It is raining today like in Mumbai India
of the coast the Gateway of India stands
an archway to the Taj amidst the choppy sea
I have seen and have I visited so many times
Looking for my bachelors decree
We walked the halls through lecture doors
amidst Elphinstones brick walls
arches and corridors
built before the start of
timeless tides and infinity
ferry boats awave the gateway
to the Golden City
we spent our days in laughter and tears
amongst horses and carriages clopping
through the years before it was 1835
A dancing horse to the music from the band
we strolled abound and played our sounds
In Elphinstone we drank our tea endlessly
looking at storms and social reforms
A band of youth and wanton days
groups of friends from the Taj to Sams
and lined the streets with dreams and hope
I never thought we would go away
looking back at the smoldering
smoke over the bay, the bombs that were
to fall someday in our lives.
We cry now for our stolen hearts
at the souls who never heard our
cheers amongst tea cups
and a handful of beers
the bullet of pain travels like the byte train
unfolding on internet galaxies
scabs and wounds across the screen
in crowded stories and magazines
our Taj lay burning in hell
from the Gateway to Elphinstone
they turned our love into a shroud
for love for king or queen or bread
buried in a tomb under its head
a cobbled walkway mortared in dread.
Let the gentle rain wash away my tears
standing alone like an old oak leaf
echoes in the hollow barrels of time
Mortar shells smoke and bodies alive
Souls that are dead never to be found
We walked the halls through lecture doors
amidst Elphinstones brick walls
arches and corridors
built before the start of
timeless tides and infinity
ferry boats awave the gateway
to the Golden City
