So come.

When I see you my knees go weak

With you the future is a little less bleak.

With you I am a little more comfortable being a freak.

Together we complete our own clique.

So come, lets take each other's hand.

So come, lets travel to a distant land.

You and me, we can build our castle in the sand.

With you a routine life becomes grand.

So come lets make each other better

Together lets rid ourselves of these fetters. 

So come, lets take each other's hand.

So come, lets travel to a distant land.

I want to pamper you with random gifts.

When I see you my mood just positively shifts.

I want to pop up at your place after every fight.

I don't want you to go to sleep mad  for even one night.

I want to see you smile everyday

Even if I am a thousand miles away.

So come, lets give this a chance.

So come, all I am asking for is one dance.

I want us to share all our tales.

Our successes and our fails.

I want to spend nights talking,

Drinking bottles of wine

Hand in hand, under the street lights on empty paths walking,

Looking at each other we would know we wound up just fine.

So come, lets trust each other.

So come, lets love one another.

I want us to take trips together, 

Driving without a destination,

Lets get on the road to forever,

Lets make this life our vacation.

With one hand on the steering and one in yours

I know together we have all the cures.

With Sting playing in the car,

And you humming to it with your aviators on,

The wind is ruffling your hair,

But somehow you just don't care

Its covering your eyes a bit,

So you wrap it around your index put on a wry smile and clumsily play.

Looking at you I think, oh what a beautiful day.

So come lets complete this never ending voyage.

So come, lets always be on the same page.

For this story is ours 

We can take it wherever you want darling, on this Earth or even on Mars. 

I want to Netflix and chill with you.

I want to share all of life's thrills with you.

I could binge watch Narcos with you,

I could binge a pizza from Marco's with you.

I want to spend hours reading books with you

I want to camp beside brooks with you.

I want to spend time in silence with you.

You doing your thing me doing mine,

It would be perfect for a weekend deep in the pines.

So come lets roll a J and fly together.

I promise if things go wrong we will try together. 

So come, let me get the door for you.

So come, let my lungs go sore for you.

Let my heart beat for you.

Let me share sheets with you. 

I want to see you every morning when I open my eyes

And if the truth is too boring,

Then let me tell you sweet harmless lies. 

I want to see you every night before I go to sleep.

I want you to put your head on my shoulder while you weep. 

So come, let me get the door for you.

So come, let me put one knee on the floor for you. 

You are the best thing thats happened to me.

You are the one that set me free.

With you life is a beautiful dream.

Its like waffles with whipped cream.

I have never felt this elated,

I think our meeting was fated.

So come, lets take each other's hand.

So come, lets travel to a distant land

Silhouette

Meandering in the moonlight,

On an empty street in the night.

My mind wandered back to you,

Back to when it was just us two.

Why did you have to cut and run?

I always thought of you as the one

Together we were toxic in nature,

We were not  a pleasant caricature.

Now I am here in this crowd all alone

Now you are there and to you time has shown.

That it is where we belong

Even though it feels so wrong.

It is clear to me that the love that once was

Is now nowhere to be found within me.

Yet there is a longing for you.

It may be true that lovers cannot be friends,

But what if they aren't lovers anymore?

Does there have to be animosity till the beating of our heart ends.

Your place is as pristine as it ever was,

Just on it a different light falls.

You may not think of me nor I of you for those 3AM calls,

Yet in the happiest moments when all my closest friends are at my side,

I look for your face within frames on my walls.

I know you wonder of me, you know I wonder of you.

We may or may not have different people we love now.

But the arrival of one does not have to mean departure of the other.

Why do you make it so tough to stay friends,

When clearly our minds and hearts with each other perfectly blend.

You get me and I get you,

Then why rob ourselves of the peace, our hearts which can mend.

You may not be the most special person in my life

That position is now among many shared.

But make no mistake that your absence is felt at every strife

Your embrace is missed at every smile

Your shoulder is missed after every hard mile.

Let's not pretend that returning to a friendship will ever be easy

But it's not like this is any different.

That love isn't there in me and for all I know its the same for you,

But there is love, a different kind it may be

I think its enough to set us free.

So let go of the habit of the old

Its holding us back from being friends like shining gold.

Let go of the habit and getting used to of being together only in a certain way,

Let go of our egos so that we may see the light of a beautiful day.

Life is as short as the bend of a mountain river

Alone we will wither.

Come let's look out for each other

Deep down we still want the best for one another.

Over these years we have seen each other grow,

So why can't we help each other glow.

Our light will not fall on each other

Yet it will illuminate our life and help us come out of any low.

We still care,

Yet to be in each other's presence we cannot bear.

This is the conundrum of our lives

To have hearts with love and hands with knives.

Soon you will be a shadow in my mind

Soon the windows of my head will shut the blinds.

We may have lost love but why do we have to lose friendship

The most important boat in life is companionship.

Why do you spew venom on my days?

When we can sit together for a beer, talk about life and stargaze.

Yet to have a peace in your mind is also important.

To have a life with some consistency  and less extremes is also important

There is no point in putting each other through hell every second,

Its better to let this fade away right to the very end.

I wish you well and I wave goodbye to your image in my head

You're now nothing more than a memory from the past,

I do not miss our love,

Yet the happy images from our friendship will last.

Now you are a silhouette and nothing more,

Right until life's ocean washes you up to the shore

Right till our paths cross once more.

THE FRIEND INSIDE

As my eyes peered out of the glass

My mind wandered to lands of the past.

To the places I had been.

To the people I had seen.

Its a funny thing, life

One moment you seem to be cruising 

The other it could be a battle you are losing. 

You may have faced countless obstacles. 

But you know you got to keep moving.

A sun ray hits  your face.

Distracted, your thoughts slow their pace. 

Reflecting on where you are,

Pondering on where you are headed

I think You were on the right tram.

I think you are past the phase you dreaded. 

How can you feel down

When you know you've earned a crown.

Its such a beautiful feeling

When you see even the sun is setting 

Yet you are still rising.

You are above the clouds

Yet anxiousness you are symbolizing.

I think you are meant to soar

Don't you think it's about time you roar.

 A desert of salt

Covered by an azure ocean of blue.

It was like you were fresh out of the vault.

On you, the winter sun's yellow hue.

I think you are meant to soar

What about you?

So just keep your head up and ears open.

This time you have truly woken.

You are now an unstoppable force

Your spirit has taken you on a divine course.

Now there is no looking back

You are surely on the right track. 

It doesn't matter what they call it, white or black

If you believe in what you are doing

Just take their opinions and put them on the rack.

If ever in a moment of self doubt

Just snap out of that clout.

You navigate your own route

Of that never stop being proud.

Surely there will be moments where you are shaken

It will make you question the road you have taken.

But believe and your spirit will come to the fore

It will elevate you like never before.

Nothing teaches like adversity,

Don't run away from it

Face it with bravery,

Life's experience are full of diversity

Some moments could be alluring and others quite unsavory.

Learn from both

But never treat it as slavery.

Just follow your true calling

The outcome can never be appalling.

 As your aircraft begins to descend 

There is not much left to comprehend.

Your spirit needs no uplifting 

Its still in the air meandering.

Don't try and tame it

Never try to blame it.

It will never lead you astray

It takes self doubt out of the fray.

Once you touchdown

Don't be a bird that stays clung to the ground.

Don't be a bird without its wings

Your place is in the heavens

Your place is in the pantheon of kings.

So fly away my friend,

Fly to your mind's will

Its upto you to be an eagle or an hornbill.

So goodluck to you my friend.

I am with you on every bend 

I am with you till the end.

But don't keep me in the boot

I call shotgun on this journey

Together we can split the loot.

Don't turn a deaf year to me 

I am your spirit and I will make you free.

 As my eyes peered out of the glass

My mind wandered to lands of the past.

To the places I had been.

To the people I had seen.

WILDFIRE

Let’s put the world on fire.

Let’s try and never tire.

This world needs a mad love,

So let’s draw it with the colours from only our heart

Let the  picture burn so bright so the songs of our love are sung by every choir.

So that we light up the world for years even as we leave it ablaze on the pyre.

So get rid of your ghosts and stoke that wildfire.

It’s been said too many times,

Yet it never hits our minds.

We need to listen to the call of our heart especially in matters of the heart.

Get over your fear of being rejected,                    

move beyond the anxiety of being dejected.

There is a strange bliss in stating, to that special someone, what’s inside your heart, unadulterated.

There is a rare freedom in putting your love out there, for them to see it in its purest form.

Your words unfiltered, leaving you totally unprotected.

Its beautiful to be rid of "what if I tell them" or " it can't work out anyway for..."

For trust me, once you let out what’s inside even a rejection is positively infected.

So get rid of your ghost, for its no Casper and go stoke that wildfire.

Come come, begin again.

Its just a broken heart.

Have a little faith and let them in,

They don't have to be like the last one.

Let go of your previous baggage, it weighs more than a ton.

The world is your oyster and it’s your treasure.

So just because you didn't find the pearl once you don't have to turn around and run.

So get rid of your ghosts and put yourself out there for you are not done.

So put yourself out there and let sparks fly and that will stoke your wildfire.

There is no bigger tragedy than living a life wondering 'what if?'

There is someone out there just waiting for the right moment to jump off that cliff.

Waiting for you to open your heart, to open your arms, so that they jump straight into your embrace.

Too many people have given up on love because they have been hurt too many times.

They replaced it with this notion of practicality.

But since when did love have anything to do with that, it's about vitality.

It's got nothing to do with practicality but more with brutality.

It's a matter of the heart, its a matter of morality and mortality.

Maybe it ends the same way, maybe its the same old reality.

But unless you go all out with your feelings not wondering about the consequence.

Unless you say how feel as you feel it, how can you know in totality.

So get rid of your ghosts and just trust gravity.

So get rid of your ghosts and go stoke that wildfire.

For a lot of people the heart faced one bad storm and is now forever shrouded in winter.

Little do you know that someone out there is just your splinter.

They will cut through the snows of heartbreak and make you glitter.

They will melt away the pain and everything bitter.

Don't face away from the summer sun and deprive yourself of the love you deserve.

Don't let anyone kill your magnificent verve.

Bask in the sunlight and be your own knight.

Let the rain come and wash away all the wrong

Let that person come and write you  a new song .

So get rid of your ghosts like Bilbo Baggins from the shire.

So get rid of your ghosts and go stoke that wildfire.

Home is where the heart is.

But the heart is where there is love.

Home in the valley, home in the city.

Without love home isn’t pretty.

You have one life,

Don’t waste it busy in strife.

Go find that someone who burns for you

The person who always yearns for you.

So get rid of your ghosts and go stoke that wildfire.

Go out there and be naive.

Go out there with your heart on your sleeve.

Open up your heart and have faith,

It does not matter if it’s your first time or your eighth.

There is someone out there who will give you butterflies,

If you don’t open up though they will remain a caterpillar forever waiting to go into their cocoon.

You don’t realize it now but they could be your biggest boon.

If you don’t know the person how can you conclude that it’s not meant to be

Maybe they are just the seed you need for your garden’s tree.

So get rid of your ghosts, not everyone is a liar.

So get rid of your ghosts and stoke that wildfire.

So come give me a chance.

So  come, let our hearts dance.

Together we could be full of light,

Two fireflies heading out into the dark night.

The empty streets of our hearts we can illuminate,

So come, come and let the path be guided by fate.

Oh darling, don’t give up on love just when I have reached you.

I was caught up in the traffic of my misfortunes or I surely would have breached you.

For how can it be fortunate that life kept me away,

From a simple look at you so that I could walk up and just say ‘hey.’

So come and let’s forget about what will happen.

So come and let’s stop the lonely hand clappin.

So get rid of your ghosts and forget about the consequences, both great and dire.

So get rid of your ghosts and stoke that wildfire.
