Wish Wish

Wish wish,

How I wish,

To be in Solitude.

Far Far,

Far away,

From these surroundings Confused.

Gone gone,

Be gone,

This Confusion.

Need need,

I need,

A Solution.

Need need,

I need,

A friend, brimming with Compassion.

Do do,

What should I do,

I feel so Restless.

Away away,

Take me away,

From this colossal Mess.

Ask ask,

All I ask,

Is for Peace.

Buzz buzz,

Goes the world,

Like busy Bees.

Where where,

Tell me where,

Is the me I Know?

Why why,

O’ why,

Do I feel so Low?

- By Nitye Sood

Knowledge

Why, oh why?
Why do I have to know?
Why can’t I just ignore?
The impurities of life.
Its factualities!

Beautiful were those days,
When I didn’t know,
These feelings so grosse.
When I didn’t comprehend,
Until the end!

But now that I know,
It’s tougher to follow,
The path, which I so well know-
- Of Knowledge!

A Shadow Of The Past

- A song by Nitye Sood

A shadow of the past,

Lingers, lingers,

Forever lingers.

It taunts,

It haunts,

Hinders, hinders,

Forever hinders.

Glimpses, it shows,

Of moments,

Full of Peace, Serenity, Glory,

All the times I was happy.

Glimpses, it shows,

Of moments,

Full of Ignorance, Cowardice, Stupidity,

All the times I acted cocky.

And all it does,

Is,

It makes me feel gloomy.

For, all that was nice,

Is now,

Alas, only moments of nostalgia,

Only figments of memory.

And all that was wrong,

Is now,

Inseparable from the subconscious psyche,

Reminders, of much that was disturbing,

That, which I took lightly.

A shadow of the past,

Lingers, lingers,

Forever lingers.

It taunts,

It haunts,

Hinders, hinders,

Forever hinders.

Glimpses, it shows,

Of all that was possible,

Of chances I let go,

Of opportunities I didn’t grab,

Of all the times I said No!

Of resources I didn’t tap!

Glimpses, it shows,

Of words I didn’t say,

Of all that I didn’t do,

Of all that I did say!

Of all that stood a chance!

A shadow of the past,

Lingers, lingers,

Forever lingers…

Sleepless Nights

Sleepless nights,

Thought I, one evening,

Walking down a crowded street of the city.

Wallowing in self pity,

Thinking of my own Plight.

Sleepless nights,

Thought I, one evening,

Sitting in the garden.

They come when you’re in love!

And it’s too hard to not think of your beloved!

When cupid takes flight!

Sleepless Nights,

Thought I, one evening,

Lying in bed.

They come with conscience and guilt!

When it’s too hard to not think of what you did!

And you despair,

As the darkness brings naught but fright!

Sleepless nights,

Thought I, one evening,

Sitting at my desk.

What else? - Its exam time!

You fret you panic you fright!

And the knot in your tummy is tight!
