I've been looking for you all around

I can't find you in old photographs
And sometimes I can't reach you by phone
    But when I look in the mirror and see my smile

*I know I've found you
Shubhanshu Gupta Aug 2015
Hello dark,
here you are yet again
I feel your cold presence
your silence, my pain.
You've been a dear friend,
for when they left me
you wrapped your arms around me
like family.

Stars won't shine in your absence,
yet they always loved the stars
and left you abandoned.
I left myself
With words unspoken
Falling down
On a heart, unbroken.

I fell within,
my deepest conscious.
I learned to swim,
Although I was cautious.

I take a breath,
of my polluted surroundings.
My soul full,
of worthless doubting.

I  walked along,
went with the crowd,
I hid myself,
in the shadows.

I fell asleep,
I dreamt my dreams,
Where everything is as it seems.

And as I wake,
Each day I say,
Welcome, welcome to another.

Another day, of hope and prey,
as I search for meaning,

The life of a long lost lover.

I was looking at the sky,
it was dark like that soul of mine,
I was finding answer to the mystery,
mystery that leads me to misery,
who am I?
give me Sherlock to fix me by.

I take risk and the recess,
am I whole or been in pieces?
The sinners bite me everyday,
I forgive them with a smiling face,
and they bite me again,
bound by this chain of love I crawl,
and forgive them all.

There's something I can explore about me each day,
how good can I be even my people betray,
Is it healthy of me in this mean world,
or have I left myself open to the hell's gate?

I often break and I build myself up,
like a robot that's supposed to work.
At the end of the day, I'm in a memory lane,
from sober to insane.

Need my Sherlock to fix me by,
explore the 'Mystery of my Life'.

I'll always hold your hand,
the one I've always wished to.
I wanna make that moment grand,
when I don't wish to be bold and just hold,
your hand like a lover of fairy lands.

With every breath I take in,
your thoughts just crave in,
the center of gravity you've become,
please come, and hold my hand like a lover of fairy lands.

I can never feel this until its you,
every second its eternal and so new,
can you stand? on this flying mat of Alladin,
hold my hand and  let's dream of paladins.

We'll hang out on Mercury,
be the couple of the century,
I'll hold your cosy hand,
and love you like a lover of fairy lands.

The days are nowhere to be found,
when there were fairies all around,
girls and boys had their unique wars,
did you wish to the shooting star?

Like we had our own different world,
living with fancy and eating mud,
nothing was called as such absurd,
skating on floors and down to earth.

Imprisoned in a classroom for a decade,
felt like sleeping to the judgement day,
then the recess was so highly praised,
and homecoming was the best part of the day.

We all had that unconscious mind,
doing things now we can't find.
I look at the photos from the past,
and realize that time never really lasts.
