Echoes After Midnight
1 ONLY FOR YOU
When I am tired
Of getting tired
When I fake it
But nobody can make it
When I laugh
To cover up your bluff
When I leave it
For you to do it
And still you don’t care
To see what’s going on here with me
I feel myself to be stupid
For whatever I did
2 TIMELESS
Wrap me up in your embrace
Let us calm down
Look at my eyes with grace
Let my heart melt down…
It’s the hour of peace…
Give me sometime to hold myself
With the memories we built
Out of my sight, you are delf
And now, you want to rebuild
Give me an hour of peace..
3 SOLITUDE
In the world of starlight
We will meet again
And would sparkle bright
After this life in vain
We would reunite to achieve sanity
Leave behind the shows of vanity
To be at peace
With you at ease
Love would be redefined
In your way would suffice
The story would be seen and rewind
But won’t be created twice.
4 FEERLESS
It was a beautiful spring night
Strolling in the courtyard
And watching the nodding trees
Bears my heart a trench of pain
I sat on the bench and crouched
Under the lamppost
Laying my head down on my hand
I started recalling the cold meals
And sobby nights I went through
Today is no better but not worse too
It’s heavy inside,
Atmosphere feels light though
Breaking the silence
Made some footsteps
I raised my head to find no existence
Was it a hallucination or reality?
But it kept me haunting,
Whenever I sit there alone.
But I still go there
To feel those footsteps
And my eyes find no existence
It’s the loneliness
Which haunts me from inside
And I find those footsteps
To be relieving my loneliness.
5 STUPID
“What’s the difference?
Between you and a call girl”
These words brought her to sense,
She suddenly felt dull…
She was attracted
To that man last night
As a result she got abducted
For a one- night stand
She hated herself
For that one mistake
She felt, she was deaf
And her body ache,..
She had been abandoned
Now she live with a new identity
That she made on her own
It’s such a pity
For the world that doesn’t know
Her true identity…
There was a day when everyone felt
She was stupid
Today she felt
The world is indeed stupid…
6 BARE
A memory reflected tonight,
I was a bit dizzy,
It’s a memory of conversation
He asked my version-
“Why I hate jewelry?”
I found the question, silly
It’s been few years now
I’m still without jewelry
As if I took a vow
I stopped to think,
Stood in front of the mirror without a blink
It’s a sudden realization
As if it opened my blocked vision
I opened my chest
To find the treasure,
In it’s best
Touching the anklets
Feels like shackles,
In it’s place
Are the responsibilities tied in my buckles
Getting to the bangles
Seems like handcuffs
When day and night fails
To understand the guffs
My eyes touched a necklace
It’s my granny’s but feels like a halter
As if I’m forced to face
The world of rotter
It was a quest
To find the answer
The long closed chest
Carried my insecurities and fear
7 DIARY
Sometimes I stop to think weird things
When my imagination takes it’s wings
to say, my bond with my diary
A real friend in my life story
I dump all my emotions,
Through my words flowing in motion
On those pages
Which I turn after ages
To read through those laughter and cries,
Those untold truths and told lies
When I had no one by my side
But still my feelings, I hide
From whom? I don’t know,
But something that I don’t want to show
All those days and nights
Darkness and lights
I scratched it on the body of my diary
And it serve it as my best buddy
I pass down all my shames and worry
As I know it will be safe in my diary
I was not alone but still alone
When I found my diary to be what I only own
And so I share a special bond
It only can consume my emotional pond.
8 RIFT
Mind is our servant
But we are slaves of our heart
Conflict between two will be ever last
Though time is running fast
But coincidence can never be forecast
People overdo things out of lust
It ruin their lives into dust
The moment heart convinces mind hast
Is nothing less than an emotional blast
9 LIFE IN LONG RUN
Everywhere I look today
I find myself to be fading away
The world moved ahead
With times, people have changed
I feel myself to be stagnant
Where my presence was eminent.
I won’t say my life is bad
Or anyway I’m sad
But my life is not too good
And I am not happy to have any of “you”.
10 AGES
Ages passed now realized
It’s been a long time
Since, you are chasing your dreams
Haven’t you realized? Oh! Devine,
Your laughter changed into screams
How have you been so pathetic?
That you never complained
For a life so hectic,
Are you punishing yourself?
But for what?
Have you ever thought?
Stop chasing and take a while,
To face it with a smile
It’s not that easy, but
Not so hard too,
Life is not that vile
That to achieve it
You have to sacrifice your pretty smile.
11 HEALING WORDS
The flowers are yet to bloom
It’s still a dark room,
Let’s open the window
For some rays, wind so slow;
The sky is awake
Moon seems so fake
The clouds are hiding it’s mistake
Stars want to set,
It is such a battle!!
Unaware are grazing cattle,
Outside, was a dark show
Innerself cooled down
My eyes saw black
But, trapped between invisible frown.
12 VALUE
I can’t understand
What my heart craves for
I see the clock filled with sand
And my heart counting every hour
My life had more to offer
But I kept counting my losses
Now I feel myself to be a duffer
When I see the burning busses
The situation is terrible
I locked myself inside a room
My imaginations are horrible
When I found myself to it’s doom
Humans are behaving like wilds
Gere the species are scared
What this fight yields
Is what my heart feared
Counting dead bodies on road
Has become our daily job
People did this as they are bored
Peaceful lives cannot satisfy the mob.
13 LAST PHASE
Everything seems to be in haze
Every moment of my life pays
How can I come out of this phase?
Memories seems to chase
My life has become a mess
How can I come out of this phase?
Whay’s my state, nobody cares
Still to survive, my will power dares
How can I come out of this phase?
Failed in finding ways
And my last hope says-
How can I come out of this phase?
14 LIFELESS
My hand was trembling,
Suddenly it felt numb,
Tears were rolling
Words were dumb.
Never regretted even if it’s worst
It was meant for me,
No matter what it cost,
I always hoped to see.
The moment was ruthless,
Still was captured
As a part of my life race,
But appears to be dead.
15 FAITH
The late night, screams
Tearing me apart
It’s the faith in your eyes
Which keeps me alive..
The scorchy heat
Burns my skin
It’s the faith in your eyes
Which keeps me alive..
My body feels numb
Under the beautiful snowflakes
It’s the faith in your eyes
That keeps me alive
Death finds my door every night
I still hope to see the morning light
It’s the faith in your eyes
That keeps me alive.
