THE DARK NIGHT

It was a dark night when tragedy struck,
It was dark when my destiny ran out of luck.
It was so dark when my phone rang,
It had spread the darkness forever with that bang.

In the loneliness of the night I wept,
Trying hard to pretend that I had slept.
The desire to be happy had been swept,
But there were many promises to be kept.

In that moment of destiny’s ire,
I knew I had lost my desire.
In me, it had killed all the fire,
I realized my freedom was only as wide as a wire.

Why was I being punished for someone else’s mistake?
Was it somewhere my fault, or only my fate?
Now any moment of happiness would come very late,
But I shall only wait a very long wait!

The wounds deep within me, have not healed with time,
I still hold many a feelings sublime.
Those days of yore, my moments I sometimes try to mime,
Thinking, would these wounds ever heal with time?

The War Song

My eyes still gazing wide, Feelings turbulent like a tide, I want to keep my emotions aside, I long for just one rougher ride. My heart is upbeat again for a thrill, I am challenging my own will, My subdued emotions are again sounding so shrill, Once more, I am ready for a rigorous drill. The fight had been left unfinished, The marks have not yet diminished. This time, they have a tougher metal to face, This Rock is now ready for any challenge in the race. Bring it on; I am ready for the war, Every emotion gone now, but the scar! This time it will not be a coward’s call, It’s going to be my kick, and the Empire will fall. When the going gets tough, I get ready, I get going, When the situations become rough, It’s only the war song that I sing.

My Class - X 'A'

The spirituous X-A, It never says ‘nay’. It is always on its way, Filled with as much energy as each sun ray. It masters and excels and every way, That’s what they all say. It always wants to play, Be it any game that exists today. It plays football and cricket in the midday, That’s why it gets trophies in an array. ABCD….”EEEE” is the cheering word we always say, Our friends support us with such encouraging “thought of the day”. Even in troubles, firmly we stay, And face it bravely, saying OKAY. For each other we have taken pain, The strength of our brotherhood will never go in vain. Now, about responsibilities we must say, Let all of us take an oath and together we pray. We, the students of X-A, will never ever fray, We will find out the pearls, from every sea and bay. And the sweet fragrance of unity we will spray, So that the world forgets the way to betray.

My Singing Lark

That night, after long, with peace I slept, With a happy heart and tears of joy, I wept. For so long, far away had my smiles been kept, The moment she entered my life, sorrows had left. With her a moment of joy, a moment of sorrow, All this, forever, I wish to borrow. One glimpse of her had me beauty redefine, One day, I wish to make her mine. None had charmed so well my health, She would be all my wealth, Once more, in me, I feel to have some desire, Once more, someone, in me, has lit the fire. I am not sure about the future, A lot of feelings I wish to nurture. I feel so clear and bright even in this dark, How thankful I am to my singing lark.
