"And I could do nothing.."

( We can change nothing but ourselves.. )

I found a baby dumped in a bin..
a girl she was-was her only sin..
Wrapped in a cloth, she lay n cried..
n all i could say-'dear i tried'..

I met a boy, young in his teens..
hazy he looked like a worn out jeans..
A victim of bullying he was,i suppose..
to run away, was all he'd propose...
Abused n beaten up,in the rain he cried..
n all i could say-'dear i tried'..

The other day,noticed some guys in an alley..

whistling at a girl from down the valley..

Tantrums n abuses everyday she faced..
avoiding their shadows steadily she paced..
Tired of harassment she cried in the sun
n all i could say-'i tried a ton'..

A few years further a lady back of my house..
was badly thrashed by her beloved spouse..
Next day she was put ablaze on fire..
n all i did - stare the burning pyre..

The whole world crashed before my eye..
n i just stood with grief n sigh..

Why i did nothing when it mattered??
why is everything down n shattered??

Now, beside her grave, desperate, i cried..
but a voice said,"at-least you tried"..

We can't change a thing unless we change ourselves..
n you can't change a thing but just yourselves..

Nothing in there was really mine...
i never owned a single dime
All i could change was my soul n mind..
that i could say was actually mine...

"Fate n Destiny..."

(Never expect too much in life 'coz expectations always lead to disappointments...)

I was born alone..
n in my grave i'll lie alone..
then why in this life do i need someone to walk along..

It was 18th feb of the year '99..
I met her in the bright sunshine..
Listening to her voice that night..
I lost my heart at her first sight..

Next morning when the moon came out..
I woke with start n began to shout..
My life was all turned upside down..
I was a shining diamond n she a holy crown..

I asked her the question..
she answered it yes..
I was the mighty king..
in this game of chess..

Together we sailed the dreaded ocean..
Like two beasts druged with the love potion..
Every night we sat on the silver moon..
Played with stars, danced to their tune..

Life was worth livng..
with her by my side..
But both were unaware..
of that turning tide..

Then on that cold night..
the tragedy did befall..
When under some bad omen..
i recieved that call..

she was on bed..
n the time was less..
All the dreamz broken..
our life was a mess..

She looked at me with her teary eyes..
I could feel her bidding me final gudbyes..

That moment i took her hand..
Both fell silent..none could stand..
I assured her evrything- would be fine..
That was the last day of the year '99....

With the new millenia came a new hope..
But we were still dangling by a thin rope..

The dark clouds began to subside..
n we emerged out of the stormy tide..
Winter went past..
spring came along..
The path lay ahead us..
was straight n long..

Once again she was the queen..
I was her knight..
We danced merrily..
under the moonless night..

Our life was upbeat..
wide n far..
But both were aware..
of that painful scar..

Together we sang the songs so bright..
Soon they turnd to screams in the dark night..

Now, i sit at her grave..
with a rose in my hand..
Again..both are silent..
none could stand..

Why did she leave me..
when i loved her so much..
She went away to heaven..
n i am left here on a crutch..

If this was our fate..
n death our destiny..
Then why did we meet..
to create this fatal felony..

One day when i'll meet her in the heaven..
I'll take her to the year 1897...

I'll ask god why he did me wrong...
why in life do we need someone to move along...
when we know..we were born alone..
n one day in our graves we'll lie alone..!!
