Land of Oz~ By Niramoy Ganguly

10/27/2014

15 Comments

 
Wake up every morning to the barking dog
Finding the sense of it while on the bog
Everyday is the same and every night alone
This is how my life is to be, the emptiness of home

Telling myself day after day
Happy on my own, this is the way
Don’t need someone to take up my time
Travel around and the world will be mine

Wishful thinking in the Land of Oz
The Tin-man’s heart, I never was
Just a dream and pointless because
I’m better off without Love

There was one at the back of my head
A girl I knew with whom I cared
Couldn’t tell her how I really felt
Cause I didn’t know what it was myself

We never felt that way about us
Even though we could never be apart
Talking the world till the morning wee hours
But I ain’t the guy she normally loves

Wishful thinking in the Land of Oz
The Scarecrow I have come because
Foolish to realize what she was to me
Maybe something thing that could have been

Years went by till I got back to her
Unavailable as I always had feared
Won’t let it stop me this time around
Cause my heart needed to be heard

“I’ve always loved u all of my life
Late it seems, I was too Foolish to realize
Didn’t have the Courage to tell u before
Lost my Heart, many times ago"

Wishful thinking in the Land of Oz
The Cowardly Lion, I’m not any more
Followed my heart down the yellow brick road
At the end, It led me to You

You have always been the one for me
No matter how different we would be
You have always accepted me for me
I was too cold for your love to see

Cant give you the material things like other guys
Nor can I take back the things I have said
I will love you till the end of time
Question is, Will you be Mine?

Niru, you penned a winner straight from your heart. The bog is an inspiring place, isn't it?

Fresh and interesting perspective on love, Niramoy, as I read, I fell in love, the way you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once!
