Swings

Oh these swings are a nasty thing

One moment they get you up

High as the birds in the sky

The next moment you are down

Like the outcast dirt on earth

One moment they make you feel in love

Like nothing could go wrong

The next moment you are feeling sick

When you come crashing down

One moment you are gleefully singing

As the breeze brushes your hair

The very next moment you are exhausted

Your head containing a tornado

One moment you are full of happiness

Happier than the king of the world

The next moment you are struggling

To find a bit of peace and calm

One moment up

One moment down

Up, down, up, down, up, down

Oh these swings are a nasty thing

My simple heart couldn’t take it anymore

My Ash

I wrote my song on fire

For love is a savage flame

There I wrote with ire

There I wrote your name

Now with fingers burning

I pour my pain in rage

Watch grey smoke returning

To the fire-bounded page

The fire — cruel and hollow

Turns on me in a flash

Leaps at me to swallow

My anger and my ash

All Over Again

I don’t know

I don’t know where we’re goin’

I don’t care

Which way this wind is blowin’

Last night

I thought I would put this to end

But we’re starting

To go through this all over again

I don’t know

How this will turn out to be

I don’t care

How this will turn out to be

Last night

I kept my eyes wide open

Thinking, wondering

If we’re doing this all over again

I don’t know

If this story has an ending

I don’t care

If you’re just pretending

All night

I swallow my ego and pain

For I fear

We’re starting it all over again

On The Path Of Love

I lost my way on the path of love

From running way too hard

Here and there and everywhere

With complete disregard

To the shoes and sanity

That one must have and wear

For the first were torn and worn

The second needed repair

Then you came and grabbed my hand

Directed me the right way

Pulled me from the dark of night

Into the bright of day

You gave me a new pair of shoes

One called Faith, the other Trust

And asked me to run along with them

I’d never felt such a thrust

Now I need to run no more

I merely stroll and walk

For I have you for company

To chatter and to talk

Away on the path of love

Me and you and you and me

Moving on towards our home

As happy as we could be

Time Is A Millipede

Time is a millipede

When you are not here

Moving forward slowly

Despite a hundred feet

Why I Love You

If you ask me why I love you

I would ask for a day

For all the reasons there are

Would take hours to say

Till Heaven Shatters

Tell me baby

What are we supposed to do at all?

Is everything a reminder that we might fall?

I’m not worried

Or may be I just don’t show it

Because what the future holds — I don’t know it

Tell me baby

Where’s that smile gone from off your face?

Let not tomorrow clamour what this day says

I will be here

Whether it’s rain or fog or snow or mist

You’re the reason why I and Love exist

Tell me baby

Is this what really love is?

It can’t be much different from what this thing is

You know I love you

Till heaven is filled with love and it shatters

You love me too and it’s all that matters

Oh Your Heart Is So Big

Oh your heart is so big

That I could fit an Eiffel Tower

But for now all I’d do

Is place myself in your power

Your Entire Universe

I want to be the bright, blue sky

The protecting roof over your head

I want to be the floor and earth

On which you make your cosy bed

I want to be the air around you

Filled with true love and lots of care

The air that you breathe and fill

Invisible yet it’s always there

I want to be your knight and God

Protect you from all harm and curse

I don’t want to be just your lover

I want to be your entire universe

In Your Smile

In your smile

There’s a world

There’s a paradise

I feel free, I feel lost

In your smile

In your smile

All my pain

Find a healing light

My heart is fixed, it is caught

In your smile

In your smile

All my frets

Start to fade

I feel free, I feel lost

In your smile

Just when I start to worry

You then smile and make me see

Just how good it can be

Then I start to realise

All the magic is in the paradise

Of your smile’s size

There’s a world

In your smile

There’s a paradise

I feel lost, I feel free

In your smile
