Footprint On My Face

Looking into the darkness
with cool air blowing through my hair
I look out the window and ponder
Is 'all this' just and fair

laying my options in front of me
I feel confused and dazed
do I feel insecure or
its just this weird phase

Its like an invisible kick in my face
doesn't really hurt but
There is a footprint in my face!!

Prick...

Hurting so bad, that I have tears in my eyes
I dunno why I agreed to come here, and someone lied

"It'll feel as if an ant is bitting you" said the doc
and I thought am I being mocked!!

I remember my tooth hitting the seesaw
it broke in half, following a loud heehaw!!

So you see it wasn't my choice to visit the doc
I was tricked into it, by the forces of...
not nature but my over-weighted friends

The anesthesia oozes out of the syringe
feeling numb...talking gibberish

Journey Called 'Life'

Anxiety of events to come
complexity of current ones
surprising stance at some
this is the stage where all is said and done

Confusion in the mind
nerve-racking material
sense of achievement for one
threatening for the other

Looking for something
searching for happiness
smiling at your loved ones
displaying anger at your foes

Abusing in frustration
breaking someone's heart
making up with ice cream
eating popcorn at the movies

Joy of children and their acts
fear of safety for their own
running around aimlessly
loosing ones mind

Head-banging on rock!
drinking lots, feeling high
checking time, running late
headaches, backaches and heartaches

Partying at a club
laser lights, blinking eyes
dancing stars give you joy
beating up, getting beaten

Black eye, purple colour
feeling ouch!
sense of vengeance
calming down

Chillin' at a beach in designer shorts
holding the surfboard for a picture
jumping in water just for fun
sippin on cocktail!!

relaxing, on that beanbag
in front of the idiot box
triumph of win
un-supportive comments at loss

celebration for no reason
birthday, anniversary whatever!!
enjoying myself.....

Feeling Hollow

There is nothing inside
but words overflow
There is nothing inside
and life goes slow

There is nothing inside
to fill someone's cup
There is nothing inside
to grow and develop

There is nothing inside
which could make someone happy
There is nothing inside
everything seems crappy!!

There is nothing inside
to make you lend your tears
There is nothing inside
everythings just a blur or a smear

There is nothing inside
nothing but sorrow
There is nothing inside
You are just feeling hollow...

One Last Breath

From the willows of darkness
to the cold ice mountains
A voice speaks a word
a whisper of sorts, a message

A signature it may be
or may be something else
it speaks to you
as if your like everyone else

It makes you follow
makes your ears follow
you search hard, you look around
but the source can't be found

One word was spoken
one was heard
It was like God's last breath
which was left broken...

The Right Chords

Pluckin on the strings
thinking of a song
words keep flowing
I better get along

The drummer's in position
the bass is ready to rock
piano man's waiting for the cue
is this a cake walk?

The shows about to start
in my own garage
we are the audience
we are the stars!!

So if you wanna fight with the swords
you better play the right chords!
the shows dependent on you
this is serious business, not a zoo!!

The amps are already hooked up
voltage is what is being sucked in
are you ready to melt faces?
Then lets Rock!!!

Road Trip

(This could well be a song)

I was riding down the highway
when I saw you on the road
sittin there, waiting for someone

The smile you gave me
made me hit the brake pedal
The car went screech!
you came running to me

What you didn't do was look around
you didn't see the light coming
It was a truck speeding on the road
thank god its brakes were working

We got into the car, flabbergasted
took some liters of water to get us started
Speeds of more than hundred made her freak
she wrinkled my jacket instead of scream

And I'm riding on this highway with a mission
to be in a place I want to be in
and I'm Swerving the car in joy
The dust keeps coming in from the windows
I dunno where I'm goin.....

In The Shadows..

Hiding behind that tree I peep out
to see if the coast is clear
Looking around for answers
swept back with fear

The green moss on the bark
looks slippery to touch
Riding my thoughts all along
with me, without a crutch

Realizing the white light
is inside me and nowhere else
It cries out to break free
from shadows and darkness of wells

The spook has set in
fireflies flying around
I lay there still
right there on the ground
Pondering......

-kd

In Pursuit....

I walk into the glass door
only to find a bump on my head

Trying hard, searching for respite
searching for warmth, still searching..

Obstacles, path-breakers are many
life in the hot sun under the ozone

I whisper again and again
what I want to hear, from life

Breaking sweat, running hard
hurting my knee, falling down

I look around, I gaze at the million smiles
looking so happy, for themselves

For what they've done, for they've achieved
for what I've not done and I've perceived

Still in pursuit, will always be
In pursuit of happiness......

Epiphany

I ran from the top of the mountain
to the end of the sea
White light all around me
reminding me, I need to breathe

I close my eyes only,
to see the darkness
I don't know if I fear,
to do the right thing

Eyes roll around in a state of confusion
to decipher....life!!
Its all random, its all scattered
searching for meaning, realizing....

You stood there against the sun
looking down at me, at me
Searching for answers,
afraid to wake up!!

Wondering the cliff would vanish
and you would fall, down
to something unreal
may be surreal!

You wait, for the thought
you wait, until things are sought
you wait......

Looking For Waldo...

Theme parks, giant wheels
those moon glasses,
he fancies with great zeal

Walking around in red and white
with a stick, a cap and a bright smile

A joy in life he has, a zest for living
all he does is walk around,
and people look for him

A crowd of million, people all around
some with balloons,
and some on merry-go-rounds

Your eyes constantly search for him,
what is it that you search?
Is it the Waldo in you......

This Is Not The Life I Ordered

Crimson tears, trickle down my face
its like I'm far behind in this rat race

Front it what is visible, back is scarred
Don't know whats going on, brains are barred

Thunderstorms, lightning cracks
all in the head, nothings on track

Stings of thorns, oozing blood
pain on the face, closing bud

Looking up to the so called God
Searching for the heavenly light

This is not the life I ordered, I scream
Not your dish? eh?...

An Evening At The Shore...

In this small stupid world
you stand near the shore and cry

Wondering whats wrong,
wishing for the bad times to fly

The water flows over your feet
covering it with beach sand

Questions boggle your mind
like you are on no man's land

Handful of sand, making a fist
life flows out, between the fingers

Fear of strangeness, hovers
in your skin it lingers

The blue shade of light projected
the moon is white, wolves howl

You sit down with your head down
crying over the foul

A voice in your head gives you wisdom
tells you, "what you are doing is out of boredom"

Go home and take rest, things will be fine
don't worry about life, keep up the zest.....

Do I Dare Ask?

Why can't we be free,
from the shackles of god or man made rules

Why can't we think beyond,
the guidelines of 'experts' on life!!

Why can't we speak our minds,
to millions who are listening and
to those who are not

Why can't there be multiple interpretations,
of signs of wisdom, of philosophies of life and
of the scribbled notes on the post-it

Do I dare ask.....
I dare and ask.....

Making Ends Meet

I was standing at the coast of the sea
When a little boy came up to me

Asked me to look at the two islands ahead
They are so far away, he said

Will the ends ever meet he asked
I shrugged my shoulders, he gasped

He walked away with sadness on his face
I pondered over what he had said, in his place

Wondering whether ends will ever meet
or we'll be stuck with lots of mud and sleet

Wondering whether things will move on
or just stay they way they've been going on....

The little boy jumps with joy
tears blow away, he shouts
I believe......

Serenity

Blades of grass, pure green
dew on the surface, in its teens!!

Bark of a tree, moss on the foot
rustling leaves, with my boot

Flower petals scattered on the path
archway of trees is what I've got

Winds are pleasant, weathers changing
you spin around, no-ones gazing

Hop and skip, and a jump
feeling of joy, without a bump

Cool canals, lovely water
pebbles under, green frogs a hopper

Splash of water, feels cool
come, take a dip in the serenity pool!!

Contradictions

Pieces of life on the grave,
lay still
no winds, no sound, plain silence
lay still

Am I dying for you, I
lay still
I sit here and weep, tears
lay still

Stuck in this moment of spook, eyes
lay still
Dark side puts a shadow, I
lay still

Fear gives me the shivers, I
lay still
Why the grimness, why I
lay still?

Wheres your cuppa?

Pouring down, a cup of tea
from the metal kettle
steam rises up
in a chair you settle

A tray brings the cup to you
you pick it up, burn your fingers
as the cup is hot
the pain still lingers

The idea is to make you feel refreshed
sucking out all the stress
to restart your brains
taking them away from the usual mess

The cup is over, I feel cool
I crave for more
Wheres your cuppa?

-kd

Did I steal from your skies?

The shiny stars, light years away
is yours to keep
Millions of asteroids crackling up
will never weep

Soft and comfy, are the clouds
they stick to you
Hazy mist, up there
looks grey rather than blue

Dusty particles, looking brown
float in the air
Smoke rises up, in a cool way
after a sudden flare

Gravity hits, pushes stuff down
rainy water slippery lanes
watch your step
or you might cry in pain....

Frequency

How many times,
have you picked up your cellphone
and wanted to call someone,
but restrained for some strange reason

How many times,
have you gone across brilliant book titles
picked up one,
but didn't read after a few pages

How many times,
have you bought something to eat,
thats your favourite, but
is lying in the fridge for ages

How many times,
have you picked up your diary and a pen
and decided, from today you'll start writing
but never did...

How many times,
have you wondered, how certain things
make sense to others while
you don't understand a shit...

How many times...
will you try to answer questions
which have been never answered...
