If only dreams could continue forever
Endlessly glide through night
How merciless it is to be awakened
At morning's glowing light

In dreams there is never sorrow
Confusion, guilt, or heartache
Dreams are a subconscious movie
Our minds decide to make

Every twist and fork you encounter
On roads that lead to nowhere
Are just choices your mind invents
And are metaphors for somewhere

Dreams are flush with easy rhymes
You always find a friend
It's saddening that every dream
Eventually has to come to an end
Except nightnares, those I think we can all agree are better when ended.

इस उम्र को ओढ़ कर न जाने कहाँ निकल गए हैं हम,

क्या यही बनना था जो बन गए हैं हम,
क्या जीत गई हैं पहेलियाँ और मनसूबे हो गए हैं ख़त्म,

इस उम्र को ओढ़ कर न जाने कहाँ निकल गए हैं हम..

पल-पल 'पल' ही होते जा रहे हैं कम,
कहाँ पहुंचना है इतनी तेज़ी से चल कर, की रस्ते भी पड़ गए हैं नम,

इस उम्र को ओढ़ कर न जाने कहाँ निकल गए हैं हम..

हटाते रहते हैं की कहीं ख्वाबों पे न जाए धूल जम,
फिलहाल एक हाथ से दूसरा हाथ थम लेते हैं, शायद थोड़े बिखरे हुए हैं हम,

इस उम्र को ओढ़ कर न जाने कहाँ निकल गए हैं हम..

कुछ तो बात थी तेरे साथ की, युहीं नहीं वक़्त जाता था थम,
खुशी तो आज भी सस्ती है, जब वो हंसती है, महंगे होते जा रहें हैं गम,

इस उम्र को ओढ़ कर न जाने कहाँ निकल गए हैं हम..

काफी कुछ करना है अभी तो, यही चिंगारी रखती इस लौ को गरम,
वरना क्या बताएं रूह तक को ठंडा कर दे ज़िन्दगी तो इतना लगा रही है दम,

इस उम्र को ओढ़ कर न जाने कहाँ निकल गए हैं हम..

रुके हैं, चले हैं, गिरे हैं, गिरकर उठे हैं, मगर हार गए हैं ये नही मानेंगे हम,
लड़ना है उसके लिए जो 'लड़ रहा है मेरे लिए', शायद यही वजह है कि तमाम मुश्क़िलों के बावजूद बढ़ते जा रहे हैं कदम..

वरना इस उम्र को ओढ़ कर न जाने निकल गए हैं हम।।

Dreamer, dreamer,
you always wake up as if you haven't slept,
and all it is that you've kept...
the fatigue of your trials,
the soreness of your miles,
the torment of the lifestyles.

Your sleep is all dreams,
stemming out from your river of life like streams.
You dream of everything that you can't do,
and what the world deems impossible.
Incomprehensible,
to everyone but you.

Dreamer, dreamer,
is there anyone to watch over you in your slumber?
They could give you a number,
of the hours of your rest.
It's long enough to slip into dreaming,
but lately it's seeming,
not enough to give you energy.

Dreamer, dreamer,
if you ever sleep enough, if you ever don't dream,
you'll notice the fatigue doesn't go away,
but you hope it will anyway.

You're scared to find out,
so you keep on restricting your time in bed,
even though it's slowing down your head.
I don't have a doubt,
you're tired beyond dreaming.

Dreamer, dreamer,
there are things to take for your rest.
You try your best,
oh dreamer, you do,
but there are some things you just can't do.

Dreamer, dreamer,
how do you do it?

This isn't actually about anybody. It's loosely based upon me just being very tired, but it really has no subject. It was just an idea.

Guitars in the Night


There is a place I have not been,
I go there each night in all of my dreams.
The fictional world of fantasy.
I think it’s a result of a life that has been lived
And a worldwide vision called the T.V.


I woke up this morning after another dream;
I was late for work in my mind and the panic awoke me.
I looked at the clock it said 45 minutes past three,
So I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.


I hum the tune inside my mind,
I can’t see the meaning; it doesn’t mean that I’m blind.
All I can hear are the words with meaning;
Something personal, just for me.


All we want is you by our side;
All we hear are guitars in the night.
All night long I’ve been singing this song;
I don’t know the words, but I sing along.


All I hear are the thoughts I am thinking;
I can pass the time in a blink of the eye.
Now I know what I must say,
To make you understand my mind.


I’ve got my feet firmly on the ground
And my head is in the clouds.
I’m a full time dreamer,
Who is full of self-doubt.

Sitting here all alone,
dreaming of the way things could've been

You know why important people always say;
Follow your gut instinct

Because it could really save your day,
and maybe even more
like your life

Society bares us unknown
       We do not conform,
        Nor do we yield,
        A free spirit,
       We trail our dreams

Lost deep into vast wilderness
        Time can’t keep up,
        Days flew by,
        Head in the clouds,
        Feet stuck down

Not letting others enter this domain
        Peaceful, just the way it is,
        They can’t **** us here,
        Their piercing words,
        Scarred us for life

Reliving on a piece
        The words we created,
        With such obscenity,
        Words cannot be expressed,
        Written neatly

We are those who live
        Up in the clouds of imagination,
        Nubivagant gracefully,
        The goal of a cloud walker,
        A nefelibata.

I used pure imagination
To picture a future with us together
Closed my eyes and visualized
Brighter times ahead; sunny weather.

I knew I was daydreaming
I might not one day be your wife
But I do not want to live without you
I hope fantasy comes to life.
They say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

Shatterproof


This is not the only time,
When I could not think of what to write.
So I simply close my eyes
And dream of you throughout the night.


You passed the test, you’re picturesque;
You are the taker of my breath.
My fantasies have all come true.
The boyhood dream of something blue;
Something borrowed, something old,
Something otherworldly and something new.
All I have is all I need;
All I ever wanted was a wife like you.


Because I’m…
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.

Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.


My boyhood dreams have whole new meanings;
The boyhood dreamer just keeps on dreaming.
Throughout my life, I’ve had this wish;
To find a wife and live in bliss;
To find someone to share my kiss with;
To find someone to help me raise our kids.


I just wanted, someone to hold;
Someone to keep me warm in the cold.
Someone to simply, hold my hand;
Someone to simply understand.


And now I’m…
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.

Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.


No-one can harm me except you;
No-one else can make me blue like you do.
No-one else can have my heart;
I gave it to you in exchange for love.


My other half is so profound;
The only one who could bring me down.
Her Indoors means the one I love,
The one who helped me complete this ode.


The joy I feel is so unreal,
It’s better than anything before.
The love you show I know is for real,
I offer you my heart and soul.


Because I’m
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.

Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.
Shatterproof around you,
I’m shatterproof when I’m with you.

I take a knot inside my head
Out to see what’s left instead
A jumble of words
And tied-up thoughts,
But to know what’s there
Is all for naught

For only I can truly see
What the world
Could really be
In my vast imagination.

It’s a pain
It really is
To see the beauty up in there
Wrapped up in confusion’s stare
And unable to explain.

All the knots inside my brain
Will always there remain,
For I, a simple dreamer, fair
May never get the chance to share.
I can never fully put my thoughts and imaginings into perfect sense, the way that I think of and see them, so they remain jumbles of string inside my head
