Insanity

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
I always carry an umbrella, let it or let it not rain

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
Coz I always complain

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
Coz I know how to hide my pain

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
I know kids always need the cane

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
Through life’s miseries, happiness I feign

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
I don’t bother to argue but still wanna fit in the ostentatious frame

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
The numb monster inside, I have learnt how to tame

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
I don’t raise my voice, I’m sure everybody else is to blame

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
I’ll lick anybody’s boots to gain fame however plain

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
Cornered in the crowd, I don’t feel the shame

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
Tumultuous desire of love, I’m just a watcher never a player of the game

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
As I wear no soul, dressed naked in bane

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
Coz I enjoy it alone on the windy parapet, as thoughts, emotions slowly drain

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
In the midst of friends too, I look out for a gain

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
As heinous imaginations travel the lengths of the brain train

Yeah I’m safe, I’m sane
Can’t shed a tear on the grave, I smile, is that lame?

Mama, I’ve killed my conscience,
I’ve killed it yet again, left everybody behind on the long lost lane
Coz I wanna be safe, yeah I wanna be sane….

Stranger

Strange things happen, strange things do...
beyond the dark angry rains, the sky's actually blue....

met a stranger in a strange city
in this city, didn't know, i would sign a treaty...

she did, i did, we spoke as the clock ticked...
don't know when or how or why we clicked....
destiny yet again played its game....
as our apprehensions were brought to shame...

we'll dream, we'll share, we'll love, we'll fight,
through life's turbulent waves, we need to hold our hands tight,
trust persisting, beyond the hype,
lets make animated happiness of our everyday life....

dissapearing rains on a disappearing novemeber,
will certainly be a date we'r gonna remember....

strange things happen...strange things do..
now of all people, its me and you...
and the story begins thus...
with you and me being US!!

Missing You

A small, silly poem written for a friend to be presented to his girlfriend during my post graduation days. Was never used, so putting it here since there's not much to put here anyway as my hard disk has crashed and all my stuff has been lost.....forever.....

Out there on the mountain top,
Standing alone, thoughts circling,
The clouds strayed by, the wind blew hard...
The sky grew a distant fading.....

The Sun just made a disappearing act,
Leaving me alone pondering in the darkness,
My mind just couldn't erase a thought,
Cudn't make out what it was all about......

Then the moon lit up,
Illuminating the sky....
Clear thoughts began to surface by.....

The moon was you, so close to me...
It was you I was missing in every heartbeat

Naked

Show me all your joys,
Show me all your pains,
Tell me all that you’ve lost
And tell me all that you can gain

What are you tryin to hide,
Let me see, oh it’s that cruel mind,
Who are you tryin to be,
Father, son, saint or creep,

It’s time you walked on that old and forgotten lane,
It’s time you be naked again. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
You look so clean naked,
Naked is what you should be. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ragged and withered are your clothes of desire,
Take all the angst and jealousy
And set em on fire,
Your hair stinks of your proud glory,
Just notice the million times in your life that you’ve felt sorry,
Your eyes are sunk in the dark pits of greed,
Will you ever be satisfied with all your wants and needs. . . . . . .

Take all the lust and throw it down the drain,
Don’t you think it’s time you be naked again,It really is time you be naked again. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
