Just a bigger box

A new beginning

A new time

New people

A new start

And yet again

A brush of the ‘has been’

Tints the present

And yet again

It seems

Back again to those times

Times I ran away from

A new beginning?

Never

Just an extension of time

So pure, so beautiful,

Every syllable takes you back

To a childhood far bygone

A memory, a treasure

A moment, a song

For where would you find that innocence,

That choice to belong

And as the sun does set,

Each and every day

A past is born, to hold for long

When the present hurts in an unexpected way...

You can go back

Just close your eyes

And play that music again

That with which you wove your dreams

And a future so bright, so strong

Go back to that time to remind yourself

Of the journey and not the race

And if a tear does fall,

Cherish it,

For you've been a child once again...

To an unknown friend..

I don’t know you

Not even a hi

And yet the soul feels empty

And a wish to sigh

You existed

You were so young

So lost so alone

Moments unstrung

Something wasn’t right

Something hurt so hard

Was that why the decision

This drifting apart

Was it so tough?

Your life, your love?

Was there no one?

Were there too many?

What’s the point now?

Can’t question

Life moves on

You could’ve given time a chance

But you chose

And left a void

To those who never knew you

To those who knew you so well

And I hear a cry

Somewhere across these walls

Wails

Unmoving

For what could touch

Emptiness...

6 degrees of separation...

those words that weave through time...

those friends that stay beyond...

those moments remembered till eternity...

those memories forming the eternal bond...

the 6 of us....begin a journey...its been not too long...and yet these are a few memories...strengthening us...binding us forever...through this song...

Its the random thoughts and the unspoken bond

The broken strings and yet the attached cello-tapes

The running between rooms or the fleeting glimpses

Its the six degrees of separating separations...

(Polo)

It’s the drinking and the puking

It’s cheering for every grade

It’s a celebration, it’s a memory

It’s more than just a passing phase...

(AaJoe)

Its the fights and differences

its about being smitten by each others enthusiasm

its the varying wavelengths of attitude

but mainly about balancing the rhythm of friendship

(AnuG)

It’s the kisses and the misses

It’s the group studies and the gossips

It’s the eating and then walking

It’s the separation which always ends in meeting again

(Teddy)

its the tea in the mess and 'n' number of glasses,

the rumage for the seats for lunch and for classes,

Its the fights, the laughs, the claps and Shanghai

Its the 6 degrees entwined in the "Us" and the "I".

(Mango)

its the bread&mayo n hot water bags

the 500bucks per head n personalised surprises

its the american pies n dominoes fever

the separating every second n uniting forever...

(Debo)

LOYALTY? LOVE!!

You come to me with questions in your eyes
And a hope that all is alright
You come for a promise, a promise of tomorrow
A puzzle no need to answer
I panic
Am so sorry
Forgive me
For not doing you right
For not knowing like you always do
And yes you tried
I know
Gently pushing me the right way
And yet I was blind
Angry, I was hurt
Maybe it was the shattered trust, those splinters
Pinched, right across my heart
I knew then, maybe
But I knew it’s too late
And yet I try
I try to cover that pitiful distance
To break those threads
Oh that sweet precious water
Why!!
Alas,
Forgive me
I should’ve known...

The past..

There is so much I want to hang on to
And yet I know those moments have passed
So why do I try and turn back time
When I truly want the present to last

I look back now and I feel alone
For joy, it did but just start
I held it too early, held it too close
For it left too soon, so far apart

And now I live amidst pleasure
A world so filled with love
So why pines my heart
And sighs, and grieves
For those moments that just might have been

Sometimes...

Sometimes someone means so much to you
Sometimes it shouldn’t be like that
Sometimes someone shouldn’t be cared for so much
Sometimes you’d rather forget

Sometimes someone hurts you so bad
Sometimes the hate hurts so much
Sometimes hate never quite goes away
Sometimes care seems too stubborn and stays

Sometimes moments don’t quite leave your head
The good memories and the bad
For how I hate after all these years
Sometimes it’s because, somewhere I still care…

A walk alone...

And here I am
Walking down the street
Alone...

A chill rushing through my skin
A moment passing by
Fleeting...

And yet
I know...

For no lonely soul
Would ever look for me among their midst

And fear would not know how...

For as I walk this road alone
A mind walks with me
Beside me
With each step I take
Until the end...

Just friends....

Tis best to be a friend of all
And then to be a friend of none
Thus no one does hurt
No, not even yourself

For people come and people go
And one makes friends
And one makes Friends
But let them be as they are
Don't complicate, don't reciprocate.

For there would be despair
And much disappointment
So why venture there
Where the end is all but happiness...

The mistake I made...

I am the fool I always knew I was
I had seen it coming
For I took their advice
Day and night
And yet knew it wasn’t right

For I trusted my friends
And the world
And my family and my love
I hung on to their thoughts
And I believed in their words

Don’t get me wrong
They do love me
And I know they did their best
But what I did not know
Or refused to believe
Was the simple fact of being me

For in the past
And in the present
And in the future that holds tempting delights
We have all made and will make
But one small err
Of not trusting ourselves enough to make a mistake…
