What I always wanted


Always wanted to be the guy
holding the guitar
Always wanted that long drive
in a luxuruious car


Always wanted the gals to feel like
I was their dream guy
Always wanted to let the guys know
I was a friend worth the try


Always wanted to be the best
at what I did
Always wanted to keep pushing
at that closed lid


Always wanted to know about
a thousand little things
Always wanted to be the jack of all trades who 
could outshine the so-called kings


But between what I always wanted
and what I was going to be
came the the deep and turbulent ocean
which we call reality


Now what I am 
is the guy holding the pen
Now I want to shed light on things
shoved into the dark and endless den


Now I don't want to be any girl's dream guy
for I'm sure the one who is yet to be
would wake up from her dreams
and on a day not so far,meet me.


Now,I still want to be a master
of my limited arts
Still want to aim for the bull's eye
never falling short of darts


So what, if the tides of time
create a bit of varience
if you always knew what you wanted to be
you will shine someday
with unparalleled radiance

A Candle in the Dark

The white burning candle, Standing in the dark.. on its own, trying to illuminate everything around, albeit the darkness has persistently grown. It is aware that it is alone, while the darkness around it is vast It is devoted to being lit, even as its existence melts fast But is it really a candle? Or is it the flame of hope? That tries to hang on in times of despair, and tries to cling on to that last bit of rope. It keeps burning still, battling the known and the unknown, all hidden in the darkness around. It shrinks in size, with its head held high, still believing that it is glory abound.

Memoirs of my December : Part I : Delhi

This one's a non-poem post by me after a long,long time. But it had to be something special to make it to this blog, and so it is. This one's about my holidays in the last month. Here it goes... 8th Dec 2010: Everything was looking set. Exams were going to get over in two days time, and I was going to fly off to nani's place in Delhi after 5 long months at college. So i was evidently happy the evening when an sms from Spice Jet that wiped the smile clean off my face. It stated that my flight had been cancelled due to 'unforeseen circumstances' and that 'the inconvinence caused was deeply regretted' .... yeah right! After a series of calls between me and dad, it was decided that he would go and check out at the airport as to what SpiceJet was going to do about the whole situation since I had my last exam on 10th and had to prepare for it 9th Dec 2010: Dad visited the airport, SpiceJet informed him that they would be happy to adjust me in a f...

Beauty

As a lovely Sunday fades into the night, I realize how beautiful life can be, I see the beauty that lies around me, and feel the beauty that is out of sight. The beauty of a simple smile, The beauty of a good morning wish, The beauty in a conversation  which can disarm me completely for a while. The beauty when a tree waves at me, The beauty of the clouds as they gather, The beauty of the leaves that rustle, And the beauty of the breeze that sets them free. The beauty of a lovely present, The beauty weaved into past memories, The beauty of a future which awaits me, with open arms without any resent. The beauty in visualizing dreams, The beauty in waiting for them to get fulfilled, The beauty lies in life itself, maybe not in full, but in parts it seems.
