Lost & Found

An endless passage an empty street,

An empty lone room can be more than it seems.

Thousands of thought and an empty feeling,

I realized I am lost in between all the shiny bling.

Lost in the thoughts,

Hidden in the corners of my brain,

M’ lost in the expedition,

M’ lost in the lane.

Lost in the sorrows,

M’ lost in the smiles,

I’ll bring me back to life,

But let me be lost for a while.

M’ lost in the Ice,

M’ lost in the fire,

M’ lost in the traces of an unknown Desire.

It’s pouring hard outside,

M’ lost in the droplets of rain,

M’ lost in the ease,

M’ lost in the pain.

I hope someone will find me,

I am somewhere close.

I am lost in those thorns,

In the petals of Rose

I am Lost in those deserts,

I am Lost in sand dunes,

M’ lost in the ocean,

In the notes of a tune

Lost in the sleeve, m’ lost in the hood,

M lost in the bad, m’ lost in the good.

I wish to be found and I guess…

Someone surely would…!!

Someone would switch on the light,

And find me if he could…

M’ lost in that ray of sun,

M’ lost in the woods.

I knew I was walking,

I sensed I lost the path…

And when I found my destination,

My path forgot the math.

I am Lost in the monsoon shower,

Lost in the summer breeze,

Lost in the spring that hovers,

M’ lost in a falling leaf.

Find me if you know where m’ I?

Find me in the truths, find me through the lies.

Find me on the shore in the castle of sand,

The wave must have drowned me to another land.

I lost myself to be found once again,

To see who finds me… to know who can’t…

To find who clings… to find who’ll leave…

To find out all the notions my heart believes.

In all these moments of being lost,

I found myself a real me.

Found all the answers hidden in a plea.

I found the simplicity behind the spree.

In the middle of a sandstorm,

I was a struggling flower…

I was lost in the weakness, but found myself in the power…!!

Complicated Heart

I saw dreams,

Lovely, incredible, filled with gleam,

Walking in a lane, flowers in my path,

It’s hard to fathom this complicated heart,

God knew my queries, my question that I asked,

The more I frowned… the more he laughed.

A piece of text, a group of words, a simple phrase,

My heart feeling abandoned, looking for a place,

Reading & re-reading one simple name,

My eyes never tire, never ended the game…

Held tight, all the strength & smile on your door,

Later you discover, what you had was just the floor.

And you find out it wasn’t yours that you wore,

And wonder if it’s ever gonna be yours?

I loved living in dreams,

Truth banged my head…

I somehow befriended the truth,

Dreams felt sad, alone, but never said.

There was a reason why I saved myself those memories,

Everyone laughed…

Everyone told me what they feel,

What I want… nobody asked.

I had a choice to make… I had 2 ways to go,

Thought one of them, I was definitely sure.

I kept standing they chose it for me on their own,

What I longed for, no one ever known.

Walking down an empty street with an endless gaze,

“You’ve something in your mind…” they say.

My heart has inside it, millions of verbs & nouns,

I don’t know if m’ standing still or going down…

Large waves hitting noisily on the rocks in my heart,

My thoughts are frayed… they were not in the start…

Rain drops kept dangling over me above,

But they never knew about the things I love.

All I wanted was to feel the new sun on my face,

Wanted to walk this life as a smooth maze…

And in my answer they gave me this complicated heart that never behaved…

Yes I was walking in a lane with flowers in my path,

But it’s still hard to fathom this complicated heart.

Well it’s hard to fathom (understand) what I wrote here… so... never mind ;)

Little Things...

Little things…

You feel them everyday & you may not know they say something.

Sometimes you cry, sometimes you sing,

Sometimes you fall down… sometimes you swing…

Sometimes while standing high on a hill,

Wind blows across your hair & lips…

And suddenly you want to open up your arms n smile,

And wrap yourself in your arms, thinking of someone special, making it worthwhile.

Little things… yet they mean a lil’ something,

Sometimes while swinging on a swing,

You take some nice steps & pitch yourself high,

As if you wanna fly… high up in the sky…

Little things… you would never think…

Why you felt happy when someone special saw you & winked?

Yeah… it’s not a little thing, having your first kiss,

But it is when you close your eyes & smile, every time you think of it.

Sometimes sitting at the terrace, staring at the sky,

Waiting for a star to fall at night,

So that you can make one of your wish come true,

And you fall asleep, waiting all through…

Little things…

While standing in a park in the middle of a street,

A tiny droplet of rain fall on your sleeve,

And you look up in the sky & watch thousands of them falling on your face,

You just smile & do nothing; instead let them wet you all through your way.

Sometimes taking a long walk in the dark,

You see a star smiling to you & you smile back at the star,

And you decide to sleep on the hammock in the garden & walk on wet grass bare foot,

And you watch trees dancing with the wind and you want to be a flower in them too.

Walking on a silent beach or on a sea shore,

Staring at the horizon & sparkling stones,

You take a deep breath & smile on your mind & on things going around in it,

They, who never leave you alone, are these tiny little things...

Little things… they happen with us all the time…

But often… we are just too busy to notice….!!

Take some time out for yourself… feel them… enjoy them…!!
