Lights, Camera, Reaction?
The Chase
I found you
I followed you
You took the next turn
So did I
You stopped
And I hid myself
You were walking fast
And I was catching my breath
You lit a cigarette
And I was staring
I came closer
I stood and watched
Our eyes met
I said something
Did you get it
Or so was I thinking
I stood there
Till you were engulfed in smoke
I took a break
And you were gone
I looked around, I ran around
But to no end
Its been years now
And I still can’t forget you
Old times
Like walking on the campus roads And running to the school bus Like laughing in the cafeteria And endless cups of Chai
Like shouting again To take control of the TV remote Like sneaking into the kitchen Late night to get ice cream
Like waking late And sleeping on the back bench Like breaking the queue And creating a choas
Like flying the kite And running after the ball Like hitting your cousin And cheating in the exam
Like never again Or ever again But it does make me smile To think of old times
Happiness
In the glass On the floor In your arms On the roll
I felt it I touched it It was a great feeling Like never before
Is this happiness Is this joy What else can it be In your smile
I found myself
In the sound of rock In the sound of roll Who was I kidding I love these sounds
I tried to be someone else I tried to like something else But it all came back in one shot What a feeling that was
Till when can you keep experimenting When do you know its late in life You like you what you like And you don’t what you don’t
These sounds brought back memories From old and young From good and bad And I found myself once again
Is there a way out
What am I doing Where am I going I have no control it seems On my life, on my actions
What’s the way out Is there any Will things ever be the same again Just this one more time
What do I do now Should I call someone Should I tell everyone What’s the right moment
I am confused, I am angry I am sad and distressed I want to go back in time And never return forever
Will you be mine
When I first saw you My heart roared When I saw you again It shouted
I touched you and the craving grew I held you and that was beautiful You went away and so did I What choice did I have
Now I wait And I wait more I wait for tomorrow I wait for the day after
Morning flows into dusk And the night is lonely Day dreaming is more fun though In the bus, on the roof
Will you be back Will I be the same again Will the craving be alive Will you be mine
My friend in the north
You visited me today Oh, what a feeling that was Your whites and greys Your browns and greens
I hadn’t thought about you for a while Trust me, your surprised me Walking through your alleys and gazing at the stars How mesmerizing that was
I need to see you again In all your glory Far, far away You stand tall and mighty
The apple and the apricots Were all your love And the spring water Under the double rainbow
How are you so calm What runs through your blood What keeps you alive The refreshing sun, the freezing water, the snow
This smoke has engulfed me And I want to let go I will visit you soon My friend in the north
Let me break free
The heart says something The mind says something else I listen to the heart And I always will
That makes me weak And so be it Or should I change But I loathe the mind
It stops me, it holds me It pushes me back Heart comes to the rescue But it still won’t let go
The mind, you mind, hey mind Let me go I was never yours Will never be
Let me out, release me I want to fly I want to dance Let me break free
