My Messiah, A Collection Of Verse
My Messiah My Messiah has moved on, And my story's unread, Like love beads on gossamer thread, For the storm came too early, And extinguished a proud flame, A son, a husband, a father, A poet, a dreamer, a thinker, Scribbling he cared no less, Reflections of a distinct vision of the world, And when someone called for help, A touch that healed, And countless eyes could see the distant horizon. Burnt skin, tortured legs, Frame that sapped in his service, Wonder how his love turned to their hatred, People he cared for, A realization long after the breath escaped, That he was all but human, My Messiah, my friend, Live on and we shall be together again someday. Time Door... Bangalore Time Doors My time door's a foot away Time won't you show me The world I can't wait to open that door To get on that train. Time won't you go a little slow. For I can't wait to open that door The Time Door Lord I've waited so long. And I can't wait to open that door and sail to a distant shore To the city of lights To Bangalore Time doors It's been so long I've been hanging on this song For so long And my times up and I can't wait So time door So so slow Soft and slow Coz I need to go To my city of lights Bangalore. Lost As Ever Lost as ever Eversince I learnt to walk I've been lost Deprived of light Light that lights up darkness Lights up thoughts Beauty you behold I know People they say How I came is a mystery to me I too feel it now As I felt back then Trying to see where I fit I felt so sure I kept knocking on doors Written on the mirror No need to look anymore I need to figure out Figure out soon Look in the mirror Before I go down Escape this world Coz this world's no good World's no good Yes.

COz you're my inspiration, For a child with imagination, On with a bag full of pens and papers, On to meet some obligation, You're the reason for this love, Tucked deep down in my heart. Coz this daily trouble, This rush and sudden stumble, These people and lonely places, Mad cars chasing those dreams, These pills and washes and dishes, These skyscrapers and beautiful places, These strangers for life, Wear me down, And make me write this song. For I need you, And lying down in this sweet smelling grass, Swaying flowers and trees and skies, Where do you come from , And where do you go, I need to know, Touch as soft, A song from heaven above, Felt? Touched? Heard? Coz I gotta go, It's that time of the day, When my senses turn numb, As I run and stumble, And mumble, Words I shouldn't say, For things I shouldn't do, For eyes that shouldn't see, WHen I shouldn't be me. Where's life without You, California Breezes, Sail Along, Let me write you a song, You're the one that I love, On a hot summer's day, When there's nobody around, A step closer to my dream, If you know what I mean.

So you see those, Brown old shoes, Fifteen years, And a shine like new, Says it hurts, And he don�t know why, With a heart so true.

FREEDOM So Cath's got a car, On her eighteenth Birthday, Said papa you're the best, Wont go too far, Thanyou for showing me this day. Hung out with friends, At the local bar, Said Cheers! On some beers, And laughter and fun, Said papa consider if you might, I'm gonna stay out the night Said papa you're the best, So please stay out of sight, Coz I am free, Papa dont you see, I never felt this way before. Night full of laughter and fun, And so it was morning, And a bright new sun, Had a hangover, Said it was over, To little too soon, When Cathy was over the moon, Friends dispersed, Seems they have lot of work, No fun,no laughter, The morning after, When she was free. ` O Cathy! O Cathy! Havent you heard, That lonely bird, Up in the sky, The falling rain, Wind in the plain, The ocean waves, Ants on fine soil hill, Listen up,if you will, Spiders knit a web, Lonely sailors on high seas, Cathy listen,please, SInging, This is my gift, My salvation, And I am free. So please stay out of sight America What is America? My dream, Far, On my old Carlton guitar, Where I�d got the beat, Truly a marvellous treat, Sweating, On my hum, Groping for some words. And a touch down, Without a sound, The weather�s perfect, And I could see it coming, Hopes knew no bounds, My sweat, My humming, Two steps closer, Six songs later, Dream I dreamt, Far, On my old Carlton guitar, Where I�d got the beat, Truly a marvellous treat. Right there on my sack, All�s good and done, And here�s some, People stop by for a snack, Gave my heart, But there�s that blow, Says you�re too slow, Sure! That�s a good start. Friends sit dazed, Shake their heads, And carry on instead, Expecting the unexpected. Amazed, Where�s that pride, On the other side, Few dream, And I feel lost. What is America? My dream, Two steps closer, Six songs later, On my old Carlton Guitar, And I�ve got the beat, Truly a marvelous treat. Clown of the Town He�s the clown of the town, As stupid as he gets, For hear the crowds into splits of laughter, And the morning after, Controversial, Misfit, And did he care, No more he swears. When one stormy night, With no one in sight, Divine enlightenment, If you care, Through heaven doors, Wide open, Walked miles, In exhilaration, Seemed a new realization, Flying with broken wings, If you, Had heard his heart sing, Higher and higher and higher, He�s a fligher, Sweat and hunger, All bony under, And in a dream, Flying high above those marching men, For he had loved , With a love so true, Once before, And once more, He was clown of the town, As stupid as he got, For hear the crowds into splits of laughter, And the morning after, Controversial, Misfit, And did I care, No more I swear. Silent Dreams I dreamt a dream, Silently on lonely streets, Me and the heaven above, I kept my mouth shut, Believed, With every beat, Walked a mile , With the tune. I kneel down to you, My friend, With all my heart, My soul, You move me to tears, It could never go wrong, And I need you here, We�ll go marching down, Where�s there�s no one to be seen, Mile after mile, Till the time come, And there�s nothing to hide, Till then, Believe, And ride the roller coaster. And if I let it out Lord! They don�t know, What it�s all about, And I kneel down to you, My friend, With all my heart, My soul, You move me to tears, It could never go wrong, And I need you here. Eyes felt heavy at night, So closed my eyes, And dreamt a dream, Silently on lonely streets, Me and the heaven above.
