rakesh jaddu

She’s got a garden in her backyard,
Two plantlets, waiting to become plants,
She waters them everyday with care,
She wants them to grow, oh so fast!
...

…and years go by waiting for you,
A lonely cry, a moist tear,
Is all the company I have here.
...

I try to hold on to you so tight,
But you always end up victorious in the fight.
I try to hold you close,
And never let you go away
...

Two dreams vaporized into dust,
Two nations displayed cold eyed lust.
Two kids played in the sand that day,
...

The sun is covered, its glory lost;
The earth shivers, shrouded in frost.
As the light of day faded,
Clouds of rain paraded.
...

There I stand; staring at myself.
Could I have been anybody else?
Could I have changed what was meant for me?
Or did I have to surrender to destiny?
...

There’s a path I’ve never walked on,
There’s a road left forlorn,
There’s a place where desolate dreams come true,
But that’s a place I can’t go with you.
...

Waiting to die, he reflected on his past.
Waiting for the right time,
He let life pass.
...

Shuffling down this path of gloom,
I observe there is much more room.
Fear dominates cheer here,
And sweat is replaced by the tear.
...

All these shades of gray,
Nibbling into my black and white
Will one day convince me,
That they are, but black and white.
...

Looking from the outside,
At a life I live today.
I wonder where the end began,
I wonder when I died.
...
