तृप्ति (satisfaction)

With swollen eyes she saw me
As I returned from the war
And a single tear, down her face did slide

I'd been away a long while
She'd wait patiently each day
And show to the world that she was satisfied

My first love is my country,
My first love is the war
SO I can't return the love she deserves

But I've always wondered why
She seems so satisfied
Even though all her love for me she reserves

I sometimes suspect she's cheating
She couldn't possibly love me so
But when our lips touch, it erases all doubt

And the day I'm out in town
She'll never show she's mad
I have never seen her frown or pout.

I wish that every man could
Know a love that's so sincere
And he'd keep her till the day he died

Today I look down at her
She still waits for me with a smile
She knows I'm dead but still she's, satisfied.

Stargazers (or Baby Star) - Cutting Chai 07 Song

This song was composed for a band event in R.D. National College where we had to compose a song using a nursery rhyme as a theme. This was October 2007, and I have lost the original copy of it so i have modified the original including creating the 2nd verse from scratch. Hope you like.

An empty shell lies now
On that spot on my head
Where your palm would lie
Praying I wouldn’t die
You can’t believe that now I’m dead
But the blood’s rushing down my head
And now you’re all alone
A dog without a bone
Together we would touch the sky
But now you look up wondering why
We were Stargazers
We were Stargazers…

Chorus: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Shine until the morning’s nigh
The skies are filled with silver stars
Layers of clouds couldn’t hide these scars
A bolt of lightning where I lie
Like a diamond in the sky.

We used to dream on, through the night
Our dreams would come true, under the light
The moon would watch us grow
Sleeping in the snow
Singing together, in the rain
It’s raining blood now you feel the pain
A vacuum in your soul
Eating you up whole
Now when you look at the sky above
My star will shine upon you with love
So be a Stargazer
Be a Stargazer…

Wait (thanks Jai)

Wait...




Wait is all she said months ago
When she left me on the floor
Pulmonarily crippled for life
Happiness to see no more.

Wait is all I do, at my window
Crouching, staring at the moon
Smiling at its dark side
Crawling into my cocoon

Those who look see a wreck
Run over by the tanks of pain
Those who listen hear a scream
And silently pray for the insane

On machines now I survive
My body my eternal prison
Bound and labelled Lunatic
Love has poured its derision.
