Bullet

"I would take a bullet for you", the soldier had promised

"See ma, I kept my promise", his soul shouted as they wrapped him in the tricolour

Plug

He was struggling between life and death

She decided to free him of pain

Her heart broke into a million pieces as she pulled the plug on him

Twist of Fate

Dying in your arms is my last wish, she had once told him.

She lay there in a pool of blood,

His sinister laugh echoed as he left her dying!

I stand in front of you

Lost

Engulfed in the sorrows

I feel choked

As the chains tighten around my soul

I close my eyes

And take a deep breath

Absorbing the air around me

As the waves hit me

My feet sinks into the sand

And then you come again

And again

And again

Breaking all the shackles

And freeing my soul from the sorrows

And there I stand 

In front of you

Feeling the peace taking over

As you calm the chaos inside me

And I watch

The sun go down

Leaving it's beautiful mark on the sky

And a smile on my soul

If Only

If only, you have someone to listen to you;

If only, you have someone to feel your turmoil;

If only, you have someone to understand your pain;

May be then, you'll open up,

May be then, we'll be able to move a step closer,

May be then, we'll be able to actually care,

May be then, we'll understand that,

It's okay, not to be okay

It's okay, to breakdown

It's okay, to let your emotions flow

It's okay, to accept help and grow

May be then, we'll be able to hear the cries,

And may be then, we'll be able to save the lives,

If only, we both take one step, towards each other, at a time...

Musing

Every night he would sit by the window

And gaze into the never-ending night

The lights from the next building

Illuminated the entire sky

But all he felt was darkness inside

Like he was getting pulled down

By unknown forces of his mind

Tired of the constant struggle he would close his eyes

And as the cold breeze caressed his face

He would hear the soothing music

Coming from the neighbour's house

And like every other night he would fall asleep peacefully

Unaware of the cosmic forces 

Which wanted him 

To find his lost self again

And breathe life into his dead soul!
