Welcome

Tomorrow alas the sun will rise,
Birds be chirpy, weather be wise

Feelings unempty, happiness not in disguise
Wherever he is, my heart lies

As eyes open, heart will pound
Did I see you or hear your sound?

A wait so long, an ache so deep
Days of loneliness, nights of weep

On the road to destiny left alone
Eyes so sad, heart to mourn

In dark dusk I seem engulfed
Want night to end, silence the emotions flood

The bright dawn arrived
Life unsettled, changed sides

Overcame the time’s tide,
Smile appears, tears dried

End gloomy nights, sunny days tweet
Welcome, make me complete

I Am Alone

Take me home, I say who hears?
Give me existence, shatter my fears

Fight for these for me is the same,
Home, family or even a name

No hands to wipe my tears
For bedtime stories yearn my ears

No eyes waiting when I’ll be home
No search, no worry where I roam

At dusk when I fear and close eyes
Can’t see a hand caressing my sighs

In dark, when scary thoughts occupy
Eyes seek all, nears and passer by

Must have harmed him or hit her in last life
So this time He gave me a ‘name’less, ‘dear’less life

I don’t have him who will guide, nor she who will care
Neither he or she who can pair up with me for all play

I am ready for his rebukes, will follow all her advice
Even lose in all games to him or her, be a loser not wise

But please take me home, I say who hears?
Give me an existence, shatter my fears

I aspire nothing else, won’t bother anymore
Please make me ‘your’ child, will wish for blessings from the core

Voices Unheard Still

What if you cannot speak, I will lend you my voice
Speak as you never spoke, get up and rise

When you are born you cry, we rejoice
Now you cry, we suppress your voice

A day very fast and moving
For you it is a pain, no hand for soothing

Be it menial, be it hard
How they push you, force you my ward

Can’t breathe, can’t speak but hands do work
Who cares you are dead in this murk

Serving, nailing, ploughing all deed
We can’t do these, you do still a weed

Beg, borrow, steal and you will be frayed
Ask for an earned wage, but you won’t be paid

Dying of hunger, no food no fun
Life is there to catch you, how far you may run

All and sundry, punish the same
What sin you committed, in God’s name

I wish all these voices unheard,
Sometimes be listened, slowly word by word

They cannot speak but eyes don’t lie
The only question they ask is WHY?

Expressions plenty, feelings galore
Offer a hand, they do not ask for more

No charity or sympathy, only empathise
May be some day, do not see tears in their eyes

A heart filling plea now follows
To lend your voice if they cannot speak their sorrows

Say, what if you cannot speak; I will lend you my voice
Speak as you never spoke get up and rise..
