The Whispering Waves

THE THIRD WHEEL  Two's company, Three's a crowd, Tagging along, lone and a frown, What once, was someone else, Is now replaced, Only by replicating you, No original taste, No tell, to tell about self, Just mimicry; so desperate, Until one fine day, poof! The third, the last, at last, Becomes the extra. Originality can't get you, When what you want, Someone else has. Gone, decayed, replaced, All attempts in vain, Sadness regained, and massive energy drain. Oh, innocent one! There, You sail away. Far away, until too out of reach, While the ship has left the beach. 

 IT NEVER COMES AGAIN The hardworking you put, The sorrow you feel, The second's warmth, The moment's zeal. The love you want, The happiness you crave, The trials of error, The face to save. Yesterday's rain, Yesterday's sunset, Yesterday's blossoms, Won't be as well kept, Yesterday's frowns, Yesterday's time, Yesterday's despair, Yesterday's crime. Tomorrow's hope, Tomorrow's dreams, Tomorrow's joy, Tomorrow's tears bream. What's once done, never comes again, Advances for unknown, go in vain, What will happen, is inevitable, Once lost, never can you regain. 

 FALSE PRETENCES Don't fat for my, False pretences, What might seem, Is not always so. The bark seems assembled, But the inside, is a whole mess. No one to just, When everything is low. A chameleon, if blamed, For having no true self. But behind its camouflage, Its too scared, to unveil itself. So, as hidden away, Behind dark covers, From the broken pieces, It could never recover. They pushed you down, They dropped you low, But your will, Made you show. Now the same, Shatters you, And what's prominent, Is what you can't do.

 A LEAP OF FAITH Are you too weak to trust, Or too fearful to believe? Is it hard to hear the bitter truth, The one, you want to leave. I want to put my guards up against you, I want to be selfish for once; On the path to pleasing people, You sacrificed joy, tons and tons. Let your sorrow, rise up and away; Face your problems with confidence. Return to your rightful throne, Know its importance, Put in all your stakes, Believe me, A leap of faith, Is all it takes.

 FIERY When your blood boils, And eyes go red, Yet, your hand stationary, Your movements, dead. When the moment matters, And there's nothing you do, Useless, when the situation needs, To protect everyone, but you. 

 DOWNTRODDEN People looked down upon, Whenever, will they find dawn? After what seems like an eon, Why was this fate ever drawn? So unfortunate. Is it too late, To yet again, be great; The best till date? The light at the end of the tunnel, The hardships, Though seem subtle.

 HEADLIGHTS AT A DEER Are you at a fork? With the ground beneath, Crumbling? Unsure what to do, Anxiety, as you breath. Startling, Cursing at life, Wishing it hadn't been harder. Crying, You can be the deer, And life flashes in front of your eyes, Or, you can be the driver.

 UNPREDICTABLE A small twist of events, Fate and its play, Can plough your entire life, To what will come and what may. Who knows what comes? What's written on your palm; We are mere pawns, Who can only be calm. We can't get any action, But can only let ourselves be played, Because when it comes to fate, Things turned out this way.

 ESCAPE FROM REALITY Sometimes, do you feel tired? Sometimes, do you feel far from sane? Does it make you lonely? Is sadness, your gain? Do you feel loved? Do you feel important? Do you feel like you somebody? Do you feel significant? What if the answer's no? What if you are lonely as a lion? With all the wealth and power, yet, Are you still crying? Do others see, and you have everything, But through your eyes, are you a pauper? Stuck in the paradox of life, Bliss is all that matters. Do you have a fantasy, To run, and keep running, Away from all heart and soul, Away, where life has no meaning. Yes, go far, far away, Set your breath free, Perhaps, rejuvenate, All you need is, An escape from reality.

 LONE SKY The sky so bejewelled with the stars, And clouds who never leave it behind, How could the sun illuminate it to blue, And the moon, eliminate it to pitch- dark, and new? It shows different faces to different people, A different story to tell, Beneath the sound body and mind, Lies a small person afar, With the mist of loneliness surround, And a different face to people all around.
