Another Chance (A Lyric)

 

Let’s make another chance

To get back to the life

We left behind

In a trail abandoned

For taming the wild;

In the trail

Of our dormant dreams

For a life easily beguiled.

 

Let’s turn again

Our Dreaming on

And tune to the

Loving country song.

I wanna ride my soul

Back to the childhood days

By the green meadows

And the hillside lake

…………………….

I wanna bathe again

In the melting rays

Of winging dreams

In the dancing rains….

 

I wanna run again

Along the fluting wind,

Putting off my boots

Behind the devil’s bend,

Shedding all my loads

Along the autumn’s end….

 

I wanna chase the blue

At the end of green

I wanna feel again

The maddening teen

With the kissing dews

In a breaking dawn,

With the wild flowers

Of an unmowed lawn…

 

Let’s turn again

Our Dreaming on

And tune to the

Loving country song.

I wanna ride my soul

Back to the childhood days

By the green meadows

And the hillside lake

…………………….

I wanna bathe again

In the melting rays

Of childish dreams

In the dancing rains….

 

The world is not

What it seems to be;

The dreams are not

How they’re meant to me…

I’m falling on and on

With time heavy on me;

I’m falling on and on

In a troubled sea…

 

I wanna be lost again

In the wilderness;

I wanna feel again

All that meaninglessness

In floating time

With the flowing Moon

Or chasing the breeze

In a summer noon

With all that carelessness….

 

Let’s turn again

Our Dreaming on

And tune to the

Loving country song.

I wanna ride my soul

Back to the childhood days

By the green meadows

And the hillside lake

…………………….

I wanna bathe again

In the melting rays

Of childish dreams

In the dancing rains….

If You Just Loved Me Once…(A Lyric)

 

If you just loved me once, 

If you just loved me, dear...

If for the drop of a moment,

If for once in a lunar year,

I would weave all my pain

Into the dreams of a summer rain

In an ocean blue layer…

 

If you just loved me once

If you just loved me, dear,

If for once in a lunar year,

I would bloom an autumn flute

From the ice on the air,

I would dare the flaming hell,

I would win my lonely war…

 

If you could just let me feel

The touches of your flying hair,

If it's just for a moment...

For once in an evening zephyr,

I would weave all my pain

Into the dreams of a summer rain

With the flow of a poetic flair…

 

If you could just let me lost

Into the shades of your eyes

Even for a little while

With nothing on earth to care,

I would weave all my pain

Into the dreams of summer rain

With all the love a soul can bear..

 

If you just loved me once

If you just loved me, dear,

If for once in a lunar year,

I would bloom an autumn flute

From the ice on the air,

I would dare the flaming hell,

I would win my lonely war…

 

If I could just see my dreams

Into the blue of your eyes,

If it's for a moment, dear

In the flow of your smiles,

I would weave all my pain

Into the dreams of a summer rain

With all my frozen prayers…

 

If you could just hold my hands

With no one else to care;

If it’s just for a moment

Even in a careless leisure,

I would weave all my pain

Into the dreams of summer rain

With all my hidden tears…

 

If you just loved me once

If you just loved me, dear,

If for once in a lunar year,

I would bloom an autumn flute

From the ice on the air,

I would dare the flaming hell,

I would win my lonely war…

 

If you could just let me by you

For a walk by a lonely lagoon

Just for a few moments

Under the drops of a flowing Moon,

I would weave all my pain

Into the dreams of a summer rain

To walk alone for ever and ever…

You Will Never Know (A Lyric)

 

I can’t write no more lyrics

I can’t play with no more beats

Nor can I hold back the howling shrieks

Heart’s gonna take on no more tricks

My words are turning sighs of dew

Without you… without you…

 

Now…

The Sun is sinking in the ocean bleu

I’m falling apart in such a lovely view

My words are turning sighs of dew

Without you… without you…

 

But you will never know

How painful is this

To miss you in such a color bliss;

You will never know

My memory lane:

It's you, just you and nothing else.

 

And you will never know

How heavy it feels

The burden of my untold words

You will never know

My freezing soul

With the wailing of my inner bards.

 

Now…

The Sun is sinking in the ocean bleu

I’m falling apart in such a lovely view

My words are turning sighs of dew

Without you… without you…

 

But you will never know

How I keep searching

The monsoon rain.

You will never know

How hard it is to hide 

My flowing pain.

 

And you will never know

The thousand dreams

I kept weaving

In all my prays… In all my hymns;

You will never know

The thousand lies,

I’m telling my heart

To wake up again in the summer beams…

 

Now…

The Sun is sinking in the ocean bleu

I’m falling apart in such a lovely view

My words are turning sighs of dew

Without you… without you…

 

In all those lost and loving days

I felt you, just you around me.

You had always been

The soothing beauty,

What my aching heart

Would ever want to see…

 

But, you left me by an ocean

My heart could never foresee

My soul got tied to a bleeding thorn

And I can’t just set it free…

Though you left me for a reason unknown

I never stopped loving you…

Though my life got trapped in a winter rain

I just can’t stop loving you…

 

But, the Sun is sinking in the ocean bleu

I’m falling apart in such a lovely view

My words are turning sighs of dew

Without you… without you…

One Winter...(A Lyric)

I see summers raining past me...

With autumns in the eyes of lovers;

I see springs in a blooming spree

With the petals of dancing colours…

But my heart got stuck in one winter

To fly along a misty wing for ever and ever…

 

I was all alone in my lonely lawn

Watching carelessly

The shy drops of Moon,

When I met her eyes

In a sudden sweep of rain

On a derailed monsoon...

 

The white misty layer

Sprang up out of nowhere

Just after the twilight

In that early winter night.

 

The Moon was on its ninth,

Picking up the pace

To be in full bloom,

Amidst the shuttered rays of light.

 

Oh! Dear! I see summers raining past me...

With autumns in the eyes of lovers;

I see springs in a blooming spree

With the petals of dancing colours…

But my heart got stuck in one winter

To fly along a misty wing for ever and ever…

 

She was drifting in

Like a bunch of foamy clouds

With a sweet autumn breeze;

And I got my mind seized in a spell

To see my fall in a pair of blue eyes

Floating past my heart ringing a bell…

 

Now, with all the maddening feelings

Brimming out of my mind

I keep looking at my empty manuscript

In a mess of failed words

In a mess of colours to find

To paint a passion flowing like hell…

 

I loved to weave dreams

With winters fluting the summer rains;

Bridging morning dews

With the lonely nocturnal pains.

Now my heart keeps flowing on

In the layers of my dreams

Looking for a pair of eyes

In the shades of lunar beams...

 

Oh! Dear! I see summers raining past me...

With autumns in the eyes of lovers;

I see springs in a blooming spree

With the petals of dancing colours…

But my heart got stuck in one winter

To fly along a misty wing for ever and ever…

 

At the end of one winter

There will be no sign of

The long-forgotten spring.

The trail of fallen leaves

Will get drier and heavier

With no trace of greening…

 

All the tales of the world

Will come to an end,

With all the colours fading out

In a devouring bend…

 

And there will be just dreams

Over the ashen blue sky,

Floating like bubbles

In the faded layers of streams…

 

And in one of those dreams

There will be my empty manuscript…

Riding with a pair of blue eyes:

The eyes with a straight look

And a blank smile

With the mystery of the Forgotten Isle.

 

Oh! Dear! I see summers raining past me...

With autumns in the eyes of lovers;

I see springs in a blooming spree

With the petals of dancing colours…

But my heart got stuck in one winter

To fly along a misty wing for ever and ever…

But I Won’t Be There…(A Lyric)

 

Maybe someday,

Few years from today

The Moon will be shining

The same on its 9th

With its maddening silver ray.

But, I won't be there…my love

I won’t be there

As the lonely Moon Rider…

 

Night, may be a winter one,

Will seize the colors of the sky,

Letting some lunar drops

Fall into the ground,

But, I won’t be there

To wander around.

 

Maybe like the night when

I quench my feet and soul together

With the drizzles of mist

And the dream of a smile

Once you sowed carelessly 

To flicker my heart forever…

 

But, I won't be there…my love

I won’t be there

As the lonely Moon Rider…

 

I won’t be there

Garnering the drops of Moon

Playing with the shades of night

Hiding along

The dreamy hazy layers…

I won't be there 

Drawing the lunar dreams

Blending the colors of the spring,

Imaging a pair of eyes

Through my frozen tears...

 

I won’t be there

Letting my winging soul

Dance with the flowing fireflies;

I won’t be there

Listening to the floating songs

Of a nostalgic cuckoo

In a melancholic flair.

 

I won’t be there

With my every little prayers

In the shades of hopes and despairs

And the unearthed love I ever care.

I won't be there…my love

I won’t be there

As the lonely Moon Rider…

 

Though I’m not sure

If I will see from above

The glowing dews

In the nocturnal breeze,

The wild lovely flowers

At the top of the ridge.

 

But I wish to see you, dear

Sitting alone by a window

With the splashes of drizzling.

I wish to see your apathetic look

And a smile hardly traceable,

Watching the meaningless Moon

Through the music of raining.

 

Though I won't be there…anymore 

As the lonely Moon Rider…

The Moon will be

Shining the same on its 9th

With its maddening silver ray.

And I'll be losing beneath the time

On the other side of the bay...
