MY THOUGHTS... MY LIFE...

my thoughts are troubled
my thoughts are weary
my thoughts sometimes get the better of me

It's not that I'm not 
used to being alone
sometimes it gets just too lonely

Most days I'm not alone 
Most days anyone's ever gone
But some days I wake up alone
With a voice that's never gone

Some days I'm doing fine alone
Doesn't matter who's home or gone
But when the night finds me all alone
My thoughts tell me they are never gone

When even in a crowd I feel alone
What difference it makes who's there or gone?
Finding strength in numbers alone
A comfort that goes when the numbers' gone

my life is good
my life is blessed
my life knows just what to expect of me

It's not that I'm not 
thankful enough but
sometimes it gets just too crappy

Most days I'm doing fine
Most days I'm standing in a line
But some days I pay a heavy fine
When life throws me out of line

Some days I act and say I'm fine
Even when I don't mean the line
Why bother when things are going fine
And say things which may cross the line?

So, I wear a mask so thin and fine
Can hardly see any crack or line
Just a pretense is how I would define
My life that's nothing more than an outline

A LONG DAY

Morning had come and gone
I wondered, what went wrong?
You never called me up
Did you already had enough?

I drank some coffee and read
what all the newspaper said
But my mind just wandered
To hear your voice, I hungered

I checked my time and checked my phone
Then I sat down and waited like a stone
For the drops of happiness to rain down on me
Oh! Just how the sight of you makes me so happy!

I woke up disappointed from my day-dream
I was as alone and as miserable as I had been
No sign of you; no sign from you
Missed you so bad I didn't know what to do

The dinner was great last night
Everything had felt so right
I had made my intentions clear to you
How deeply and madly I loved you

You said, you really cared for me
You needed some time to think and see
For it seemed to you, very sudden
It's gonna be two years by June end

I could sense your heart was troubled
Just ask your heart, it's that simple!
You said you'd call me in the morning
Spend the night thinking and pondering

Morning went by real slow
What's on your mind, I still didn't know
As the day drew its curtains
My heart would sink, I felt so certain

Before the lights lit up the streets
I felt my heart skip a beat
When the ringing sound reached my ears
I didn't know if I should dance or breakdown in tears

There you were smiling, standing at the door
And I knew I couldn't have asked for more
I let you in and Time had spun
our lives together; our journey had begun

ASSURANCE

Weak-limbed thoughts...
Tired out dreams...
Strained visions...
Hazy roads...

I stop
and
rest

Quick-footed world...
Fast love and the
Swift lovers...
Wasted...

I stop
and
wait

Someday it'll all be fine...
Dreams well-lived...
Things clear and 
Love found...

I cling
on to
faith

DESPERATION

If there ever was a moment
where everything in life
ceases to hold any kind of meaning at all
then this moment right now seems like it...

So desperate to live a real life...
So hungry to let happiness 
run through my veins and drown me in its ecstasy...

So wanting to be loved and to love...

Such desperation meets
the never-ending vacuum of a life I'm leading...

Just surviving by breathing in and breathing out...

As mechanical a man that you could find...
As empty and as lonely as possible...

It's just nothingness that greets me and meets me...

AN AFTERNOON RAIN

There's only the sound of the rain falling on the ground...
and the thunder roaring once in a while...
Hidden and safe in the comfort of my room,
I mockingly observe the world outside...

Little children dragged by their running parents
to a bus-stop or some shelter nearby...

Men running about like some drops of rain themselves,
holding their bags or newspapers or plastic bags
to shield them from getting wet in the rain...
Yet getting all soaking wet, nonetheless...

Women walking fast, tip-toeing in the rain...
covering their heads with their hands...
Serious-faced if walking alone
and giggling away if a bunch...

All the while every inanimate
and immobile living creatures
soak themselves in the rain drops...
by choice and 'out' of choice...

The benches get wet all through
in the game the rain drops play...
Each one of them vying for a dry spot
left on the benches,
till they turn wet from dry...

The leaves and the grasses, swaying
to the beats of the tiny drops of rain...
While the grasses have two left feet,
the leaves show them just how to dance...

Suddenly my smile disappeared from my face...
Wishing to get out and about
my heart didn't want to be 'hidden and safe' anymore
instead participate in the dance of the nature
and its many wonders...
