Life Could Not Be For Love

~ Frank Solanki ~ 6 Comments

Life could not be for love
If it was I would have found it
Life could not be for love
If it is I have missed it

I Want To Live

~ Frank Solanki ~ 3 Comments

I want to live
Happily and merrily
Jubilantly and gleefully
Mirthfully and blithely

I want to love
Freely and crazily
Extraordinarily and unconditionally
Wildly and innocently

But that is not possible with you
Clearly and apparently
Currently and actually
Significantly and persistently

So I want to leave
Sadly and unfortunately
Necessarily and permanently
Essentially and importantly

A Whole Kilogram

~ Frank Solanki ~ 4 Comments

If you fail to give me love
Don’t think that I would die
I’d go the nearest grocery store
And a whole kilogram I would buy

If you fail to give me love
Don’t think that I would mind
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
Or any other I can find

If you fail to give me love
I won’t feel less of a man
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
Find the best deal that I can

If you fail to give me love
Leave me without a care
I’d go to the nearest grocery store
You can get everything in there

Do Different Hearts Ache Differently?

~ Frank Solanki ~ 4 Comments

Do different hearts ache differently?
My heart aches! Oh boy it aches!
Like a poke of a hundred pins
Like a skin pierced by a lion’s claw
Like a stab from a sharp dagger
It aches! Yes it aches in many ways!
Like landing on your head from a fall
Like dislocating your knee
Like being crushed by a heavy stone
Yes it aches like that
Does your heart ache like mine?
Does it even ache?
Does it ache all the time?
How does your heart ache?

Until My Heart Gave A Lease

~ Frank Solanki ~ Leave a comment

Life was charming, full of ease
Until my heart gave a lease
Made room for another human being
Though my mind was disagreeing
That person stayed but for a while
I lost my ability to smile
My young heart knows but one cure
To bring a new love through the door

Spiders?

~ Frank Solanki ~ 2 Comments

Look outside your window
There’re spiders all around
Falling from the skies
All over the ground

Mommy Mommy wake up
Hide me please somewhere
What if they come inside
Crawl over my hair?

Mommy says — Hide! Quick!
Under the bed we go
She says that they’re not spiders
They’re …

Fiendish

~ Frank Solanki ~ 4 Comments

An evil mind is full of thoughts
That tie his brain in sinful knots
And he sees the world as he himself is
Murky, vile and fiendish

There’s A Ghost In My Room

~ Frank Solanki ~ 5 Comments

There’s a ghost in my room
Who thinks he can’t be seen
Flickers the lights at night
Just to make a scene

There’s a ghost in my room
He slowly closes the door
When it makes a creaking sound
I hear him laugh and roar

There’s a ghost in my room
Who makes many hideous cries
I give him a lot of brownie points
Just for all the tries

I feel like speaking the truth someday
Tell him to stop his gag
But the poor guy seems lonely
So I let his drab show drag

My Head Is A Puzzle

~ Frank Solanki ~ 1 Comment

My head is a puzzle
I can never fix
Pieces scattered everywhere
Full of dirty tricks
It knows all my secrets
It knows everything
What do I know about it?
Absolutely nothing!
Is there a single way
To take back my freedom?
Is there a single clue
To solve this conundrum?
Until I find an answer
I am forever stuck
Who is to be blamed for this?
Nobody but my luck

Don’t Make A Sound

~ Frank Solanki ~ 2 Comments

The night is cold and chilling
A monster lurks around
It wants to make a killing
Of anybody who’s found

Bolt your doors tightly
Don’t make a sound
Till the sun comes out brightly
Rays hit the ground

Hold on till then for life
From the unknown hound
Gather your kids and wife
Don’t make a sound
