How far ?

How far can you go

If you got nothing to achieve

Nothing to look for

Nothing to be

When you have won it all

Or lost every bit

When you know the end has begun

How far can you go

For when you are left with no purpose

No goals

And no thoughts to behold

How far can you go

When there is no one to celebrate with

No one to admire you

No one to desire you

How far can you go

When you find no one to look upon

No one to compete

No glory to glamour

No story to blabber 

How far can you go

When the sun doesn’t show up

After the long dark night

And the owl hoots

At the haunt of your sight!

How far will you go

Before you realise

All the things you think kills you

Is what keeping you alive!

The Crowd

Between destiny and destination 

The thoughts swayed in dismay

Like the snow from the shoulders

Shrugged away

They stand still

For some wind to guide them

Like it guides the rain

Hoping to reach a place 

Steady and peaceful

Where the hustle is mocked upon

And where the stories of their miserable life

Will never be looked upon

That’s all they want

For they stand still

Like the tree which grows to fade in autumn 

And the river born to loose it’s existence to the ocean 

They close their eyes to hide from the light

And hope that no one would see they gave up on the fight

For those who give up

Tell no tales of victory 

They look for a life

To hide away their misery

For not all are born

To conquer the world

Some stay in the audience

And just applause

The Wait

When lost in thoughts

I’m with me

The reels of reality don’t suit me

Those days, when we waited for the better time

The best it was

That passed by

I scoop into the layers

Of smiles and happiness

The one that seems 

Distant past

Distant future

Distant in faith

Yet destined!

Yet destined, I know they are

For that’s what the nature has taught

The loop of night and day

Of summer and winter

Of rain and dry

Of spring and autumn 

Of life and death

I know we will meet

When the grasses turn green

And the sky bit more blue

Till then I have it all in my mind to relive

The memories I had stuck with my heart’s glue
