It is just a matter of time..

slipping away ever so slow
making me feel so low
the self belief seems to die
no matter how hard i try

the dream that began so well
and then face first to the mat i fell
just a stumbling block or a closed door
behind which lies my choice of floor

the biggest shock yet to come
when it comes it will be some
and though for now on a stall
the writing seems to be on the wall

i have now a choice to make
a difficult or two steps to take
the fight seems to be too drawn in length
and i am struggling to muster the strength

for some time now i have been stuck
finding it difficult even to blame my luck
the things just don't seem to go my way
and the dream continues to get away

whatever, it is now time to rise
for at the other end lies the prize
keep pushing hard for the prime
and hope it is just a matter of time.

Beyond Expectations

In my dreams a girl,i used to see
The one with whom i want to be
Soft spoken,kindhearted,all grace and class
And beauty that no one can surpass

Back in those days i was going strong
and then one day you came along
caught the eye in the very first view
saw so many getting drawn to you

It took some time but when the ice broke
I really loved the way you spoke
A little fast still the words were clear
So very gentle but so easy to hear

Before i could realize my feelings grew
And as it would appear from your side too
To muster the courage some time was taken
For the first time the words to be spoken

She was the best i,thought so
the girl of my dreams too good to be true
but now,i have to admit though
the best i could imagine fell way short of you

In my dreams i still see a girl
the one with whom i want to be
the only difference is that the girl today
is standing right in front of me...

Stayed up all night just for you
And yet you refuse even a view
For once at least answer my pleas
Even with just a glimpse if it is...

The beginning....

In the beginning I stayed away

Thinking that you needed time

Aware that it could all end

With a gentle feather of mine

In the beginning I let you pass

The desire to go through I did resist

At times presented a guarded self

Forced only at your insist

Every passing moment I could feel

That I was coming closer to you

Now was my time to open up

And start behaving more freely with you

Though every moment I was aware

The need to mix caution with dare

A moment’s slip even just one

And the hard work may be undone

Had at times some nervy moments

At the receiving end of a few comments
But we did nicely for a long time go

Though at times a little slow

For most part now it was smooth sailing

With hardly ever any thoughts of failing

But the good times truly have their meaning

In the restraint shown in the beginning.

Who are you

Who,who are you
tell me,tell me what do you do
where,where do you go
lead me,lead me i will follow you

I have been lost somewhere
only you can take me there
tell me,tell me where to go
lead me,lead me i will follow you

Only do i see it now
missed it so long don't know how
now we will think of what to do
lead me,lead me i will follow you

BEST WISHES

And finally it happened
what we all were waiting for
as the man with a keen sense of timing
came out with a beautiful piece of rhyming

it had been coming for some time now
we only wondered when and how
and then on a very significant day
he acknowledged his awakening in the most beautiful way

but in this day of happiness and joy
lets for some time set the end aside
and visit those old journey days
for its been a roller coaster of a ride

for those who want to know
how it started when and where
let me say what records wont show
that the flame has always been there

the road that led had some turns
but all the suffering was not in vain
for when at last the destination reached
it was worth every bit of the pain

the lips weren't allowed to leak a line
when to those who could see eyes told the story
the words that came out were i m fine
but the faces did little to hide the worry

along the way it brought some tears
took away the smile that she so gracefully wears
when silent confession met staunch denial
it was certainly a time for trial

it seemed to be over when in front of my eyes
they appeared to say their last goodbyes
trying so desperately to drown their sorrow
in whatever little time they could borrow

but then its said that there is a god
his ways far greater than yours or mine
from the shadows of this big dark cloud
came out the bright morning sunshine

for them its time for a new beginning
to enjoy life in its full meaning
all this friend of theirs wants to say
that you ll alwys have my best wishes.

Absence Seizures

Is there a soul who will help me find
a way to control these thoughts in my mind
i need someone to suggest some measures
to get rid of these absence seizures.
