Memory Lane is Closed !!

I wanted to write on this topic and then i came across this and it was so perfect that didnt needed to be touched upon ... like few things :-)



"Don't you just take the past and put it in a room in a basement and lock the door and never go in there? That's what I do, And then you meet someone special and all you want to do is to toss them the key and say; open up, step inside, but you can't, because it's dark, There's demons and if anybody saw how ugly it is. I keep wanted to do that, fling the door open just let light in and clean everything out."

Within The Measure Of A Day

Neck and head grew a margin of art,
gasping for more, i was left broken heart
Hands on the waist gave birth to a ward,
stupidity lead me hanging at courtyard

When you think you got it all,
a pebble on the street can make you fall
After being blinded by light,
we just left cutting through the dark

I was confused, looked around in blue,
found myself standing there in queue
With, a new life, but old memories,
not knowing, what to do

May be its end, means were other
uninhibited, and the day was over !

The Long Day Is Over ....

Earth was rotating, clock ticked perfectly right
Day seemed so long, though world was a usual sight

A girl came to my shop, wanted to buy a life
for that she was even willing to bribe
but she got it all, didn't knew that knack
It's just she wanted it in a different pack

I looked hard, for her, but couldn't find
she frowned and laughed at this, appeared to be kind
efforts went in vain, as she held me bane

when she went, part of me died but relived again
i must thank her for, that i learnt to feel sorrow and pain

neither want to damage, nor to delve
now, gloom is gone sky is silver
hey troubadour, trust, the long day is over ...
