YOU, with Me

Heavenly it seems all around, when you’re with me
There’s happiness ‘n’ joy in all that I see
To be alongside You, I’d even plead on my knee
You let me be myself, a chained bird… set free

When You’re with me, joy seems to have no limit
Sadness gets fainter, as you come alongside and sit
All pieces in my life’s puzzle seems to fit
Darkness, seems to fade with the light you lit

When You’re with me, it seems there’s nothing to want
Those thoughts varnish that once used to haunt
You give me the chance to start afresh a life, something new
It seems, you’re the one to drive away the blue

The charm ‘n’ happiness spread on your face
Just opens up all the knots in my mind’s lace
You give me the feeling of having a place in this space
Pray that forever you shall remain, spreading that grace

Within You

It’s within You… both the best and the worst
It’s your decision to let your talents have an outburst
It doesn’t matter, whose gonna be last or the first
Its what You chip in… that’s gonna quench the thirst

For the genius that’s within You… You alone are the host
Don’t let any failure haunt you like a ghost
It’s for what you are that people like you the most
It’s an honour… to raise to yourself, the finest toast

Good, better or the best… there ain’t no comparison
You got to have yourself, as the limit of all expectation
Think, you and yourself are the only ones in competitions
Otherwise, the heart ‘n’ mind could play tricks with fluctuations

If you sulk for past deeds… it only weakens you and your cast
Suppressing yourself, dwindling your conscience… pretty fast
Once the moment is gone, it becomes a part of the past
Remember only those, which prove to strengthen your mast

Don’t let others’ deeds bring you into a state of being forlorn
It only declines your being… helping you to remain torn
Remember the Genius within… to whom, Life you’ve sworn
YOU are the Best and that’s why you were born

The Change

The Change… an inexorable outcome to some cryptic reason
There’s no way to find a basis… it could be treason
This could come up anytime, anywhere… any season
It could evolve in anybody… in any possible relation

For the better or the worse… you might give in to a change
The decision is yours to choose the change, of any range
To me… it could seem in someway, there’s something strange
It’s good, as long as it brings a smile on your cute flange

Changes come about quite often, in search for better vicinity
It’s expected for them to change, irked by somebody’s personality
People tend to join the better… leaving those with no dignity
They give in, to a makeover… to get away from existing insanity

Sometimes, changes in others could be letting you down
First see… if the transformation is in you, that is bringing the frown
Try to understand the way… how the transformation has grown
You got to realize… who had these seeds of change, initially sown.

To be with You

Where have you gone… O Sweet Child o’ mine
Wanted you, to be with me… all the time
Times spent with you, seemed to be very fine
But, how much I miss you… is hard to define

In your eyes… I saw the peace of a sleeping child
So calm, happy, innocent and forever mild
To be with you… is what I’ve always tried
For this reason, many a times have I cried

Want to talk to you… Want to hold you…
Want to dance with you… Want to embrace you…
Want to do all things… only alongside you
But for all this… I wanted to ever be with you

In your absence… I miss all the sweetness
Yearn for the peace… I found in your calmness
Each moment… I miss every bit of your liveliness
Just want to be with you forever… my eternal happiness
