Lakshminarayan Rao Poem
There is no reason why i shouldn’t do it, i thought
come what may and what may not.
The grass is always greener on the other side
I wanted to explore , to go against the tide.
The game was on and the score ticked on,
seemed it was just the beginning of the dawn.
never knew the boundaries,no fear,no limit,
never tried so hard, never seen the summit.
just wanted to hover around,just wanted to glide.
just to ease my mind and come down the slide,
I thought i knew it all, seen it all,
but for that something behind the dark wall.
came so close as I always do
deja vu again, nothing new.
never dared to jump across the wall
I ain't crazy, i knew i would fall
so i turned to fly back, back to base,
but before i knew,got caught in a haze,
didn't panic ,played by the rules,
kept my cool, went on with the cruise.
I flew on ,but the haze got thicker,
now i had to act, do it quicker.
I veered and swerved, tried to nose-dive
then it all happened, it trapped me naive
lightning started striking, started striking twice
venturing into forbidden territory ,I had to pay the price.
caged in fright in the steel machine
so freaked and scared,i've never been.
extreme g-force froze my brain
deep inside,i felt my blood drain.
voices ,a thousand wailing voices
screaming and whispering all the noises
disillusioned and petrified ,i tried to scream
my memory failed and i began to dream
woke up with a start in a different scene
pondering in the dark, nothing to be seen
I struggled inside my hollow self
couldn't breathe ,couldn't cry for help
but i thought i cried, someone came along
i tried to run away, but it was too long
dark forces came all around
haunted my soul ,the banshee sound
i fell into the valley of death
the dark knight there cometh
to drown me inside the quicksand of hell,
this time for me tolls the bell.
sliding inside that black hole,
i didnt want to let go of my soul.
I took a look at the black sky
the last time before i die
my memory faded and then i drowned.
stranger to the mystery around
i floated around in the maze of time
in an age of evil and endless crime
then came that flash of light
my guardian angel on my flight
i opened my eyes, got back my senses
saved myself from all the wicked trenches
"planet earth calling" that familiar voice
home sweet home,bring back all my joys.
vow unto death i took, never again to fly
the vow that would be the biggest lie.

Lakshminarayan Rao Poem
Lying here numb staring at the walls of filth
Waiting for the time, the moment of truth
Its time now, I am going. So long!
Ceremonious exile to the world I belong
This wasteful existence they call life
I've endured for long this strife
Mortal souls thrive in this hollow black hole
This bottomless pit I've lost my soul
The futile depths I delved were like endless roads
The well of ignorance, the reign of knighted toads
I lied low in the deep trenches of the shallow pits
Enslaved and suppressed by my noble kings
I've waited for aeons for that fireball to die
And the immortal light to begin and shine
Honorable men and dutiful wives have arrived
To see this iconoclast getting rightfully crucified
Let this bring World Peace and justice for all
For ‘In god they trust', ‘god save'em all'
The resonant sound of their march I hear
My royal attire for the night is coming near
Those iron chains of freedom I can already feel
Emancipated and flying to the surreal
It's such a joy to die as a beast
Social animal with inhuman traits
‘Created' by a sacred clan called mankind
Cast-away by men who stab from behind
They take me away to the crossbar poles
Fearless soldiers, moral zealots and sacred souls
The clergy waiting eagerly for the moment so gory
Their moment of bliss and ephemeral glory
They open their newly bound books
Sanctimonious preachers and wicked crooks
Revered and feared they just want to be
Ready to sing me my final lullaby
For my glorified soul to rust in pieces
May it satiate their spirits, my nemesis
The executioners back on duty again
Their ten seconds to fame about to begin
Dignitaries receiving judicial enlightenment
Taken some time off for some family entertainment
Crucified and hanging from the gallows heights
I take a tranquil look at the last sights
Of a treacherous world that was never mine
A world of miseries and remorseless crime
The bells are chiming, now is my time
Bid farewell to a life unworthy of a dime
But mark my words till the end of your days
I'll be in the worst nightmare you'd ever face.

Lakshminarayan Rao Poem
Life is you, Love is you
My soul is you, My world is you
The sweet music in my heart is you
The tranquil peace in my mind is you
The guardian angel in my life is you
The eternal happiness in my life is you
Every breath I take is for you.
Every thing I do is for you
My eyes wander looking for you.
My heart throbs only for you.
There's no song in my heart without you
There's only emptiness all around without you
Everything falls apart without you
Everyhting is nothing without you
Close my eyes,the only face I can see is yours
The sweet scent in the air is yours
The gentle touch on my body is yours
The soft whisper in my ears is yours
You are the light in my life
You are the life in my soul
My Love, My Sweetheart,
My Better-half,My Wife.
