Gaurav Chakrabarti

Dewdrops on the blades of grass
Innocence of a child it was
The sun shines as its only religion
The moon follows as its way of living

Human songs were intricate and long
Their buildings,byzantine and strong
They studied their subjects to find its father
They ditched effortless to complicate, rather

Infinite to do,infinite to learn
Breaking and building,but forever yearn
You will find wonder when you perfect
Simple is the ultimate complex.

Life pledged changing like the weather
Yearning days when friends basked together
The sun shone high on the southern sky
Dawn to dusk,we touched forever
Life quit changing like the weather
The days stretched long and night, rollover
Finding men who’d be better off dead
Grave uncertainty I met instead
Life ain’t a slave to the weather
Touches all but breathes alone and ever
Broken soul or a heavy heart
Life is larger,when you play your part.

You travel the world to miss your home
You love someone to be alone
You lose pieces of yourself to be whole
You feel defeated to find a higher soul

You paint your pictures to else’s choice of hue
You follow someone else’s point of view
You lose yourself in the world’s ways
Live someone else’s dream in your numbered days

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do
A man must be strong and carry himself through
Go wayward he can in life’s infinite ways
But a man must know to come back to himself.

My heart’s been running against days regular
Aint nothing new in this old stories town
Parks,Malls and Crowds don’t want me
I find myself to sit back and lounge

Aint no mind telling it’s story
Hurting truth ,laughing when crying
In a world of sham and fake love
Belle, you’re the first sunshine

The world has run out of saints to help us
Aint no man without a sin
Ain’t no artist without his broken luck
Colored pictures tattoed on thin skins

Baby,this ain’t no love song to win a heart
This is how a day goes without trying
Been and seen those miles of darkness
But Belle,you’re the first sunshine.

Cant find a mind without concern
Cant find a home without worry
Dont know what the next moment will churn
Racing against time in an ageless hurry

Decades etched as lines on a forehead
Tales told untold
Miles walked as a life that yours led
Your fate and feet are cold

Cant find an angel to protect us
The demons they keep closing in
Dont go changing the world around us
This change is learned from within.

Don’t you fool me no more
I can read your mind
Don‘t you think you’re invisible
I can see you fine
Stone cold lies,betraying eyes
Your words are revealing more than you know
So,don’t you fool me no more.
You‘re a walking,talking person with a black heart
Conning a world that couldn’t tell you apart
But all known things must come to an end
Your kingdom is crumbling from the signals you sent
Don’t you fool me no more.
I could see you were wrong from day number one
Half truths and alibis,songs you had sung
You’re known to go after men like me
But truth don’t change if I’m buried under the sea
Don‘t you fool me no more.

Fill with colour my skies
Paint in visions beyond my eyes
Waltz to my mornings,comfort to my nights
Serenades to my soul,pristine love to my mind

Into the vale in such a beatific milieu
Rain over parched earth and sand
Thunder, it sings,clouds they are artful
Green is the horizon,swaying is the land

Oceans they are inviting,life,they are joyous insane
Forests, in their own languages they sing,infinite divine lanes
As paradise that we could have been
Life, you were a boon to begin.

Where have you been staying, Lady?
Beyond their reach,favours you keep
Throw yourself out into this big bad world
Where have you been staying, Lady?
Clothes all strewn around his room
Reckless heels,cheap perfume
Stopping traffic in that one night dress
Where have you been staying, Lady?
Mask to your feelings,love for this decadence
Angel like wings,caught outside your fantasy fence
Braver than men at borders and seas
Where have you been staying,Lady?
Let them in into your yesterdays
Glimpses they shall find of demure days
Green eyes holding tales to a golden heart
Fate requires that woman to play that part
Where have you been staying,Lady?

We went sailing towards the Sun
Planted in silence, we heard noone
At home with what had come
Free from yesterdays,tomorrows undone
We went cruising towards the Sun

Naked underneath the open skies
Brimming with hope,no reason why
The stars shone lightly and paved their way
To an earth that was waiting light of the day
We went sailing towards the Sun

What salvation lie for us there?
What could we find that we did not have here
The night had its magic,its own panache
We loved the dawn unknown to us
We were sailing towards the Sun.
