IN SEARCH OF YOU

Tired of walking miles together

Who knows –

How far the bridge is

The city is wrapped in sleep

Who will tell me

Which one your lane is

Came for a glimpse of your smile

Yet I did not know

You left your abode for ever

I'm tired of walking miles together

INTROSPECTION

I was growing with

Every sunrise and sunset

So was my soul and mind.

But never knew when

The weed of ego grew inside me

How avarice, selfishness, hypocrisy

Sprouted inside the skull

And devoured my childish simplicity.

But had enough of it by now

Don't want to grow any more

Give me back my innocence

Take away all name and fame

Give me back my childhood.
