Memories

Thou knock at the door when time's passed
And with thine tender arms embracing

Take me in the regions untrod

And then mesmerising me thou sing.

And in thy halcyon song

I find ecstasy for reminiscences of those

To whom thy songs belong

And to whom thou art close.

Thou hold my hand when everyone's far away;

Thou stand with me when everything's lost.

Thine fond arms grow every passing day,
Bosoming amorously and leaving me not.

But from past when in present thou peep

Always, O memories, thou make me weep.

Let Your Heart Be Free

Let your heart be free,
Let it take the height of tree,
Let it laugh free; let it cry free,
Bind it not, let it be.

Let your mind be without fear,
Let it drown in the waters fair.
Let it reign the realm of peace,
Let it soar free but behold the ties.

Let your head be held high,
Across all beauty let it pass by.
Let it not accede in the times worst
But let it bow before your shrines first.

Let be it the same now,
Hope same as you grow old.

For never it's known when and how

One's gripped by the sleep cold.

Free Soul

Let your heart be free,
Let it take the height of tree,
Let it laugh free; let it cry free,
Bind it not, let it be.

Let your mind be without fear,
Let it drown in the waters fair.
Let it reign the realm of peace,
Let it soar free but behold the ties.

Let your head be held high,
Across all beauty let it pass by.
Let it not accede in the times worst
But let it bow before your shrines first.

Who feel His presence are yet quite few,
You do, let freely the soul live.

The Cage

'What fall brings you in here, dear pal?', inquired the mate.
'This game', retorted prisoner, 'of destiny and fate.
This immoral world of modest and decent
Ostracised me, the insane, and here they sent.'

Added the mate, 'But you don't look insane.'
'We are always mislead, my friend,
'By what it seems and what it really is,
'You keep in mind forever this.'

'Yet, to me, you are not as crazy as the world out say
So truly I suggest you do not servile stay.
'Be not here by choice and curse your fate,
'You belong not here', burst the mate.

Replied the prisoner, 'You speak, my friend, so true,
But I cannot just that simply break through.
'Because I am bowed down by the surroundings' propriety.
With my own wings in my own sky I cannot surge freely.'

'There was a period', reminded mate, 'when you used to be me
And we as one used to crawl free.
'We then cared little of the onus
To our own horizon we soared thus.'

'True you are', responded the prisoner, 'but here I must lay,
'Because here I please all though am not gay.
'So here I'll be all through my age,
'For now I have started loving the cage.'

You Have To Walk Alone

When none responds to your call,
None gives a hand to pick you from fall;
When none respect your hard moan,
On those deaf paths, you have to walk alone.

When your heart is tumultuous,
When your thoughts are ferocious
And your mind bears a fierce cyclone,
To ignite tranquility, you have to walk alone.

When they distrust your stand;
Even little faith when none grant.
When there's no respect for past mark shown,
To reinstate, you have to walk alone.

When thyself they make you forget
And vex your serene state;
Yet you believe to overstep are you prone,
Then for self you have to walk alone.
