Stairway To Heaven

It was at that moment,
when i realised my dream,
the goal that i want to achieve in my life,
but oh boy!, that path wasn't a cream

so i took the first step,
decided upon the means
i set out to conquer 
the kings and the queens

hurdles came dancing in my path
obstacles were like pavement,
but yeah! i crossed the next step while 
i was under the hindrances' enslavement

Failure too came 
stopped by,
showed me their dirty face
but no, i didn't fall back
i carried on the race

This endurance went over
 for a year,
within which i lost a few 
and found new dears

Then the results came,
i was scared
who wouldn't be when it shows 
how you fared

The result came anyways,
and what!!!!i succeeded with flying colors!
On that day i felt as if crossed the final hurdle
the dream came true which I've for so long woven
and with that my friends i crossed the stairway to heaven

yeah it felt like heaven on earth,
indeed it does 
when your dream comes true, 
which is your life's worth

You Are Not My Shadow But the Rhythm of My Heart

When rain drops pour,water splashes
i don't want to miss it,
Because when water touches my face,
i feel as if you are around

When i listen to that song,
my heart swings,
and the bell rings,
as if you are around

when my day didn't go good
and i am upset,
i think about our good times and
talking to myself and imagining as if you are around

You are not my shadow 
but the rhythm of my heart,
it skips and misses a beat
when you are around

People may think i am mad
when i am dancing and
smiling just like that
but what they don't know is
that i feel as if you are around

My strength,my weakness,my dream,my wish,
you know everything is you.
No matter if the moments we spent 
together are few 
bu i cherish your memory as fresh as a dew,
i know being nostalgic,but still i wish
if , just you are around

You know,i am smiling at the moment,
for i never know,that i'll get a 
chance to write for you,
these little incidents do
reignite the memories,as if you are around

People may come,people may go,
you may have a new set friends,
but we weren't foes,
even today when i look at the stars,
i feel as if you are around

We both were kids,not wise
enough to know the world,
but now we are not infantile any more,
and the distance between us if filled by this world

I might have been naive enough ,
or ingenuous,,as i'd like to say
But no matter how much we grow up,
i still miss you by the day and wish if you are around

This silent dedication to you,
will always remain untold,
hoping that you do feel the same,
hoping if just you are around......

Where Are You

I saw you standing over there,
As I just turned around,
but then I saw none,
And heard no sound

I saw a stranger at your place,
The rock if you ask me
To describe the state

Promised to never lose me,
And you yourself got lost,
What a strange scenario it is,
I tried my best to search you within the frost

Got to tell you so many things,
Got to know from you
That why a stranger holding your place,
Where are you?

Distances broadened,
Communication narrowed,
But I lost the gem,
The pain I swallowed

Is it too far where you went?
Can’t you come just for a while?
I will not let you go again, I will
Not let that smile to fade

Light years away are you?
Or the stars are your curtains?
Never knew I felt so strong 
About you, where are you?

Accusations,allegations,mistrust,
Hopelessness,
These are the words I use for the stranger,
The stranger is frozen from inside,
Not at all like you,
Why you made him to act like you?

Come out with your sword,
And with a knot.
To cut the loose ends,
To tighten the knot

But all this can happen
If its you,
Even though I don’t know,
Where are you?

You and Me

It was broken, 
the thing I cherished the most
But, Love is not a token

So,its natural that I feel hurt,
As life kind of smirked
as I  felt abjected
And the worst.

But I am not weak,
Neither I’ll give up
I will move on 
With a memory of the past

Lets just see who wins
Either you’ll come and I will
Forget  what happened in the past

Or you wont and I will 
Forgive and forget my PAST.
But my present and future
Is in my hands, so I make a vow to
myself that I will not think about you right now

Just hope that one day 
you realize that what’s gone.
I may not be the best
But perhaps being honest
Is not good for you
I may not be the veteran
But being innocent  aint good for you
I am not false
But may be the truth isn’t good for you


So,may be one day I realize
That even though I am not bad
But dreaming about you is not good for me.

In Love With Love

Read about a few good love stories
Heard of so many love stories
Imagined too with lovely hues 
and twinkling woos
Have never been in one
Don’t know how it is to be in love
The real thing as they say
The magic that makes you sway
The tenderness that gives u  a heavenly way
The place where everything is more than  “ok”
The feeling of being with someone
Knowing that in the end of the day
There is someone waiting on  your way
Someone who accepts you with all that you are
Either bad or a wart
The one with whom you don’t hide 
Or keep secrets deep dark wild
Everybody is meant to be with someone
It’s in the destiny
But the wait is long and longer
As the days go by and  nights waver
Waiting when some1 will come
From within the clouds
With stars as his companions
 And moon his chauffeur
The phase that they say “hi and lows” 	
Of togetherness
The cries and joys
The tears and kisses
Letters saying somebody misses
The race to reach first to meet
The gifts and hugs
The happiness and fulfillment
The basket of “complements”
The reassuring smile
The look in those eyes
The moment getting caught
While looking at each other
and,Not to spare the moment of fights
The proud feeling “he’s my man”
The belief that none can
break us apart,
 no not even  fate could be so smart
all so wonderful,
like it starts with once upon a time…
and …they lived happily ever after.. could be the last line
I have seen “knowing phase” very deeply,
With attachments and emotions and trust bumped off meekly
But now when I am free spiritually and  heartily
All that I need is a smile and some one walking beside me.

Me

I want to do something different,
Something which has life
Not to mug up the facts
Which add to strife

I want to fly like a bird
In this unlimited sky,
To spread my wings in
& to touch every part of the sky

I want to be like a mermaid,
I want to feel the depth,
The cold water will swift 
me to places so that i
learn to face an  undertow, right or left

I want to be like myself,
The way I am,
To stand unique in
The crowd, not running
In the ratrace

I dream of bells that
Keep ringing,telling me
Its merry time
Even if its not,I try to think of it
And move towards the chime

I want to feel the fresh
Rain drop on my face,
The splash which marks
The starting of new things,
The shower that clears everything, 
and it comes in my mind too,in any case

it is not that I am afraid
of hardships or noships
but work,but all
I need is a spark to do it
This spark is what
I am looking for,to
Ignite me to fuel my
Rocket to jet to my lovely dreams…….

Another Letter

All alone, staring in the darkness,
waiting to fall asleep through tears,
is it the permanent damage that has
been done to myself
from which I cannot heal, tell?

Dear God, my days are getting tougher,
my nights are darker
please hold my hand 
a little more tighter

a small prayer, if it reaches you
please come down 
to see what I am going through

Its difficult to survive this phase
but I know that you know
that I will pass this storm

its just that I feel withered already
don’t know how much more I will drown

I know you will grab my hand 
you will save me
I am worried but what I will be 
if not the same 
Girl that I was
before I lost her to this darkness
which has now swallowed me from inside
and now everything is dark for me
like a night sky

which doesn’t have any stars
moon is gone
black night, all alone

Have You Ever

Have you ever walked
on grass
when dew drops adorn it?
or observed the sky 
on a starry night?
It does not take a warrior's might
but still we make it a pass,
and i ask why?

Have you ever placed your 
feet in cold water?
with fishes around toes?
or are you all the time 
thinking about foes?

Have you ever felt the
breeze on your face?
or the moment when
rain drops pour on your face?
the second when its
like pearls with a grace?

Have you ever seen a 
stream over a bridge?
what you felt? 
The feel to always move on
in life or just a ridge?

Have you ever been happy
even for a moment?
or you were always 
lost in a hurtle to
win some achievement?

I might be sounding
abstract or absurd,
but in this fast pace life
take my word

The one who can sit
calmly, serenely
without any crease of
tension on his forehead
or a tear in eyes,
even for a moment,
believe my friend,
he is,in the whole cosmos, 
the luckiest man alive.

Lost

In the crowd, with all of them
But my soul not with me,
Where is it gone?
Where is it lost?
My heart is weeping
At this cost

That burning passion
In my  unique heart
That pride in my every start
Where is it gone?
Where is it lost?
My heart is weeping
At this cost

Why do I feel “all time low”?
Why am I always in a row?
Why I am bemused 
And feeling my ability is  unused?
Where is it gone?
Where is it lost?
My heart is weeping
At this cost

I want to shine
Like  a pearl
Or like dew drop on 
Leaf ,no curls
Where is the belief
In my self?
Where is it gone?
Where is it lost?
My heart is weeping
At this cost

Feels like I have stumbled
And that too very hard
And while going down
Mind does a back start
The alacrity in me,
Where is it gone?
Where is it lost?
My heart is weeping
At this cost

Listened to so many tunes
Read so many words
Beautiful lyrics
And mystic proverbs
But the mind is running ahead
And the path is not defined
And there is no stopping by the will of mine
Where is it gone?
Where is it lost?
My heart is weeping
At this cost

The Lost Girl

Oh Dear where are you
She dreamt of skies
But today she can't find ground beneath her feet
She had stars in her eyes 
But today she is lost in the night
Oh Dear! where are you 
The beautiful girl 
Who wanted to conquer the world
Today she is fighting a battle within
Oh Dear! Where are you?
She was ray of hope 
The light of optimism 
Alas, the negativity has permeated her too
Now she cannot help herself anymore
Oh Dear! Where are you?
She wanted always to express
But today expression makes her feel "too much"
Better not to she thinks
But then, where is the reality if she can't be real, her heart sinks
Oh Dear! Where are you?
She is lost somewhere 
Somewhere inside herself
She believed in God
Now she just believed in God
The hopeless creature 
She walks and gets up
And prays for strength for others
The little girl
Her mind was filled with imagination
And now she is dead inside
And see the irony 
Her future is searching for her now 
The lost girl of the past
