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 Ordinary Road

To those who are wandering on the road, so afraid to miss the view…
To those who have worn a fragile mask of pride, I was once like you.
To those who are feeling uneasy, to those who are feeling blue…
To those who are secretive and silent, listen to this story – it holds something for you.  

I’ve passed through giant crowds, I’ve crossed mountains & seas…
Time never speaks – how ‘Tomorrow’ comes in a breeze.  
I have been like you, like him, like all these Random People in the city…
How was I supposed to cope up in a universe full of witty?  

I once had everything I wished for, everything for which I tried…
But they were all gone forever, in the blink of an eye.  
I have had too many questions in my mind…
Until I saw that the answer was always there – in “The Ordinary Road” behind.  

In the past I have destroyed everything, wanting to leave forever…
I fell into a deep-dark pit, losing faith in my endeavor.  
I was hopeless, yet longing for something I had before…
I have been like you, like her, like all these Random People Next Door…  

I have been disappointed, despairing, & losing my direction bad…
Then one day, I saw that the answer lay in “The Ordinary Road” ahead . 

While you are fantasizing about tomorrow, wondering if it will be better or worse…
It’s just another day for me, to let my perseverance immerse.      

You struggle, you fail! You learn to live with a burden & a sad tale.
Though you make bad choices along the way,
never give up even when you bear hardships every day.

You are not home until the road ends,
& it will keep moving, whatsoever your story pretends.  

Keep walking like this, even when the wind blows hard…
Just keep going on, even if something has been torn apart.

The realization of missing something, will shake your faith to the core…
Only if you keep on believing your dreams, the road will allow you to walk more.  

To those who are wandering on the road, so afraid to miss the view…
Have you been listening closely now, for the road have always something new?
The road is far and long, carrying mysterious and hushed stories along…
Don’t lose all your hope & heart, for the road is your destination since the start.

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 !!!
