the tempest and the deep woods

this is about hard times that everyone goes through.......the deep woods n the tempest are metaphors for troubles...... which wont last......we will




This long night is dark, a storm is nigh
I'm lost in woods deep, wanderin 'neath the azure sky
those stars, my only friends are but far away
a tempest blows over, the canvas is covered dark n gray


 The pitter-patter begins, musical then manic
My hum is now no more, for I shudder n panic
I fear what I not see, I tremble from what I hear
The rains quench that forest earth, paradise is not here !!

You owls ! screeching away in glee or sorrow (?)
You wolves hunting me in packs, wait even till 'morrow
You creatures of the dark, may consume me whole....
You unknown ghosts, shades of wandering souls.....


I'm not afraid of ye, for you may break my bone
All may have this earthy offering, on which light shone(once)
What I fear, unseen still, is what shall leave mine
is but me who runs not with me, westward thine !


Yes I travel eastward, I face the poring rain
I travel facing the wind, I bear the searing pain
For there yonder is where the sun shall rise
That bright lands' what I seek, the kingdom wise....


This night maybe dark, the storm maybe strong
Those woods grow only deeper,the path maybe wrong
But I still head east for I still have one friend
HOPE be his name, and I hold him true till the end........

generations

What I took from ye is inspiration
what I shalt give is for years to see,
and talk about, overawed by a legend
towering in presence, that shalt be me !


Obstacles are many, valleys many more
but they shall be dwarfed by a step of mine
and one gaze shall change course of rivers
food to them hungry, gods to that shrine


Hail me ye stargazers ! behold heavens on earth
For today rises a new age, of new blood
that looks far ahead, far beyond horizons
those boundaries created are just slime n mud








He smiles, all knowing, grey after many seasons
the creases, the wrinkles, a mirror of weathers beaten
those eyes, grey they are too, seen storms many
the lands have tilled, crops golden from earth heathen

His smile, unsettles even a giant such as I for,
his comfort knows a knowledge that not knows me
his walk is sagacious, judgement just impeccable
He gives me a talisman, and breaks illusions glee.....


"your spirits soars like winds, but fly like a phoenix
your blood gushes, but rivers in spate starve many
fire brings light, burns faith and is the element alive
The earth maybe steady, when trembles it destroys any


Listen to my call for I saw once what you do see
I felt the rush what you feel, swaggered too
But I bowed to teachers named life and time
Learnt the world, that wisdom now I teach you......

Das Leben ist Kampf

 for the friends of mine....who shall soon chase their greener dreams  [here n elsewhere]....who have achieved what they worked for....who have struggled and yet never lost hope nor faith...


There was a time in my childhood,
when i believed I could fly....
A lil hope, a lil effort I thought i should
make it there n soar high in the sky

As i grew older the world  around grew too
outwards, inwards, with chasms and peak
my path changed but my dream remained true....
my skys still out there, it calls me to seek



Like the angry river in a deathly spate,
the going got tough, them times changed
i bothered nay triviality,luck nor fate....
I was brave......I stood apart and led the high ground


My dreams are still the great blue and white
My wings now is the efoort that'll carry me home
My destination sheens like heavens in a starry night
and then the razen villages shall rise to be rome
