poems from the yonder -2

THE DILEMMA

where lies redemption ,

where lies nemesis,
I know not ...


In the dark alleys
with dangling swords above ,
all company i had was a tune of solitude 
that lonely voice of melody .
crooning amidst the melancholy.


thoughts within dreams and
dreams within thoughts
I carried on
and NOW
there s a whole symphony out there waiting out for me

yet I fear the loss of my cheery tune of solitude ...

where lies happiness ,
where lies achievement ,
I know not ...


THE NOSTALGIA SHOP

excuse me ! is this what it is known to be ?
'yes sir ! its the "nostalgia shop" but nothing s free !'
oh! but i 've nothing to buy (and everything to lose )
rather am here to sell things to you
Memories !... some old , some new
some held tight in fright , some that keep me awake all night,
some with a whiff of the perfume of the past
some that were dreams that shone so bright
some with love -found and lost
all with some 'me' within 'them'.
'But why then ..?'
Because i am tired of seeing my tomorrow with yesterday s eyes.
