SHE....

Like a dream she comes dressed in light

Like the mesmerizing fog on a wintery night

She stares at you with a beaming gaze

With a brisk smile she, mends the fractured faith

Like a dream she comes close to me

And paints a picture I could never see

Writes a verse I have never heard

And sings a song I have never hummed

Like a dream she comes to say

Spread your arms and embrace a new day

Stare at sun with your eyes open

Dare to dream a dream that cannot be broken

Like a dream she comes and leaves

Waking me up with smiles and dreams

Inspiring me to win the battles fought

She comes and leaves like a beautiful thought

For The One He loved

Unfazed by what I had asked, he stood there for a while

My arm in one hand and a gun in the other, He shot him with a smile

The body lying there, silent, cold and unmoving

He stared at it holding my hand, smiling

He knelt down to the body and whispered to it

It’s happened, I told you, and I won

It will happen again, voice came from the body, I will come back, we are not done

He got up ready to leave, till we meet again then, he said

The time will come soon, replied the body, I will not always remain dead

It was that day when my wish came true and his died

I looked at the cycle he had bought me unaware of the body lying by my side

Then one day the cycle broke and it came back from the dead

He looked at me with a smile, it’s ok, I love you my son, taking out his gun he said

Look Around, You Buffoon

Ask a tree and he will tell you

Some things you should never tow

They leave me every year and every year they are born new

Its nature you buffoon, just ask the moon

I grow for 14 and die the next 14

Longing for a day of dark to enjoy a day of light

Losing or winning? I don’t have time for such a fight

It’s worthless to be part of such a fray

Its  nature you buffoon, if you don't believe me ask the day

A few hours of life and the long sleep of the night

So many lives to see, so many ties to break

Happens to me every time- the sea, the trees, you and the moon

Learn to let go, its nature you buffoon

Let me tell you the most important lesson of it all, he said

The joy of new ones would be lost, If I held every leaf that was dead

You will always find a bond, remember its Easy Come and Easy Go

Its nature you buffoon, some things you should never tow

The Last One Standing

The one that had won all and was meant to lead the way

The one that went astray

Some say he is present all around

And yet Love was nowhere to be found

Gliding like a snake, he instills fear

Lives far away but appears to be so near

Treacherous and malicious, adulterous he was

Betrayal was in his nature, luck never understood laws

Born and raised amidst joy and love

Beloved daughters of the heavens above

No black or white, they chose shades of grey

Friendship, fate and Faith turned their backs and simply walked away

Love, luck, friendship, fate and faith, he fought them hard and dirty

He fought, failed, fell and got up; hungry and thirsty

He crawled and clawed, was battered but brawled in situations trying

Drenched in the blood of his foes his Will was the Last One Standing
