Abyss within
Religion of Love
..... your love
take me back
thirsty
.....where is it heading.....
Some times in my busy world,
between the parties and the assignments.
I stop to think about my life,
where is it heading, what am I doing.
The earthly knowledge that I am gaining,
how long will it serve me.
All these friends that I am making,
at what moment would they leave me.
What have I accomplished so far,
is my life any better than an animal.
What is the purpose of my creation,
is it living and dying for myself.
I am lost in the sea of humanity,
drifting with the flow, no direction in mind.
Is there anyone who could show me,
my destiny, the objective of my life.
Someone to guide me through the darkness,
of this shiny, glittering world.
Abyss within
I am falling into a yawning chasm,
to the depths of an incessant pit.
The voidness inside me is growing,
it has engulfed me in with its tentacles.
There is no light in this blackness,
the perpetual nadir is calling my name.
My soul is sinking in this Abyss within,
can anyone save me from my ignoble abode.
Can anyone save me from myself,
and lead me to solid ground, to daylight.
Can anyone show me my face, my soul,
explain to me the meaning of this hollow life.
Religion of Love
Your lonely wandering soul,
seeking peace in this world.
You were looking for placidity,
for yourself in this disturbed creation.
Your eternal quest for tranquility,
took you to temples and churches.
You even tried life of austerity,
away from the world, became an ascetic.
But your restless soul still craves serenity,
nothing you ran after brought you peace.
The religion you are looking for,
is the RELIGION of LOVE.
Love yourself, love the people around you,
Love will calm your traipsing soul.
God didn't create you to be alone,
the elusive calm is in this sea of humanity.
You don't need to look in the woods,
God is all around you, God is in your heart.
..... your love
wandering around for ages,
lost soul among the ruins.
I am tired, my soul so weary,
let me sleep in your arms.
one more drink, one more cup,
make this world go away.
get me drunk, thats all I ask,
cup-bearer, you promised me this.
I am wearing my best dress,
why don't you look at me.
I have not been faithful,
my weak self, always fails me.
but it is all your fault,
your love is what gets me high.
I am not responsible,
for what I do.
I am drifting without a sail,
but I am not afraid.
your love is around me,
your light engulfs me.
you have always said that,
you love me so much.
now prove your love to me,
pass the cup, forgive me.
take me back
I have been crying,
since you left me.
I felt so lonely,
so vulnerable, so empty.
I tried making new friends,
but nothing could replace you.
I made mistakes,
I ignored your presence.
I am not pure any more,
my soul is soiled with this world.
I am ashamed,
I can not face you.
may be that is why,
I do not want to meet you.
will you take me back,
let me merge with you again.
I have to join you,
you are my eternal abode.
come back in me,
let me absorb you.
thirsty
since I fell in love with you,
I have sold my self to you.
my soul is drowning in you,
still I am thirsty.
every pore in my body is drying up,
wanting a drink of you.
I am lying at your door,
give me hand, pick me up.
pull me near you,
give me a glass of wine.
let me soak in you,
let me lose my senses.
