I live on dreams

I live on dreams
Hopes and dreams
Food and drinks
Are all for the beasts
Nothing elses, nothing else
But hopes and dreams
I live on dreams.

I kept on moving
To reach too far
In the midst, left many
To find no tar
(But the) journey was yielding
Learned new things
Now, hit me harder
Am used to the pings.

I am so sad
That time is bad
I try and fail
Lost what I had
But not the vision
My goals and mission
I know I am to win
There is no confusion.

To my friend, 'K'

Almost I got there

Almost I got it

It was too close to me

I was too close to it

Thought it belonged to me

And felt on cloud 9

Always believed it was mine.

But as usual

It happens everytime

So, it happened again

And I missed it

I lost it

I saw it going away

Wished it 'd come back

To me

I prayed it would

But it did not.

I felt very bad about it

No, I was not afraid of

Losing it

I just wanted not to be a 'loser'

Not to be rejected again

Now, I can laugh at it

But when I had lost it

I guess, I was crying.

Nobody could see it

Except my this friend

Who had just sensed it

Though did not say a word

I recall

He was discreetly looking at me

From the corners of his eyes

He was so helpless

And could not do much

So, he kept mum.

It was my 40th interview

To get that coveted job.

I need a friend

We played many games

We grew up together

Shared dirty jokes

And poked our teacher.

We bunked our classes

To watch latest flicks

We had great time

They called us 'freaks'.

We were like soul mates

Made for each other

A 'damn it' attitude

Never would we bother.

Dunno when I became too old

My fingers got wrinkles

Gray became hair

All of sudden, I found myself unwanted.

They all became fathers

Some good husbands

Few left our town

To settle far from here.

I don't see 'em anymore

They are out of sight

I am afraid my memory

Is getting frail very fast.

I want to laugh once more

I just need a friend

To play some pranks

And sob together.

Am not sure

Who will be sad if I die

If somebody will miss me?

Who knows !!!

Common, once More

My friend!!

One more push

And it's over.

These hard times

are numbered.

Why getting upset?

You are the chosen one.

There is a good reason

For everything that happens

Do not run away

Breast it

whatever it is.

If you can breathe

Keep on trying

Put yourself on the fire

It is very important because

Without winning

Life is incomplete.

Just once chance

Just one blow of wind

Even the sapping flames

Are more than enough

To burn down a jungle.

If you give up

If you say you cannot then

There is no hope for you.

I can see you are close to it.

Why don't you.

Only if it pleases you

Wanna make me cry

Or let me fail

I won't complain

Stand not me bail;

Only if it pleases you.

Do whatever you want

Have good time

Be happy 'n' laugh

Hurt me anytime

Make my life

Like a hell;

Only if it pleases you.

Till I have

Tears in my eyes

Till I have

Fears in my heart

Till I think yes

I can win

Come what may

Follow my trail;

Only if it pleases you.

All my dreams

Are getting shattered

Everybody left me

Whoever mattered

My egoist friend

I won't say a word

What you 've willed

I shall hail;

Only if it pleases you.

(To my friend who loves to see us suffer)

It was June, 2008

With a broken heart
On a rainy day
Walking on the street
I looked for a way
It was June, 2008.

How easily ah
She said goodbye
Started her car (and)
Left me to cry
It was June, 2008.

I do remember
How did she say
‘Have to move on’
Looking away
It was June, 2008.

Waited for her call
Thought would be back
Never gave a damn
When I got (an) attack
It was June, 2008.

Falling in love again

Falling in love again

Is possible.

Future is hope (though)

Past may be horrible.

He makes silly mistakes

A man is man.

Once he fails

Does not mean again.

Love makes heaven

It also makes hell.

Choice is yours

Make it beautiful spell.

Love is giving

And never expecting.

It's not funny business

Stop calculating.
