I am Lost

I am lost
Lost in a Paradox called life
Lost in love
Sometimes, Lost without Love
Lost in Chaos
Sometimes, Lost without all these chaos
Lost in Words
Sometimes, Lost without words
Lost in Responsibilities
Lost in Fear
Lost in Thought
Sometimes, Lost without any thought
Lost in Boredom
Sometimes, Lost beyond recovery
Lost in Hope
Sometimes, Lost of all hope
Lost in the love of those who care
Sometimes, Lost to those who really care
Lost and Wandering
In the urban Jungle
Sometimes, Lost and wondering
Which road to take
Lost like a lonely dove
In the Sky
Lost like a Child
In a crowd
What am i looking for?
Where am I headed?
I am lost
Forever
In this abyss Called life.

Liberate me!

I want to run away...

But

As I drew back

You began to chase me all the more

I tried to escape you

in the darkness of the night..

but even before I could flee..

You held my hand

and gripped me so tight!

I have nowhere to go

I have nowhere to run...

Oh! Please!

Liberate me

From this plight!

Take away this pain

Take away this duality

Take away my will

Take away everything that

Takes me away from

You!

Somewhere along the way!

He used to have dreams

Dreams that wouldn't

Let him sleep

Then

Somewhere along the way

He lost his imagination

And

Learned to accept things

As they were.

He used to have special one's

Who

Would always smile and say

"We are different and would last"

Then

Somewhere along the way

Love slipped through their fingers

He used to have high hopes

Then

Somewhere along the way

Hope turned to illusion

As he lost himself

And turned to someone

he was not.

He used to have a clear vision

Of what wanted

Then

Somewhere along the way

He lost his sight

And got used to being

One among many

Being old and vary now;

Having lost all hopes

Of a second chance;

Sitting in a quiet corner

Of his lifeless house;

He wonders

Where did his life

Go...

Somewhere along the way!

Little Boy again!

I walk alone

Along streets

Full of people

Unknowing,

What are they upto

Worse,

Not wanting to know.

As a child

By bed at night

And asked

My parents

In innocent delight

To please tell me

stories

And listen in wonder!

What happened along the way?

Am i too preoccupied?

Am i runnning too fast that

I dont smell roses along the way?

As I yearn

To be

That little boy again.

A poet sees beauty,

A child sees hope,

A bride sees a future,

An old man visions rest,

And I see nothing but pain,

And I am so tired

Of standing

In the rain.

Please bring me sunshine!

I want to once again think

That candy is better than money

As i can eat them

I want to once again go to

The terrace to count stars.

Walking still

In agony

On street full of people

Engrossed in their mere existence

With shallow minds.

I want to be that little boy again!

Unsung Hero

Bravest battle ever is not fought by a man.

Bravest battle ever is fought by a woman, in silence!

No, you will not find her in books;

No, you will not find her in movies

No, she doesn't fight with guns or swords,

No, not even with eloquent words or thought

But deep inside her walled-up heart

bravely, silently,

when her children go away.

No melencholy, no sad song,

No glorified parting;

But oh! those silent tears

From babyhood to the adulthood.

she suffers untold pain in bringing them up,

make many sacrifices

and one day, the children are gone.

they are there somewhere; yet not there.

Yet, she doesnt show her pain,

Fights a silent battle in her walled-up heart deep inside

until the day

The silent, unseen, unsung hero goes down.

With nobody to praise her for the battles she fought.
