Invictus

Invictus by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Together we stand...

Together we stand side by side
In the charming blue moon light
Holding hands in hands
Hearts speaking revealing the secrets
Of you, I and we
Of life &death and love & hate
Together we stand side by side
In the charming blue moon light

Desire...

A beautiful desire that I know
A beautiful desire that is you
A desire to express your true self
A desire to be at peace with self
A desire to keep worries at bay
A desire to live life in heyday
A desire to cherish and love others
A desire to help people in bothers
A desire to dream and dream forever
A desire to meet destiny once and forever

Sky in Night...

When I look up to the sky
I feel a rush of energy fly
Through out my body and soul
Uniting the self with the whole
I feel stars speaking to me
Sprinkling their wisdom over to me
The full moon adds to the glee
The silver shine traversing my heart

We are Meeting...

Two roads running parallel
Every now and then gave us a feeling
A feeling that they will overlap
We kept on waiting and waiting
Every time they appeared coming close
But never they seemed coming too close
Close enough to cross each other
Close enough to be with one other
We can not believe that this is real
Destiny can not be this much cruel
We thought these are your and mine way
Oh no ! but they are not our way
But, we kept on the belief and faith in Him
And behold our faith and belief
As we see a miracle happening here
The divergent roads here come crossing
There we go crossing each others way
Oh we are blessed as we meet again !
The roads have crossed and here we are
Together holding each others hand
The patience has paid off on destiny's way
We are happy we are gay
We are thankful to Him
To make us meet this way
The destiny has made us meet again
It will make us meet again
With this belief we follow our path
Only to meet again and again

Warrior...

Life is like a quest
Half a pace and half a rest
A fight going on for the best
Bringing more and more people to rest
Who will survive this battle?
The battle amongst the best
One who has all the mettle?
Or one who has the will to win the battle?
Only time would answer this riddle
A battle for life, a battle of life
One showing both will and mettle
I hope should emerge as the victor of the battle
A battle amongst the best of the best

Do I love you or I not?

Do I love you or I not
I gave this thought a little thought
The thought made me feel more distraught
I thought over it again and again
Just to put my efforts in vain
My heart is grueling with pain
As I wondered again was it you or my thought
Are you my love or are you not
Do I need you or I not
I gave this thought a little thought
A thought that life had brought
A charming fantasy that I thought
An exhilarating reality that you brought
All to turn as a mere thought
As I wondered again
Making me feel insane
Do I care about you or I not
I give this thought a little thought
Are you my love or are you not
I wondered you were not
I pondered over it again and again
Only to feel more pain
Is it you or my thought
I have written as I thought...

Mother.. Where art thee?

Oh my mother where art thee?
Please come to the fore to rescue me
I am down, I am lost
Beaten all hands up and completely tossed
The days are murky, nights are menacing
Every moment that I live is pain augmenting
What is this chaos?
Within the body and my heart?
Why the attachments? Why these emotions?
Life is so true without all these passions
Was it too much that I asked?
Or a thought that I should have never thought
You made me figment that very thought
A purpose for which I will live I thought
But now I am getting insane
Facing failures after failures and disdain
Oh my mother where art thee?
Please come to the fore and rescue me
Shower your love and give me shelter
Let me sleep in your lap forever and ever

Night....

Here you come oh my soulmate !
You make me think and write
You make me look at the brighter side of the life
You make me understand the value of light
You give me shelter and the rest
All the solitude and the peace
All the awareness and the bliss
Everything in the morning which I miss
From you I emerged in you I would go
Oh here you come my soulmate again !

Lost Battle...

The body is waning
The energy is draining
The soul is weary
The weather is murky
It seems like the end is not so far
But I have still not done my part
To whom should I pass this baton?
Who will take this to its destination?
I dreamt a dream which seems I won’t be fulfilling
To whom should I pass to realize that which is missing?
Oh it seems there won’t be any takers
For my dream is only for dream makers
I want to finish this all on my own
But don’t know if I will be left with any bone

A Call...

I felt down and low
After talking to you so
I don’t know why
I felt I will cry
There is a pain in my heart
That is tearing me apart
It happens time and again
I feel like insane
I feel I should be in slumber
For now and forever

A Fire.. that's burning

There is a fire that's burning me
Deep inside that's cursing me
Asking me to get up and get going
Not to spend my time in rueing
You are sent here for a purpose
Oh lonely warrior fulfill that purpose
A purpose to cure the humanity from the evil
A purpose to vanquish the heinous devil

Darkness to Light

After the sunset, there is sunrise
From the darkness emerges the light
After crying, you learn to laugh
After stumbling, you learn to walk
From failures, you learn to succeed
From sorrows you learn to merry
When broke you understand economy
When bereft you value the dear ones
The darker side teaches you the brighter one
Then why to run away from the darker one?
Go fight the darkness to emerge with the light
The light of life, the light of seeing things all right!

Rendezvous with You

I have a rendezvous with you my be’ loved

But thy should wait and wait for long

As I have just started on my path

A path to reach you once and forever

A path to bring you all the glory that I can

A path which will make us one

A path that will give me peace

A path that will free me from worldly bondage

A path that will take me to divine

But thy should wait and wait for long

As I have just started on my path

I will keep my promise my be’loved

We will meet once and forever

But thy should wait and wait for long

As I have just started on my path

Thought I should Write

I thought I should write
What all should I write
About the morning and the sun
Or the people and their fun
About the night and the sky
Or the memories flying by
About the beauty of the nature
Or about all its creature
About the love that keeps me haunting
Or the hate that is daunting
About the friends whom I miss
Or the enemies who think me amiss
About the relations that will perish
Or the beautiful incidents that I will cherish
About the long and interesting walks
Or the sweetness of your talks
About the moon and the stars
Or the chaos and internal wars
Oh there is so much to write
I don’t know what all to write

Oh I have so much to share!

Oh I have so much to share
To put them into words is not fair

Let me take out my heart
Hoping that it will not be in part
Let me gift you it like an open book
So you can have a first hand look

In the beginning you will see mother's pain
And the memories of joyous rain
Then you will see me stumble as I learn to walk
While simultaneously doing some cryptic talk

Further down you will see me learning
Learning new things with the art of discerning
A little further you will see me with friends
With whom I have learned all these trends

Further down you will see me lost
While determining what life will cost
While trying to find it day after day
Learning from the people who all betray

I learned a very important lesson
That I have been given life for a reason
That reason is a burning desire
A desire to bring people out of mire

I decided I will never say die
Till I have not lived the purpose of life
With this resolve I am moving ahead
Meeting people who are living and dead

Oh on your way, you would have seen joy and sorrow
And the dreams that I have dreamt for morrow
You would have experienced love and passion
And all the things that I did without reason

After listening to the soul's song
If you feel like calling and coming along
Don't forget to notice the ink of my art
As that is what you are to my heart

I can go the distance - Hercules

Lyrics of a track from Hercules:

I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero’s welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I'll find my way, if I can be strong
I know every mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to YOU
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait

It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won’t accept defeat
It’s an uphill slope, but I won’t lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero’s strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I'll go the distance
I'll search the world, I'll face it’s harms

I don’t care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero’s welcome, waiting in YOUR arms

I'll search the world, I'll face its harms
Till I find my hero’s welcome, waiting in YOUR arms !!!!

Oh I dreamed of the impossible, Moon and Sun together!!!

When I look up to the sky I used to wonder about what is there that keep the moon and the sun rising?

Day after day they will rise again, one in night and one in day. When they both belong to same blue sky, why can’t they be together once in a while. As I went further into my dream, I just wondered how they can be alone when the world is full of stars. I thought they are probably made for each other as they complement each other round the clock. But was it not unfair that they can’t be with each other? Then I dreamed of evening when the sun sets and the moon rise and the morning dawn when the moon sets and the sun rise. I thought oh this is the time when the two of them are together in the azure sky, talking to each other. The sun getting healed by moon’s angelic light and probably the sun giving the energy to moon to stay bright amid the darkest hours of the nights.

But behold this; the law of divine has something else stored.

Remainder some other day........ for the time being I have to wake up and do some work....

In the Darkness do I write?

In the darkness, do I write?
About the bright and lively life,
Is it the emptiness?
Reminding me of the surrounding,
Is it sorrow?
Reminding me of joy,
Is it hate?
Reminding me of love,
Is it failure?
Reminding me of success,
Is it means?
Reminding me of the ends,
Is it this body?
Reminding me of soul,
Is it death?
Reminding me of Life,
Strange aren’t the ways of life?
To teach us what really is life.

We Will Be Together

Wrote for my close pals.....

It’s the beginning of the journey not the end
Let time tell if we can keep our promises till the end
I understand there are emotions and expectations
Friendship is not just about telling them but meeting them
Let time tell if we are friends or not
Our deeds will reflect whether we care or not
Allow this relation to blossom and get wings
Let this bird fly out in the outer world
At the end will we see whether the wings
The wings of trust that we gave, were strong or not?
Was our trust just another façade?
Let time tell if we were friends or not
Can we stand by each other and still being apart?
The journey will be long and intricate
On the way, we will meet people who fabricate
There will be a few desert storms
That may change our life’s norms
Apart still together guiding each other will we be
Let time tell if we can pass its test
It’s the beginning of the journey not the end
Let time tell if we can keep our promises till the end
