A Solitary Vagabound

O sweet sleep,
why do you run away,
why don't you come,
and let us play.
...

You are standing at the shore,
and all you see is placid lake,
the surface seems so serene, almost surreal,
like you are in a dream, even if you're awake.
...

You work hard not because you want to be secure,
You keep trying because you want to explore,
You just want to know what lies in the store,
This curiosity is what you live for,
...

Lying in the deathbed,
with all your hopes are gone,
waiting for the angels,
to come and take you home.
...

Why can't I accept the fact, that sometimes love is what it takes,
I know that you are the only one who knows my heart's sake,

I have been a wanderer, going places where sorrow was rife,
...

Such a beautiful night, when all the stars shine so bright,
Mind is wandering among them and the eyelids are light,

Memories of you make my heart jump in delight,
...

Where the life has brought me these days,
Searching for true friends in this endless maze,

Now thats pretty hard just like reading in the dark,
...

*This Poem is about Hindu God Shiva, The Lord of time and the Lord of death.

The third eye opens,
and the universe brightens,
...

Trying to get free,
from all these shackles,
of pain and destruction,
and reborn I'll be,
...

Waiting for sun rays to come and show me light,
To draw the curtains on this eerie night,
Embark on a new new day, a new quest,
Fighting for every bit of life as always,
...

What a beautiful morning,
Golden sunshine so sweet,
I look out of the window,
And a friendly sun greets,
...

I hate love...and I am scared of it....
because it makes me feel,
and it makes me fear,
and it makes me vulnerable,
...

Black blood flowing out of my hand,
Dripping on the paper as I write,
I see it but I don't fear it, I feel no pain
In fact I am feeling perfectly alright,
...

The strings of life seem strained,
All efforts seem to go in vain,
I've been in so much pain,
that I can't even explain,
...

Whenever I look in the mirror,
I see the face of a stranger,
Sometimes its smiling, sometimes its sad,
But I can never relate to that,
...

I feel the Stranger is chasing me down,
and there is a fear growing inside me,
The fear that I am the fake and he is the real one,
The fear that my life is not real but a farce,
...

I used to be mad before,
But now I'm going insane,
I have been dreaming about this,
Whether I'm awake or asleep,
...

He loved to sit on the rocks in front of the ocean,
beers by his side and cigs in his hands.
He loved to sit and think.
Falling down a spiral as the thoughts spiraled up in his mind,
...

There are weird thoughts crawling in my brain,
Waiting to come out as soon as I pick up a pen,
hese thoughts are simple and plain,
Even then I'm trying to keep a restrain,
...
