A hazy mystery behind it's leaves;
Draped in yellow, she stood there waiting,
For the blind child of destiny.
She searched the lands of poisoned deliverance,
But not a single one did speak
Of an ethereal fire that had eluded her,
That she, for centuries craved to seek.
She searched in the pain and toil of labour,
In the sound of the ocean's roar;
When she found nothing but a little voice inside her,
She shut hope's brittle doors.
The next morning she woke to a blinding light
And a voice that echoed low;
The doors swung open, they shrieked and howled,
And the wind began to blow.
"I am the face of the shadow of truth,
I'm the fruit of your persistence.
But I'm just an illusion, you can find my reflection
At a time none can comprehend."
She sat there pondering for a while, till she cried,
Still looking for pieces of her stolen elation;
But it was all in vain, not a speck remained;
It was all confiscated by her still coveted illusion.

Of offering and pleading to this unwanted cup.
I will drink from a goblet of my own dark colour;
I’ll find it, I don’t need your help, dear endower.
Armed with lament from the words of the past,
Of words that concern or jealousy cast,
I search in hope for an angel to come,
But they are all just precious, immaculate none.
So I walk my way back to the enchanting cup.
But this time I’ll just watch, while some others come
And sip from the beautiful, unclaimed goblet,
As I smile, still thirsty, at the final call of death.

before everything was new,
all was cramped into nothing no one knew.
nothing in plenty, nothing in few,
all had nothing with nothing to do.
when time would start it's desperate run.
a journey in stillness ,with the present done,
and the footprints of the past, forever numb.
the beauty of the night through the oceans sheen.
no night before had ever seen the moon,
but all this and more just waited for soon,
their beauty would meet in familiarity their doom.
and they looked and prayed to the yellowing moon.
they searched in hope for a second sun,
but about this they were mannered, kept mum.
they killed the ones who against it mumbled.
a price mankind would have to pay,
for the search that will end when death is at bay.
fed by thought and music’s lust,
meant to transcend all that can be said
about the unborn living and the living dead.
Bestow upon me the sacred gift of blindness,
Let the voices around me fade to darkness.
But let me speak the very little I do,
To burn, with the little fire in my soul,
As I croon to be a part of you.
Let me perceive and find the answers to
The untamed questions with life to do.
Of love and lust, of truth and the unjust,
All this to come a little closer to you.
But what’s ahead of me is no secret to you,
Although you may change it ,you may well not do.
But if you listen to this maddening fool,
And give him what he’s asked you to,
I’d probably become him, and come straight to you.
Will your wrath stop any time soon?
Else I will speak to the queen of the moon.
And if you touch my second sun,
I will try so hard to you not to come.
Will you show me what’s on the other side?
For I value the tears that I’ve cried.
Do people meet you time and again,
Or do they all have different names?
A day will come when I’ll see your dreaded face,
Which exists in neither time nor space.
I will come when you call me, my dearest friend,
But I sure do hope you’re not the end.
Of suffering smiles ,and laughing tears.
Where men go searching far and wide,
For what in their souls, they may find.
The only things that are left untouched,
are ourselves unseen and our blue lunar dreams.
To live among men like the kin of death, and the son of time.
Where the rainbows are coloured in shades of three,
Where the stars are green, and so is everything seen.
Don’t you struggle to picture a world so unconfined and free?
This is a place of passion and pride,
A secret castle of eternal truth,
Here one knows he belongs to his roots.
There is need for needles and horses none,
For all directions are equal and one.

It won't cry unless I've pledged.
Till it weeps, I must bear the pain,
I wait for you, oh queen of the rain.
This thirst I have has grown for so long,
But to drink from the cup, I think it wrong.
I will wait for the rain and all it brings,
And only then will I merrily drink.
But someone has stolen the clouds from above me
And he wont give it back though I beg and plead!
But when I saw them so happy and merry with glee,
I started to wonder if I was glad or just free.
And there's one who has known, I know who is one,
As I wait in hope for the second sun,
That a soul without another dies,
Buried in mounds of helpless lies.
So reward me with the rain
For the years gone by and for those yet to come.
I'm yet to know true pain;
Reward me and all that's done.

fabric of life
draped in tranquil sanctity.
not a speck on her fair,fabric face,
she was a part of heaven's purity.
her childhood friend the wind would say,
"blessed be the owner of this pretty face!"
but time sowed envy and conspired with all
to steal from her, this gifted grace.
the wind still whistled, but now it shrieked down her ears,
and the sun and the stars did dance to her pain.
all she wished for, was to be soaked in the rain;
instead,she was moistened by tears.
for long, she stood confused,in denial.
the cruel, dark clouds often did fool her;
they roared and laughed at her desperate ordeal
of waiting in hope for the cleansing rain water.
she still lies there, drenched in flesh and blood,
she is my life, she still boils in the sun.
i call upon you, dear lady of the rain
to soak her in fairness, to redeem her grace.
