How Does It Feel

Come with me into the woods

Where the sky's fogged with clouds

And I'll show you millions of stars

In the deepest parts of the ocean

I'll show you what is air

Close your eyes, shut your mind

I'll show you how it feels to live a dream

Away from the harsh rays of sun

Where all floating dandelions have gone

Will you come with me?

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.....

What's left in this world?

The dreams crushed

By love or lack of it

The waves of ruins

crashing nearby

While the light of hope

Setting on the horizon

The silence sings along

With our pain

Untill the mind craves oblivion

To run towards insanity

To seek shelter from reality

Not Mine❤️

Maybe you weren't the one for me

Maybe we weren't meant to be

But somewhere along the way

You have become a part of me

In those fickle dreams of my teenhood

In the last pages of my notebooks

In the music collection on my first iPod

There still exists a part of you

In that briefest moment of eye contact

And the goofy smile that sped up my heart

In those infinite seconds, you gave me

The simplest form of joy life could impart

I agree, you weren't meant to be mine

But in my soul, you still left an imprint

You should have told me

Before me you made me smile

Before you showed me the stars

Before you lit that candle in my heart

Before you made me want you

You should have told me

That love comes with a price tag!

Asymptotic

A song that remained unfinished

Some words that remained unsaid

Some confessions that never made it to lips

Some emotions were left unnamed

Some secrets yours and mine

Neither shared nor hidden

We walked together, side by side

Hands entwined

Not caring about finish line

We tried to enjoy the journey

But there's something that we forgot

That we didn't have forever

That we're stringed to our fates

That pulled us opposite ways

And our love wasn't tangible enough

To bind us together in a new fate

Because our love was an asymptote

It came close enough to feel

But not enough to connect

It came close enough to touch

But not enough to osculate

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...

Yun to banjar si thi...

Yun to banjar si thi

Meri dil ki zameen

Ye ehsas kya hai

Woh janta hi nahin

Yun jo aye ho tum

Banke halki si varish

Sochti hun khuda ki

Koi sajish to nahin

Ruthi hui khwabon ke

Is khali si asman main

Ek akela sitara hai tu

Jo aaj jake chamka hai

Ab iss roshni se teri

Vakif jo hua main

Darta hai ye dil, vapas

Jane se virano main

Ab itna to bata de, khuda

Yeh mohabbat hai

Ya nazar ka dhoka

Ya leher hai ek gunj ki

Jo hai ek pal ka mehaman

Sajake yeh tanha ashiyan

Phir lout jaega apna jahaan

I was tired of this unending race

So I paused to take a breath

The exhaustion,

The weighing down emotions

I took a minute to acknowledge it all.

But when I opened my eyes again

I was stranded in a land

Lost in time

Couldn't find a soul

Be it a friend or a foe.

The world can always find ways to disappoint you, even in the things you have no expectations in.
