ESCAPING THE BLINDFOLDED ILLUSIONS

I’m trying to get over;
I’m trying to run away,
I’m trying to hide n` I’m trying to sway
Get my mind to cast away

From the blindfolded illusions
Of Life
From the heartfelt delusions
Of Life

If only I could know where
There’s someone there
For me to trust ‘n’ for me to care
Will they hide?
When I’m finally there,
So I’m trying to confide ‘n’
I’m trying to shield my soul

From the blindfolded illusions of life
From heartfelt delusions of life

It keeps chasing me
I ain`t know a place to run
Feels like someone
In the noon desert sun
Keep on wondering
Till I realize
I’m the one CHASIN `n`
The one following

The blindfolded illusions of life
The heartfelt delusions of life

My life is a quest
To shield the
Innocence in my soul
`N` let it free to
Gleam as the sun
When it beams
Through the blue skies
`N` keeps away the grey
That shades it with
The blindfolded illusions of life
The heartfelt delusions of life

THE FATE OF THE VANISHED TIMES

I was around
To witness the seas dead
When
The chirpy living things had fled
The horizon too did fade
The sky burned itself until
It was left red

I was left with
Shivers to see
A land of dunes and stones
As the desolate wind moaned
For the hordes of discarded bones
Who had settled in
Their makeshift graves
Where their jaded feet
Were compelled to lay

I’m hoping to stay alive
Through the tides of time
To aid the prevailing minds
Stuck on the crossroads `n`
Bail them out from
The fate of the vanished times
I have seen before

RUNNIN AWAY FROM THE DARK !!!

He lights up his nights
& he lights up the skies
He lights up the world that he sees
But he keeps telling me things
I just can’t bet for or
I could believe
He says he can’t see
The spilled over beams
From the downtown halls
That reveal
The deprived who
Loiter across sidewalks

He can’t hear he says
The thirsty moans
He can’t see he says
The starved faces
That lay a few paces from his urbane cart
That he uses to
Run away from the dark

He returns back indoors
As the night falls
Secure and safe behind his doors,
On his well sheltered floors and well lit halls
I believe
He wants to conceal
From the misery he sees
& the agony that consumes his brains
From not very far

He locks himself in
Once again
Shying away from the dark

He loves to see his terraces sparkle and shine
With lanterns & chandeliers lined
But I am dumbfound to see him so cold
To the torches that burn
Among the shivering souls
Across on the roads
He’s back in `n` we can’t stop him
Running away from the dark
