Forsaken Dreams.....
by Mahesh Sindbandge


Why do I feel,
so out of place.
why have I been called,
a family's disgrace.

I may never see beyond,
what they blindly accuse.
with time flying by,
am drowning in my blues.

Lying on my couch,
I felt all alone.
wish someone can hear,
and see me, moan.

urging birds inside me,
to sing and fly.
for they are strong,
but embarrassed and shy.

Resting on the window,
gazing across the fields.
caught sight of a bird ,
emerging from the shields.

It was full of life,
in clouds so high.
thought for a while,
dreaming once to fly.

where will you go,
the shadows asked.
I recognized the demon,
though he was masked.

After waiting for ages,
I got prepared to say it.
I knew it was coming,
time for my aces to lay it.

How long will you hide,
came the question from inside.
"No more! not any more",
I said, having my eyes dried.

letting my spirits fly,
higher in the blue sky.
battled my demons,
going past,while they die.

I am no longer forsaken,
from the dreams I dreamed.
"hope is food for next moment",
across the fields I beamed.

passion is always there,
just have to look around.
you will see the light,
that is intensely profound.

I appeal to you,
deep from the heart.
listen to my say,
before you depart.

I like Romeo,
cuz i am born like that.
Juliet has no place,
in my story from start.
