Follow Like a Shadow

Remember !  I will follow you like a shadow
Because I love you so much
I am a shadow because you don't want to see me otherwise
I am a shadow because I don't want to be separate from you

I will follow you wherever you go 
I will be in heaven if you go there
I will be in hell if you are there
Better stay on earth so I can stay here too

Your happiness are mine too
Your sorrows makes me cry
I know you don't want to share your feelings to me
But I feel the same way even before you feel anything

I wish you walk on the light always
Then I can exist for ever
I don't know shadow can exist on darkness
Don't ever choose darkness just to destroy me

Whenever you looked back you saw me standing there
You turned away your face and moved away with hatred
I followed you as fast as you ran away
Still my mind was filled with pure love


When you climb the ladder of success
I will be there to congratulate you
If you ever fall and weep
You will hear my soothing voice


Why shadow has different feelings now ?
In terms of love and hatred shadow can only love
Thank God for creating shadows
If not how could've I follow you ?

My final words.....
Don't ever try to run away.....
You can't be the real you...
Without your own shadow.......

I Think You Are the Cheap and Not Me ......

Showing me the expensive bangle on her wrist
She asked, "Will you buy me something like this ? "
If you do, you can take me out again
What do you say ' Yes ' or ' No ' ?

Looking at the bangle I knew it cost a lot
To take her out for a hot date
One day a bangle, another day a necklace
Her needs will never end until my pocket is empty

I managed to get a fake smile on my face
I saw another fake smile on her crooked face
I knew money is the only reason for this date
Her eyes are not on my face but on the bulged wallet 

It won't last long and it's unhealthy
I told to myself without thinking twice
Somehow I happend to control myself
I just said, " You get nothing when you come with me ".

Her response was so quick,"You are so cheap "
I had a hysteric laugh inside me 
I said loud to her , "I think you are the cheap and not me" '
"You know why? You come for something and not for Love " 

I am not looking for that kind of date
It is easy to get and I don't need it 
She tried to change the topic, "I was just kidding you" 
I knew it is a lie and I put a full stop on that relationship.

That's a Long Walk

A strange old lady stopped in front of me
With a deep sigh she said, " It's a long walk "
One more sigh and one more minute of rest
She continued her walk

Who knows it is for another long or short walk ?
Who knows when she can make another stop ?
An old couple came and stood besides me
I saw weary feelings in their eyes

How long they travelled before they got this break ?
Where do they move after this rest ?
How far they have to walk and take small intervals 
Before they get everlasting rest in peace ?

Another old man came and greeted the couple
How are you ?...... long time no see......
Glad to see you again....... how's life ? 
Sorry, I have to rush

See you again if God wills
Take care ....have a safe trip home
He moved fast towards his destination
I wish he get there safe 

People are coming and going
Resting for a short while and keep moving
You see movements everywhere 
Movements give life to everything

Stay Away From Me...........

Stay away from me if you can
If not you may have to cry for long hours
That's what happened to the girls
Who ever loved me somehow

Pretty young faces were my weakness
I found it hard to stick with a single one
I had several at the same time
Sometimes I doubted to pick the right one

I never had anyone who was ever
Really devoted to me completely
It may be the reason why I had confusion
I even losed faith in Love many times

I tried to keep distance from the girls
Temptations comes more and more then
I don't have enough self control
I fall and it makes both sides cry

Is it what my real destiny ?
Then I want to fight with it
I don't want to be a loser
I am willing to change myself for a victory

My Step Daughters

I always wished to be a dad
But I never had kids
I imagined other kids to be my own
Your daughter was my step daughter I wished to have

I know you don't want to make it happen
You still wants to be a single mother
You took sacrifices to make her happy
your burdens were so high

I wished to share them with you 
You never allowed me to help you
You want to be independent
It is ok to be independent

But receive help when you deserve it
We are dependent one another
Seek help if they don't abuse you later
Leave your ego behind and be simple

I had no patients to wait
I found rag doles in a store
It seemed like they are smiling at me
It seemed like they are begging me to take them home

I remembered my visit to an adoption centre years ago
There were kids from infancy to five years old
People visit there everyday
They were barren parents

They picked the kids they like to have
Some kids were ignored by everyone
Everyday they waitied for someone
Someone will come and take me home

I need a dad and a mom 
I don't want to be an orphan
I need a family
I want to love and be loved

I didn't make a second thought
I bought two ragdoles
I took them home
They are still at my room

I called then my step daughters
They took away my loneliness
They are making my life meaningful
I hug them and kiss them everyday

I feel like a dad
When I hug them
I feel like a mom 
When I kiss them

Oh ! Wonderful  is to be a dad
Oh ! Great is to be a mom
It is wonderful and great 
To be dad and mom at the same time

Seeing From Upstairs and Downstairs.......

She is on downstairs worrying about her man
He is on upstairs busy with other girls
To her he is the perfect lover
To him she is just the one among the many

Her world rolls around his thoughts
Her days are colorful like rainbows
Her world was such a tiny one
she never knew she lived in illusions

His world is big enough
To hold all the pretty girls
He never cried for losing one
When he lose one he gets two other new ones  

She never tried to cheat her man 
Even in her wild dreams she was a virgin
He is smart enough to convince everyone
He doesn't have any other girls

She is very innocent and faithful
She thinks his man is faithful too
Every minutes in his life is joyful
Every time he had someone with him

She prayed hard for his well being
She thanked God for giving him
He prayed everyday for more fresh girls
He thanked God for hearing his prayer

Her world is so small
It can hardly hold her and her man alone
She never saw the outside world
I wish she can see what's really happening...

I Need To Calm Down

My anger grows like tsunami
I need to calm down as fast as it can be
I fear it is the beginning of another Katrina
My real nature is beautiful as shallow water

My heart is beating very high
I think I will lose my control
It is not a good experience
I want to relax and have peace

I need to do something very soon
let me think what can I do for that
I fear I will explode like a volcano
It may destroy other peoples lives too

I don't want to do it
I don't want to hurt anyone
I want to forgive and forget
What others done wrong to me

I looked around for real help
I didn't see anyone with a specific plan
I closed my eyes and pray for a moment
Like a miracle I feel I am being helped

Faded Memories

Though the destination is our own choice
Departure is always painful
Especially when we leave the ones 
We really want to keep for ever

But there are occassions
We really should depart
We wish to stay
And we know we can't

So we keep them in memory
On the upper layer of our mind
We try not to forget
We will be able to do it for sometime

Then those thoughts will fade
We won't see it clearly as we used to be
They won't inspire you anymore
We face new realities

I think it is ok
We need new faces
That will keep us going 
If not we would stuck in the past

Past is good to remember sometimes
Past is not meant to live
Present is the only reality
Future is not revealed to us yet

Talk To Me One More Time.....

Nothing more I want to ask
You don't have to spend hours
What I am asking is....
Just talk to me one more time

There are nothing that can't be resolved
I don't think there are serious issues
Give me your few minutes
I believe it will help us both

Now the clouds filled our minds
Clouds of doubts and confusions 
Let it get steamed and turn into rain
Downfall of rain will cool our hearts

We are carrying that pain
Since something happened between us
Put those thoughts on the table
I promise I will try to be honest 

You can make your decisions
Just after we talk or later 
Then stay or go 
Do whatever you like

If you stay .......
I will love you more and more
Or if you leave.......
Still I will love and won't bother you again
