There's Beatles for you

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Nothings gonna change my world.
Nothings gonna change my world.

I'm there somewhere

Alas its over. The most eventful year in my life till now. A lot happened. My first film as a music composer was released and by God's grace it's still doing very well. It was followed by my second film. Souls were released My Amma(grand'ma) who was suffering for a decade almost, passed way. My Appa (maternal grand'pa) who suffered a lot too passed away. The two gentle souls were relieved of the pain and suffering. My first album as a singer/songwriter was released this october.
My dog 'Mokai' passed away a few hours ago.
I do feel sad to lose my close ones but again it has made me realize some truths and made me look at death positively. I completed one year with the best person in my life. We went through a lot but am so proud to have her by my side always. This year made me realize true love will always exist. It's how we percieve it. This year has gaiven me moments that I'll always cherish as memories. It gave me confidence to stick on and never give up. It made me realize 'never is the time to say enough is enough'. It taught me that sorry is never the hardest word.
"All I can do is be me. Whoever that is"

It happened one night

there's a patch of grey on my blue sky
How i longed for the winter chills on grey afternoons...
suddenly,
time is out of mind
time didn't wanna move
time crouched round the corner, wicked
time stopped whispering
time was not on my side for that moment
time drew the path to the spiders nest
time cudn't strum
time was shocked at those questions
time felt sorry
time felt fragile
this time, it was not on my side
time was tampered with
time is hurt
time wept...
someone tampered with our blue confetti's
time is a lone thread still withstanding the lashings
time is you and me in our crazy reality
time can't forget the notebooks and promises
time come and take our pain away

If not for Boo!

If not for you,
Babe, I couldn't find the door,
Couldn't even see the floor,
I'd be sad and blue,
If not for you.

If not for you,
Babe, I'd lay awake all night,
Wait for the mornin' light
To shine in through,
But it would not be new,
If not for you.

If not for you
My sky would fall,
Rain would gather too.
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all,
Oh! What would I do
If not for you.

If not for you,
Winter would have no spring,
Couldn't hear the robin sing,
I just wouldn't have a clue,
Anyway it wouldn't ring true,
If not for you.

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
