I said, 'Okay! Let's play a little game'

I said, "Okay! Let's play a little game.
I'll pick a number, and I'll pick a name.
And if you can guess neither,
you'll have to watch my Peter,
while I paint your new door and the new frame."

Don'T Play a Man In Life

Don't play a man in life ?
A man is not something
To play my sister
Because he can leave 
You at any moment
If you don't take care for
Him and 
You will start 
To complain in all four 
Corners 
Of the World later. 
When a woman is 
behaving  badly
She is turning 
to be problem 
In the eyes 
of her husband.

Now We Play a Selfless Game

As we sit inside our homes
We sit together and alone
change the world we have known
A brand new side of life is shown

Life so selfish and fast paced
our aims, ambitions out of place
The daily grind, the daily race 
we now live without this the case 

We seek to further for selfish gain 
now we play a selfless game
a boat which we all row the same
to keep ourselves and close ones safe 

And how the air now tastes clear 
the wildlife which does appear 
appreciation in national cheer 
it took the fear to get us here

But now we know the good of change
neighbours whom are not estranged
Togetherness at first quite strange
all to stop the germ exchange 

An understanding we now include 
social distance not seen as rude 
I do it for me I do it for you
And the rest do it for each other too

A change of life unforeseen 
a care and unity never been
Humankind within a dream
A human race we had never seen 

From these moments we see the best
with a new anxiety our only stress 
as we lay our past ways to rest
I hope that soon you are my guest

For You, I'Ll Play a Lullaby

For you, I will play this tune,
So you too can fall asleep soon.

For you, I made a bed out of this blanket,
So that you may rest upon its soft fabric.

For you, I will hum along as well,
So you can be lulled into a deep slumber.

Don'T Play a Dirge, When I'M No Longer

Don't play a dirge, when I'm no longer
Cozy dreams and fickle nights we used to ponder
Shut down the roads; close off that phone, 
For I am no more. 
Hold not a vigil, even though we're really prone

Rather, just say a few happy things, 
A poem or two that are far from gloom 
With a few friends and then lay under the stars 
Where you'll remember me, as the anchor to your heart
Like the moon always holds the stars.

My everlasting North, my lighthouse 
You are the anchor to my soul 
Remember me for my smiles like the calm in the night
And not for my hurt and anger like those raging tempests

Although I may seem far 
Look at the night sky, you see our star
Remember that I'll be near
Even though I won't be here.

Like that simple kiss in December 
That we always seem to remember 
My heart knows not of extravagant things. 
So light a candle in my memory, only one.

Though cozy dreams and fickle nights we used to ponder. 
Don't play a dirge, when I'm more longer.

I Play a Little Melody On the Piano So the Angels Sing With Me

I PLAY A LITTLE MELODY ON THE PIANO SO THE ANGELS SING WITH ME

All that you've done to me
Every negative thing
All that you take from me
am gonna forgive 
and play a little melody on the piano 
Me is some of lifes preaged passages
All is forgotten
For just the Lord does
All is forgiven
Lord are there pianos 
Pianos in heaven
Well I think I can, I can play a little melody
Oh, Lord God can the angels sing along with me

Let's Play a Mind Game

Let me guess

You got curious seeing the topic

You wanted to know what it says

Oh you got surprised !

Just a wild prediction

You skim through to know more

Did you get message

You are looking for ?

I hope no ! So far,

Our Mind is like a kid

You give it thoughts to munch

First you anticipated  it’s interesting post

Seeing title , your mind believed

After reading, you may have

Second thoughts , so your mind lost interest

Always filter what you tell your mind indirectly

Because you shape your mind images

Make it positive and confident

Feed it constructive thoughts

Agreed !!
Now you might be smiling ,

Or nodding your head,

After all it’s  small mind game

To get your attention

I predict you will surely hit like

If you understand above points ??

Let's Play a New Game

Dedicated to this promise am I 
I swore that one day I would again look you in the eye

Many Moons and many Suns have come and gone
But through the Seasons of centuries I've lingered on

Loved many faces, lived many lives
Been all the places you've sold your lies

You see this world as a place for fun
For you to manipulate every living creature under the Sun

I just wanted to show you; just to let you know
That now I've found you there's no where to go

My old friend, my old comrade
Fallen we may be but we are not the same

The men and women you've made your slaves
You've played your game well but now you're out played

For I am here and here I will remain
My fallen angel; 

let's play a new game!

You Play a Part

take it from old school
who paided dues
for you too
walk tall
get off the dead wall
make a start
YOU PLAY A PART

Let Us All Play a Game

Player one ended his game
Chose to play a different game
It was titled Life

I Play a Requiem

I play a requiem	
The notes follow
The path of my tears
Down my stricken face
A requiem
For what I carry in my heart
Passion that has died
Leaving no hope for revival
Now to be enshrouded
In layer upon layer
Of misplaced trust
Deceitful dreams
And infertile words

I mourn, I weep
I rend my clothes
And keep
A vigil in this empty chamber
Of my heart
Guarding the dead
Beating my chest
In time with the requiem
That plays incessantly in my head
As I walk along the bier
Refusing burial rights
Hoping for a miracle of light

The requiem plays on
And I sit in a stupor
Exhausted...spent
Tears soaking my gown of mourning
Unable to make sense of it all

What will I do now?
How will I go on?
Without the beat of my heart
Without my little words
Without my passion

I play a requiem
embellishing each measure
with note memories and tears
A requiem for the dead
The impetus for me
To live on....

Lets Play a Game

One false move,
with one short breath,
opening my soul,
to someone i trust,
telling him all,
that matures to me,
thinking its okay,
we are meant to be.
Not knowing the truth,
that hides behind that smile,
should have known better,
but i was in denial.
His soft sweet lips,
his beautiful eyes,
full of compassion?
NO! full of secrets and lies.
Thought i found love,
my heart is such a fool,
you broke me apart,
that really isn't cool.
I'll move on though,
you cant keep me down,
the bittersweet game of love,
you were just another lost round.

If I Could Play a Flute Like Krishna

Baby if I could play my flute like Krishna
You would be attracted by my charisma

Baby you are my thought’s mania
It seems you are my utopia

Baby you are my love’s sweetest goal
You can make me a diamond from coal

Baby you are my hope to survive
Your negligence can burn me alive

Play-A Romantic Adventure

Written by the hands,
  Of James Matthew Barrie.
Came a remarkable play,
  Of four kids and a fairy.

Of a boy named Peter,
  Who took Wendy by the hand.
Leading her and her brothers,
  To the magic of Neverland.

With childish innocence,
  Written in every line.
This ingenious play,
  Stood the test of time.

For Peter never ages,
  He’ll never be a man.
Solely a boy forever,
  Thus.......Peter Pan.

With a little pixie dust,
  Off the wings of Tinker Bell.
Came a romantic adventure,
  In the words of a fairy tale.

Play-A-Lot

Play a lot as we always enjoy being just together.
Like kids we would burst our hearts with laughter.
Doing things so happy, having fun seems forever.
The two of us with giggles as if stopping is never.

Play a lot with you my Honey; I love it in the snow.
As we at each other the small ice we would throw.
The coldness of the weather made our cheeks glow.
The perfect joy we shared in our eyes clearly show.

Play a lot what a wonderful time spending with you.
We can do so many things even only with us two.
Whatever it takes there can be no reason to be blue.
Our relationship for me, in my heart is like a tattoo.
