The deceitful album

I open the dust covered album to relive the time we spent
Too blind to see, time changed you my friend

How close we were
How much merrier

From then to now
What happened and how

Let bygones be bygones
Let us unturn the stones

Not once not twice
With every dice

The album deceives me
With every photo I see

I once again put out my hand to grab you
But that memory was just a dew

You slip through my hand
Like the dessert sand

You were there, believe me
I was there, believe me
The photo is telling our story remember
But life is a river and the memory is a drop of water

 I forget that very often
 That album becomes a burden

Only thing I can say
I knew that drop once
We swam together for hours at end
But now it's time to say adiós my friend

Naive Longing

The heart, it longs for the moon,
while it has the earth for its own..

Little does it know the barren moon,
stole its shine from the sun..

While the earth silently carries the wonders of life in its womb.

My Story

Is my story my cover
or the lenses that passed over?

Is it the entire book
or just the last page my bearer?

Fleeting in all this, is a soul that you missed to see
it's in none of these and yet it defines me

-Darshana

On the bright side

As the days slide
I cant help but ponder
was there a bright side
I often wonder

Is it still to come
or has it faded away
If life is just ups an downs
then in the end what matters is where your story ends

-Darshana
