Endless roads..

These endless roads, they go no where
But at least they take me here and there
These endless roads, they go on and on
They’ll still be here when we’re all gone

I take a trip down those narrow lanes
Stop and stare, through window panes
When I look at a mirror I see your face
Nothing’s too strange in this magic haze.

I see what I want, I guess we all do
I do what I want, I know you do to
But where does this go, does it ever end
Broken vows are hard to mend
Just like broken dreams….
And so my soul screams.

These endless roads, they go no where
but I’m here now and so I don’t care
These endless roads, they will never stop
The worlds my bike and I’m on top


I’m the road, the road becomes me
Exploring the world and some fantasy
A bit of real, and little of fake
Wandering on for wandering’s sake.


You know I’ve walked these roads before
Kept on walking till my feet were sore
And then when I could walk no more
I just unzipped the skin I wore.
And my soul ran on…
Although I was gone.

These endless roads, they go no where
But at least they take me here and there
These endless roads, they go on and on
They’ll still be here when we’re all gone

When God's attack!!

WHEN GOD’S ATTACK

- Garima Bhatt

Can I throw up my hands and surrender?

Must I endure these spiteful flames?

Are these the fires that harden rough coal?

And roast it into a precious jewel

Or is it merely the fury that hell emanates?

To test a soldiers fortitude?

Isolation.. then constant collisions

Getting minced between when and now

Good intentions, your constant suggestion

Can you please stop telling me how….how!!

Your shifty eyes conceal something sinister

Your awkward smile can barely hide

The ever so glorious smirk of pride

The haunting whispers, behind my back

There’s nowhere to hide when God’s attack!

I know you feel like a mighty defeater

But reason should have taught you better

The phoenix singes into delightful flames

Into a lifeless grey from scarlet red.

But no sooner than you turn your head

I shall rise again from this humble dust

In greater glory and blinding light

Kneel and pray, if you must

I’m ready to face a fiercer fight.
