Rock n' Roll Doggie
I had posted part of this poem 1 year or so back. Now I think its complete. I am unable to find the original thread. So posting the completed version in a separate thread.

everything fades away,
my luck slides away
but if you forget me,
dont forget me too soon .
i'm a loser but
I am different from everybody else
if choices belonged to me
about what i forgot and what i kept,
you would never have felt
the need for this request
but until we're close
we'll walk side by side,
innoncently ignoring the fact
we're on parallel lines.
if i only could think like you
if i could see what you see
i should have known this
this life is too complex to be known
parallel lines never meet
but i'm glad they will never go apart
they are like two shores
from the mountains to the sea
you are so optimistic that
it worries me,
will you be able to handle it
when reality kicks in?
i don't want to open my eyes either
when dreams are in sight
refuse to believe we are scared
to admit what's wrong and what's right
life is walking on that street
without realising there is no coming back
honesty is a dangerous pratice
its better to deceive at times
but you havent learnt that art
and i am yet to improve that skill
i was getting lost, you pulled me out
now i can steal whatever i want
this one-way street might throw
some surprises during time
the steps are likely to disappear
slowly as you climb.
i do not deserve your praises,
in times of need i might be hard to find
will you blame me if you turn around
and do not see me walking behind?
i may be on wrong path
but you never know till you've walked through
you cant take back what you already gave
yes i know it will come someday
my luck unfolds - you see it slip away
but i'll keep the promise i never made
you say you said it all
and i am yet to introduce myself
i wish i could see things like you
from your positiveness i could learn
think of the good that lies ahead instead
of the problems after each turn.
we are so similar and still
differences lie between you and me
faced with a closed door, i'd turn back
whereas you would search for a key.
breaking a dream for something real
is not what i will dream of doing
they say i sleep a lot
i havent found something waking up for
one day, yes..one day i will realise
how a silly way of living life it was
you only know what i tell you
and when i tell you, i hope i tell it right
i want to tell you not to worry,
about what impression you will create.
if something has to happen, it will
its all down to fate.
waste is coming off my fingers right now
my thoughts and words don't seem to meet,
you may ignore today's contribution,
as there is more poetry on a blank sheet.
i think i said more than i was supposed to say
but i had no other way
surrounded by the vast seas
trapped between the machines
all remote-controlled and all artificial
we live an automatic life - all superficial
this human race is weird
something only he can understand
curiosity kills
and death comes too soon
don't wonder about the unknown
he's not even going to give a clue.
time will bring the solutions
automatically to your door,
nothing can ever be found
when its deliberately searched for.
nothing changes within me or around
he exhausted all surprises for me
a quiet life around
full of silence and comfort
but theres yellow skyline in the desert
someone's son - yours or mine
i think sometimes
and get back to my way
see the good in every thing
thats the only way to keep going
if u've accepted what u've got
he'll laugh and keep the problems coming.
i can see no logic sometimes,
and no one even bothers to explain
questions explode in my mind
and as usual the fustration remains.
i wish you'd hurt me
just to check if i'm still alive
but its done all so right
and its done without a fight
the truth dissolves in my silence
they (just) conclude what they (can) see.
sunshine caused him nose bleed
and shade made me cold and dry
sometimes i wonder what it is
that you are saying
are there any hidden signs
or is everything for the taking?
i can build my sentences
with the definitions ready made,
its up to you though, to find
the meanings before they fade.
its the last chance to evacuate
the planet before it arrives
wipe those tears before
wearing a real fake smile
and when its laughing time
join in with a hysterical laugh
when the whole world will subside
the questions would still remain
today i don't know what to write
7 to go and so little time,
thoughts are blank, plus
i've lost all sense of....rhyme.
before lines came so easily
now they're not even in sight,
i said it once, i'll say it again
today i don't know what to write.
compulsion is the enemy of emotion
lesser the feeling, lesser the pain
if you think its overs, they'll do again
i lost - its you who made all the gain
have you heard what they say on news
theres someone out for you and me.
lets surrender meekly or else
we will be defeated at ease
denial is more my style
so why the need to surrender
if they are able to attack
i can be your defender.
keep walking oblivious
of what goes on elsewhere,
head held high, feet on the ground
dreams in the air.
Someday my feet would feel no pain
Rebellion against dictatorship of brain
Let me run till that day
Run safe into a heart with a broken door
Something wrong in my head - i try
You cant change the gears - thats why
Watch out for sinners when I drive
Because this is my crazy little car
let me be the first to ride
with you in your car.
lock the doors, close the windows,
anything to hide my scar.
its become too deep anyway,
eating me up with guilt.
it wrote all over my hopes
and wrecked the dreams i'd built.
let the truth in fantasy remain
i am the reality in this virtuality
someday i will hijack a plane
And crash land it near your door
It would be my war
And there would be no scars
Only way to wake up at your place
After sleeping the dream here
your contradictions bring smiles
on days when they are needed
instead would you show me the end
if i really really pleaded.
beacuse smiles are temporary
they only cause despair
i'd rather the truth was known
no matter how hard it was to bear.
