abandoned
Grew up concomitantly
Yet so differently

Days of hunger
Hanging around at a film theatre
Pocket picking only option
Do the deed with hope of escaping

Passing the purse
To his friend an accomplice
Tries to flee the scene
Before doing an act so obscene

Cought by the public
Mind and body static
The friend does not panic
Hides the wallet under the car wheels

Cought red handed
Turns the tables single handed
Lays the blame on his friend
And claims total innocence

The accomplice under the radar
Beaten up and questioned by the public at large
Questioned if he took it
Denies it vehemently

Forced to return the stolen wallet
Doesn't think even for a minute
Claims innocence of its whereabouts
Doesn't help in easing the people's doubts

Finally grilled if his friend did the act
Replies I have no idea about  the fact
Death at you doorstep never rat
Learnt from this young boy whose character is intact

Did you take it
No
Did your friend take it
I don't know
Where is the wallet
Which wallet
You ll be beaten to death
Go ahead

Simple and straight
Basics sans weight
Complexity deviates lines
Burden heavier than time

Essence and purpose
On a clear course
Additions add remorse
Simply find the source

Inputs added chaotic
Pieces of the puzzle quixotic
Brain functions neurotic
Break this habit

Perfection of purpose
Relevant alone on the surface
Evolution or intutive the process
Permanent harmony with the results

If God already knows
What is good for us
Then why pray to god
If everything is an action reaction equation
How does prayer help the situation
If everything is predetermined
The whole task of Prayer is undermined
In the long run we are dead anyway
Why not look the other way
If skill  determines what we get
How is prayer going to be of any help

Stage of my life
Universally described as middle age
Life's real stage
I can't ever guage

The bard called life a stage
He meant it another way
Replaced his writing and its staging
With the creator and his creation

Stage of my life
Performing on a stage
Range of my skill
World calls it the success pill

If the world is a stage
And im acting out my play
World ranking  my ability
There in lies the duality

The curtain falls
Out of the stage
Still in the stage
Curtain opens again

With the curtains down
The make up still on
Headed towards the green room
A change in role for another day

A role within a role
Never changes your core
Always in character
Created by the creator

Roles change as play changes
Stages of life can tell the differences
Yet to understand the nuances
Hoping the next will give you success

Matinee evening or night
Dress circle or the Upper Circle
Performer Audience or the playwright
Roles reverse as easy as the waves recede

Standing at the backstage
Witnessing the set pieces change
Continuity chain already in domain
Life s role no choice to refrain

Raging battles in exchange
Not to be shortchanged
Getting up on stage
Not to be upstaged

Wings used for masking
Already an actor in a garb
Actor within the actor
In the pit plays along the conductor

Coming through trap doors
Encountering multitude of characters
Walking past the proscenium arch
Standing on the apron for applause

Found ****** or Arena
Whatever the enacting stage
Decided on merit the life's stage
No flashback to make it stay

Time to fold as audience fade
Matinee idol once but no one buys the facade
Lights are off in the dark
Past the arc
Stage set  to stop your clock

Been there done it all
Last Curtain call
Could really be the last Curtain call
Curtains up you are only a recall

Worry a feeling or a thought
Or just happens inspite off
Link between past and future
Has no role in the present for sure

Ambition and Fear in a relay
Picking up the baton a delay
Time takes its time to deliver
Vacuum of waiting filled with ponder

Immeasurable out their awaited
Worry the Scale used to get graded
Destiny the back up to call it Ill fated
Unabated feeling to feel elated makes worry never dated

Getting rid of worry
Mans biggest worry
Gods and Philosopher s querry
The ferry to put  man out of his greatest quandrary

Trust gained by integrity
Unifies the bond with friends and family
Should connect internally
Passing time rather watch a movie
Select carefully the company
To keep to satisfy
Your egos needs daily
Rethink the stratergy
If not in sync
Your wasting your time
And the others dime
Misunderstanding just a matter of time
Equal and two way street
Views exchanged as equally
Expression curtailed purposely
Walk on immediately
Character the core
Personality to borne
Taste to match
Conveying hard facts
In times of need
Helping to be freed
A friend in need
Is a friend in deed
Putting up a show
To the world to know
Is of no use in the now
Or in the morrow
Best is to unshackle
Mental independence to tackle
Travel with the rest
Make the best
Spiritual in nature
Friendship not easy
To find a match
Will take years to catch
Quality of commitment
Consistency very important
Everyday leading to step closer
For friendship be a seeker
You'll never be the loser
To share everything
Sorry to glory
The whole spectrum
Syllabus of fellowship
Anything not fitting
Into the frame of fellowship
Not worth the trouble
Burst the bubble
Walk on Walk on
