The Humming Heart

Expressing The Inexpressible





Words that never left home
afraid of the untrodden road
quivered in fear realizing
you were too far away to hear its call

What you failed to hear
were the sounds of love
treasured in its heart
For you....
For so long

Loosing you into the noise all around
now it drowns in the rain alone
Nothing matters now
repeating itself, an endless loop
all the things left unsaid
haunts the dreams spent with you

So it keeps searching
In its solemn silence
Forever wandering the air
that carries your presence

With your promise to meet halfway
saving each breath
to shout out one day
The words that lost its way




How do you feel evading the distant voice?
left to be mocked & laughed upon
Thrashed & tossed by the cruel winds
bruised, the state of love

Cheated again and again
by the world that hid you away
Looking for you in vain
while you stayed far from range
But hope its pitiful existence
amused you in some way

Still suppressing the screams & cries
it lingers on for you
with the melody left in your wake
a song turned meaningless
in your absence

And it keeps searching
In its solemn silence
Forever wandering the air
that carries your presence

With your promise to meet halfway
saving each breath
to shout out one day
The words that lost its way




I know no tune for world peace
Or melody to cure a disease
No song to raise awareness
Or words to define the crumbling humanity

All I can do is may be
Describe the bus ride home
A few words in between about
The guy who sat next to me,
How unproductive the lessons they teach feel like,
Or the canteen food that was disgusting


So don’t come to me with matters worldly
I hardly care at all
What’s going on fails to concern me
Because I’m locked behind my wall

Don’t come to me expecting heavenly beats
I know not how to raise life’s worth
All I can do is bring you back to reality
And help you be down to earth



Even if you ask me I can’t tell you
How beautiful is a hill view
For all I have come across are street sides
Piled with trash each day as I pass by
And a dingy backdrop of cascading houses
That would make any four walls look like paradise


So don’t come to me describing nature’s beauty
For I hardly care at all
What’s going on fails to concern me
Because I’m locked behind my wall

Don’t come to me expecting heavenly beats
I know not how to raise life’s worth
All I can do is bring you back to reality
And help you be down to earth



I was standing by your side
For you to get better
Waiting for you to open your eyes
Hoping for good days together
When you’ll wish your pain goodbye

So don’t drift to an unknown place
Lost within the chilling shade
Look up and meet my gaze
Come to me if you wanna hide

Hey, you don’t have to tell me why
You don’t have to tell me lies
Don’t act strong for my eyes
Leave all the madness behind



And as the day pass into night
Come…. come back home
When the darkness clouds your mind
Come…. come back home

When you need an escape
Safe within my embrace
I’ll get you out of harm’s way
Yeah, I won’t let them know your name

And you don’t have to tell me why
You don’t have to tell me lies
Don’t act strong for my eyes
Leave your mask behind




Sands of time slips away
From these hands without a trace
24 years passed me by
Still I’m here, everything’s the same

Stop! Come back
Don’t leave me here
I’m lost, alone
Without a plan

Spin back!
Bend the time
I need another chance
To live my life


Waves crashed, oceans rised
All my sand castles kept collapsing
as you ticked your hands
Days sped by, while I stood still
dazed within your mellow chime

Now what’s left of me
Is not who I thought I would be
And in the wait I’ve come to realize
There’s no stopping to the flow of life

So, Stop! Come back
Don’t leave me here
I’m lost, alone
Without a plan

Spin back!
Bend the time
I need another chance
To live my life



Grant me a moment before you go,
For there’s something I need to know
Tell me what happiness is?
Is there a healing within the pain I feel?
Tell me what life is?
Is there a meaning to the 24 years I lived?

So, Stop! Come back
Don’t leave me here
I’m lost, alone
Without a plan

Spin back!
Bend the time
I need another chance
To live my life

Indifference was the word
I lived my life by
Ignore and being ignored
Never caring to empathize

Life meant – the passing of days,
Rising of sun & the fall of night
& when the lightning strikes
Lie down, don’t fight

So how did you find me?
I was well hidden from all eyes
How did you cross the distance?
I build to keep you away from my life
Why did you choose to be by my side?


They said, put up a smile
In the face of adversity
It’s the only way to live
Even when your heart is breaking
& no matter how empty you feel inside
Try to spread laughter & joy

But time instead proved the theory
Cursed & unlucky, that’s my identity
Hurt & pain was all I could give
To the ones who loved me
The countless attempts to rectify
Still made me end up on the losing side


So, why do you come to me?
For I have nothing to share
Why do you stand by me?
Show selfless love & care

Why do you risk your happiness?
In my world of darkness
Why do you wish to be part of my life?
Why do you choose to be by my side?


 


 


Dead of the night, shines the stars
That’s when I hear my whispering heart.

Stories to tell, tales to spin
Where the brave knight searches for the fairest maiden to win
Twisted roads to take, where the shadows dwell
Vanquish the enemy, Fight for your love

It’s the fantasies realm, where reality never calls
I love to hear my whispering heart.

All I need is a start
I’ll weave the story well, Take it to its end
A life happily lived, till death do us apart

So take me to sleep, Oh! King of dreams
Let me cherish the memories of sweet streams,
The scented breeze & the green trees
Where my love waits for me

So as the day ends & the darkness falls
In the lucid night & the shine of stars
I’ll wait to hear my whispering heart.


They say its end of the days
Turn your back & walk away
They say the walls will block your ways
It’s time to give up & dig your own grave

It’s getting hard,
To live under the shadows grey
Is there a hope?
For I need some spark to light my way

And I just want to – live life (live life)
When they say it’s hard to – save me (save me)
Wish that I could – be free (be free)
Won’t you just – Let me be…?



Your eyes search for a lot to show
Is it out there anymore?
You chase your dreams...on & on…
Look sharp; how far off you’ve gone?

It’s getting hard
They say I should change my way
Deep down my heart
I fight to stay the same.

Don’t you realize? …

I just want to – live life (live life)
Don’t you try to – find me (find me)
Wish I could – be free (be free)
Won’t you just – Let me be…?



No matter how hard you fight the war
There’re always casualties to count
No matter how well you mask your lies
Deep down you’ll always feel wrong

So when you still have time…

Just – Live life (live life)
The day has come to – break free (break free)
I don’t care if you – hate me (like me) 
I leave your ways – To Be Me…

About this blog

The heart hums something about the ineffable. It’s trying to give you a glimpse into the enigma. You can understand it, yet you can never understand it completely. It is elusive, it escapes. It is within reach, but it is not within grasp. You are always coming closer and closer to it, but you may never arrive. Still the heart waits with hope for the day someone arrives, when the distinction between the seeker and the sought disappears!
