For the favor you did but never let me forget,
for the “no pressure” laced with regret.
for every “no big deal” that came with fine print,
I paid with a thank you,
and smiled like a flint.
For all the gifts that came with a clause,
For the cheers while citing my flaws,
For every applause wrapped in dissent,
I returned with a thank you,
as empty as the intent.
For every "helpful tip" served cold as a sneer,
For the pats on the back that came with a leer.
For the free counsel that came with a leash
I muttered a thank you,
then moved out of reach.
For the “just looking out” that clipped my wings,
For the fake "take care" with invisible strings,
For the hugs that came with terms to agree,
I nodded a thank you,
then quietly set myself free.
For all the words dressed in sugar and spin,
for all the eyewash blurred what's within
You spoke in ribbons, but traded in brick—
so, here's my reply
nothing like thank you does the trick.

Let's not wait for tomorrow
When we have lot of hours today
Let's not miss yesterday
Breathing in lot of sorrows
Heroes will always pass
Records will always crash
Those on a mission
Are the only ones with the vision
To others, you're blind
Sometimes you feel left behind
Your plan
Might have nowhere to land
But purpose
Always pose
And stare
At you till you're stirred
If your craft doesn't make you cry
Then your tears are an eyewash
Why wait when you can try and retry
Maybe all you need is a brainwash
Not everyone had to sleep to have a dream
Not everyone needed eyes to see
But we all want everything to hear us when we arrive, knowing that all things hear even the deaf
It's okay to cry
But don't faint
Let's try and retry and never stop
WE ARE MORE THAN WE THINK WE ARE.

Into the station
a train is coming
click, clack, clicker,
choo, choo,
toot...toot
you
show the shared
lives of time and history
When you are coming to me
--If money hadn't slipped through us,
love would not have faded
or tarnished--
Put one foot on the train stairs,
grabbed the handle with,
one hand and bowed head
like words with eyewash,
following a slow-moving train: i
one point; you remains
Frozen snows on the ground,
left and staying
overcoat fell over it
like all know.

Come to me with a heart truly sincere,
I am fed up of your games and eyewash;
And your pure pretenses in every sphere,
Stop existing like a capricious bosh...!
Don't act like living and live like acting,
Though life has sequence of action each stage;
When acts, by flaunts and flirts, turn distracting,
Life remains void ever; an empty page...!
Hypocrisy is not a stage-manner,
Potent actors are never white-washed tombs;
Truth, often, like a rigorous scanner,
Pierces through even tightly secured rooms...!
Learn from flowers that never in life bluff,
Living a life fully true too is tough...!

Percy looked up into the sky
Just as a seagull flew by
Percy felt a big plop
That seagull had dropped
Something wet in Percy's eye

I am sure
A no brainer
that fought like sin,
Too much aggro
for want of snogging,
Lay in a fix of drugs
in shooting gallery,
Wearing the best of
the bib and tucker,
Became a crapshoot,
a bunny rabbit
that wore long johns,
Wandered in main drag
with ghetto blaster,
Out of the rathole
up to a ritz,
Dreams smoked
as fortitude failed,
Guts were an eyewash,
I was no fool,
Giving up a think
will turn on,
A woman of today
I wasn't born yesterday !

O God brainwash me O God eyewash me
To let me see the true reality
O God brainwash me by your great thought
Give me wisdom to thank you a lot
O God eyewash me by your sweet light
Wake me up and make me feel alright
O God come to me in my sweet dream
Please don’t sink my ship cause I can’t swim

Standing portrait of impassible,
Another added pace of traditional is but a conflicting mystery.
Heart teary dwell,
Soul overwhelm journeyed.
Walking millions,
Opposite inline,
Destine in image ants,
Commanded,
Harmony stream of what laid forth in vision quest thinking,
Same is the mastering thought,
Told this is it,
Nothing more,
Daring not to question.
Staying breathless,
Musing,
Why the cease,
Dreams renewed,
Speaking,
Desiring it's own identity unique,
Broking the rules,
Going against the flow of every other daily.
Strolling passed with lonely steps,
Millions watch cursing looks.
Numerous-
Inner thoughts,
Discharged eyewash hidden in the soul,
"If only I can venture strength in such hope."
"How I hate the distance I travel now."
