How far is the destination?
I wonder, what more would it take?
Humanity fearing its mankind.
There's silence at god's doorstep.
There are spells of restrain.
Have we all gone too far?
Are we all lost?

My man's a blind horse
In the race against time.
The systematic deceits.
Order obeying machines
Under the spell of the dark.

Dear world,
When the time comes,
Remember the mad man.
Who ran amidst the woods naked feet,
Danced in the shades of the mountain,
Felt free like the river waters
And had an empty mind.

You hit me like a wave and
sailed me right down the coast.

If it's all in my head, and this is all a dream.
I wonder, what makes a man lonely?
Is it the world that doesn't understand my war? Or we're all prisoners of our own.
All I'm trying to say is,
I don't fear the gunshots anymore.
It's the silence that comes after.

We could've ended it on a coffee.
Or maybe in the parking lot,
Smoking cigarettes on a freezing night.
Maybe, endings don't work that way.
Maybe, there's nothing good about
Good things coming to an end.
You could've waited for the last
Drop of whiskey to fall,
Or maybe I should have prayed for
The sun to not settle that evening.
The rain is here. So is my melancholy.
Fuck acceptance and all the
wordly understandings.
Maybe, there's a reason why
This coffee never tastes the same.
Maybe I never understood any of this.
Maybe, I was never ready.

It's quite fucked up
To be somewhere
And not belong.
Maybe that is why
I had to let you go.

I do not fear the end of the world,
Or a bullet going straight through
my heart in a war, someday.
That's not even close to my idea of dying.
Years later, there will be an evening yet again,
When this city will be covered in saffron.
When I'm half drunk at our favourite coffee joint,
Waiting for you to complete the table.
It chills my blood as I light this cigarette in fear.
If you'll run straight in to my arms or
I'll see an image slowly fading in the crowd

It's been twenty two years down the line.
The line constructed amidst the world of suffering.
By echoes of the fading light and blinded hope.
I'm a rebel lost in the cause.
A poet with paper and swords.
You see, none of this makes sense to me.
I am as lonely as you are.
And we've all got our missing piece.
All I'm saying is, do not put me in a fix
When your destiny is to leave.
But none of us are right or wrong.
And I could never offer you surety
When I know it will all end in a timeless blink.
The truth is, I'm as lonely as the world is.
If we ever make it to the table again,
And before the world tosses us into
The wrongful rights and rightful wrongs,
We will kiss, until our hearts mend.
And we will live till the whiskey ends.

Another day passes,
And I am still foreign in the city of life.
They say whiskey awakes your pain
before putting it to bed for a while.
When it all makes sense to me,
I shall write my closures.
Of all that I have been holding on.
It's a pleasant Sunday evening and I
am about to get high.
There's music in the air and I feel
less miserable.
Life's has its seasons to make me feel
in a way every time.
There are nights when the whiskey felt warm
And there have been nights when it set my heart on fire.
It will all never make sense to me.
And I'd like to keep it that way.

They say,
February is the month
When the blues wake up.
It's been a while since that
Last shared cigarette and
Your name on my skin.
They're all gone, but I've fuckin' learnt.
Some ends shall be preserved
Under the sheets of poetry.

Kashmir stays in me
Like an undeserved pain.
Set fire to the clouds if you desire.
But some broken ends will never meet.
