I just wanna talk

Sitting all by myself,
Having brought this loneliness upon myself,
I long for someone to talk to
I just wanna talk

There’s really nothing to talk
And I’m not exactly talkative
I’m a man of few words
But...I just wanna talk

Could be as silly as daily soaps
Or as profound as the beginnings of Universe
For how does it matter?
For...I just wanna talk

Introspection the talk might lead to
Or jokes that conversation might create
The laugh and the tears it might bring
For all that...I just wanna talk

All those years of silence and curt
How have I missed mindless chatter
Mindless, yet meaningful the same time
Anyone?...I just wanna talk

What’s in store for tomorrow, I know not
And I don’t wanna leave unspoken
Today is what I wanna live in
Today...I just wanna talk

The Nightjar and The Moon

In the Christmas dusk, when the world is cosy
Singing carols and making merry
The Nightjar wanders, alone in the woods
Calling long lost love, with plaintive moods

Gliding cliff to cliff, from tree to tree
Asketh his Moon Love, ‘Love, where art thee?’
Far out on the horizon, rises the Moon Glory
Haven’t you heard of their beautiful Love Story?!

The Moon shines with love, spreads her love with Light
Smiles at the Nightjar, turning dark night bright
Joyous in his company, she croons along
Distant as they are, yet united in the love-song

The world never sees their love, blinded by rituals and rite
The Lovers of Night care not, for all they need
Is their lover’s sight
The Moon at times wanes, sometimes with love she swells
Always waiting though, for the Nightjar’s musical spells

Timeless that their love is, the Nightjar never stops singing
When the cruel world’s not watching, serenading Moon each evening
How long have they been in love, nobody really knows
If only we care to see, the real love that the Serenade shows

Generations might pass, this love story’s not ending soon
Someday the world will talk, of the Lovers of Night
The Nightjar and The Moon
