Orange!

  As I walk down the empty road,
On this morning, bright and cold,
I am amazed by what I behold;
And this is how the view unfolds.

Amidst the many hues of green,
In these bushes, thick and clean.
Are some blossoms earlier unseen,
Bright and orange, so full of sheen.

The sudden change in the view,
Baffles me, seems out of the blue,
And just like the first few drops of dew,
Thoughts settle in my mind, fresh and new.

Even in our lives there are times when
We are encountered by such situations and men,
That seem somewhat impossible to happen,
But still are, right there and then.

Changes can come come anytime and anywhere
And sometimes, all we do is stand and stare;
And sometimes when we get  for what we care,
It seems like God has answered our deepest prayer.

But sometimes in life, there comes a time,
When all we do ends up with results of crimes.
And at such times it feels like we've eaten just limes,
And self esteem is so low, it wouldn't be worth a dime!

But this is when I must remember what I have just seen,
That there can be orange, randomly in the green.
So if right now, life seems dull and ugly as a spleen,
Know that very soon, its going to be better than your dream!

The World Spins Madly On

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you'd gone
And the world spins madly on.

I Wish You Were Here

Its been a while since I saw you last
All we had, all we shared, is a thing of the past.
But even today, in my heart its your voice I hear
And even now, I wish you were here.

We talk everyday, anytime that is possible for us,
We're on the phone till dawn from dusk.
When you succeed, mine is the loudest cheer,
More than ever somehow, I wish you were here.

You know how I'm feeling without a word from me,
You're a thousand miles away, but you still somehow see.
You watch over me, even though we're not near,
Over and over I repeat, I wish you were here.

I close my eyes and I see your smiling face
I yearn to be with you, play a game of chase.
As the time flies by, distance becomes harder to bear,
Everynight when I pray, I wish you were here.

I still remember everything we did and said,
You've become that little voice in the back of my head;
You are there in every smile and each tear,
But right now, I wish you were here.

I miss holding your arm when I'm scared or alone.
I miss your hugs and that sweet comforting tone.
I miss how your presence dissolved away every fear,
I try not to, but I wish you were here.

You're always on my mind, its like your permanent address,
Your face is the one that flashes in moments of sadness.
Your memories somehow, to everything adhere,
And I want to let you know, I wish you were here.

And so it begins...

I open my eyes to a different ceiling now,
For a moment, I want to close them again.
But then I open them as I remember my vow,
And so it begins, my morning with hopes for rain.

Monotonously I move, completing my daily chores,
I realize I'm smiling, thinking about the dream I'd just seen.
I am present here, while my mind wanders on different shores,
And so it begins, my routine, like a fixed machine.

The Sun is bright, the birds chirp tirelessly away,
The mood is lightening now, and i feel the weight lift off me.
The trees are tall, but where they are they stay,
And so it begins, my day, with smiles as true as they can be.

Its new, all this, its something unknown,
I miss the old times, but i like it here.
yes, I have reaped what once I'd sown,
And so it begins, my hope with no single tear.

Yes, I wish that this change would slow down,
And yes, I know how less the possibility is,
But I have the strength to get rid of my frown,
And so it begins, my life, hopefully, full of bliss.

The Change

She was so cheery and happy
There is a change in her now.
She's not mean and snappy
But she's different somehow...

Her laugh used to be the loudest among us all,
Contagious, very musical to the ear.
Now she walks alone in the empty hall,
And lives in distrust and fear...

I smile at her, She looks at me with her empty eyes,
They were warm once, but now they're plain cold.
I try to talk to her, but i get no replies
She's just 18, how come she looks so old?

She stares out the window, but her mind is definitely not there,
I want to see her happy, to hear her sweet laughter,
I want to bring a smile to her face, remove any trace of despair.
Why did it happen to her, that horrible disaster?

Life is unfair, but why to the innocent?
She did nothing wrong, no sin ever!
Always hard working and diligent
Here she is, hurt and scarred forever...

The faith and trust she once had are gone
But i won't give up, I'll bring her back!
I know in God's chess I am a mere pawn.
But I will fill colors into her life, even though now it's just black...

It's Okay to not be Okay...

My heart beats slowly now,
"Don't be sad, smile" they say,
I don't wish to listen somehow,
It's Okay to not be Okay!

I just want to lie down, and do nothin' at all,
Morning and night, all the time in the day,
Their attempts I keep trying to stall,
They don't understand, it's Okay to not be Okay!

They keep talking, more and more and more,
I tell them to leave but they stubbornly stay!
Their chatter now makes my ears sore...
Don't they know? It's Okay to not be Okay!

They try to divert my attention, they ask me NOT to think.
I pretend to be distracted, hoping now they'd go away,
I smile with them while my heart continues to sink,
After all, it's Okay to not be Okay...

In the lonely nights, I stare into the dark,
For a brighter morning, to the Almighty I pray.
Stinging me day and night, the truth is prominent and stark,
But I know, It's Okay to not be Okay...

Life moves on, and so did I,
In someways,that's all I say,
I'm okay now, though I still don't fly...
But I'll always know, It's Okay to not be Okay...

Please Don't Remind Me Again...

I know all good things come to an end,
Please don't remind me again.
I know what message you're trying to send,
But please don't remind me again.
I know what I'm supposed to do,
Please don't remind me again.
I know what this means to you,
But please don't remind me again.
I know what the future will hold,
Please don't remind me again.
I know you don't want to be told,
Yet, please don't remind me again.
I know everything that I should,
Please don't remind me again.
I know all you want is our good,
But please don't remind me again.
I know you don't want to be hurt,
Please don't remind me again.
I know you'd want back your shirt,
But, please, don't remind me again.
I know you're trying to be strong,
Please don't remind me again.
I know my demands here are wrong,
But please don't remind me again.
I know you don't want this love anymore,
Please don't remind me again.
I know why you're walking out that door,
But please don't remind me again.
I know I should try to move on too,
Please don't remind me again.
But I know I still love you,
Please help me undo this pain...
