The Fallen Leaves

                            The Fallen Leaves

See how I gather up the grains of sand..

Torn strips of memories, careless in a tired hand..

As Time summons me upon the podium of Rebirth..

I choose to stay lost;

Holding onto the last bit of Earth.

Moist from my damp tears..

I have now triumphed my fears..

Late at night..when the city sleeps..

I retire on the cradle of Despair,

Singing lullabies of a broken heart..

Into my eager ears..

Aah..what a comfort the pain is!

And when the sun rays suffocate behind the window panes..

Death in my dreams..Impervious curtains..

Life has been a mirage to me…

Beauty and Truth..,Impostors set free..

And then when I came across you..

I got a clearer view..

Of the infinite darkness beneath my feet

One tottering step forward, and the defeat..

But..see..here I have got the unfailing star..

Holding my hand..

Not luring me to fake happiness..

Just letting me stand..

Under Her calm light..

To sustain me through Your night..

So I am not gonna give up smiling..

I will live on the edge till My star is shining

Even if you try to give me the push..

I will stay firm..and steady..

But not turn back..for I am not ready..

To face you again..and rejuvenate my bruises..

I will Live…Can you hear me?

I will live…as I am,

And just let it be..
