O brother

 O brother

This is for my big sister who always wanted a “big brother”. Somewhere down the line even I desired one. Hope we all can associate.

O brother, O really,

Silly have you been,

Never been born,

All this while I’ve been learning alone.

O really, O brother,

With no mother,

Imaginary in my room,

We brothers bloomed.

O brother, O healer,

In wars you came out a reaper,

We fought men double our age,

On a mountain of pillows our armies rampaged.

O brother, O really,

Silly have you been,

Never been born,

All this while I’ve been learning alone.

O brother, big brother,

Where have you been?

I’ve been falling all this while learning to ride,

You’ve never been holding my side.

O brother, O dear,

I messed up my first kiss,

Adult-rated the miss,

Hate you for mocking my missed bliss.

O brother, O really,

Silly have you been,

Never been born,

All this while I’ve been learning alone.

O brother, my mirror,

The imaginary son,

When I’ll be gone,

Will you look after my mother’s home?

O brother, like father,

I know you’ll always be there,

Best in your imaginary self,

Extending a hand to help.

O brother, O really,

Silly have you been,

Never been born,

All this while I’ve been learning alone.

The funeral clown

The funeral clown

It went with the emotions.   

 The clown’s all red

In a bloody pool of his dead

He kills himself every moonlit night

Stretches a smile on his face

Farthest to chase

Dress in reds and whites and brightest of pink

Amuses the faces that are so grim

Has a tiny heart within

That beats the loudest to begin

It pays in attention, love and laughter

The man’s well sought after

All for a lonely clown

The biggest gig in his town

The clown’s all red

In a bloody pool of his dead

He kills himself every moonlit night

Stretches a smile on his face

Farthest to chase

No, he’s no fake by any means

Surfing the shallow shores, he dares to lean

Flicking and juggling on a worn out board

He cares less and appears so bold

Just a tincture of madness she carries

Watch out, you Tom, Dick and Harries

Present at almost all his gigs

The clown’s chick is hard to resist

The clown’s all red

In a bloody pool of his dead

He kills himself every moonlit night

Stretches a smile on his face

Farthest to chase

He had several promises to keep

For them, he had to scale the seas

The chick was a difficult woman to contain

Futile to convince that love could be maintained

To her, he lost the virginity of his soul

She crept in his being like a tiny mole

She feared the loss of something cherishable

Believed their love was not liveable

The clown’s all red

In a bloody pool of his dead

He kills himself every moonlit night

Stretches a smile on his face

Farthest to chase

A decision is hard to make

To part ways

And yet have parallel lanes

They held hands

And

Shed mixed tears

She got him a job of a funeral singer

Slow was the pace and sadness lingered

This was the best way to stay in touch

Still, they could not achieve much

The clown’s all white

In a mist of low height

He kills himself every moonlit night

Stretches the chords of his guitar

To tie to the ceilings, must reach that far

The funeral singer wouldn’t last long

He knew only a few sad songs

He asked her to give him one more chance

To let him be him and hold his stance

The gig folds, unfolds here

Nobody knows, nobody cares

Will she? Wont she?

In a dilemma is he!

The clown’s all red

In a bloody pool of his dead

He kills himself every moonlit night

Stretches a smile on his face

Farthest to chase

Love note

Love note

I am writing my heart again

A love note in pain

Of love and sorrow

It seems just like a never ending tomorrow

Now the rain has gone

And it seems that you're the one who's alone

I remember the night, all the stars, you and me

But it’s hard to believe that now you don’t remember me

I was beautiful with you

Now with or without you

I have learnt to cherish

Your final wish...

Ask yourself a question

Was it ever a good proposition?

To conceive our children in my eyes

I know you weren't all lies

The time goes by

You had rightly said while loosening our ties

I remember the night, all the stars, me and you

But it’s hard to believe that now i don’t remember the look on you

I am beautiful again

Forgotten the dreams that you had lain

I am loving love again

She seems like an angel without a taint

My thoughts, they are cheating

Unjust is my writing

What i feel through her in my fingers

Can’t seem to pen down love that lingers

It’s always a beautiful dawn

When i wake up with her thoughts and walk alone

Wish i was sober from the last night

Love had got me high and tight

She holds me by my hand

As we fly and...

The time goes by

You had rightly said while loosening our ties

So say "doll"...

Isn’t it a droll?

I am getting older

She doesn’t let my love get over

We’ve walked the planet together

Tireless our feet feel like feathers

The rain is pouring again in no vain

Drenching us in love every weather

The nights, all the stars have been lit alive

We both seem to thrive

It’s a disgrace that you can’t have her anymore

Or we both together, like i do

Waking sleep

Waking sleep

Don’t want to have sleep in my eyes

Would rather wake up to see sleep waking up in your eyes

Along with the first morning light you take me in

And i get a high therein

Look close enough now

I have grown without a trace now

In your love

Don’t shove me now

It’s been your spell

That has kept me captive, I can’t tell

I still want to hold your hand in sleep

Even when I am let free

Get up now

Or ill go on forever now

Dress up into something sober

It’ll suit you after a morning shower

Let me pat dry your hair

I can’t just see you from the comfort of this chair

I want you to know

That I savor the freshness of you hair

It will be a beautiful dawn

I’ll again leave myself to you in pawn

Worthy of something that is you

Wont come back to ask for it too

Let me make you something

And some caffeine to drink

Remember the flavor of the last time

They’ll again have elements of me

Let this morning be different like always

Feel for me strong in your own ways

And don’t tell me a thing

Tease me and make me feel the sting...

He doesn't make her like you

He doesn’t make her like you

You could steal my breath tonight

Cause now he doesn’t make her like you, a'right

The alleys are getting tight now

And i am all shrinking because i am cold now

The fact that you could kill me

I still want you to be with me

Hold me tight tonight

Don’t wait for another night

Let’s make love tonight

Just like our kinda night

These alleys will lead us there, a'right

Hold me between your fingers tight

You be my breath tonight

Cause now he won’t make her like you, a’right

You make me one of a kind now

Part of a love that don’t exist now

Now its Friday’s night

Wid u wanna see the Sunday’s light

Wheres the Saturday gone now

Lost in your eyes don’t ask me how?

You could steal my breath tonight

Cause he made you for me, a'right!
