That Cloud is Following Me!

I've been walking for a mile
it's been drizzling for a while

Seems like it's a rainy path I'm on,
no sign of droplets all around

Funny it seems, but it's real
I can't see, but tingling I can feel

I look back and up at the cloud
whose mischievous smile is so god damn loud

I get the point, It's gonna follow me
not here and there, right on my head it'll pour

"The cloud is following me!" I shout
I look look lunatic with a big mouth

People around break in hysterical laughs
thinking 'He's lost it', thinking 'he's lost'

I cast a spell on the cloud with a wizard's tone
it won't follow me now, coz it's in your zone

I Love to do the grind!

Its not that I've lost touch
Its not about the flower I pluck

Its a new path altogether, a new beginning
where the futures bright, stars are shining

I'm building my own yellow brick road
to fulfill my dreams I'll get onboard

-kd

Give a little time to wake up

Cold stone clinging to my skin
water dripping from the cracks within

A ray or two of light falls
illuminating these black walls

I fly freely over the treasure chest
lying on a grass dune, at rest

The shining gold, the sparkling sun
my eyes flicker, seeing none

I fall deep down the circular bricked wall
felt like I tripped, felt I was really tall

Realizing the cushion under my head
I lay at rest, I lay over my bed

Need To Be Free

It is always like this
figuring out what's good and
whats a miss

I see the horizon with a basket
filled with opportunities
and a blanket

Reaching, trying hard
with millions of questions in my mind
still trying hard

Filled with anger, filled with tension
thinking hard about tomorrow
thinking about my pension!

Tears in my mind,
crying out loud inside
knowing the world is mine

All I need is to be free
all I need is a little salt and pepper
to be free

Lost..

There is a place for my head
in the corner of the universe
Where things are different,
different from this verse

Walking away from kryptonite
as if i'm superman
not knowing what to do here
heck knows! what's the plan

Things are a blur at the moment
harder to focus on stuff
feeling frozen, feeling numb
hoping this is not god's bluff

With the mist
creeping up my spine
Dont know whats hell
and whats divine

State of confusion
losing myself
am I Lost?

Out Of Exile...

Its been long since I set foot in this sand
felt kinda cold, felt like no man's land

Emerging out of my strange exile
I don't really know if it was worthwhile

A race against time, a race against me
it was nothing but living with zeal

Feet are digging in fast
trying to grip, trying to last

Dungeons and forests, the mist and the caves
sleeping bats, hiding mice, all will live

Creepers and swamps, but no crocs
survived that, without a shock

A new day, a new dawn
the sun has risen upon

Who knows what will come through
who knows If I grew....

-kd

I wake up in the dark...

All the stillness, a pinch of slyness
the darkness creeps in.
I think about closing my eyes
before the moonlight seeps in

The curtains are drawn
the lights are off
I stare into nothingness
with my guard off

I don't blink, I don't cry
See images of my life flashin'
something seems to slip away
while I'm shouting and lashing

I feel the rush, I feel the pace
confusion sweeps my mind
is there anywhere
I can stay safe

I'm running from my shadow
somethings that's my own
I dunno where I'm going
Am I all alone?

Broken Thoughts

Sometimes I need to remember
to open my eyes and see
Sometimes I need to remember
I am free

Sometimes I feel
I missed out on things
Sometimes I feel
I never got the pings

Sometimes I think
I'm in the wrong place
Sometimes I think
I'm trying to make extra space

Sometimes I get lost
in my own world
Sometimes I get lost
in a few words

Sometimes I think too much.....

Lost In Translation

Lost in this world
Lost in the weirdness
Having few more miles to go
Lost in the woods

Lost in my share of happiness
Lost in my vision of success
Million smiles of others
Lost in the zest

Lost in the sunshine
Lost in the heat of matters
Fragrance of beauty
Lost in the rush of blood

Lost in conversations
Lost in a new place
Old-new pals around
Lost in my own world

Lost among fools
Lost among 'the brainy'
Mind wanders, mind ponders
Lost in translation....

I Want To....

I want to run
I want to fly
I want to work
I want to cry

I want to earn
I want to spend
I want to think
I want to lend

I want to drink
I want to walk
I want to scream
I want to talk

I want to sing
I want to dance
I want to win
With a better chance

I want to scold
I want to fight
I want to buy a pen
and have something to write

I want to start
I want to weep
I want to stop
I want to sleep
on the table top

I want to love
I want to be loved
I want to begin
I want to finish
May be...
Just may be this is not all......

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......
