Another beautiful state in the Republic of Bhaarat,
It is plagued by cross-border terrorism,
How they redden the green valleys is appalling.

Zoo
The pretty Peacocks welcome me,
They have their colorful feathers spread for display,
They shake their bodies & attract me.

I then move towards the next enclosure,
I see an Asiatic Lion sitting gracefully like the King,
I realize that he in deed was the King.

I then see one of them sitting like a human being,
I was greeted by the awesome orangutans next,
I wish to get myself a pet orangutan someday.

Roaming half-way through the Zoo I get tired,
I decide to see the rest of the dream tomorrow.

I saw you today and that
Smiled seemed to
Change everything.

I wish I knew your name though.
She rides her machine through the road,
the rain is pouring down.
She really can't see much,
but the raindrops on the ground.

Her eyes are wet and foggy,
her heart is at peace.
The air is grey and groggy,
a mix of green and trees.

Mixes of colors swirl around her,
as swarms of cars swerve by.
Angry voices slur,
as raindrops fill her eyes.

She's spinning down this road so fast,
the tires slip and slide.
She feels at peace with her past,
as she takes her final ride.

Her arms are spread like wings,
catching the wind as she soars.
Through streets, people, and things;
as the sky above pours.

The cars are grazing her bare arms,
she feels this is her fate.
She really won't go much too far,
if she keeps on heading straight.

Face to face; a car's ahead,
her fate is seconds away.
Within the instant she'll be dead,
in a street she use to play.

When close to death you hear a sound,
it reflects all life you lived.
Although by fate she had felt bound,
her tires began to skid.

Her machine squealed to a stop,
she flung her arms out wide.
They say a raindrop closer,
and she really would have died.

The streetlights made a spot light,
the haulted headlights made a gleam.
As she headed home at night,
she woke up from this dream.

It wasn't inspired from a tv show,
nor from a tale she read.
It was to teach her to take life slow,
cause the future goes unsaid.
I am lost.
In a concrete jungle.
And I am
the only flower
left.
Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

Under watchful eyes
No room for lies
No time for pleasantries
Blast them into obscurities

Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

Why bother with explaining
It's all too emotionally draining
Once again, it's just not fair
And I'm trying hard not to care

Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

Just pretend and save face
I've already fallen from grace
Ready, here comes my smile
Even though I'm hurting all the while

Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

Shh quiet, don't say a word
Sorry just forget what you heard
Don't listen, apparently I'm insane
Driven mad from all this pain

Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

I sit back and wait
While the puppet master decides my fate
It's a performance with no cause
I'm dying to the sounds of applause

Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

I could choose to lay it all out
And finally confront the doubt
But out loud, no I couldn't
I want to though I shouldn't

Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

I'll cut the strings and avoid the gaze
And look beyond the deciteful haze
Surpass that growing abyss
And cannonize all of this

Don't pity me
I'll write you into infamy

At first glimpse,
I shudder,
there is something in your face,
I almost recognize,
It's different now,
More articulate,
your eyes have become hollow and vacant,
Without spirit,
Haunting and hopeless,
no longer being seen as bestowed by a diety,
lifeless,
No longer illuminating a disheartened world,
Seeing too many unfavorable aspects of life,
drawn,
the light which once poured,
nightfall surrounds,
not of ignorance,
but from experience,
the secrecy of these shadows,
the rendered soul,
cause me to visit the unwelcomeness,
that I have known,
twilight touches my face,
as I step away from the mirror,
promising never to return.

In the complex molecules of our brain cells

All this ado about the anatomy and structure

There is something unseen

Something that scientist can’t measure

It lies within the piece of literature we read

It breathes through the beauty of the Amazons we visit

It doesn’t have a name

It is the dream that I secretly dream

Silently and alone

At night when it’s deadly quiet

When the shooting stars sparks and falls

A dream to become

An Artist
A Writer
A Traveller
A Journalist
A Dreamer
