Oh Spirit. Awaken...

Rise from the dead,

The Sun has spoken,

His final words to me,

Make sense.

Something that was lost,

Something, deep inside, hidden,

Something, I thought was dead,

Something has to arouse, awaken.

The eyes wide open,

Reflecting a dark horizon,

Searching for a spark,

Searching now, forever

To end this instability,

And bring peace.

Oh spirit,

Rise now, and meet me halfway,

My quest has just begun.

Rise, from the dead,

Awaken!

Arsh... (c)

For Freedom...

A leap into an unknown space,
One more time,
The risk has to be taken,
From the depths of a dark valley,
Courage has been awakened..
A tempest raging in the mind,
Unsettling the calm of the night,
The thought of what awaits beyond obscurity,
For Freedom, we fight....

When will I know?

(Written 3 years back. a light romantic song)

I saw two special strangers,

In a street full of them,

And they were holding hands

Like they were more than just friends.

Their eyes locked on each other,

Dreaming how much time to spend,

And I smiled as I walked by,

But I just couldn’t pretend.

I’m lost in the sea of strangers,

Who have nothing new to say,

Will I find the girl I love,

And will she feel the same way?

When will I know?

How it feels to be cared,

How it feels to be loved

By someone you care.

When will I feel,

That bond slip around me,

When love will surround me,

And the feeling wont end...

Arsh...

We are Together...

{This song is dedicated to my closest friends (Charan, Mallu, Sanket, Amru, Sandhya, Anu, Sush and  Geeta). Wrote this remembering the bond that we had when we were all still together in certain bad circumstances and misunderstandings. I sang this one for them when we got together for a CadB after the great news of Mallu's wedding. ....enjoy...}

Its been a long night,

Everyones had it their way.

I summoned all the smiles,

Been waiting for this day.

The stars are now shining,

On everyones face,

With all that we’ve been through,

We’ve grown at a good pace.

And now that we’re together again,

Let’s make this pledge,

Let’s cherish those memories,

Put the past over the edge.

Let it fall so below,

That it takes all the fear,

Love’s brought us closer,

And we are all here..

The wounds are now healing,

They've been angry for long,

Why did it take so long,

For this news to come along.

And tears pour out now,

I’ve stopped them for long,

Weathers cold, but I’m warm,

As I write this song.

And now that we’re together again,

Let’s make this pledge,

Let’s cherish those memories,

Put the past over the edge.

Let it fall so below,

That it takes all the fear,

Love’s brought us closer,

And we are all here..

We are all near, together..

Arsh...

(Miss you all...)

Beautiful Wings...

It started on a leaf,

A leaf of hope,

Green fresh and beautiful,

Feeling so beautiful.

A new life it was,

Like a new comer it stood by

Watching around, hearing

And here it learned an important rule.

We have to grow,

We have to move ahead,

Forward, no matter how many

Obstacles on the way…

It spun around itself,

A coat of solitude,

Some time to think,

To wonder where it stood.

When the doubts cleared,

And the darkness went away,

It opened up its wings,

Ready to make the distance.

Arsh...:)

Powerful

It  says  to  me,

In  every  moment  that’s  new,

Right  inside  from  my  heart,

All  thoughts  are  flowing  through.

It  is  the  time  to  race,

Before  these  all  fly,

Like  a  thousand  butterflies,

Towards  an  endless  sky.

I  feel  inside  of  me,

A  fire  through  my  veins,

I  know, I  will  get  there,

Even  through  the  darkest  rains.

And  for  all  obstacles  I’m  ready,

Unstoppable  I  am, those  fools,

The  pain  that  I’ve  been  through,

Have  made  me  powerful.

Now  fighting  is  my  passion,

And  courage  up  my  sleeve,

Some  of  them  are  slain,

The  rest, shall  leave.

Then  triumph  again, it  shows  me,

It  shows  me  a  fascination,

As  my  eyes  carry  my  feet  towards,

My  final  destination.

Arsh.

Bring me the Horizon...

 

WALKING THROUGH THE THORNS, I SEE,THE DARKNESS FADING AHEAD OF ME,AND THOUGH A STARLESS NIGHT IT SEEMS,I KNOW THEY ARE WATCHING OVER ME.SO IT SEEMS, THE WAYS ARE SHUT,TOWARDS A PULSATING SUNLIGHT, BUTI STILL WALK ON AS WINDS TAKE ME,INTO ERRY DEPTHS, SO SUBTLY!

MY SHADOW HAS LOST THE TRACK OF ME,INDEED THERE’S SOMETHING I SHOULD SEE,

NOW SAILING FOR AN ETERNITY,

RECKLESSLY THROUGH A DEEP DEEP SEA.

BRING ME THAT HORIZON NOW,

THAT WILL CLEAR ALL UNCERTAINTIES,

BREAKING SILENCES ON ME BESTOW,

A POWER ABOVE INEVITABILITY.

RISING OVER THE WAVES THAT BRIDGE,

MY PASSAGE TOWARDS MY DESTINY,

A SIBLING THOUGH, HOPE’S STILL THERE,

I’LL CRACK THESE MIRTHLESS WAVES TO SEA.

A DAWN AFTER LONG IT WILL BE,

THE COLORS OF LIFE SHALL REFILL ME,

SO BRING ME THAT HORIZON AGAIN,

AS I LEAP AHEAD IN CERTAINTY…

Arsh..

Living a Thousand Lives...

Daily  a  night  is  falling  by,

Daily  the  Sun  arises  again,

Till  the  last  ray  from  the  woods  so  deep,

Dimming  light, night  falling  again,

And  as  these  cycles  go  on  and  on,

My  love  never  once  sways,

Till  the  moon  smiles  upon  a  dawn,

I  live  a  thousand  days !

The  day  when  you  met  me  there,

That  day  I  never  forgot,

My  eyes  are  searching  everywhere,

Wherever  you  were, I  thought,

And  then  as  tears  wash  me  where,

The  days  I  now  recall,

And  as  a  helpless, feeble  weed,

My  mind, my  heart  here  fall.

My  heart  now  sings  songs  of  love,

And  feels  you  will  be  back,

How  long  can  you  fly, My  Dove ?

Something  from  you, will  lag.

And  now  I  walk  upon  this  way,

Fueled  with  love, my  heart  strives.

With  you  spent  every  single  day,

Is  like  living  a  thousand  lives !  

Arsh.

Nights of the Rising Sun...

No  star  is  shining  bright  enough,

To  bring  me  light  this  night.

No  sun  can  rise  before  the  dawn,

To  take  away  my  frights.

But  still  I  wait, strong  and  straight,

Drying  up  all  my  tears.

A  fear  of  losing  it  all, I  hate,

Fear, above  all  Fears.

There  are  no  dreams, I  haven’t  dreamt,

But  closer  to  none, I  am.

Obstacles, no  matter, come  what  may,

I  do  not  give  a  damn.

Since  then  I  face, the  Flashes  of  Fate,

With  smile  on  my  face  and  fun.

I  wait . . . Against  my  will, I  wait,

For  the  Nights  of  the  Rising  Sun.

Against  my  will, but  hope  it  is,

That  cradles  me  from  the  rough.

My  mind  says  so, I’ll  see  the  rays.

Victory  over  the  dark   isn’t  that  tough.

Though  if  somehow  the  Dark  survives,

This  night, just  like  some.

I’ll  move  along  just  as  I  say,

Tough  Times  are  still  to  come . . . ! 

Arsh. 

A Rock to Step on... (Lyric)

{A Rock to Step on...

Project: A White Rising}

(The idea for this theme and song came into my mind when i was behind the wheel, on my way to my college. Came up with a few lines that i penned down. Also a special thanks to Miss Zee (Zasper) who quickly came up with the second verse of the song, perfect for the thought that lead to the positive chorus... Arsh)

Washed away,

In a valley somewhere,

Give me something,

A rock to step back on..

Watched the Sunrise,

And watched it set,

Over my dreams,

The night has grown so strong..

If only i remember,

How i was back then, before the fall.

If only i can feel something,

A presence, a shinin star at nightfall.

I can see something like a

Light from the outer space,

I feel no fear,

I take a leap of faith.

i was blind, but now i can see,

Clear skies in front of me.

I am flying,

I’m leaving my doubts behind..

Every day, I

Sway with this one feeling,

That there is another reason,

For me to live.

Is it just me? Coz

I’ve stopped believing,

Can anyone hear me?

Every truth is just so deceiving..

If only i remembered,

How i was back then, before the fall.

If only i can feel something,

A presence, a shinin star at the nightfall.

I can see something like a

Light from the outer space,

I feel no fear,

I take a leap of faith.

i was blind, but now i can see,

Clear skies in front of me.

I am flying,

I’m leaving my doubts behind..

Every time i get pushed down,

There is something i want to rise back for.

This is the light i’ve been searching for.

I take a deep breath,

I feel lighter than before, here i come,

I have faith now....

I can see something like a

Light from the outer space,

I feel no fear,

I take a leap of faith.

i was blind, but now i can see,

Clear skies in front of me.

I am flying,

I’m leaving my doubts behind..

Arsh...

Day May Come.... (Lyric)

Changing seasons,

Changing days of my life.

I have a reason,

A reason to be alive.

No these failures,

Can’t get to me anymore.

And so is the same,

With tears and smiles.

I’ve been alone for long...

Long roads to travel,

I’ve been in the hearts,

Of the weak, & the strong,

To lose control now,

Of this life I’m leading,

I have a good feeling,

That sorrows end, i don’t pretend,

That day may come...

Life gives you,

Lot of things to live for.

May be I am blinded,

Too blinded, by my pride.

Must shed off the mask,

To see all the happiness,

These glares that I wear,

Preclude my vision beyond the tide.

I have been long for long,

Not long enough to forget...

Long roads to travel,

I’ve been in the hearts,

Of the weak, n the strong,

To lose control now,

Of this life I’m leading,

I have a good feeling,

That sorrows end, I don’t pretend,

That day may come,

That Day May Come...

Arsh.

I Believe...

Halfway into the universe,
I see the burning of the sky,
The churning of our dreams,
Drowning, dying out tonight.
Like a dark secret prophecy,
That was revealed to us before.
And now faith and our prayers
Fail to hold....

And here i am, flyin away,
To where i have never been.
What am i to find there?
Would it ever be like my home...?

And how long will it take,
To reach there, in my sleep,
I will dream, i will dream...

That when the Sun rises again,
And the light reaches me,
I hope it burns my mistakes,
And then i will be free.
To rise again, preserve,
The beauty of what i see,
To this day i have faith, in me
I believe....

(...To be continued)

....Arsh.
