Confession of a Lifetime

CONFESSION OF A LIFETIME

- Shashank, 25^th September, 2007

I am the most confused

Like most of us are

I don’t have the power

To praise that star...

Which looks most sparkling amidst those bright

Which comes in my dreams, steals my night

Which always remains so deep in my sight

Gleams so beautiful, smitten by its lovely light

But that’s where I stop

Like most of us do

I don’t have the power

To praise that virtue...

Virtue which gives a class and a touch

Of silky velvet, and something so much

Lovely, lovable and adorable such

It is so soothing, and impossible to judge

Her inner beauty, where I fall

Like most of us would

I don’t have the power

To praise what’s understood...

To be a gem, something so rich

Money cannot afford, and looking at which

Eyes cannot miss, they are so bewitched

Cannot even move, so startled and so fixed...

Entranced, enchanted

Like most of us today

I only have words,

No guts to go and say...

Those three words, which take you above the sky

Those three words, but I am perhaps shy

Or confused, as I just don’t know her reply

Whatever it might be, someone tell me why

I love her so much

AN ODE TO A PASSING ROMANCE

AN ODE TO A PASSING ROMANCE

Shashank, 19^th September, 2007

Woke up in the morning

Looked everywhere

Didn’t find that serenity

And seemed, people don’t care

I was left blank, just open to stare

I was perhaps lost, and again looked everywhere...

The hand behind me was forever gone

She was there, like just yesterday

But today was forlorn

I missed her sight, her beautiful presence

The way she talked, her pretty essence

The love we harboured, words we did share

Somehow all this happened, and either didn’t care

The anger was gone in a couple of moments

But it took with itself my side of romance

For which I am nostalgic, for which I cry

I feel like dying, I have nothing to try

Whose fault it was, I just don’t care

Just want her back, but I am left so bare...

I am so blank, just open to stare

I am perhaps lost, looking everywhere...
