Why Can't I...???

Why can't I speak when there's so much to tell?
Why can't I write when I have so much in mind?
Why can't I sing when there's music in my heart?
Why can't I dance when air has this rhythm divine?

Too many words are left unsaid
Too many things that were left undone
Why can't it let be and why can't i?
For all i know, this pain deep inside-
Has taken away all the peace from my heart,
And left this ache, reminding me of the start...

For as long as we're apart,
I can never be complete;
And I long for the impossibility,
When we shall finally meet...

But the wait shall never end,
My agony will continue...
'Coz I can't stop my hopeless heart,
Every moment, from loving you...

To Lata...

I wear my heart on my sleeve
The world is my oyster, I believe

I see things the way they are
And wont be blinded by shiny stars

I talk of perfection of the inner self
Spirituality n psych, on my bookshelf

I hear people speak their minds
And many a thing I learn & find

I live in the time present now
I believe in moving on somehow

I strive to keep on the right track
However, temptations I do not lack

I wanna live my life to the hilt
but not drown in hordes of guilt

I dream of having it all
But am afraid of a fall

Mine should be a tale to tell
Minds I capture, n ideas I sell

That's who I am n who I wanna be
What can I say, that's just me!

For Him...

That face of innocence,
Those eyes full of care;
Words full of promise,
And expression and flair...

A mind that creates-
Thoughts of touching the sky;
Upon wings of ideas,
That spread and soar high...

Arms full of warmth-
And a loving embrace;
But never do they lack,
In strength or in grace...

A heart so pure-
As the first drop of rain;
Its love, a cure so strong,
That can erase any pain...

His world's untouched,
Unblemished by life...
Kept in a globe of glass,
That try as i might-
Cannot but touch,
Or go too close;
For if I be a thorn,
Then he, the rose...

Black & White

black and white
thats how the world is to me
i do not know its colors
have not seen its beauty

darkness and light
is how the days go by
there are no greys in life
their existence, i deny

weakness and might
are the people divided
games n gambles played
n so the world is sided

things wrong n things right
all our sins laid bare
life's a twisted game
n i'm just another player

Ek Ladki

ek ladki hai madmast si
apni hi duniya me vyasth si
sochti na jane kya rehti hai
har pal kahin khoi rehti hai

anjaan, dhunein sunti rehti
kisi se kabhi kuch na kehti
har baat me dhundhe gehraai
aankho mein chhipi koi sachaai

jaane kya hai mann mein iske
doobi rahe khwabo mein jiske
kya hai gham kya pareshani
koi na jaane iski kahaani

kisi anjaan dar se darti hai
usse ladne ki koshish karti hai
thak kar haar kar chur hoti
aankho se behte phir uske moti

phir bhi kuch is tarah dil chhuti
sadgi ki ho koi pyari si vibhuti
mann mein apni jagah banati
anjaani se apni ban jaati...
