The Dark Side of the Moon

The dark side of the moon,

so forlone and cold.

Not a ray of light on its surface,

not a hope of warmth in sight.

So is the heart I carry,

a sinners sin, a moments weakness.

The touch of pride,

the lust that does not die.

Like the dark side of the moon

I carry the shadow of my past.

Honor and justice are prime,

but I'll have to pay for my crime.

I have betrayed hope, and drowned love.

There is no way out, that I know of.

I wait around the dark side of the moon,

till there is no air in my lungs.

This side is mine and mine alone.

No one knows for how long now, I've kept this secret alive.

But in the dark side of the moon, no one really knows,

about the miseries the human body holds.

Airless, breathless I stand in the darkness.

Unreal and numb to the world.

My heart is heavy from the whispers of the past.

How long now, will I with hold?

I smile at people as the walk by me,

but they dont know that my life is a lie.

They cant see the darkness I am standing in,

nor can the sense my fear.

Try as much as I can,

I cannot move into the light.

There is no saving me now, from my doom,

nor from the dark side of the moon.

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

SILENT TEAR

Every time a tear drop falls, I tell myself never again will it happen. I hug myself and promise the universe, no matter what I will not hurt again. But love makes it so hard for me to hold back all the memories & emotions that flow from my eyes. I keep quiet, listening to my heartbeat slowly. I feel the pain in my chest, but a smile covers my face! How ironic life can get? But we still believe in it. One door closes, a window opens, they say. But in a room with no windows, do we breath, do we stay alive or do we die? I don't deserve this love-less state of mind! Patiently, I waited all these years, believing you would come to me, in a dream, like a dream, like a ray of sunshine through the dark night! I smile at the sight of you, a tune struck a cord in my heart, and I begin to dance! Dancing my pain away? No, a welcome dance. A dance to fresh pain, for a new tear drop on my cold cheek. I stand still now, I suddenly realize that my heart is under an attack. Open, my heart is ...

MY BEST FIGHT!

I look at you from across the room A smile covers your eyes of gloom. I wonder who would hurt your heart Who would ever leave your love and part? I know that I am no one to judge your past But my heart is falling for you, so fast. I try to help myself and look away, So that someone else may find me and make my heart sway. But you look at me, with a smile caressing your lips And I feel drawn to you, and my heart slowly gives. I let the feeling flow into my veins, And hope that it will not leave me insane. Oh why do we need to follow rules? If all it does is leave us blue. A friend takes my hand and asks me to dance, Should I be happy or sad or elated at this chance? I try to smile back at you and leave, Though my feet walk away, my chest heaves. I search your eyes for an answer, But your eyes give nothing away. My heart cries out to you, You then look away, the thing you always do. Can’t we just unleash the feelings we have? Or are we scared that we may drift apart? I will wait, till yo...
