Time and Place

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

Bryan White

Ariel had long locks, Noddy’s house was on the wheels…
Little did the small girl’s wish list knew,
How bad does a broken heart feel!

The empty arenas have nothing to do with my tune,
The magical kingdom is too far away from my small room.


There is a time & place for everything you dream,
That’s why it doesn’t make much sense now…
Felt so precious when I was fourteen!


Somewhere one day, I found someone just like me…
Having the time of her life, living the dreams that I am allowed to only see.


Still I feel the same euphoria building inside,
I am proud of her, and happy too…
At least someone got what they needed by their side.


There is a time & place for everything you want,
May be to speak your heart out but sometimes you just can’t!


When my voice is blended with the echo of my favorite song,
That feeling makes me forget everything that is going wrong.


I am aware of all the side glances,
I can hear them calling me crazy & dumb…
But I eventually found out this is much better,
Than having my little heart to always feel numb!


It’s true that there is a time & place for everything that you love,
But some dreams never die…
They will grow up with you and just like stars, they will shine above!

A Good Story…

Searching for a good story, I waited too long to write…
I was naïve. In that unlit corridor, hope was never insight.
All the dirt and filth that I got inside,
Is a gift from the one who couldn’t lose his pride.

Every single moment I wished for a miracle,
Prayed for the tables to finally turn.
Slowly my dreams started to fade away instead,
With an aching heart & feeling of a deep burn.

They say every cloud has a silver lining,
Even without a moon, the night sky is always shining.
They forget that the sky can’t do it on its own…
Still need the stars to get the lights from.


The Sun is there somewhere in the sky, if you find the silver you are looking for…
But sometimes the night is just stormy and black,
There’s no Sun, no Moon, no Stars out the door!


Searching for a good story, I waited too long to write,
Forgot that something so dark, can never be called bright.
All the tears & hate that I got inside…
Is not leaving me now I know, I have already tried!

HOME

Don’t know what I am looking for,
Don’t know where I belong…
I’ve had a thousand places to live,
But there was none that felt like HOME.

Not fond of being in control,
So now I am on my own.
Not sure at what point in time
I started to enjoy being alone.

Life half lived, dreams unchased, and a broken soul.
All those days wasted trying to fit in,
I didn’t realize –
There is no way to come in good books of all.

I still want to see the snow, see the stars in open ground.
Seems like the pipeline dreams and imagination is all I have,
to ignore the unending rule book and mess around.

Silence comes through the pain of not being heard,
When I know I can fly high…
Staying in the cage becomes so difficult.

Look closely in my heart, my wardrobe & my house –
you will always find…
Invisible scars, uncomfortable outfits and a conflicting mind.

Afraid of losing the new contour I’ve created somehow,
it seems easier to run far away & start a new life right now.

There the air will be free & I’ll have a bounce in my walk.
My eyes will reflect the joy that I have in my voice when I talk.
The thoughts I have, holds no value in the place where I come from…
May be there they will, and I’ll finally get the felling of the long lost HOME.

Colors – Lost in time

If you heart is good, don’t let the world elude you into thinking that you have to change something about you to be better received.

Saurav Roy

Open your eyes and have a look around,
Your world is on the verge of turning upside down.
Its time you move on and stop pretending,
The Hourglass doesn’t care for your happy ending.


You float inside the bubble of fairy tale,
Watching the signs of fading hope …
And fearing the fall of the final grain.


You cherish the Colors you have got,
Lived in denial for so long…
Without giving it a single thought.


As the time ticks, your heart races…
You want to escape but destiny chases.
Heart is heavy, sunken, powerless and weak…
Once was a chatterbox, now it might never speak.


The Dreams you ignore, the tears you conceal,
Falling short for words as the days fly by…
Don’t know how to describe what you feel.

Once the bubble bursts,
All your Colors will scatter in the ocean…
A few will move far away,
Others will just be lost in the commotion.


You know your colors are always special and bright…
They never look the same,
When taken out in different lights.
Try harder to find them and keep them close,
You know the only thing that truly define you…
Are the Beautiful Colors that you once chose!

THE MISSING RAINDROP

It takes everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is.

Lana Delrey

Inside the room, they told her to dance in sync.
She can’t focus. Why is everyone around wearing pink?

What’s playing on radio is not her favorite song,
Swaying to the beats in her head, her foot taps along.

Sneaked out in the open, the touch of raindrops felt nice…
Breathing in the earthy scent, she strolled for a little while.

Closed her eyes, letting the breeze play with her hair that moment,
In the reflection of water, she was happily twirling around in her blue dress.

Amid the downpour, someone was calling her name,
She moved closer and was trapped inside the room again.

There was silence, yet a strange ringing in her ears.
The reason behind pink silhouettes dancing is still unclear.

Fearing the stares, she hid behind a curtain
Her screams went unnoticed and silence felt like a burden.

Somehow the air was thick, and hard to breathe right.
She tried to smile. Her lips agreed, but eyes denied.

She again danced chaotic, music not reaching her soul.
They were all angry now, coz her tears were in no control.

Afraid of getting lost, she needs to mellow down.
Good memories stay strong, this she has always known.

Surely, on her, the carefree spirit will take its toll,
But the blue she owns is very beautiful on the whole.

She keeps herself distant from her heart yearning non-stop..
For she knows, the only thing that can make her eyes smile, is The Missing Raindrop.

You Know…

Dedicated to a friendship that could have been…

First thought in your head after waking up,
Is to share your senseless dream with me over a coffee cup.

From another new recipe that you created,
To the latest Friday night party bits inline
You know… I’m all ears,
To listen to your same story for the millionth time.

Someone at work was humming the old jingle we used to sing,
You texted me right away to tell,
Never realized so many memories a simple melody can bring.

Today you had to go for shopping on your own…
But you know with me by your side You will never feel alone.

You had an argument with your mum the other day,
Didn’t wanna talk for a while…
You Know…
I’ll understand, & wait till you are okay.

You get into all these stupid fights,
Because you know…
I’ll be here with you through the night.

You have your own share of bad days,
When you’ve to go through difficult & sad phase.
You know I’m always here to remind you,
That somewhere inside your beautiful heart…
Childlike innocent hope still holds its very place!

We meet sometimes over lunch,
To talk about how far we have come along.
How some paths turned out to be right,
And some we have chosen wrong.

When I sense the low in your voice,
And my every attempt to make you smile fails…
You know…
I’ll never stop trying to restore your faith in the miracles of our childhood fairy tales.

Our theories often don’t match, the world says.
But you still believe in me
because you know…
I have got your back, Always !!!
