His breath was heavy and so was his heart,
His arms were tired and his eyes were wet,
In a moment they had been torn apart,
He sat alone in the park they had met

Let it Be

John, Paul and George are common names. We might hear them all the time and not give it a second thought. Put them all together, (with Ringo of course) and we get what I acknowledge as justice to music.

The Beatles have always fascinated me. Be it the fact that I heard my Principal sing Let it Be in the school assembly and fell in love with the song, not knowing that I had been born post an era where music had a whole new dimension: soul.

The Beatles' music has a certain tick about them. Something that makes you smile and sing along with love and feeling. Every note is so pure, all the lyrics are so beautiful and the way the song flows into the ears is pure ecstasy Every word is audible, legible and the songs always tell a lovely story; of submarines, girls, friends and even the facts of life.

I really have no words to describe how I feel about them. A Facebook status got this instinct of mine to rise up at this late hour and reflect back on the respect and love I have for them. Every song I hear makes me picturise  the Beatles with their naughty and toothy smiles( in black and white ;) ).

I thank you for the love you have shown to the world. To what you have given us forever. There is good music, great music, unbelievable music and then comes your music. How I wish I could have been a part of Beatlemania when it ran rampant throughout the world. 

Thank you Shruti for you Facebook Status. I would have never had the time to realise how much they mean to me :) 

Star

She followed the light and found him. He had waited long enough.
The stars did shine brightly that night, he knew she would come.
There was nothing said, the rustle of the wind was enough to make the moment come alive.
All there stood was them, silent yet powerful, quiet yet loud.

Reached

Over the mountain, through the winds,

He leaped with lust for his love to be,

Under the shadows and over the clouds,

Yes, he reached the shore,

With fervour, with glee

The soft sand painted his feet with love,

The waves did break in song for thee,

He had reached from a land far far away,

With passion in his eyes, 

and a soul set free

She crawled out of the cave she
had waited,

To hear his voice over the deafening sea,

Yes, he held her tight in his tired arms,

He melted her heart

and so did She.. 

मन

गूँज रही थी जो कानो में आवाज़,

आज उसी गूँज में खो जाने का मन है

छू गयी थी जो बचपन की कुछ बातें

आज उन्हें बातों को दोहराने का मन है

भाग कर आया हूँ जिस घड़ी से मैं

आज उसी पल से टकराने का मन है

लड़ा था जो समुन्द्र की लहरों से 

आज उन्ही लहरों में भए जाने का मन है

रखें हैं जो खयालों पर पत्थर 

आज उन्ही पर्वतों को पिघलाने का मन है

हज़ार जो बातें करी है सबसे 

आज उन कुछ बातों को आज़माने का मन है  

आज नहीं रुकुंगा किसी मोड़ पर मैं

उस दीवाने रास्ते को डराने का मन है 

ख़ुशी के जो लम्हे बाँटें थे सबसे

आज उन्ही लम्हों से घबराने का मन है

सोच रहा हूँ आज मैं खुल कर

तुम ही बतायो मेरा क्या मन है?

ज़िन्दगी से लम्बी कोई तकदीर नहीं 

पल पल इसे जी जाने का मन है...

Touch

Walking away, in silent footsteps,
She looked back and smiled, to melt his heart
He ran towards her, through forest thickets
Over gnawing thorns, that set them apart

Her hair flew as she glided away,
Leaving a trail of love and smile,
He breathed it in, with arms open wide,
For it had been long, since he had felt so alive

He took her in his arms, and looked into her eyes
He saw her thoughts, her laughs, her cries
Yes, they had met after 180 days of winter
And now they were united, under the beckoning skies

The rush of blood, the touch of skin,
The sound of breath, the taste of him
The smell of lust did bring them near,
Their hearts rejoiced, in silent song,
With unsaid words, and that unshed tear

Breath

" Why did you have to break this up? Why couldn't you let me be? "
" I wanted to be with you forever. Life doesn't go the way we plan it. "
" What stopped you? Don't you think I deserve to love you back? "
" You are the only one who has truly loved me. I can't bear to see you in pain."
" Then why are you running away! Why are you packing away all my pictures? "
" Your smile makes me want to hug you again. To melt away in your arms. I want you to breathe me in and hold that moment forever. "
" I don't understand-"

" My love is wild David. I can't afford to let myself go free again. Love for me isn't just a photograph. It isn't even a person. It is to believe that one day, I would be exalted beyond reason. It is to live a dream and sleep away time. It is to touch the stars and mock the moon. "

" You never gave me a chance Jane. For all you know, I was waiting for you. To let me breathe you in. I love your smile, your hair, your lips. I love your smile. I love your soul Jane, can you live with that?"
I
" That is what scares me David. I will stay in your breath forever and you'd never breathe out. "
