Lost Battles

When vaunted affection concedes to a daunted will
Clouds of doubt creep in to your summer skies
Its your brain at the end of the day, not the heart
Resisting the temptation of fire; we aren't butterflies
Who doesn't want to walk the extra mile? I do
Who doesn't want to push and give it all?
But who will be there to pick up the pieces?
Once you get shattered, when and not if, you fall
Naivety is not a boon as Ignorance is not a bliss
An Ostrich with its head in sand always risks getting caught
Heed your head & not the heart for wars thrive in the bosom
And some battles you must give up, not every single one can be fought

Shakespearean tragedy

Capsuled hope, taken three times a day
With resignation
After each bout of disappointment
Life is a fatal disease

He asks you to smile; she asks you to laugh
Your confused face distorts somewhere between a laugh and a smile
Forced beyond enforceable
Weighed down by the wreckage of tattered dreams

Deliberation in small joys to help forget bigger sorrows
A delusion everyone is happy to create
Ah life! a chic-flick to the world
A Shakespearean tragedy to yourself

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Hi everyone, I am Mr. Happy
Who used to be Mr. Snappy
I was grumpy, I was clumsy
I was whimsically whimsy
I used to be sad, very bad
Now I am not, aren’t you glad?
Today, I even run with the breeze
My clothes don't have any wrinkled crease
I smile now and not just for show
Am perpetually out of my perpetual low
Aren’t you happy that I no longer snap?
If you are, on 1-2-3, clap! clap! clap!

My Daffodil

Your petals of youth shall dry up like an autumn well
Your fragrance, ah! heavenly, shall be lost to the wind
Just a harbored cocoon where you shall live forever,
Psychedelic subconscious of this restless mind
You will be the lonely absolute
A sole certainty amidst the chaos around
The tears, the smiles, the sense of gain or loss
Like the rushing world from inside a train
O watchful eyes! and my lookout to the world
You are not my means but the end
My endless end, my daffodil for ages to come
Your petals shall never wither for me
Your fragrance shall never be far away

Happening Dreams

Some dreams we never see, just happen to us
My dream, you flew to me like an albatross
I never thought, you’re who I sought
I never saw you behind the door
You never came in my dreams
But like I said, some dreams just happen to us

Blue skies and green earth, you're the fire in my hearth
I didn’t see the spark, was in the dark far too long
But it’s warm here and I don’t wish to fall asleep
‘Cause there’s more out here than in a child’s dream-world
Some dreams we never see, just happen to us
