Let The Sun Rise

Subdue those feelings in my heart,

I’ll be fine if I look away,

Capture those moments making you smile,

Losing them somewhere on my way;

Oh! All the broken hearts afloat,

Sailing in the river tracing boat,

Going somewhere you’re not sure,

Let the sun rise just once more,

I can never tell you how I feel,

Never to meet if another life be real,

Watching the sun set, all alone,

Let the sun rise just once more;

Smiling though your heart is in pain,

Hiding those tears in the rain,

Guilt is greater than your shame,

People don’t remember your name;

And in the evening of our days,

When we've lost our choice of ways,

So when I greet you at your door,

Let the sun rise just once more;

For the life you never chose to be,

When our deeds flow down the sea,

As the sun sets by that shore,

Let the sun rise just once more;

Forgotten moments that I've lived,

Moments I don’t wish to keep,

Dreams of things I wanted to gain,

From which I've willingly abstained,
For circumstances are adverse in life,

The hero always struggles to rise,

At the darkness of its core,

Let the sun rise just once more;

Keep the joy of knowing you’re alive,

Making something out of this life,

Meeting you when I explore,

Let the sun rise just once more.

In The End

As the day comes to a close,

Sunlight fades to a golden glow,

Rising darkness emerging slow,

Time has paused in its flow,

And my soul is not willing to go,

Lost a friend, not long ago;

Sitting by his side, the silence speaks,

While he rests peacefully underneath,

The voices playing inside my head,

Too bold to lead, too meek to spread,

Slowly consuming a part of me,

As I close my eyes, forget reality;

Trying to capture the memories shared,

I feel them slipping, I had not cared

To preserve them, and now I find myself

Wanting to wake my friend and ask for help,

And I realize, although I didn’t see,

It was the only thing that he left me;

Sadness grows as I rise to depart,

Tears are only for the weakest heart,

I cannot cry, that sense is gone,

With a hollow heart I must carry on,

Filled with regret for the moments lost,

Waiting to fathom what the priceless cost,

Should’ve given more time, he was a good friend,

Only if I’d known what lay in the end.

Confined

The darkness seems aglow, painted by aided light,

A candle burning slowly in the rainy night,

Outside the cold winds blow, the moon is on the sky,

It looks another way, seen by another life,

If sorrow never leaves you, Time becomes a pain,

If age has left you now, you don’t remember when,

Your features make you blur and you don’t look the same,

Like you would if you had a name;

Sitting inside my cell, watching my life go by,

I can’t remember when my teardrops drown the sky,

Outside the storm may calm, never the same inside,

It’s like the ashes rising, when the fire died,

Imprisoned in a cell, locked up inside my thoughts,

Until the vibrant mind has turned to brittle rot,

Living the life oppressed, the stronger roams about,

Caged in for shouting out;

Counting the stars aglow, like golden fire spots,

I feel my thoughts back tracking to connect the dots,

Moments of solitude, moments of love and pain,

Pictures are pouring down, like droplets in the rain,

But when it strikes the ground, the pictures break apart,

Like feelings leaving when, a lover breaks a heart,

I try collecting them and storing on the rack,

In hopes of returning back;

I see another life, a life devoid of glee,

I didn’t know back then what it was meant to be,

The grey would turn to black, the colours drenched in gloom,

Living a world with rules, set for impending doom,

And all I used to feel, how love can be so grim?

I never had a guide, just when I needed him,

Swayed off the course too fast, fell in the deepest pit,

Where no other light can be lit;

The rain begins to calm, my mind begins to ease,

Feeling the droplets floating in the sudden breeze,

The free are free to roam; their thoughts are never tied,

Why does the world behave then, like it’s not alike?

And while the child’s asleep, the evil plays about,

And he is left to wake up in a world of doubt,

So when he tries to dream, the world is not so kind,

Just like me he lives confined;

I’ve lived my life, in utter sacrifice,

Looking through metal bars, at the clear skies,

Maybe the dreams are gone; maybe the hope’s alight,

I hear my heart still beating in the silent night,

Climbing through narrow panes, to the world outside,

Floating through clouds ablaze, on a final ride,

I hear my mind go free, starting to speak alike,

Maybe it’s time to rise….

Half past Time

The light I see,

The rain I hear,

The winds I feel,

Will disappear;

The beauty seen,

The beauty felt,

Will someday,

Leave me here;

The rhythm of a clock,

Like heartbeats count,

My life on earth,

A limited phase;

Time untied,

Will flow away,

And lead me to,

The end of my days;

As I leave,

A vibrant earth,

This surreal,

End of time;

God knows where,

I’ll open my eyes,

Once again,

After I die;

A life is born,

A life is lost,

The cycle goes on,

Relentlessly;

The time I live,

The work I do,

The things I leave,

Can live beyond me;

If I choose,

To leave behind,

Footprints drawn,

On new frontiers;

To leave ideas,

To be ideal,

And show them a way,

When I’m not here;

The people may lose,

Their state of mind,

But hope won’t be,

For a counted few;

I stand for them,

In my life,

Try and create,

Something new;

Man progress,

The future lies,

For us to start,

On the present day;

To build something,

Like a sapling springs,

Growing into a tree,

On a future day;

Live in peace,

And leave fulfilled,

A life is great,

Life is divine;

Let them be proud,

For the life I lived,

When my time is past,

At half past time….
