There are millions of people out there with ugly hearts.
They think using and hurting others is play. Other people are only here for their amusement.
But when it ends won’t they be surprised.
There are thousands of good hearted people out there.
Who think loving and caring is the way to go.
Everyone else is the same they think, here to care about others.
But when it ends won’t they be surprised too.
But for now the world keeps on spinning.
Around and around like a bowling ball.
Headed for that last big strike.
Surprise.

There was a time when everything was right,
each moment was blissful and bright.
Carefree, evergreen smile flashing on the face
but now life seems to loose its pace.
Everywhere is dark, no ray of hope,
no chances are left to recoup.
The evil void seared my happy soul
tears are flowing, which I can’t control.
Finding way out of it, I wasn’t sure
just wondering if I can find any cure.
But time heals all the pain,
after drought there always comes rain.
Even though life seems to be full of jerks
but letting yourself down will never work.
Parents’ love cannot be described in brief
and true friends are always beside us in our grief
There are many people who make life worth living
so cheer up and start dreaming.
Just believe in yourself and your dreams,
though impossible things may seem
Someday, somehow you’ll get through
to the goal you have in view

Life is a ride
it goes up and down
and sometimes you have to run
or turn around
so many things happen
a lot of drama to take
but we live through it
leaving behind each mistake
you bought yourself a ticket
and now you’re on the ride
so make the best of it
don’t jump off the side
so put on a smile
you’ll survive a bump on the way
and then you’ll be shooting up again
because that’s the price you have to pay

Life is like a river,
In the beginning,
It bubbles a lot,
As if forever.
A child also thinks,
He or she,
Can live forever,
They think life’s a crystal stair.
Then the river slows,
as life reaches its lows,
and of course,
it’s highs.
It then becomes smooth,
when we become lazy,
then it feels as if it’s not moving
that’s is our old age
Then it goes out
into the ocean just like
us, going up
into the heavens.
Savor every moment
as the wind blows in your hair
when one life ends
another begins.

I am walking through the forest,
The very lonely forest, all by myself,
No one to speak to, no one to touch,
I’m all alone feeling sad and betrayed.
I am walking past the dark, drowning shadows,
To the flowing river to face my death,
No one to speak to, no one to save me,
I’m all alone as I set forth to face my doom.
I take a breath of fresh air,
And enter a place so foreign to me,
No one to speak to, no one to fall on,
I’m all alone in a place I must call home.
The further I go, the clearer it becomes,
And the less I ache,
No one to speak to but myself,
That’s when I realized, ONLY I CAN SAVE MYSELF.

I look around me and I find the things I’ve seen have made me blind.
I can no longer look and see the beauty that once surrounded me.
I see the world with eyes anew, the greed and hate, intolerance too, have taken over to leave behind a landscape bare of all that’s kind.
Once we shared and shared alike. Our homes and hearts were open too.
What we had was there for all.” What’s mine is yours” was all the tone.
Now “What’s yours is mine, what’s mine’s my own”
I dream that things will change again, that new will not be the end.
That we will save the things we have. Not cast aside as fashioned slave.
The desire, greed and envy trend will fade as we make do and mend.
Our world would avoid the change in nature as men’s natures grew.
In taking less and giving more, we feed the hungry, help the poor.
A wealth that we have never known is there for all, no man alone.
No lottery, no selfish gain. A richness we had lost is found.
Life’s joy and happiness laughter sound.

There is no time, No time to spare,
These are the moments, In which we share,
There is no time, Forget the past,
For nothing is forever, This will not last,
There is no time, The end is near,
Love each moment, Live not in fear…

I stand by my window
watching the streets below
the multicolored shadows moving to n fro
some in a rush not to b late
some too slow cos they got time to waste
some hiding behind the walls
smoking deep
some crying loud
cos they got no eyes for those tears to keep
some riding bikes n flying in air
some walking head down
cos they got none to share
sum stretching arms asking for penny
some bunking away waisting money
I turned my head to the other lane
but there too the situation was same
so I closed my window n sat on a mat
pondering on the views I have just had
I was thinking deeply
n suddenly someone called my name
I turned back in vain
it was aunt of mine saying me to go
I had to go cos I was getting late
I dressed myself n stepped out
in the world full of love, jealousy, sadness n hate…
+13
When I look up and down the streets,
in this world I dare not speak,
to see the people looking down,
I wonder why they always frown,
just one day I hope I see,
people that are as happy as me.

Life has its beginning
Like a book or a story that there’s an ending
For eternal life is always waiting
To end those pains and sufferings.
It made me remember
When I still had my grandfather
Who was there for me when I needed care
And wakes me up in the midst of nightmare.
Years had passed and his strength was finally over
Day by day his knees were getting weaker
Until one day he couldn’t land his feet
It only shows how life is so swift.
From dark hair to gray
Not knowing that his birthday would be also his last day
I have nothing to do but to pray
That God will find a way to be with him again someday.

I wonder why a bird can fly…..
and yet, not I
A fish can swim beneath the sea …
but yet, not me.
The hoot owl sees in the dark of night…
yet, I must use a light.
It soes not seem quite right…
yet……”I can wonder!”
+32
If I could stop time,
I will be in the toppest of the world
Experiencing all the joys and happy moments
If I could stop time
I would pray the Time to stand still,
Because there are still few words left unspoken:
And moments to spare with the loved ones
If I could stop time
I request the Lord to have mercy on me
So that I shall grab out all the rapturous fantasies
Oh! Time be slow for you are the greatest healer of life,
I wish and love to do all these things
If and only if I could stop………TIME!

Why do we complain
when we have everything.
We have all we need to live
a comfortable life.
But we walk around
with ingratitude and strife.
We should stop and think
about others,
not just of ourselves.
For it is in humility
that one discovers-
true dignity…
When tragedy hits
we all throw fits
for a minute or two.
But when it’s over
we brush it aside
and continue on this
fascinating ride of
life….

I keep searching for an answer,
But I never seem to find one.
I’m here, you’re here,
But for what?
I keep looking around me,
And all I see is tragedy.
People dying over here,
People dying over there.
But I’m here, you’re here,
Why?
I keep hearing sounds,
Sounds of bombs,
Sounds of people screaming,
And sounds of laughter.
But I’m here, you’re here,
How?
I take a closer look at you,
I see what you’re holding in your hand.
I look at the knife,
I start to scream, you do the same.
I stop and so do you.
I’m here, you’re here,
What’s going on?
I take a step back,
You take a step forward.
I reach out my hand,
You do the same.
Once we touch,
I understand.
I’m you and you’re me.
And that’s when I found my answer.

Stamina fades so fast
to work-out physically;
Head’s aiming for great stuffs.
The essence throw up
the routinely ways.
Sometimes things just happen,
feelings promptly ended.
Mind’s stopping to anticipate,
Eyes are just closing to see,
What the ears hear.
Loneliness occurs time to time,
Emptiness filled the motions.
Unsatisfactory scenes entangles.
Contentment struggles while
Hope is willing to pause for a little while.
Moment to moment…
Seconds to minutes…
Minutes to hours…
Bits and pieces are motionless.
Temporary fades, Temporarily occurs.

HereI am alone in my bedroom,
With just my thoughts for company,
Sitting here thinking, finally believing,
That I was just too blind to see,
That however hard I tried, however hard I strived,
Working to make you happy,
I just couldn’t comprehend that message you sent that all you needed was me.
So all of you listening try to learn from my mistakes,
That life’s not all about trying to make your own breaks.
Sometimes all you need to survive,
Is right there in front of your eyes.
So you professor don’t show off your fancy degree,
And you superstar don’t brag about your tons of money.
Coz all of you are too blinded just to see,
That none of you are as happy as me.
Here I am alone in my bedroom,
With just my thought for company,
But then you walk in with a smile on your lips and a sparkle in each of your eyes,
and finally, sitting here, with you, beside you, I’m just about able to realize.
That life’s not all about that history behind you,
Or the things that you do that you don’t really want to,
All you need is that someone right there, with you, to love you, right in front of your eyes.
So all of you listening try to learn from my mistakes,
That life’s not all about trying to make your own breaks.
Sometimes all you need to survive,
Is right there in front of your eyes.
I said it’s right there in front of your eyes, Oh yes its right there in front of your eyes.
All you need to do is realize…..

I know nobody is perfect
and this I wont deny
and nobody includes me and you
at the least we all can try
Perfections like a paradox
a puzzle that cant be solved
a riddle that’s impossible
a ghost that roams around
so why do we try to be
this word we call perfection
when we’re not happy with how we act, think and feel
and when we look at our reflection
+13
I search for an answer to the word of life
And I come up with no answers to the lies
They say one is happy doing what he likes
But, is it possible to be wrapped up in the strife
Everyday planning, everyday people
Everyday problems that don’t seem to matter
When do we call it enough or throw in the towel
Or do we go through life like it’s a battle
Fighting with each other over senseless things
Or call a truce and go our separate ways?
Do I take the canvas and paint my picture of
What life really means to me? Or, do
I drop the paintbrush and splatter the paint
For is there really truth in life that can
Ease all this pain….of deceit and heartache
I’m sure I will survive this word of life
That when looked at through the eyes of love
There is no lies…..
+38
To sum up life,
Is not a hard task.
We may cut with a knife,
Or wear a mask.
The de ja vu.
All the lies,
All the truth.
The tears we cry,
Me and you.
We may hate,
We may love,
Emotion is a gift from above.
So live your life,
Because life is worth living,
Whether you take,
Or whether you’re giving.

Worlds and beyond I must say
are where my dreams lie
They go far beyond the visible sky
And deep beneath the sea floor
Even through the darkest hour I say,
I see my future so bright
Like the undeniable shine of the sun
So loud it echoes those of my dreams
Then I know I will get there now or later
For the promise of the future is so near
That I can almost feel it with the touch of my hand
