In search of another sky

Life was ruthless and I was quiet,

Roads were dark and there was no plight,

Silence was profound and everything was numb.

When life took a turn, and shackles were shunned,

The dawn of hope pierced the darkness,

Was it a myth or mystic charm ,

That steered my heart and enlightened my soul.

I trampled the earth and walked on the desolate road,

The gusty winds blew past-by,

And I hovered in search of another sky.

Down the Memory Lane

Strolling down the memory lane,

I met her on the lonely road once again,

It was the dream I never dreamt.



I stood on the path, and she just walked like that,

I couldn't speak, as if it wasn't a dream,

Though distance was less, but our souls were far.



Now on those roads existed the smoke,

just reminiscence of fire,

Love was farce and loneliness was truth,

And all I own is a deep remorse.
