MORNING STAR

YEARS OF DARKNESS FADING AWAY
GOT JUST ONE MORE NIGHT TO STAY
NOW I'LL SEE LIGHT OF LIFE AGAIN AND AGAIN
ABANDONING THIS DARK DEN

WAITING FOR THE MORNING STAR.....
TO COME AND HEAL MY EYES
TO COME AND SHINE AND MAKE THINGS BRIGHT.....
RELEASE ME FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

THE DOOMED DARKNESS CRIES ALOUD
AS I SEE THE RAY OF HOPE
AND BUTTERFLIES AND RAINBOW DYES
ARE GONNA COME ON MY WAY ALONG

WAITING FOR THE MORNING STAR.....
TO COME AND HEAL MY EYES
TO COME AND SHINE AND MAKE THINGS BRIGHT.....
RELEASE ME FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

THE FEEL AND TOUCH WILL HAVE A SIGHT
FROM NOW ON FOREVER
I'LL SEE THE SKY AND WATER BLUE
AND SEE THINGS HOWEVER
THE GREEN LAND LUSH I FELT FOR LONG
WILL NOW GLAZE MY EYES
AND EVEN THE DARK AND ENDLESS NIGHT
WILL BE STAR LITE AND O MOON SO BRIGHT

COME RELEASE ME,
FROM BONDAGE OF THIS NIGHT....
COME RELEASE ME,
FROM SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT....MORNING STAR.....

BY THE SEA.....MEMORIES....





I SET OUT AGAIN, ON THIS WINTER NIGHT,
TO DETACH MYSELF FROM THIS OSTENTATIOUS RING-
NOT TO EMBRACE SORROW AND MELANCHOLY
BUT TO WALK BY THE SEA.

BY THE SEA I FIND MY FOCUS
HERE IS THE SPACE TO BE MYSELF
COMMUNE WITH SURF AND SAND AND SKY
REGARDLESS OF QUESTIONS OF WHEN N WHY.

UNDER THE PLAYING CANOPY OF-
THE MELLIFLUOUS MOON AND PALM LEAVES,
I PONDER ON SPECIAL MEMORIES OF MINE
TO FEEL THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF LIFE.

THE TOUCH OF SAND SEEMS ETHEREAL TO ME.
CRACKING OF WAVES THE SWEETEST MELODY.
CARESSING WINDS REMIND WITH THEIR HOWLS.
THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN SOLITUDE REFRESHES THE SOUL.

I WALK BACK TO WORLD OF ENDLESS DREAMS.
TO WAKE TO MY GOALS OF REALITY.
BUT HERE I STAND TREASURING IT ALL
INTO A GOLDEN RING OF MEMORY.

A SOUL TRAPPED IN AMBER

-INSPIRED BY THIS PIC CLICKED BY ARUNDHATI CHATTERJEE....:)


n yes this is not melancholic....:P




LAUGH, AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
PITY YOUR HEART OUT FOR ME.
BUT PITY IS FOR YOU, NOT ME
EVEN THOUGH, I AM A SOUL TRAPPED IN AMBER.

YOU THINK MY LIFE IS BOUND IN THIS TINY BALL?
THEN YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WORTH NOTHING AT ALL.
CAUSE I TWIST AND TURN, WITH EYES WIDE OPEN
TO SEE A WORLD BEYOND THIS GREEN SPECTRUM.

I LIVE WITH WISH AND WITH HOPE
AND WITH THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY I'LL SURELY ELOPE.
YOU SEE YOUR WORLD FULL OF MISERY
BUT NATURE'S BEAUTY AND GLEAM IS ALL I SEE.

MIRTH AND HAPPINESS SEEM COALESCING IN ME-
YOU HATH NO EFFECT ON ME, FORLORN STYMIE!
PROCRASTINATE ME FOR HOW LONG YOU WANT
BUT I AM DESTINED FOR WORLD, OUTSIDE OF THIS BOND.

I'LL GLIDE IN SKY, AS A CARELESS BIRD.
FLOAT THE SEA, AND DO THINGS ABSURD.
WALLOW IN SNOW, FOR NIGHT AND DAY.
GALLOP LIKE A HORSE, AND DO THE WIND AWAY.

LAUGH AT MY QUEER WISH, O WHY?
IF RAPUNZEL WAS LUCKY, SO CAN I.
SO PLAY WITH ME FOR THE REMAINING TIME-
SOON I'LL BE FREE, LEAVING THIS PULVERIZED CHIME.

MY LONELINESS...

IN A DARKENED ROOM
I TURNED AROUND
AND FOUND YOU STANDING BEHIND ME.
UNDESIRABLE, YET OMNIPRESENT
IT WAS YOU, MY LONELINESS.

YOU FIND YOUR WAY
THROUGH WEBS AND CHAINS
OF IMMENSELY CROWDED PATHS
TO REMIND ME , I AM NOT ALONE
YOU ARE THERE WITH ME, ALWAYS
MY LONELINESS!

ALONE YOU ROB ME OFF THE GLEEFUL RAY
AND SET ME UNDER A GLOOMY DOME.
STILL YOU BE A STERN COMPANION
AND LET ME NOT BE ALONE
O YOU, MY LONELINESS!

TILL THE TETHER END OF LIFE
I HAD NO ONE BUT YOU.
FATES CARVED MY STEPS SO HIGH
NO ONE DID REACH ME BUT YOU.
EVEN NOW WHEN I LAY UNDER THE GREEN WORLD,
I AM STILL ACCOMPANIED BY YOU-
YES YOU, MY DEAR LONELINESS!
