Leave aside all that is pending
Hear my hollow heart a-rending
All the nights that I’ve been spending
Dreaming, wishing for a lifetime by your side
Now there’ll be no more pretending
Every branch and road be bending
Come to me without contending
Leaving, bridging the ghost of this divide
Here I am waiting, standing
Bring your heart loving, tending
I promise you a happy ending
Hoping, yearning for our paths to collide
Caring, loving you endlessly as my bride

I Told Myself A Lie
I told myself a lie
A lie I scarce believed
I iterated that lie
The lie that I have lived
I let the old truth die
A truth of great essence
And say this with a sigh
Truth makes no difference
Life Is Painful
Life is sad, bitter and painful
Interjected by moments of joy or neutrality
Those who claim that life is worth the hassle
Are deluded beyond recovery
No, I am not complaining about the end of life
We should not fear our end
It is inevitable and liberating
There is nothing after it, but void
No pain, sorrow or unhappiness
A constant state of nothing-ness
It is the death of loved ones
Which is most difficult to take
It makes life a terrible punishment
Fills you with grief, anxiety and denial
Rips your heart out and shreds it to pieces
Life is full of such losses
No joy equivalent to compensate for it
Life is sad
Life is bitter
Life is painful
Wailing Son
Morning, day and night
He wails, wails, wails
To try and keep him quiet
My wife fails, fails, fails
Let me help — I say
I try, try try
At the end of the day
I too cry, cry, cry

Did we start the fire?

Since the world’s been turning?
Did we start the fire?
Did we help to light it
Or we tried to fight it?
A Question For Q
Hey, I have a question, Q
Why do you always hang around U?
Have you no identity of your own?
Are you afraid of being alone?
Waq away from this dependency
Map your own qourse and be
A qeeper of your own qompany
I’m sure you’d liqe what you see
The Sound Of Sunrise
The sun awoke the earth from its deep slumber
With its bright blaze radiating far and wide
Filling colours where things were once dark and grim
A sparrow left her nest on a sycamore in search for food
Leaving her three fledglings chirping incessantly
A white butterfly fluttered around in search of new friends
The bees buzzed, made honey, and discussed politics
I breathed in the morning air and watched the squirrels scurrying in the wet, green grass
Affinity
To say that you are as bright
As the stars in the sky
Would be a lie; would be a lie
You are far more brighter
Than any star above
My dear Love; my dear Love
To say that I have missed you
For a hundred years
Is lie to your ears; to your ears
I have yearned for you madly
With my heart’s affinity
For infinity; for infinity
My Brain Is My God
I see the world through it
It helps me interpret it
It lives inside of me, guides me
Shows me what is right and wrong
Leads me to the chosen path
It handles tasks I am incapable of
Digests my food
Regulates my temperature
Circulates my blood
It takes care of me
It knows all that I have ever done
Everything that I have ever seen
Heard, smelled or spoken
Every good deed and bad
Every mistake and achievement
Every joy and every pain
It remains by my side
Without it I am nothing
With it I come into existence
to the tune of Oasis’s Live Forever
Really, I would do anything for you
You know I would really do
Because I can’t think straight
Baby, did you ever hear a doubt
When I am about
Let me put it straight
Baby I would never leave
Bring you joy you best believe
I would never say goodbye
I would never hide or lie
I think you’re the same as me
I think we are meant to be
You and I are gonna be together
Really, I would do anything for you
You know I would really do
Because I can’t think straight
Baby, did you ever hear a doubt
When I am about
Let me put it straight
Look at me and you will see
All the love I hold for thee
You know our love would never die
Spread your wings and start to fly
If you’d only just believe
Everything we can achieve
You and I are gonna be together
Gonna be together
Gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
We’re gonna be together
