Assorted Emotions

Moonbeams on your pillow, A little twinkling star above your bed. Angels serenading you with a lullaby, A web of dreams spun with a silky thread. The gates are barricaded, no thought from the real world can enter. There ain't any need for them anyway, This kingdom is filled with enough wonders. The only thing expected of you, is to let yourself go completely. Give in so that soothing sleep can take over, And make you forget your worries. You'll wake up smiling That I can surely say. That's half the battle won, Bring on the day !!!

I'm lost, wandering aimlessly. I hear noises, but can't see a familiar face. There are places to be reached but I can't walk anymore. Pain sears through my body like an angry river rushing through land. Destructing everything in it's wake Not stopping not wavering. The horizon darkens, The world becomes a cacophony of noises. I suddenly realize I am where I was ages ago, That life hasn't moved at all. Is it just me who feels this way? Am I being paranoid? Why does the feeling intensify all the time Why is there no end to this emptiness. I guess the questions will remain embedded in the grains of time Unyielding, unchanging. Just like the future ahead.

I think I've lost a friend. I lost her in an endless sea of faces. I lost her at the cross roads of life. I left her alone in the land of the unknown, and living in the land of the dead. She might be searching for someone out there, Searching for a companion in this godforsaken place. Every face might be suspicious,every voice alien. And though she might be trying hard to survive, she knows the effort is a waste. She waits for the break of dawn, on a dark moonless night She tries hard to remain cheerful, even though she knows her plight. The friend I've lost is me, and many other people like me. Trying to find peace in a world which is torn apart by hatred and war. Trying to rediscover ourselves as human beings, though I can say we have not reached far.

Sometimes when my dreams suddenly crash with reality, and hopes become a hazy blur. When the world I made comes tumbling down, like a precarious pack of cards. It is at times like these I wonder, Why do we dream? Why do we aspire? Why all the hopes, the visions? Why can't the heart just surrender, to the grim and harsh truth that life is. And this is what my heart tells me That we dream so that we may achieve, We aspire so that we can strive. We hope so that there's a reason to live We visualise to fill colours in a dull life. Life is beautiful, even when it's not a dreamland. Life can be felt, by smiling and braving all the odds. Life is not just about sleeping on a bed of roses. Life is also walking gaily on a road full of thorns. And whatever life gives you, take it with a heartfelt smile And see the troubles cease. Learn to live just for the moment and life will pass with ease.
