In every couple we know or see
Quarreling is nothing new
I know you are there for me
You know I’m for you
It matters not the arguments
We have over petty things
You wear my love like ornaments
I wear it like a ring
It matters not how much we fight
How Ego stakes a claim
I love you and I know it’s right
It is my only aim
I love you more with the passing day
I love you more in every way
More than words can ever say
I love you more today
More than I loved you yesterday
More than I loved you back in May
More than I can convey
I love you more today
I love you more than a summer’s day
Love that will never go away
More than I can display
I love you more today
The sun is a jealous star
Yes I know it to be true
It burns and seethes with rage
Whenever it looks at you
And it is not the only one
Whose envy is there to see
I am talking about all the stars
Shining in the galaxy
For you, my darling, are
The brightest star out there
Who can match your light and glow?
Who can dream to dare?
Let the sparks a fire start
Burn the walls between
Kiss the fire in my heart
Love me O’ Carolyn
Night is still, devoid of light
Watch as the flames arise
Reaching out to a dim moonlight
Glittering on your eyes
Winds blow soft and gentle
Caressing the ardent flare
Your smile transcendental
Drips magic everywhere
If this night should ever end
Let my being fall apart
Touch me then and warmly tend
Kiss the fire in my heart
Say my hello to the stars
How do they talk to you?
Do they shine brighter when filled with joy
Like you always used to do?
Say my hello to the moon
I long to be there too
To jump and float momentarily
Like a cloud with you
Say my hello to the sky
That enveloping sheet of blue
For cradling you in her doting arms
The way we failed to do
And finally a hello to you
I know it’s long overdue
Sometimes I get caught up in things
Which I never care to do
Sometimes I lose track of time
And the happiness I knew
I wish that you could see how much
I miss you. I really do
Life is but a long-drawn joke
Played on every broad and bloke
Its novelty has come to decline
For Death is its solitary punchline
I jump in delight
At the sight
Of the flight
Of the birds at night
Right
Against the moonlight
Yes it’s still the same ol’ world
Same ol’ them
Same ol’ me
With a heart that sometime’s full
And sometime’s empty
Yes it’s still the same ol’ world
Going round
Around the sun
Nothing’s changed. Nothing will
We’re just alone
Yes it’s still the same ol’ world
Same ol’ job
Same ol’ work
Maybe someday we’ll meet again
Wish me luck
Yes it’s still the same ol’ world
See the flowers
Adorn the trees
See the stars in the sky
And feel the breeze
Yes it’s still the same ol’ world
A little better
A little worse
Who’s to say if we’re blessed
Or if we’re cursed
Yes it’s still the same ol’ world
A little older
Just like me
A little colder like my hands
And a little empty
T’was not so long ago
That Death forced us apart
Now it will be Death again
To reunite our hearts
I have no legs to make a stand
I have no eyes, no ears, no hands
I have no tongue to speak for me
Yet I cry and wail in agony
I was the purest in this game
I still am but it’s not the same
I was beautiful and lush and then
I was crippled by a disease called Man
I gave him water, air and land
When he was just a grain of sand
Ungrateful and spoilt is he
To leave a tainted legacy
I gave him signs, I’ve warned him so
Often that he’s now come to know
That he must clean what he has made
Dirty with his mad parade
Still I could never understand
What’ll take for him to see his end?
When will he learn? He never will
He’s arrogant and evil still
He’s happy now but he will be hurt
Of his home he knows no worth
To a monster I’ve given birth
I am what he calls Mother Earth
