The Kite
Am I the only one to think
that a kite is such a sad thing?

Flimsy...frail...
never really free,
forever tied to a string

Yes, it can soar indeed,

almost making it forget,

Has anyone lived long enough,
To finish cleaning out the garage.

Has anyone lived long enough,
To see leftover room in kitchen cupboards.

Has anyone lived long enough,
To bear witness to a man who sees no need for anymore...

Batteries a modern day curse or the answer to all our problems
Batteries for this, 
Batteries for that,
Batteries that are for him,
Batteries that are for her.

Batteries that are charged,
Batteries that can be re-charged

Batteries that are flat,
Batteries that are thin,
Batteries that are...

Mr. Nobody wears his socks to bed, 
a sad admission that

Can't count on the

but left alone it was naught.

Somewhere I Grew Up
Amidst the people I knew,
Those who had pains to go through
Jumping from exams to exams,
Not able to retrieve the horrid pangs
They slept with algebra clan,
And saw the morning light with geometry gang
But still between my...

Premium Member Love Is a Garden
An apple a day keeps the doctor away;
But hugs are the best for your heart.
They say all is fair in love and in war,
But fair can keep lovers apart.

Normal’s a setting on washing machines,
But love...

Means more jobs for spies,
To see how the land lies.

Silence among friends,
Means it is time to build bridges,
Down through the ages.

Silence among Lovers,
Means less need for daily showers,
And hairdryers.

Silence in the Forest,
Means it...
