Dependencies

Too cynical one becomes,
in this world of hard work;
Whom to trust and depend on,
is the question that always lurks;

Some people are achievers,
but so 'un'modern in their views;
Is that really success?,
from a different point of view;

Some people are lazy,
but talented they are;
Again whats its worth?,
from light they are afar;

Some people try hard,
but luck seems to be hollow;
but they have a ray of hope,
that they pursue and follow;

If it's a debate on talent,
versus hard work;
I'd go with the latter,
but the question always lurks;

These dependencies is what,
makes you strong, makes you weak;
Too cynical one becomes,
sow something and else you reap;

Disappointments from people,
arise due to expectations;
alas! I am sorry,
for having some emotions;

Wonder who are closest,
wonder which is an act;
Should I listen to my heart,
or believe the facts;

Hilarious that,
social animals we are;
whom to trust and depend on,
these questions still are...

Just this hope...

Her smiling nod and kiss on my cheek,

The yes to the letter in that envelope;

Those sparkling eyes oh! How unique

My heart beats on just this hope;

The little pause she brings in me,

And the bubbling joy it creates;

Makes me want to be with her,

But also makes me crazy afraid;

Her absence will leave indelible scars,

My heart will roll down the slope;

It will stop for sure, won’t take me far,

‘Coz my heart beats on just this hope;

That she will nod and kiss on my cheek,

Say yes to the letter in that envelope;

Finally it’ll end this hide-and-seek

My heart beats on just this hope;
