Always Be

a friend you were, and still are
priceless and rare your crown today
the comfort of your friendly smile 
the words of your spiteful lips
but friends we will always be

your strength and fears are mine also
your happiness a high stand for me
so my dear times might get rough
and test the power of this bond
yet friends we will always be

the joy of walking in the same path
and stomp out those that see it wrong
endeared to me you are my friend
a friend i sort, a sister i found
so friends we will always be

so when windy and stormy threats prevail
i'll stand and hold you to the ground
and if we start to lose our stance
my hand in yours we will survive
and friends we will always be

fear not my friend this time shall pass
with us in victory, yes you will see
and when the night arrives in the day
do not forget me as you sleep
my friend you will always be...

She

she is a sparkling jewel 

all can see her shimmer 

she is a throb of daffodils

and lilies in the garden shore

she is a captivating police

and arrest my Spaniard eyes

she is a word spectalamo!

and that is still unheard of

she has got strength in her smile

and it spreads to everyone around her

yet she is for me...

Stranger In My Home

Stranger In My Home

my home is like a carousel its lost the meaning of parallel,
it's weird, it's small, it's short, it's wide and has made me give up my sleeping tide,
my home in which I sleep and breathe has left me with no humble kith,
my carousel moving round and round spinning till my eyes loses its sound.

life and it's mysteries, if the past were to accept me, nostalgia would be my golden age my home seemingly a cage would lose all entities of its rage.

the curtains, sheets, chairs and bedding they embrace my every treading,
I sit and stare at the light and the words elude my sight,
my home's lost the scent of home, I miss it like it's lost its dome,
where am I? so unfamiliar & mundane, emptiness of cluttered atmosphere,
it's all too blur, I'm a stranger in my home.

Ever Green

i cannot tell you am sure 
my days are not of awe
i spend it in my hidden tree
with leaves and roots of fading dreams 
yet so ever green...

you am still unsure of
doubts i know are tough 
but change the hue of my atmosphere my dear 
from green to humble, stainless and rare
yet so ever green...

when my hope rises high 
your lying lips deny
for every hurt and pain you strain
my tears you will not claim
ever green my days remain..

i am stronger after every bite
i will continue my humble plight
but when your teeth is sunk deep, to drive my heart insane 
don't blame me if i part this lane 
and embrace my green again...

thoughts of happiness we might chase
to change the mystery of this place
but where i am i still remain 
this place so ever green and the same

anywhere with you i will go
to make this right even in the cold
but when the days become ours to mold
remind me to say i was told
as we embrace the green i sold...

yet so ever green...

Imperfectly Perfect

the disarray of your atmosphere 
deep in subtle mess
yet your smile 
ca,ms like the sea
how imperfectly perfect

brooding in your thoughts of pain
carved their names in your heart
your gift from HIM you hide
isolating yourself from hurting eyes
yet your star a symbol of hope
how imperfectly perfect

rough on diverged roads
scared of the wrong choice
yet a smile you keep on board
deceptive they say, but smart i believe
how imperfectly perfect

disturbed is your heart 
yet happy for your mate
unknown to them
soulful is your act
so imperfectly perfect

Guilty

guilt ruins me for my crime
though i torture my mind
i also feel torture in my heart
physical appearance, deceptive
my guilt holds me no freedom

captured by my own deeds 
i hear laughter 
laughter of defeat
now time cannot return
mistakes would have corrections

but i am haunted by my guilt 
i try separation, impossible
in the depth of my heart
i cry for help, no answer
then i ask, is it a crime?

my guilt answers...

My Sleeping Heart

my heart is asleep
my soul wide awake
my voice sings
yet my heart dreams on

the pines and cravens of a sleeping heart
haunts and taunts my spirit 
for i have been to a land
a land i cannot comprehend 
felt things i cannot explain

so be good to me
oh vast, but fearful mind
stop your search
and find a way
to awaken my SLEEPING HEART...
