ADAM

Twilight slinks westward
a sullen, fearful thing
whose master finally sleeps.
Iowa night remains;
the sun's sultry legacy.
Furrowed soil is my refuge,
framing my half-naked form.
Shifty leaves ward the heat
and brush at stars above.
My fingers probe the earth,
finding moisture,
finding evening.

I am cradled, complete.
I am Adam
and from this dirt God made me.

Avalokitesvara !

I knew a girl once,
the kind who stored her kisses
in bubble gum balloons.

the kind who wished, with all her heart,
for things you can’t get at the mart..
She searched for dew drops in the afternoon
and longed for lilies on sand dunes

She wanted rainbows across a starry night
and hold within her palm, secret rays of light.

I told her she was being a hopeless fool
aren’t beauty and desire bound by rules?
for even early morning dew must disappear
and lilies in lush green fields wither
rainbows must fade back into the blue
and mere mortals cannot covet a halo

but she didn’t listen,
and continues to thirst
I wonder what she’ll do
once her bubble gum balloons burst.

Life

Lost in the vast abysses of guilt,
She asked who are you ?
I said Hope!

Wandering across the vast dry deserts
She asked what are you?
I said Oasis!

Caught in endless shadow of darkness,
She asked what has she come to?
I said Light!

Against an ocean of armies,
She asked "Teach me to fight?"
I said Faith!

Her reflection in the flowing water..
She says "let me go.. i want to flee"
I said Courage!

Dumbed by the roar of a lion at its prey
She asked why be cruel to survive?
I said Truth!

She stares at the sun
Still the sun makes her blind..
I say LIFE !

Eclipse..

This is supposed to be the last song i wrote you..
But well, you know i will never give up on you..
I don’t know if the chords will match to the lines i write
But by heart beats to the moves you might..

Well let’s just start with a story..
Of a girl who used to make me food..
Of funny sciences and stupid history..
Of Gulliver’s travels, the taming of shrew!

As years passed by, the love grew
But yea i never confessed even if you wished i would
i was a big boy, preparing for the world
You were there waiting for me..to be the man i could

This wasn't supposed to be
But this is how things are now..
We would be up there
Right where Romeo and Juliet stood..
But now we are no where
Guess you no longer care...
I am half the man i used to be..
Cannot sing a love song the way it is meant to be..
Wishing your heart tells you what to do..
You may need lot of loving, but he isn’t right for you...

He speaks to you day in and night..
His words bounce of your cold heart
He may heal the scars but the wounds lie deep,
He may conceal your fears, but can he put you to sleep??
This wasn't supposed to be
But this is how things are now..
I know you need may be a little more commitment
Whom i am to dictate the life you wanna spent..

Its just that this times, a crook..
i still remember the times..
When you asked this lovelorn guy..
To come out on the floor
Let's two step to a new step within door..

Well now, coming to the point,
i just see you happy in some one else’s arm
i am not happy nor sad nor heartbroken nor true..
Coz i know i can win you back with my charm..

You know when you are gone..
Life was mean and i did change..
Though i never told you know you guessed you know
Juliet i am not your Romeo, would never be
I am not even the shadow, you saw in me..

With all the violence in the times.
The love was lost in ambitions..
We blamed each other..
Rather than the comfort of our arms..
You know you know you will always be my gurl..
They said romance was dead, chivalry was way past..
We danced to their rhythm but they were wrong at alast..

i know its hard for you..
Believe me gurl it hard for me too,,
Its my last chance,i know it too..
But blame the times am not ready for you..

People have called me all names
A coward, a lover and a game boy
i wish i proved them all wrong
And wished you where there with me all along
I know your were good about the worlds,
The broken hearts and the mending souls...

So let’s now part, to a better future
The inglorious past that we never did capture
Slaves of the Destiny, we mock at the stage..
Learnt our lessons, things get better with age !

maikhana

Paro ki havelli se chanda ka kothaa
Unki woh muskaan hummne kuch aur hi dekha
Do boondhe tapki aur woh kagaaz ki kashti
peeliye ye duniya, hastee hastee

Apne andhaar aise ghamko ko daafnaayye na kijiye..
Ishq nahi assaan, kabhi kabhi farmayyie kijiye


Dil laggi kijiye lekin dil lagaya na karre
Hum toh hawa ke jokhe hai,hum pe khwab sajaya na karre


Paro ki havelli se chanda ka thecca
Unki woh muskaan hummne kuch aur dekha
Nazro se baatein labbo mein layya na kijiye
Kabhi kuch samjihye har cheez jayya na kijiye

We..

Of the many lifes you ruin
Where do i stand?
Of all thats never been
Whats buried beneath the forsaken land?

You belong to me and i am no one
Yet you wander under the sun
You meander across years, bygone
And the cool moonlight makes you burn

There are days when we cross
The boundaries that divide us
You onto mine and i onto yours
Our lifes entangled by the holy cross

People saw the smoke and wondered about the fire
We enjoyed each other as if we are caught in the mire
The dew drops, the golden leafes and the lazy haze
The worlds been unreal trapped in its own maze

I could be all yours
And you be all mine
And we could go on forever
Till the end of time

Of the many lifes you ruin
Where do i stand?
Of all thats never been
Whats buried beneath the forsaken land?

Wakeup!

I have a job to do that i will do
Sell my soul and be happy too
Play the game with no rules
Where is the shame among fools

Time weathers the unrelenting waves
Clouds cover the brightest sun
Winds script out the mighty rocks
Rivers cut through the unending reserves

With all this i sleep today
Wake up tomorrow to a new day
Haven't played no game i cant win
Whats the fun if you haven't sinned.
