~Rat Race~

We are all engaged in this rat race,

Trying to make the best run.

But do we ever look at each other’s face,

And be willing to enjoy and have some fun.

For some , it is crucial to end with pace,

Even if it is to take in hand , a gun.

Few of us would live long to see a day,

But the rest shall sure fade away.

It is an irony that we try running faster, this race

While not knowing what it is past that lace.

What is the point in running so fast?

When you know we all shall perish one day.

The Hope!

Neither can i live with you, nor without

And when I’m all alone it’s you that I think about

Every moment I was with you, it did feel right

Now When I close my eyes, it is you that stand bright

When I turn around and look back on the sand

I miss those tracks you used to leave on the land

Now Over the ledge of my heart is where I stand,

I wish you were close that I could hold your hand.

All that lives in me now are those moments of life

Those Flashes of reminiscence, that keeps me alive

These memories with salt and ice, I shake,

Mix it with a glass of vodka, and then take.

Sipping down from the chalice of pain

As I slowly walk down the unknown lane

With the hope and prayer that one day

I shall hold your hand once again, at the heavenly bay
