Incorruptible

I have a question

Maybe two

Maybe a little more than a few

What makes it so offensive to

Keep in touch with your childish side?

Wanting no rules to abide?

Yelling while going down the slide?

Claiming something that isn’t mine

Running around knowing everything will be fine

Cry when I feel like crying

Make up stories mom ain’t buying

Don’t judge me

Cause I won’t share my ice-cream with you

Won’t finish it without spilling a few

Scatter my stuff and disappear from your view

Then, please don’t raise a hue

This world ain’t fair to the grownups and the mature,

I choose to be a kid, be innocent, be pure

Is there no one to tend to your needs and fulfill your whims

Here’s an idea get yourself a jungle-gym.

That clandestine cause

It took us time to make a memory
But stumbling though we did get there
We might have not been children as we climbed the tree
In the dead of the night however, we found our lair

It felt so surreal, the time paused
To arrest that clandestine cause
Under the dim moonlight the vows we took
Unabashed the tales that cooked

No inhibitions
Just careless decisions
Being nocturnal, abjuring routines
Vagabonds claiming to be kings and queens

Matters of the world seemed peripheral
The night was our absinthe
On the clouds, black and immoral
A mere silver glint

We might be over and done with it now
But this feeling nags me somehow
A moment as such would go down in the archives
As an unforgettable part of our lives

Life on hold

Volumes of stories yet untold

    Millions of secrets to unfold

    So many shoulders hostile and cold

    So many lives put on hold

   Unnoticed tears no more escape the eye

   Heart full of pain faces deny

   So many feelings bought and sold

   So many lives put on hold

   Soul that trapped the grief inside

   Is nothing but a leaf that dried

   Such is the saying by the wise and old

   Go tell them; in a world where

   They assassinate the bold

   Life is cheaper than gold

   To commit crime, children’s mind they mould

   SO MANY LIVES ARE STILL PUT ON HOLD
