thought

you may be good or bad,

everyone has to face times that are sad,

there must be a reason for you to feel so,

but its on you to what you want to show,

you might have ways to get out of it, or you might have none,

but either ways, remember you aint done,

its never gonna be easy, which advice to reject and which to take,

you are gonna be who you are from the choices you make,

so do what you love to do, spend it how you like to spend,

coz no one on this earth really knows how its gonna end.

feel

on the path to earn my bread,

I did stuff what I had been said,

food had kept me physically alive,

but on this journey I was brain dead,

walking towards the directed start,

I almost forgot to follow my heart,

I thought I was in the game,

but I could never hit the dart,

when everyone asked to stand still,

explaining me a due bill,

a calm cold wind just blew,

I am happy, I made a move.

A Wednesday

A Wednesday,

ah, it has got so much to say,

in the middle of the week it comes every time,

no one much bothers when its coming or passes away,

sometimes its a planner for the weekend,

sometimes its just a day to spend,

sometimes its just calm and quiet,

 but harsh when you gotta submit a project by day end,

no matter at school, office, or home,

a Wednesday is likely for a kid, adult and a fully grown.

CityWalk - Dubai, Nov 2016

live or die

you are born and you die,

you marked your presence with the first cry,

being a kid, a teen, and adult you lived,

few moments you dream of, many things you did,

you did create a parallel world,

stories you shared, some secrets untold,

unless you got an exciting truth or dares,

you know, no one really cares,

you live or you die.

my bike

the day I got my bike,

was a memorable day in my life,

went to places I had never been,

spending some time with my ride,

on the road and mud and hill and dirt,

my bike would try with me to flirt,

spent all I had until I was broke,

but I swear it was worth a 2 stroke,

no matter the highway or hairpin bends,

the lovely feeling never ends.

point in life

that point in life,

when things don't seem so right,

what you can actually do,

is fight or take a snake bite,

when everyone around seems to have fun,

you wish to blow your brains with a gun,

though you strive when you live,

even death isn't a smooth drive,

love what you do and do what you love,

may be that's the only way to survive.

the first sight

the first time i saw you,

i had no idea what to do,

you just crossed by my path,

i was frozen, till a friend pat my back,

you had hit me in such a kind,

as if a meteor struck my mind,

your thoughts came on me like high tide waves,

i stood right there as in the middle of a maze,

i hope you pass by me again,

cant hold on to this imaginative pain.

- shahnawaz momin                          

i feel like

i feel like, 

i feel like i want to hold you,

closer than a drop to water,

feel your aura till it fumes my body,

i feel like,

i feel to touch you so softly,

as i know your blood running in the veins,

a touch that can reach your soul,

i feel like,

i feel my emotion can flow to you in the air,

every breathe you take is a conversation with me,

i feel like,

i feel to be with you when ever i live,

in the real and the unreal existence,

i feel like,

i feel when i talk to myself,

you respond from my core,

the thought we share without we speak.

Breathe

breathe, that's a strategy of any game,

breathe, even when you get to fame,

breathe, it helps to keep the stress out,

breathe, even when you are in doubt,

breathe, throughout the struggle in life, 

breathe, even when you sweat and strive,

breathe, when you have a decision to take,

breathe, when you have a choice to make

breathe, coz its free, for now,

breathe, coz you need to live, somehow

- shahnawaz momin         

  

while on the go

get that

When some people get rich,

God knows what happens,

They start acting like a bitch,

Some evil deeds they do,

Some mistakes they commit,

A relation they break,

Some friends they ditch,

Sooner or later they realize,

Some shit they did cant be stitched,

They think social media brings attention more,

But actually, its a whore,

Sometimes its on their side, 

Sometimes its off their shore,

That's when they need their kith and kin,

or a genie from the lamp of Aladdin,

I hope they get this before its late,

Else loneliness prevails over their skin.
