Darkness By Gautam R Nair

Into the dawn, i emerged... 
and i saw the flowers blossom around me,
the birds chirping and I felt
the dew drops on my bare feet as I walked through
the lovely green grass.. oh yes
it seemed to me like heaven.. !!

And slowly the day went on..
eventually into the darkness, i plunged in
Dark cloud of evil wrapped around me,
and i saw the dead walk around me..
I walked on the dried dead leaves all around ,
and it seemed to me like hell...!!

I saw whores being raped,
I saw children being taken away from their mothers,
the Kids around me were killing each other,
love had no value..
politics had no ethics..
People had no trust...

And i stood there.. in the middle of all confusion,
that went on around me..
unknown to myself what i am...
not able to decide where I fit in..
Not knowing how its is going to be ...
to live the rest of my life..!!

My mind yearned to see the light Again, 
Would there be any light any more?
I dont know and neither do my fellows..
Like spring emerged ,
Leaving Winter behind,
i yearned to emerge into the light , 
leaving darkness behind,
the world seemed to grow darker and even Darker
I wonder how long the fearful darkness
is gonna be around.

I still stand here in this dark world,
The New Age...
not able to realise where I fit in....

The Secret You Hold

I know you have a great secret..
But i doubt its as big as you think, 
Remember you can share anything with me, 
But i know that you are unsure of how i will react.

Dont worry my dear, 
I know what you are, 
Its all past my love, 
Leave the past behind,
And its none of your mistake, 
Remember The secret you hold is too heavy, 
For your lovely heart to handle.

As long as your heart is pure, 
As long as your love is true, 
Your love will be there with you, 
in all Good and Bad.
Its none of your mistake my love,
Remember, the secret you hold is too heavy,
For your lovely heart to handle. 

I have known it for a long time,
My love for you may be blind,
But i still have my senses to see, 
that you too are a human being, 
that you are my love my heart and my life, 
and so my dear don't worry ,
what others tell, or what others ask.
I know that some one asked for something,
something bad.. 
which made you feel really bad..
You are a pure lovely girl,
touched with hands of love only, 
The love that made my world a heaven. 

Oh baby! throw it out!!
throw your secrets out ,
its making me too nervous,
too scary when you react
in a way i cant handle...
think of a day when you can talk,  
anything and everything to me , 
when i can understand totally ,
what you tell to me.


I know only one thing.. 
That the secret you hold is too heavy,
For your lovely heart to handle.
