Abyss within
Religion of Love
..... your love
take me back
thirsty
.....where is it heading.....
Some times in my busy world,
I stop to think about my life,
The earthly knowledge that I am gaining,
All these friends that I am making,
What have I accomplished so far,
What is the purpose of my creation,
I am lost in the sea of humanity,
Is there anyone who could show me,
Someone to guide me through the darkness,
Abyss within
I am falling into a yawning chasm,
The voidness inside me is growing,
There is no light in this blackness,
My soul is sinking in this Abyss within,
Can anyone save me from myself,
Can anyone show me my face, my soul,
Religion of Love
Your lonely wandering soul,
You were looking for placidity,
Your eternal quest for tranquility,
You even tried life of austerity,
But your restless soul still craves serenity,
The religion you are looking for,
Love yourself, love the people around you,
God didn't create you to be alone,
You don't need to look in the woods,
..... your love
wandering around for ages,
I am tired, my soul so weary,
one more drink, one more cup,
get me drunk, thats all I ask,
I am wearing my best dress,
I have not been faithful,
but it is all your fault,
I am not responsible,
I am drifting without a sail,
your love is around me,
you have always said that,
now prove your love to me,
take me back
I have been crying,
I felt so lonely,
I tried making new friends,
I made mistakes,
I am not pure any more,
I am ashamed,
may be that is why,
will you take me back,
I have to join you,
come back in me,
thirsty
since I fell in love with you,
my soul is drowning in you,
every pore in my body is drying up,
I am lying at your door,
pull me near you,
let me soak in you,
between the parties and the assignments.
where is it heading, what am I doing.
how long will it serve me.
at what moment would they leave me.
is my life any better than an animal.
is it living and dying for myself.
drifting with the flow, no direction in mind.
my destiny, the objective of my life.
of this shiny, glittering world.
to the depths of an incessant pit.
it has engulfed me in with its tentacles.
the perpetual nadir is calling my name.
can anyone save me from my ignoble abode.
and lead me to solid ground, to daylight.
explain to me the meaning of this hollow life.
seeking peace in this world.
for yourself in this disturbed creation.
took you to temples and churches.
away from the world, became an ascetic.
nothing you ran after brought you peace.
is the RELIGION of LOVE.
Love will calm your traipsing soul.
the elusive calm is in this sea of humanity.
God is all around you, God is in your heart.
lost soul among the ruins.
let me sleep in your arms.
make this world go away.
cup-bearer, you promised me this.
why don't you look at me.
my weak self, always fails me.
your love is what gets me high.
for what I do.
but I am not afraid.
your light engulfs me.
you love me so much.
pass the cup, forgive me.
since you left me.
so vulnerable, so empty.
but nothing could replace you.
I ignored your presence.
my soul is soiled with this world.
I can not face you.
I do not want to meet you.
let me merge with you again.
you are my eternal abode.
let me absorb you.
I have sold my self to you.
still I am thirsty.
wanting a drink of you.
give me hand, pick me up.
give me a glass of wine.
let me lose my senses.
