The Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Walking down this lonely road
With me and me lonesomeness
Remembering a similar song
Of a Man haunted by his loneliness.


A sea of humanity passes by
Yet it seems I forget to see
All but this boulevard ahead
All but the shattered dreams and a shattered me.


All I see is a shadow beside me
Telling me of things I should have been
Weighing down on my burdened soul
The names of dreams I could have seen.


I counsel the wary heart
I pacify the fading soul
For past the storms we must wade
'Ere we reach our goal.


And thus I continue to walk.
Along the boulevard.
All of me and my shattered dreams.
And my shadow walking beside me.






P.S. : This is not an attempt of plagiarizing :). I have merely used the song as an inspiration around which to crystallize my thoughts.

Conflicts of a Broken Mind

“And let there be light!” he said. Thus I believe the universe was heralded; in the glow of divine flash bulb. Tiny embers must have rolled out of the heavenly bonfire, and strange devices they would seem, bellowing off steam for their very existence; oddly reminiscent of certain noxious humans which were to come several ages thence. Tiny as they were, these devices conceived even tinier contraptions. Innocuous and gullible, a little Earth must have wiggled in the radiance of its mother. Since then life surged; and has never ceased to stop. Life goes along its path, never meaning to stop. Ever so nimble, yet so staunch. It commands its minions in an endless march, moving meticulously with the beat of time. Hitherto, when a new life is born, it chases after the splendor of a butterfly. Alluring and irresistible, the wings of creativity threaten to stray this diminutive mouse from the piper’s entourage. Or does it? Cold and harsh hands tug him along the predestined path, impassive eye...

The Fight

In the dusty roads of life, The heart searches for a friend. In the lonely walks of love, The soul longs for a companion. The darkness of the skies, Dampen the once high spirits. The dreary clouds, Crush the mind's lingering hope. The light that awaits me, Seems to flicker at the distance. And the tunnel seems to stretch, Without an end. Though my legs lack the strength, My sinews carry on the fight. Though my heart has given up, My blood flows hot.

College days

I try and I try to forget The days of my youth But the memories of the innocence Keep slipping my grasp The days spent wondering Of things we could become The nights spent complaining Of girls we couldn't court The months in the heat Roaming aimlessly tween the corridors The moments we huddled In the winter's cold I miss the shoulders That I'd taken for granted I miss the bonds That I believed would never break The green grass The empty class The broken heart The cold hearth They all remind me Of the best days of my life Of the days spent free of strife Of friends and promises Made between brothers
