It's 2AM the world's asleep And its stunningly quiet around Air conditioning and my heart beat Are the only audible sound My mind wakes up and stretches My imagination begins a feast The words and thoughts just keep flowing Like some angry wild beast I feel one with the universe With infinite energy flowing through my mind Creating fascinating fantasies and images I find otherwise difficult to find It's the best time of my existence Life's best moments for self realisation To do the things you crave for In your wild wild imagination It's your life so enjoy every bit It's melting away each moment Death is slowly coming your way To snatch you away and torment It's time to be the Buddha It's time to wake up your soul It's time to ask the universe To heal you and make you whole It's time to think, feel and introspect The meaning of our seemingly useless existence The agony and ecstacy that we undergo For this meaningless hu

I feel like the Bedouins of yore Exploring the hot sands of my heart Hungry and tired Looking for water to quench my eternal thirst Then I see you from far far away Like a beautiful rainbow on the colourful sky And coming my way Like a messiah, you fill me with so much joy it makes me cry I feel my prayers are answered You are all that I dreamed of and more I run to you ignoring my fatigue and The wounds of soul turned sore But you turn away Like a mirage playing tricks on my mind The sun of loneliness scorches on...

There are many who know you, The way I can only hope to know you some day But they will never see you with my eyes and the shades of you I see I love the way you eat and sip your beer I love the way you dress for business and still have pleasure. I love the way you paint your dreams And the way you colour your desires on canvas. I love the way you smile at life even when it dishes you pain and suffering. I love the knowledge that someday you will be big and important Someday you will rule the world Someday i might wait in a Que to catch a glimpse of you or may be we grow famous together I want to know you fully I want to hear your voice for life I want to see you smile every day As long as I'm alive I wish I could be with you forever Love you and feel loved in return Want to grow old holding hands together, The way we hold hands now I want to share a bed with you And make love to you all night Laugh and smile and love together With eyes full of pleasure and sm
