I twist and turn my thoughts around
To escape the growing gloom
To think that there may be a future
That isn’t like the drawing doom
I smile to hide my searing pain
Fake laughs can create true joy
Yet my heart never lies at ease
Keeps worrying about my girl and boy
What’s in store? I do not know
What’s in sight? I cannot see
What’s that sound? I cannot hear
Only feel this monstrosity
I never folded hands for myself
Never asked for happiness
I am old and weak but willing
To pass not forward this distress
All I ask — I ask now of you
Bless not my kids with the greatest joy
Keep them safe from Sorrow’s clutches
My darling girl and my dear boy

Mirrors In Space
Mirrors mirrors in empty space
Numerous light-years away
The only way I can keep
Living in yesterday
Tonight’s The Night
Tonight’s the night where we share our dreams
Catch a star
Lying afar
Even if impossible it seems
Tonight’s the night to write stories about
Who we are
Our new scar
And everything that casts a doubt
Tonight’s the night for a new discovery
All in all
With every fall
Our hearts shall make a quick recovery
Tonight’s the night when we learn to love
Stand up tall
Against the wall
Of hatred as we rise above
Clay
How beautiful would be that scene
If the world was blue and green
Everywhere you looked
Rivers and trees could be seen
But much to my dismay
The world is dark and gray
Everywhere I look
There’s concrete, dust and clay
If You Took A Knife And Cut Me
If you took a knife and cut me
Every time I lied
My body will be full of slashes
Still I’ll bleed more lies
If My Fingers Had Ink
If my fingers had ink
The winds; a blank slate
I’d write a letter to you, my love
A love letter in the air
Across the waves and oceans
Through the vast forests and seas
The winds will journey to you, my love
A journey to your ears
When the winds do whisper
Words from my deepest chambers
I’d miss the joy on your face, my love
The joy I can envisage
Sleep peacefully, my dear darling
Distance makes the heart grow fond
How far apart can we be, my love
If the same winds envelop us?
Love, Love
If the house seems to haunt us
The devil comes to daunt us
I’ll knock on her door
Till Happiness wants us
It’s love
Love love
Love love
If the world stands divided
Battlefronts have collided
We’ll stay together
For our hearts are united
If dark clouds are descendin’
Night knows no endin’
My armour and I
Your heart be defendin’
It’s love
Love love
Love love
When all hearts are dyin’
When all tongues are lyin’
I’ll keep you safe
From harm and cryin’
It’s love
Love love
Love love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It is love
Love love love love
Love that keeps your heart beatin’
Love that keeps my lungs breathin’
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It is love
Love, love, love, love
Love that makes your heart stronger
Love that makes me hold you longer
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It is love
Love, love, love, love
A Spider Weaved A Web
A spider weaved a web
Giant and intricate
Looked at it in awe and muttered —
Oh what an architect I am
Here I will protect my eggs
Here I will trap a fly
How pleasant it would be
Oh I’m so proud of myself
A man looked at a spider
Weaving a web in a corner of his room
He looked at it with disgust and said —
Oh what a low-life
Weaving a no-good web
Wasting his time and energy and life
Let me put it out of its misery
And he did
And he was so proud of himself
Godster
Imagine finding out
That the entire universe —
Yes the entire universe
Comprising of stars and galaxies
Clouds and planets
Asteroids and black holes
Light and darkness
You and me —
Is in fact an eye
An eye of a larger being
It could be of a god
Or a monster
Or something else entirely
Let’s just call it a Godster
Imagine finding out that we
Are microscopic beings
Dust-like particles in Godster’s eye
There’s more to the Godster than just the eye
But we can barely wrap our heads around this
Forget ever getting to see its face
But here’s the best part
If this is true then
We have always been staring at Godster
Looking straight in its eye
And it has been looking back at us
Without either being aware of it
Don’t Wake Me Up Till The Hatred’s Gone
Don’t wake me up till the hatred’s gone
Let me sleep in my bed alone
I’ll be dreaming about a better world
Don’t wake me up till the dreaming’s done
