It's Amazing, Isn't It?

Evanescence

Why does it matter that

I leave my footprints in the sand

If it can't even survive a wave of sea water...

Why does it matter that,

I leave the traces of my being

If one day,

It's going to be blown by the wind...

Why does it matter that

I inscribe my name

On a rock at the peak of that mountain

If one day,

it's going to fade with the inexorable rain...

Why does it matter that

I mark my space in the minds of others

When the memories you hold

Are not even loyal to you...

Why does it matter

That I make myself

A little more significant than others

If everything in this world

Evanesces with time anyway...

Sometimes

When I'm staring at the stars

At night

My dreams come alive

As if the million tiny lights

Are holding a mirror to my mind

At times

I let myself wander those streets

it's a different world alright

And In my haze of midnight

I hold my fist tight

I won't let it slip this time

not this time

But as the earth glows in light

And the darkness goes to hide

forcing me out of the world

I painted with my mind

I was flying over the clouds

But still tethered to ground

I rebelled,

Broke the thread

And I soared into the sky

Higher than ever

Looking down

Towards the ground

But as the time flew

Even that freedom

started to taste bitter.....

Reminiscence

Do you remember...

When you stopped looking at the universe,

With your youthful curiosity and childlike wonder.

When you started repressing your emotions,

And your heart became heavy with burdens.

The day you stopped counting the stars

And you realised even the moon has scars

When you stopped holding people's hands

Figured out every smiling face isn't your friend.

When you started building these walls around you,

So strong, that nothing can ever seep through.

When you discovered the crowd isn't the place you belong,

You crave the moments where you find yourself alone.

Even when you hate the hovering loneliness.

You condone it as a price of the silence.

Do you remember....

The day you grew up?

Do you remember....

The last time you smiled without any care,

The last time you opened your heart to someone,

The last time you let the dreams cloud your vision,

The last time you felt restless from excitements,

The last time you held your love on open palms,

The last time you felt the rush of life in your veins

Do you remember...

The day you stopped living?

You showed me the sky

You showed me the stars

You showed me the boundless universe

And it's endless possibilities

You told me there is a world

Beyond everything I've known

Tales of wonder

And lands of dreams..

And when I gathered my wings

Ready to take the flight

You told me, you don't want me to fly?

You were something wild

And I'm self destructive from the start

May be that's why I loved you

So you could tear me apart....

Many came before me,

Many have yet to come.

To profess a velleity,

To seek direction,

Standing right here,

Where you can see

The light of hope

Rising from the horizon.

Mirror, mirror on the wall;

Save your breath, save your words;

What makes you my judge and jury;

You see an image, not my beauty.

Whoever says mirrors don't lie,

When your very reflection is inverted.

let's kill all the clocks...

Let's kill all the clocks

Let's forget rights and wrongs

And steal the wings of breeze

So we can fly over the tides

Till we reach the horizon

Where the sun kisses the ocean

While the earth spins around

We'll be away from that crowd

Snuggling close together

On the clouds that hold water

Let's kill all the clocks

So the picture can live in the frame forever
