I need an answer

hey
you in there,
there within me,
do you know me?
you do? okay then,
tell me,
What am i doing?
where am i going?
whose shadow am i faking?
whose soul am i carrying?
whose steps am i tracing?
am i moving,
or am i receding?
tell me,
what am i doing?
with whom am i talking?
to whom am i listening?
for whom am i feeling?
for whom am i wishing?
am i living,
or am i dying?
tell me,
what am i doing?
what am i learning?
what am i forgetting?
disaster,am i inviting?
is the devil calling?
am i sleeping,
or am i not hearing?
tell me,
what am i doing?
tell me, tell me, tell me,
I want to live now,
i want to know,
so,
you in there,
tell me, tell me, tell me.

Conversations with hunger

Hunger why you trouble me again,
see I have no penny to buy even a grain!
My body doesn’t ache now, nor it pains,
distant are the sounds of those passing trains.

My eyes will never weave a newer dream,
‘cause the last time I woke up in a scream.

My hands will never hold a fountain pen,
millions of them have lost to swords just ten.

My legs will never run a second race,
‘cause I can’t see with blood on my face.

What do I do now my pile of books?
How can I write with my flesh on the hooks?

This road has bumps and ups and downs,
and blisters have said no to any new wounds.

Money always rules and poverty serves,
I sweat my blood out but who observes?

Hunger will you trouble me again?
Still I have no penny to buy even a grain.
My body doesn’t bleed now, just it pains,
and tomorrow I’ll be tied to heavier chains!

When Love Rained !!!!!!!!

The summer sky, lost its glaring sun,
those sweet winds started having fun,
then and there,my heart said-Run,Run,Run!
And I ran towards my love!

The dark clouds suddenly thundered,
and a flash of angry lightening roared,
my heart skipped, and my hands searched,
And there! she smiled and held my hand!

Ilooked into her eyes and I could see no more,
of our love, they said a lot, she was so sure,
we heard our hearts speak that this love is true, is pure!
I reached out for her and took her in my embrace.

We, in each others arms, felt that heaven was then and there.
Nothing is all you need when your love is near,
all ghosts of past vanish, there is nothin' to fear.
Its a whole new world that we together share.

Then came the rains, the blessings of God,
we smiled and got sodden in the heavenly accord.
For bringing us together, we could only thank the lord,
But alas i'd not miss a second of her company!

So come roaring O clouds! O thunder! O rains!
Our love will not move,lovers are happily insane!
