Time Machine...

Give me wings to fly,

As I ache to travel back into time.

I crave for those bygone days,

Where every moment was a rhyme.

Every morning laid back,

Afternoons spent under my favorite tree.

My siesta broken by a chirping magpie,

The vast blue sky for me to see.

The grassy plains, the small hillock,

The tiny fishes in the shallow lake.

Happiness measured by the number of skips,

A craftily thrown pebble could take.

As the sky turned orange,

My heart used to be filled with glee.

Neighbors and friends bonded,

Over freshly made tea.

The sun bid goodbye,

And the moon stood stout.

The only competition that existed,

How many constellations could one make out.

When was the last time we gazed at a star,

And watched it falling from the sky.

Does life still remain,

Or has it already gone by..

The Morning Sun...

I gazed over the mountain side,
Alone at the break of the day.
And wondered at the colours,
God chose for the day.

The background of this day,
He painted soft grey.
Then splashed a ray of sunshine,
As if to light the way.

I watched the beautiful scene,
And began to understand.
That in those lovely colours,
He has a simple plan.

For just as in the sky,
Our life begins soft and grey.
We choose our colours hour by hour,
As we live in each day.

And when our life is ending,
The day has all been done.
He wipes the colours clean for us,
To paint the morning sun...

Wilderness

The road never ends,
Neither do the bends in life. 
There is moonlight after every dark night,
A moment of happiness to end each strife. 

The uneasy but pleasant calm,
Away from the mundane crowd. 
The scary yet overwhelming forest, 
So silent, still so loud.   

Deprived of the animalistic instintcs, 
Far from our world so sophisticated. 
There lies a different world, 
So wild, yet so domesticated.   

They hunt in groups, 
Never harming one of their own kind. 
So different from our barbaric world, 
Where we are ready to trample every one we find.   

They mate to survive, 
Unlike the homo sapiens who live to rape. 
Who is the wild creature here, We are a disgrace to the primitive ape.   

To live and let live, 
Is no more a common thought. 
Where are we heading, 
As the society begins to rot.   

The king of the jungle doesnt kill unless for food, 
It doesnt outrage the modesty of another. 
The end of humanity is near,
There is nothing worse to happen any further.

The Birthday cake...

Another year gone by,

One more cake along the way.

Just one day for all the flashbacks,

The rest just a haze of grey.

Another candle blown off,

As I move along.

A new knife to cut away the pain,

A new beginning, with the same birthday song?

Blow away the people that hold you back,

Cut across the thick black night.

Free yourself from the binding cream,

Its time to get it right.

For every day is special,

Light it all along.

Don’t need a reminder from a birthday cake,

Neither from the birthday song.

The lesser you care,

The happier you are.

Enjoy your own company,

Don’t let yourself wander too far.

The candles will burn out,

Flickering to indicate that its about time.

Pick out the nuts and the sweets,

Choose your perfect rhyme.

So raise a toast for now,

Raise it for every day.

This one is gone,

The entire year is on its way.

Just another day...

Is it just another day,
Or a reason to rejoice.
Is it some thing to look forward to?
To celebrate or to retrospect, is the choice.

What has one achieved so far?
That the day becomes a reason to celebrate.
Isn’t it a reason to reflect upon?
And a chance not to leave it too late.

Have we found the motive to live?
And has our existence found a reason.
Have we become wiser?
With every passing season.

Every day can be a new birth,
Every moment can be full of glee.
Life can be an full of joy and mirth,
If we know what we ought to be.

Gifts and celebrations aside,
Angry pub hopping people add to my dismay.
The meaning has already been jaded,
And they have already lost their way.

Still all is not gone,
If we decide to go a little slow.
Take time to understand,
Or soon it will be time to go.

Happy birthday it is,
Today, tomorrow and forever.
It’s not too late to realize,
That it is now or never...

If.....

If I was one thing, I'd be a candle
Lighting the way so you can handle.
Your life easier without woes
Not having to fight with your foes.

I'd help keep you from stumbling over
Things blocking your path to an open door.
If I light your path, life is easier,
Even strong winds, my light will not deter.

No matter what, I'm here for you
To cheer you up when you are blue.
Do not fret when times get tough,
If things look down or kind of rough.

Just remember, I'm always here,
In your heart, close and near.
I will help you out in every way,
Happiness and love in your heart will stay.

Don't blow me out, that's one request
Unless it's me you do detest.
I do not try to hurt anyone
That isn't good or any fun.

But one day you may leave me behind
You may no longer need my light to shine.
If that day comes, go on your way
And I will hope to see you again one day.

If one day, I don't appear,
Do not worry, do not fear
I may be gone, but in your heart
The light I gave you did not depart.

It will be there forever and a day
To always bring happiness and light your way.
Farewell for now, I'm needed elsewhere
If your path grows dark, in your heart, I'm there.

So I'm really not gone, just not seen,
I would not leave, I'm not that mean.
Only one simple request that I must say,
Please, never forget those who light your way.

To let go...

I knew you would be gone,
But still I dint want to let go.
Hoping against hope that,
This time would go by slow.

I could see the end very near,
And the pain that was on the other side.
But I just wanted you to be mine,
Thats all for what my heart cried.

I know life isn't all about emotions,
No one can be rightfully called mine.
Every one has a role to play,
Its upto us as where to draw a line.

The long drives,the moments we shared,
The chilly winters and the happy sun set.
Hand in hand, the long walks,
This was all as good as it could get.

And i cant complain if its no more,
As i have hundreds of memories to treasure.
One thing you can be always sure,
My love for you is some thing you cant measure.
