Why do we burden our hearts
With all those weights of guilt
Of regrets etched so deeply in our souls
Rushing towards the darkness we ourselves built

Why do we regret
Those shattered dreams
When new ones can be sought
Endlessly in our mind's realms

Why do we regret the loss
Of friendships fading away in the chaos
They were chapters of life's book
Ending with every milestone we cross

Why do we regret the decisions
Made on an impulse, without a care
On the train to our destinies
A few unplanned detours we are bound to fare

Why regret the life we lived
Upon reaching the end
Mayhap we'll live it differently,given a second chance
But the Maker's laws for us will never bend

Grab a cup of coffee
Jump on the freight train
Get on with the working spree
Slowing down, the only deed to be refrained

Life here, in the fast lane
Doesn't get better than this
Money, the only thing to gain
The key to eternal bliss

Here the days and nights blend in
Forming an unbreakable cycle
This rollercoaster rolls in a constant tailspin
For this unstoppable ride, you better buckle

"Run! Run! Run!"
The word that drives the minds
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
Is the magical spell that binds

Friends and foes are lost in speed
The colors never set, they are all a blur
In this fast lane, no one pays heed
Even as towards devastation they are hurled.

Look, there she is...flying away
That fairy with her pearly gossamer wings
I tried to imprint her in stone and clay
But she just refuses to be bound by strings

The History is splattered with her fame
Can you then guess her brilliant name?
It goes in rhyme with rhyme
Yes, her name is Time

She is fickle, she has no plan
Yet she won't wait for any man
Howmuch ever you fight and fret
Once she is gone you are bound to regret

So as long as you have her, make a wish
Mayhap she will shower you with a kiss
She has lived through the ages
Her tales have filled up eons of pages

To keep her you have to be wise
Oh she is a fairy, she can be nice
She can wave her magic wand
And put the world in your hand!

So look there she is...again flying away
That fairy with her pearly gossamer wings
No, don't imprint her in stone or clay
She is too beautiful to be bound by strings!

On yellowed pages
This story told
Sublime as dreams
The tale unfolds

                     A heart of mischief
                     A man of rules
                     Defying the norms
                Not found ranking in fools

As bright as the day
Seductively dark as the night
The lady's guarded heart
Was worth the fight

                   Lives intervined intricate
               Two silken strands of rope
                  Destiny's irrfutable call?
            Or a blossoming love's hope?

An ageless melody
Souls enclosed in a time-wrap
The beauty of ever flowing love
A hidden treasure without a map

                 The secret laid bare
                  In between yet far apart
                 The message sent between the  lines
                  Be forever young at heart

The story of our lives

May not tell the sweet tales of our love

Meandering on the pages,
    Down the memory lanes,
        Leading to where our destiny strives..


But the yellowed parchment of my book

Where the tale of you and me unfolds

Will always be bookmarked,
     By the blush of your rose,
         Forever pressed in its nook...

Let me breathe
    For a while
     The cloying air of depression will choke me
       All too soon

Let me see through eyes of youth
    For a while
      They will be jaded and blurred
         All too soon

Let me touch this fragile beauty
    For a while
        These hands will be shaking
           All too soon

Let me dream
    For a while
       I'll wake up to reality
         All too soon

Let me hold this day to my heart
    For a while
      Tomorrow will hurtle down
         All too soon

Let me be
    For a while
      I'll have to join the crowd
         All too soon

Let me live
    For a while
       This short life will be over
          All too soon

Let me fail
    Just this once
       I'll be fighting for success
          All too soon

Let me...
             For a while..

The lullaby of loneliness
Envelopes you in the dead of sparkly nights
Gazing up at the unchanging constellations
You crash down from its dizzing musical heights


The lullaby of loneliness
Alone forms the haunting lament
Springs forth from the deepest recess of your heart
Giving away isolation's uncaptured scent


The lullaby of loneliness
Day in and day out, I'll sing it to you
If only in return for the beautiful melancholy
You would fill up my heart, where it first grew


The lullaby of loneliness
    Remains elusive forever
        To so very few..
