I Dream

I dream of making it big someday
I dream of flying high.
I hate when hindrances come my way
And my heart mouths out that poignant sigh.

I wish to reach a point from where all my problems seem so small
The place where from my dream seems so close
The place where it seems I have it all
A place where my aspirations would have no foes.

The path is not going to be easy or short,
I'll have to keep holding on.
For only then will I be able to proudly say "I fought"
For only then will I get the chance to say "I won"

I'll climb every mountain, I'll swim every sea,
I won't give up mid-way
I'll do everything that is required of me
So that "My dream is fulfilled" I'll say.

A walk along the ocean

I walked past the rolling ocean, looking at the waves crashing,
The azure breeze,the fresh smell and the beauty of nature.

We were both here a year ago, sitting side by side
Oblivious to the rest of the world, lost in each others eyes.

We laughed and joked about random things in life
How the day was! What a pleasant time! Just you and I

The next morning I found you were not by my side
I walked around everywhere but simply could'nt find you.

As I reached the shore, the ocean waves brought you to me
In your hands were wild flowers you had got especially for me.

My world came crashing down on me. Why did he love me so?
He had drowned just to get those flowers for me, but it was him who I had loved more

As I open my diary now, I see those lovely flowers I had in it saved
I touch them with my hands and wish, you had'nt left me alone this way.

Ode to a lost smile

Remember that time when you were stuck on your way,
Remember the time when you thought you saw your darkest day.

Didn't I come around and tell you things will be better and soon
Life has sent you enough curses, now it'll send you a boon.

See how my predictions became real,
The bright skies did end your ordeal.

I knew, I saw how hard you worked to get where you are,
I had seen you cry when the sweet success turned sour.

When you looked at me, I saw the dejection in those eyes so deep,
I promised you your smile and I don't make promises I can't keep.

I prayed and hard so you get could past the debacles,
I prayed so that you experience those unreal miracles.

And today when I see you smiling again
I realise my prayers haven't gone in vain
