Verse from a Bollywood Love Song

O mera sona
Our prem kahani is so bizarre
Started with ek hi nazar
Then - arey re arey - kya hua!

Falling In Bollywood Love

Dillagi
That I feel each day
Turned my heart to papier-mâché
If I’m crazy
Dil to pagal hai!

Saathiya
Oh my mahive
I can’t help it, try as I may
This I tell you –
Kuch kuch hota hai!

My kiran
Of the rising dawn
You’ve made my heart so woebegone
Tell me, bolo na
Hum aapke hain kaun?

Light of mine
Mehboob mere
You deny me to my dismay
Tell me the truth –
Kaho na … pyaar hai!

I See You

I see you
I behold a beauty most fragile
I glimpse of a will most tenacious
I see a Fate most unfeeling

I see you
The very first time a chance encounter
Dimpled smile and friendly eyes
Such warmth, such joy, such life

I see you
But you never saw me
Dimpled smile and friendly eyes
They were never meant for me

I see you
Smiling, laughing, living
Such warmth, such joy, such life
I wished you would share with me

I see you
Your beauty, your joy, your life
They would not let me otherwise
They rendered me a silent captive

I see you
I had always wished for courage
I had always wished for words
I will always wish for you

I see you
Today I have the courage
Today the words have come to me
Today I see you

I see you
Today I see you
Today I see you, separated by that damn piece of glass
Today I see you, so close yet so far

I see you
Today I stand before you
Your eyes are opened but you don’t see me
I speak to you but will you hear me?

I see you
Today I behold a beauty most fragile
Today I glimpse of a will most tenacious
Today I see a Fate most unfeeling

I see you
Dimpled smile and friendly eyes
Such warmth, such joy, such life
I am too late for them

I see you
ICU
A life most fragile
No warmth, no joy, no laughter

I see you
Today in ICU
Separated by that damn piece of glass
So close yet so far

I see you
So close yet so far
Too late
Too late

Me And My Imagination

so i sit here
all alone
just me and my imagination
just me and my mind

i wish for wings
i wish to fly
just me and my imagination
just me and my mind

will you fly with me
or will you decline
me and my imagination
me and my mind

come for the ride
if you’re so inclined
with me and my imagination
with me and my mind

i wish for wings
i wish to fly
just me and my imagination
just me and my mind
