I walked alone

(Prequel of when alone)

In dark nights

When no one in sight

I search for someone

Who can walk by side,

Unable to look around

I cry in pain

I close my eyes

Floating in emotional tide,

I feel myself as a small bird

Flying over the sea

With tired wings going up and down

Oh god!!! It hurts being left alone,

I remember my days

When with all my friends

I used to enjoy for whole night

Now when everyone gone

I feel myself as a small child

Who has no idea which way to go

I look around for someone again

Who can hold my hand

And help me to cross the lane,

But unable to find anyone there again

I close my eyes

To look for, someone again

Then I think of my crush and feels she is there

Sitting beside me with hand in hand

I feel so happy and try to sleep

With my head on her lap,

Then suddenly I feel my alarm ringing

BOOM!!! And everything was gone

I open my eyes and find I was dreaming

Sun was shining all over my face

And again I walked alone…

when alone

When alone

When no one around

When all alone

When feeling so down

When everything goes wrong,

I remember

My so sweet mom

Who loves no one

More than her son

It makes me feel like a king

Who can win

Even a war alone,

I remember

 my so strong dad

Who wants to see his son

Even stronger than

Himself

It makes me feel like I am the one

Who can catch even the sun alone,

I remember my lovely sisters

Who wants to see their brother

As hero of the nation

it makes me feel like I am the one

Who can do anything alone...

Oh god!!! How can I be alone

When my family is there with me

Praying, hoping, clapping for me

Then I feel I am never alone!!!

life in the valley

Life in the valley

Life…

Name of a flying bird

Flying in open sky,

Name of a dancing river stream

Flowing through rocky hills,

Name of a smile on the face of new born baby

Who smiles without any reason

Smile coz he wants to,

Name of the beautiful morning

In the valley

When a fisherman in the dull lake

Sings a folk in his typical style,

When a whole crowd

Prays to their god

With all of their hands wide open to the sky,

But life is also name of burning bodies of Childs

Died in a bomb explosion

Its true that he did not do anything wrong

But wanted to play football, when it did blast!!!

It is also name of dying hungry farmer family

Who can’t plow the field

Coz its curfew in the valley

Coz anytime a bomb can make his field look like hell

Coz anytime a landmine can make him die!!!

It is also name of a mother with puffy eyes

Who doesn’t know

Whether his piece of heart, his son

Will return home after school

Whether his hubby will come back home

Or whether she will be able

To protect herself from hungry wolves

Roaming in the valley

Who call themselves, freedom fighter!!!

Life is also name of the promises

Done by the politicians

Every time something goes wrong

And they want nothing but to save

their chair, at any cost!!!
