Flight

As the moon shines bright

My heart stirs in fright 

Tomorrow brings with it a new fight 

But hope will set everything right 

Going away from me in a flight 

My heart does so clench tight 

Look on does my mind in might 

Fly alongside her does my heart as a kite 

Eventually our paths change left and right 

Disappear does she from my sight 

But I smile for everyone to see bright

Looking at the dawn looking for light

Dark

Bound by the shackles I created 

Doomed to carry them forever 

A lone man, a sad soul cheated

Out of rebirth, repentance however 

Disappear does many chains once linked 

One day free I shall be whensoever 

That happens it shall be as fated 

Not to repeat the same mistakes whatsoever 

To be pure, the void much awaited

The Rain Man

I saw you on that fine morning, sitting below that tree, all alone.
I came to you, talked to you. You were glad to make a new friend... Me too.
Then I started feeling something, something I tried to control. Maybe you noticed it... Maybe you didn't.
You play along... Then you feign interest. Then you drop your bag of insecurities on me and run away.
I'm left alone, standing in this rain, holding your baggage . And I see your shadow, far away, under an umbrella.
As I move closer, I see another shape with you under the umbrella. And you turn and tell me... 'Keep the baggage' and walk away.

Shadow

Even as the shadow follows me

Into eternal doom as we walk together

Leave me, she shall the moment

The illuminating light disappears forever

Yet why is it that she considers me her own

Even when she knows that it is for naught

Seperate we will and must,

further pain to cause for her

Is it for loyalty to me she walks with me

And weep blood for me when I part

And what shall I consider of her

When I shall have to leave her in the light

For without one the other may die in sorrow

Yet sorrow is all we have in this happy world

O my Shadow, you complete my shattered profile

forever a memory in my mind, she who stood for me.

Ideal

Slowly, like a doom machine, it falls on me
Filled to the brim with a goo unknown to me
Shaped like the ideal human mould
The goo fills me at first as a liquid would
Then slowly, as the liquid dries out I can feel the force
Pressing on me from everywhere, to form an ideal work horse
Pushing out the me from me, like a task
Replacing me with nothing but an empty mask.

-Sachin Nath

The Man in The Shadows

I am not meant to leave these shadows my child
I am not meant to leave these shadows my child
Forever thrown into the darkness of whatever hell was chosen for him
Forever in the shadow of whatever great man has come before him
In chains, hidden as a rabid monster might be from light
In chains, same as Hyde was kept hidden by Jekyll from light.

- Sachin Nath

The Bull

As the shadows creep upon me
I see nothing behind me
The road ahead is lit like day
But I can't seem to find my way
Sudden as rain I am in chains
My hands, my neck and my body in pain
Driven as a bull by one after other
Always free from one to only reach another
One day finally I shall reach the end of this road
Only to understand that all I did was carry another's load.
