That was the day she broke down the fence
to fly towards her secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.

To move further with sheer confidence;
was certain to leave her nightmares behind,
she was untiring and keen.

Finally the time has come to reclaim her life.

Long before the Prejudices
Long before the bigotry and discrimination
Long before the Human world’s dreadful transformation;
Long before the wars, hostilities and confrontation
The world was full of Kindness, care and compassion
There’s goodness all around;

Those days, we would look into the stars of heaven
And wonder if we would ever find our own;

Happiness doesn’t lie in the stuffs we gather around
To find it, keep your eyes open;

Joy, bliss, pleasure, delight or satisfaction,
If you look often, will find in abundant.

Those were the days, when someone unknown would become a part of your life;
You would be in love and often wonder why the world is so bright!

After a while, they would drift away leaving you behind;
You would be alone with no will to survive.

No matter how much one try, tears just don’t dry;
Still can't say that final goodbye.

They say cry, forgive, learn and move on, put the past behind you and so on,
Some people are not meant to be together, but hopes are still on;
There would be a day when we would be together under the full moon.

Strange whimsical winds,
Drifting across the city bylanes; as if some poet's nomadic dreams.

Whether it's gloomy nights or bright mornings,
Winds won't stop; as it can't differentiate these things.

Storming through the strange alleys,
There's none so place which stays windless.

Whether roaring blizzard or soothing breeze,
It pierce people's soul with discriminating ease.

In half agony and half hope,
I looked back and forth,
Could not get a glimpse of you in this unseen natural wrath.

Uncertain of my fate; I must depart,
To find you in my lonely heart.

It’s been a year and half since you are gone
Still remembers your promise of coming back before the dawn

May be it was just my hallucination,
Yet I believed in it, but you never returned.

Never got saddened as I assumed, sooner or later you gonna come back home
Though that did not happen, my hopes are still on

Without you, my whole world came to a standstill
Yet, you considered all of it, as absurd and unreal

Without you, the light of my life is gone,
I can’t even feel the heavy rain or the blazing sun

The shimmering light which was about to get bright,
Turned dimmer, leaving far from each one’s sight

But still the eyes are wide open,
And heart goes numb, whenever there’s a knock on the door
So please come back soon

All of a sudden, people started babbling about a revolution,
Eventually, they were feeling proud in calling India home

A country free of poverty, of no more corruption scandals
Change finally arrived as people are geared up for the final battle

No more inequality, end of youth’s blameless apathy

Thou shalt not allow these crooked politicians to spread their wings
It was at par with the successful renaissance of Arab spring

But I lied to you all, as it was just a dream
Which got ruined as I woke up with a delusionary scream?

A year has passed; age old views were thrown to the dust,
They dreamt of changing the world, but somehow got lost.

The shimmering light, which was about to get bright,
Why turning dimmer, leaving far from each one’s sight.
