Quantum Dice in a Game of Souls


 On the much vaunted path of life
       some hopes linger, some dreams die
and we keep on shuffling past.

Sometimes, truth peeks through the veil
       footsteps falter, courage fail
and we have just two ways to cope

Keep hold the sanity and deny
       the terrible truth beneath blue sky
or take your shot, and risk it all.

It's a casino few get invite
        let alone play, or roll a dice
After all, your sanity's on the line.

Just remember this thing hoss
       there's no winner, we're all at loss
this game is rigged, make no mistake.

Free will, it's just a ghost
       this road's straight, few turns at most
He's duped us all, or so it seems.

Well quantum says, haven't you learnt
       you have both taken, and left the turn
And God is hidden in details.

So plod on, don't despair
       we're puppets in the claws of players
And they have just left the Game.

Lost & Found


I've wandered for a thousand years

searching for something I can't comprehend

Somehow, somewhere I lost

a piece of me.


I don't know what it was

I don't know what it means

But I feel I'm missing something,

Something that'll complete me.


maybe it's a futile quest

maybe it's all a mirage

maybe I'm meant to be this thirsty

a cruel joke of fate, it seems.


this yearning drives all my actions

a puppet master pulling my strings

everything I do, somehow i feel

has a hidden meaning


look me on surface and all's well

life's going on it's tracks

but there are hidden currents beneath the road

currents which have will'o themselves.


I'll not fight these currents; no, never

I'll go with the flow, the way I've always done

so I continue the wanderings unabated

till the strings of this life's come undone.


it's not a quest for some earthy prize

yearning for eternal salvation nor

cause if I find the end of rainbow

then what's left there in life to live for.


it's the wanderlust that defines me, in no uncertain terms

my anchor against the ravages of reality

I've found it and embraced it

and it'll guide me to nowhere till eternity.
