Sadness is your shadow
Waiting for a little spark
To rear its ugly head
And follow you everywhere
It engulfs you
It never leaves your side
How futile your means to escape!
You are the light
The light from which it is born
Nothing may be faster than light
But it isn’t any slower
Let it do its things
It can only do so much
Wherever there is light
There will be a shadow
Sadness is inferior to you
It is a mere reflection
You are the supreme being
Keep shining!

Your Age
Your age is not on your skin
Your wrinkles tell a lie
Your coughs and aches cannot reveal
The time that has flown by
The colour of your hair can’t tell
Whether you’re young or old
Some people have misconceptions
Unaware of truth I’m told
Your baggy eyes, your tasteless tongue
Your weak, unreceptive ears
Are not the right points of reference
How do they know the years?
Your body is caught in a massive scam
It unwittingly plays a part
The only one that knows your age
Is the soulful beating of your heart
A Game Of Chess
This is a game of chess
You’re my queen so highly priced
But to save myself, my love
You will be sacrificed
I Left The Window Open And Fears Came Rushing In
I left the window open
And fears came rushing in
Some I inhaled while
Some settled on my skin
On my skin they formed
Red and quite tiny moles
Burning with every scratch
Excruciating holes
Yet these tiny moles
Relatively safer ride
The fears I inhaled
Were eating me inside
Don’t Plant A Seed Of Question
Don’t plant a seed of question
In your head — it’s a suggestion
It will kill
All you feel
With no affection
Go plant a seed of belief
Give your head a little relief
For your time
Oh your time
Is very brief
I Wonder What Kind Of Monsters Dwell
I wonder what kind of monsters dwell
In each and every young heart’s cell
Is pain and ache their only fodder?
Or they simply love disorder?
I Wish My Heart Was Made Of Stone
I wish my heart was made of stone
Then love for me would be unknown
No joy or hope could pierce my walls
No grief could place me on its throne
Written In The Stars
She is a star
A massive massive star
With a strong gravitational force
Which keeps pulling me towards her
No matter how hard I try to fight it
It is all in vain
I keep circling around her
And I am not the only one
There are other rocks too
She loves the attention
She is a bully
Her light slowly burns me
Kills me bit by bit
She’s only getting stronger
I know she’ll never love me
I’ve accepted my fate
It’s written in the stars
Goodbye Love You Had Me
Goodbye Love you had me
Into a ditch you led me
When I tried to rise above
You drugged me with your toxic love
Goodbye Love you fooled me
With your charm you pulled me
Now that I am a bit aware
I have really stopped to care
Goodbye Love you tricked me
With your lies you pricked me
All the scars that fail to heal
Show me what was fake and real
Goodbye Love you scammed me
No more feelings damned be
Guess t’was too much to expect
Love and a little respect
If You Think That Love Is Perfect
If you think that love is perfect
Then you are a fool
You are yet to learn the basics
Come, go back to school
You expect love to be perfect
Wait! Did I hear ‘expect’?
If your love’s full of expectations
Then for you I’ve no respect
If you’re looking for a perfect love
You’re most probably ill
Love is flawed, love is silly
Far from perfect still
