Freeze

hey
where r u rushing to
i
i'm just following through
looks like
neither of us
has a clue
where we're heading

there is
none of you while hurrying
but then
so much of you while worrying
having you
is so precious
losing you
is all i keep dreading

i like to walk
beside you

but you always
seem to march ahead
what will it take
for you for once
letting me decide
our pace instead

and i say- Time
please wait for me

you can win the race later

let me first catch some speed

there's just too much
on my plate
where are you going
hey,hold on wait

and Time
please slow down for me

you can wear me down later
first let me breathe

just for a moment
lets feel the cool breeze
relax now,smile,there,perfect








and Freezzz...

i am

i am...
perhaps
a soldier
distrusting my arms
a sage
incapable of keeping my calm
a mystic
unsure of my powers
a free spirit
caged in lost hours
a dreamer
scared to fall asleep
giver of promises
that i cannot keep
a visionary
hesitant to tread on a new path
a strategist
uncertain of the aftermath
a gambler
anxious of taking a chance
a realist
living in a permanent trance
a wanderer
reluctant to head for the unknown
a leader
dreading to walk alone
a rebel
fearful to question
uneasy to peep into
my own reflection
unsettled about  my past
afraid of my future
wary of myself
as much as of any other
awkward to be happy
aquainted with pain
terrified of making
the same mistakes again
an explorer
yearning to discover new world's
but unwilling
to even leave my room
desperately seeking
the sanctuary of bliss
seemingly heading
to the asylum of doom
i am though
the tempest itself
that has brewed up
passions galore
i realise
i am as much
the north star
that shall guide my ship
home to placid shores.
what ever hurdles
life designs in my plans
i shall endeavour
to do the best that i can
a tireless Warrior
determined to stand strong
that is truly who
i am...

Remember

cant Remember
when we parted
what it was like without you
being broken-hearted
cant Remember
when we found each other back
feels like you never left
as if we continued without any gap

you were always here by my side
though being many geographical miles away
watching over me like the sky above my head
so i could never step wrong and lose my way
nodding your head at my mistakes
hoping one day i'd see clearly through the blurred
the value of what we had once found and lost
while sending me your care unsaid yet heard

cant Remember
when exactly things started to go wrong
when did we decide to quit trying
and agree to move on
when we figured it was best to stay away
than causing so much hurt to one another
i think we gave in to our ownselves
but never gave up on each other

maybe thats why our precious bond
continued to stay strong
without ever letting us know
it silently carried on
invisible threads connecting our souls
intuition guiding our actions through
pulling us into the universe of oneness
two diverse aura's taking on the same hue

cant remember
what it was like
when you hadnt yet,quite
touched my life
but now forevermore i'm truly glad
that i can no longer recall any such things
my heart only seems to Remember
the joyful times you bring :)

afraid

afraid to walk ahead
i might break my bones
lest i fall
afraid to run back
so in the meantime
i prefer to crawl

afraid to look up
my overambitious expectations
might crash onto me
afraid to stoop down
my insatiable guilt
might suck up my very being

afraid to mute down the voice within

incase i lose all touch 

with my reality

afraid to connect with my spirit
incase it takes over
completely

seeing which,you,whom i dearly love
would try desperately to
and fix up the underlying defect
failing which,you might manage to
understand me a little
but its something you'd never be able to accept

afraid of giving into your emotions
or getting carried away by my whims
to end up being fooled
of succeeding without you to celebrate it with
else losing the battle
to be ridiculed

crouching in the middle
of the crazy road to survival
afraid to reach either side
i wait to be run over
by time and consequence
so i never again have to decide
