Tonight

Tonight is so beautiful
Serene, Calm
and full of moonlight
Scintillating fireflies
Jasmine brimming with fragrance
Bone chilling breeze
Colluding together for the first time
to make this night ever more beautiful
Just beautiful and beautiful


Tonight I'm just listening to silence
Speaking to silence
In silence, reminiscing the old times
Some sweet, some bitter
some ecstatic, some painful
Entwined they make up the life
As I think of them tonight
The night seems more beautiful
 Just beautiful and beautiful


I wish this night lasts forever
so that I can keep staring at the sky
Sky full of stars
Starts I wanna explore
to find a star of mine
I wish to ask moon today
the secret of its beauty
beauty which is unparalleled and sublime
Making this night beautiful than ever
Just beautiful and beautiful

Yes, I'm different

They say I don't do this
I don't do that
They say I don't share their feelings
Hold their beliefs
They ask why I'm not interested in
what's everyone's favorite
They wonder I don't enjoy
what everyone does
So what?
I'm not like them
Yes, I'm different
different from everyone else

I have my own interests
to derive the pleasures from
I behave in my own way
idiosyncratic and difficult to comprehend
I deviate from them
in all the possible forms
I live life on my own terms
dance to my own rhythms
abide by self made rules
that's what...
I'm not like them
Yes, I'm different
different from everyone else

They might call me maniac
narcissistic or self obsessed
They might perceive me desolate
sulky, aloof or depressed
Such are they
with limited sight
Aware of my actions, confident of myself
I would let them say
whatever pleases them
since perceptions don't matter
my dreams won't shatter
Right that
I'm not like them
Yes, I'm different
different from everyone else
