Shooting Star

Make a wish; Make a wish as a shooting star passes by in the darkest night

A wish to fulfill the dreams that may fade the line between what is real and what isn’t.
Our long cherished desire comes forth and lays a hand on the shoulder,

But this burden has been weighing for far too long now

For reasons yet to reveal in front of our closed eyes.

So make a wish towards the heavens to lift the veil

For we’ve been living a lie for far too long now and we won’t let go this chance of a shooting star.

For what it’s worth, we’d know that we tried,

May be not hard enough, but this burden is just too heavy on our souls.

All we did is to close our eyes and made a wish,

In the darkest night searching for a light in our lovers eyes

With regrets of our lost moments and all the misspoken words,

The truth we carried in our hearts but failed to utter.

Vague meanings of our emotions like some old forgotten scripture of past,

We silenced the hopes and wishes that were made.

Too scared to let go of the cowardice acts inscribed in the heart.

And a shooting star is our only hope, the last light to hold on to.

And make a wish; A wish for the strength to let go, to see through the eyes of our end.

This tiresome act of living has to end somewhere

This burden is just too heavy, and I’m ready for someone else to take over

For this is my wish of a shooting star, a wish to be dead and forgotten

Buried in all the regrets and without a remembrance.

Distant Shadows

A cloudless sky and a few distant shadows in the horizon

So far and yet so close, so close to our naked eyes.

Like the arbitrary thoughts that crosses the mind

So close but never to be captured with a conscious glance,

A few shadows and a droplet of rain, may be a dark night and a walk to the unknown

In the midnight, to the shadows or without a destination

It’s just another night in the life, a few dead wishes and birth of an old memory,

Just another walk to the horizon and may be this time it’ll be different.

The shadows will remain and reveal themselves to these eyes without any surprise,

And it’ll be time to rest finally, at the end of the day.

Yes just another night in this life, same old lies and a few arbitrary thoughts as always,

Another walk to forget what’s been burned into the memory,

Or may be to create new ones, whichever is easier

To erase or to create; at the end of the day it’s just another walk of life.

In a road less traveled, to see the shadows that’s been hiding there forever,

Under a cloudless sky at the end of this road.

May be then I'll close my eyes and let it rest to never open again,

I'll wrap myself with a comforting sheet of darkness to find some solace,

Some peace, away from my mind and all the thoughts that won’t leave me alone,

To take back what I’ve lost and to find something new,

At the feet of a dark night may be it’ll end and I won’t long to see those distant shadows again,

For I'll be one of them, waiting for someone else to find me and may be stay and never to go away.
