Joy
01 / 09Is she a petal of joy?
Or just a fairy from my dream?
Such innocence clad eyes,
Nowhere else to be seen.
Is she a devil in disguise?
Got my heart imprisoned.
Pearls fall from the sky
When she smiles with joy.
Is she the joy herself?
Such radiance, her elegance.
Is she an eternal sunshine?
Wish if she were to be mine
Will she just remain a dream of mine?
Should I wait a little for her sign?
The Departed
02 / 09A part of life can suddenly fall apart,
While the distance slowly grew apart.
We wish, if only the times were more apt
We would be still near, with none to depart.
The departed leaves us with a lingering heart,
Makes us realise, life's all but not a perfect art.
Fumbled
03 / 09I just fumbled hard at life,
On the way to find a life!
Is it supposed to be that bad?
If so, why does it feel so dead?
Is there any redemption?
Where there's no temptation?
Even with all my inclination,
All that's left is just an imagination…
Unsaid, Unheard
04 / 09There's so much unsaid
So much unheard
Maybe one day she'll talk,
and I'll just… listen.
I wonder if the universe
will ever let me have that moment,
or if it will always
just remain a dream..
Hey Moon
05 / 09Hey moon, are you looking at me?
I can see your light, somedays
Somedays you just vanish, and I can't
Will you be shining for me?
Hey moon, are you looking at me?
It Felt Like
06 / 09It felt like being something near,
Nothing much, yet there was no fear.
Wondered it could be something dear,
Leaving lingering uncertainties in rear.
Eventually felt like a stranger!
Until the words will be clearer…
Her Eyes
07 / 09The eyes, see so many eyes
Yet they end up craving, for a pair of eyes
The eyes, conceal lots of secrets
Yet, they end up revealing to the eyes
The eyes, hide the pains within
Yet, it feels for some eyes
The eyes, yearn for so many things
Yet, it finds solace in someone's eyes
The beauty lies in the eyes
All we need, a set of eyes
Deeper than the seas, her eyes!
Her eyes, those beautiful eyes!
Filled with innocence, dreams & ready to fly
I see, those eyes, her beautiful eyes!
I Dared to Dream Of
08 / 09I dared to dream of something beautiful,
and oh, it felt so wonderful.
There's nothing wrong being hopeful
Cause, that'd be something beautiful
That's what makes this journey worthwhile,
Keeps us journeying mile after mile.
Hey universe, would you send me a sign?
If it turns into reality this dream of mine..
The Unchanted Voice
09 / 09The unchanted voice in my ears,
Lingers quietly within me and tears.
A dream so far from reality,
Yet a desire full of certainty.
A heart knows, what heart wants,
But does she know, what her wants?
A feeling so pure, yet at the mercy,
Still needs the grant of an agency.
A tryst of play between heart and mind,
Conflicted, yet a helpless desire of one kind..
