Words ?

Verbal expressions are not easy; you see

Easier to pen them down to read

One tries hard to hide

The expressions sometime

Love, hurt, care; are simple words

They don’t capture the emotion one feels

At times the word one says

Make a mess of the emotions in sway

Oh how easy it would be

If the words mean what you see

No matter what you say

No one will see it that way

Chase those demons away

Say what you feel that way

Emotions come and go

Words linger on

Words are a flux

Mind meld is a must

Till such time; capture the essence

Use words as a fragrance

Engineering college days

Beer, Cigarettes, us chasing girls

Oh the college day summers

New people you meet

Some friends you keep

The lab work to do

Work submissions uncompleted

The copying on GT sheets

Late night work; work completed

The year finished, results here

Some smiling, some crying

Easy come; easy go

Start from scratch, same old work to do

Beer, Cigarettes, us chasing girls

Oh the college day summers

New people you meet

Some friends you keep

Another year, new work to do

Some guys are good and some need help

Struggle; late nights; get work done

Another year is done

Final year results here

Some are engineers, others another year to go

End of the blast we had

Now to jobs; responsibilities to take care of

Beer, Cigarettes, us chasing girls

Oh the college day summers

New people you meet

Some friends you keep

Perfect Day

Not a cloud in the sky

No birds flying by

The cool breeze I feel

Reminds me of places I’ve seen

A sense of déjà-vu

I’ve been here before

Was it in a dream?

Was it real?

The serenity of the day

Tells me to find inner peace in some way

How easy life would be

If each day was like today

Time ......

no drug , no shaman, no guru

will figure out my inner self so

shaman's and gurus come an go

my body hear is here and now

my eye sight shot, my comprension shot

but my choice 6 pac or lost

the mandolin plays, the tabla plays

rythms to take you to there and there about's

the beats mirror my heart beat

what is here and what is not

my inner self still struggles

with the non necessary and the non now

find the way, oh simple tune

so that i can sleep on the dune

An Ode to Life

looks like i'm on a roll

chains running around a pulley,

sound so much like chips at Vegas

I never realised it till now

But chains they are both

Lifting a load is not chance

nor spin of wheel or throw of dice

effort is required to see

the end of the deal

deals come and go,

how true are you to your soul

no drink, no cigarette will help you forget

deals that went sour and how regret

all you have is effort,

and the belief that it will get best

till that time; spend at home

in prayer and in hope

that your effort is not in vain

it is the best for you to gain

spend time with kids to see

how simple life could be
