Dime of Friendship

As I turn and stare at my past
All I see is fog swirling fast

Even as I am hurtling towards my future
Unprepared I am as I was before this torture

As time and fate play cruel games
Distance gathers importance over frames

Staring into the unknown like a fool
Alone we are standing by the pool

Even if the fog makes sense over time
Without friends beside, would it be worth a dime?

Pawn

To forgive me is all I ask

While I take off my mask

Dare not scream at my face

I swear to never slow down the pace

In the dim light of dawn

A simple chess piece, a pawn

You have turned me into

A legendary in Kanto

Seen so rare in the light

But never hiding from a fight

Always afraid of history

Forever aware of the mystery

Even as the light reaches near

Scream you do in my ear

Never letting go of the pace

Staying inches away from my face

As everything around me starts to fade

Your voice remains as sharp as a blade

Echoing in my mind, my head, my soul

Forever paining me like a bullet hole.

- Sachin Nath
