Promise

When I am feeling lonely I will think of you

Think of all the promises that I gave you

Need some time to do all the promises I made

Surely, I will do all those promises I made

I’ll never make you feel sad

It’s difficult to fulfill all the promises I know

I know how deeply you trust all my words

Though it might be hard for me, darling you must know

I might have to fight my own demons to keep words

Darling but I promise you that I’ll keep my words

All I want to do is to tell you my darling

Trust my words for now.

When I am feeling lonely, I will think of you

Think of all the promises that I gave you

Need some time to do all the promises I made

Surely, I will do all those promises I made

I’ll never make you feel sad

This is a song I composed to play in guitar. Me and my nephew Varun Rajesh played it and uploaded in YouTube in 2019.

Conversation with God

In my countless silent

conversations with my friend

the almighty god

i had asked him a million times

or perhaps more

oh dear god

with all those precious gifts

you have bestowed us

in this beautiful universe

why have you mixed miseries.

heartbreaks and sufferings

why do you want your creations

to suffer and endure pains

beg to you to sail

through a tempestuous life.

whenever I ask this

he will only smile at me

and look at my head

as if he is looking for

signs of grey hair

he would vanish without

answering my question.

now that i am getting old

and few streaks of white hair

have appeared on my head

i start to understand a bit

the answer to my question

though I am not there fully yet

just like the night and day

complement each other

our search for happiness

becomes meaningful only when

happiness can co exist with

pains and heartbreaks’.
