One day of peace

Wiping the dust, wiping the tears,
Letting go off all apprehensions and all fear,
With music in background and a glass of wine,
I realised what I missed and what wasn't mine,
Why did you go away?...I ask thee,
My soul, my love, my conscience, just me!
I am writing to you, seeking love and care,
Lost in time, it seemed far, not fair! 
Eyes speak of the story and the heart beats a lot,
You should've been around wherever I got caught,
Don't befriend me, cause you are all I got,
Sore nights & sick days is not what I bought,
So I wipe the dust and wipe off the tears...
Wish could buy happiness even if it was dear,
Life's a puzzle and I am running in circles,
Only if I could sing 'Welcome to the jungle!'
The countdown has begun, never to last,
But what's the point, I am still living in the past,

And I keep on searching, I keep on waiting, I keep on thinking, I keep on hunting..For that one day of peace! 

What a wonderful world!

I looked back when I couldn't relate ahead,
And all I said was, 'what a wonderful world...'

No baggage but luggage was all I carried,
Entering in a dark yet bright time never made me worried,
I had a vision and was sure not to sway,
Alone to fight, from my people, I was away,
I was oblivious, all I did was chirp like a bird,
Just to turn back today & say 'what a wonderful world....'

Trivial things gave happiness in life,
With head on shoulders, I was ready to survive,
Enchanted stories and wishing chair was all I knew about,
And I believed in fairy tales without a doubt,
Bubble broke..rosy glasses cracked..life isn't anymore coloured,
So I turn back today to say,'what a wonderful world....'

Life became just like a flickering bulb,
& left a lost sense of what to enjoy and what to curb,
Darkness I found just to walk all alone,
They say you reap just what you've sown,
Blanketed by a starry night, a silence so unheard,
And I turned back to say, 'what a wonderful world....'

Flooded with tears, yet a divine smile hid it all,
Head's high, chin's up, sorrows seem so small,
But they cover the heart & there's no one to feel,
The world around sometimes seem so surreal,
Numbness creeped in, encore said people, how curt!
So I turn back today to say,'what a wonderful world....'

Today when I try to find self, I feel so lost,
Gained a lot, pained a lot, guess I made the most,
But  still try to introspect and hunt..Hunt... 
Drew boundaries lest people left me all burnt,
So I wore a mask of happiness yet sight was so blurred,
Today I Have to look back to say, 'what a wonderful world....'
