Life's Journey

A thousand lonely mountains have I climbed,

Fighting 'gainst gails and storms, trudging through snow,

With faith that one day I'll touch my rainbow;

Day in, day out, pain on pain has piled.

A million Moonless nights have gone by,

In warm hopes of new Sunrise,

Days of happy memories to prize;

In darkness are lost my senseless sighs.

Cycles of rebirths come and go,

Awaiting release of eternal life,

Awakening into world without strife;

No more paths to walk, nor lamps to glow .

Many lives

Many lives I have lived in a lifetime.

A spectrum of hues,

On sifting sands, sitting by seasides,

My hands ever empty,

Unable to hold passing moments,

Unwilling to let each moment pass,

As Karna I stand on my battlefield,

Robbed of armour,

Tricked by Destiny,

Yet, I stand unbowed,

Awaiting a death,

Glorious in its ferocity.

Walking into Moonlight

Friend, let us take a walk
From shadows into moonlight,
On our way we'll shed our grief,
Some burdens we will slight.

If, by chance, more troubles come
Pouring down like rain,
We'll not run from post to post
Nor hearth nor dale avail;
Though primrose vales we may not find,
In our hearts we'll shelter gain.
Our feet will bleed, I know
While uphill we stride as one,
Yet together let's take the vow
To walk on till journey's done.

One of these Days

One of these days I'll live my life,

One of these days time will be ripe,

One of these days my flute will play,

Melodies of dreams, of unsung lays.

Time is passing, gliding away,

Oh when shall I live my own days?

One of these days my voice will sing

Songs of my heart in the world will ring,

One of these days my arms will hold

Garlands of sunlight bright as marigold.

Time is passing, gliding away,

Oh when shall I live my own days?

I Remember

I remember! I remember!

Those sunshine days of yesteryears

Of unbriddled laughs, our shared woes,

Those meandering talks till dawn was close,

Hugs and kisses lovingly bestowed,

Our fierce battles to prove we know,

Our memories sweet in hearts reside,

In our unshed tears their loss we hide.

Why did you...

Why did you break my heart?

Why did you kill my dreams?

Why did you make my tears flow?

Why did you quit my heart?

Why did you gift me pains?

How can I bear such blows?

All my hours I kept aside,

For you to fill with care,

All my days I waited alone,

My ache you did not spare.

Today I live alone,

In my vacant land,

My breath shattered like glass,

Today I do not cry,

I wait for life to pass.

In My Dreams

In my dreams, you are with me,

You hold me in your arms,

In my dreams, you smile at me,

On my pains you spread balm;

In my dreams, I sing with you,

Our songs of togetherness,

In my dreams, my world is bright,

I delight in your caress;

In my dreams, no fears lurk,

My shadows are bygones,

In my dreams, life shines fair,

I never feel forlorn;

In my dreams, I dream of you,

I dream of blessedness,

In my dreams, all heaven's mine,

For I feel your tenderness;

In my dreams, Oh! in my dreams.
