Lekin

Hearing Lekin for the thousandth time!! Why did Lata Mangeshkar continue to sing commercially after this!!??

Can anyone in this world, including her, ever beat Lekin???

Chasms

If you fail to see me
The way I want to be seen
Should I not just go
Away from you?

Its not in shame that I hide
Neither is it in regret
It is just that I choose not to
Accept the winds of change

The change was not your doing
Neither was it mine
It came just as was planned
It destroyed what it should

Now what's the point in holding
The carcass of illusions
The things that were never there
The invisible words I read?

I know no middle ground
Not between you and me
I prefer the world of chasms
With you or alone, across

I retrace my footsteps
And find the same corners
Where the same questions
Stare at me agape
Then there are some new ones
Which I now bring back
And the quest haunts me
Some more
Where did I go and why?
How long have I been away?
Nothing has changed
Yet nothing is the same
The girl that went away
Is so much different
Than the woman who came back

Flames

He lauded her
For dousing the flames
Once again

She asked him what
She should do with those
That remain

He let go of her hands
And walked away
Smiling

She stayed behind
And saw their shadows
Burning
