A Sign

Give me a sign,

So I know you’re there.

Looking down on me,

From a place somewhere.

Don’t be too obvious,

For you just might scare,

This clueless crowd,

That rests over here.

If you try and be gentle,

As soft as you can,

All these weathered leaves,

Could turn to sand?

You don’t really need,

To make a mess,

I just need some kind,

Of a placid caress

A tender sprinkle,

From up above,

Or the enthralling fragrance,

Of a meadow upfront

A beam of luminosity,

From an azure sky,

Or the sustaining humming,

Of a creature in the night

And all I ask for is a delicate sign,

So that I could too come to realize,

That in this mellow place, I’m not alone,

And that you’re always nearby.

Brightness

Brightness fills my empty thoughts,

Now I feel a bit less lost.

Winter frost settles in,

 Headspin?

Morning breaks,

The sun comes up.

Ice to water,

Water to dust?

Time stops moving,

But the day moves on.

The evening has arrived,

 My thoughts collide.

Somethings wrong,

The mist seems clear.

Am I loosing my mind,

Is the end near?

And then I wake at 6 a.m,

Sunlight spills into the room.

Brightness fills my empty thoughts,

Now I feel a bit less lost. :)

I'm Not Me

“I can’t sleep.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna sleep.

But everyone else in asleep.

And the lights are out”.

“I can’t speak.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna speak.

But everyone else is conversing.

Spilling their minds out”.

“I can’t work.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna work.

But everyone else is busy.

Burning the midnight oil”.

“I can’t eat.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna eat.

But everyone else is eating.

And that’s all they do”.

“I can’t learn.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna learn.

But everyone else is learning.

Things they’ll never need to”.

“I can’t feel

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna feel.

But everyone else is feelin’,

Things even they don’t want to”.

“I can’t calculate.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna calculate.

But everyone else is analyzing,

Figures they don’t need to”.

“I can’t compose.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna compose.

But everyone else is furnishing,

A melody or two”.

“I can’t be free.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna be free.

But everyone else has the freedom,

To be some kind of visionary”.

“I can’t escape.

Well the truth is,

I don’t wanna escape.

But everyone else is leaving,

This godforsaken mystery”.

“I’m not me.

I’m you.

You seem lost.

So I am too”.

We Need. We Want

And what we need is just another melody,

To calm our hearts,

And to make us look,

Beyond that fence of disbelief.

And what we’ll do,

To set ourselves free,

From this world of mystery,

If only you could see?

And what we need,

Is just another broken heart,

So we can go back to the start,

And learn from our mistakes.

And what we’ll do,

For  freedom that we want,

A melody we crave,

Or an everlasting faith?

And what we want,

Is not what we need,

And all we’d do,

To make our dreams come true?

Mystery

Will you paint me a little picture?

Some kind of scenery,

To my specifications will you draw?

An awesome mystery!

Be sure to make an ocean,

A deep blue sea;

Some treasures resting beside,

A coral reef!

You have to make some hills,

With snow covered peaks,

Where life and love stand still,

And only silence speaks!

I also want a swamp,

Full of filth and greed,

You’ll have to use the dullest,

Blacks and greens!

A desert with those dunes,

Of grainy sand,

And crops which seem to prick,

When held in thou hands.

A forest is needed too,

Where the rain just never stops,

And all those creepers-crawlers,

Seem to live and rot.

Don't forget to make the forces,

Of fire, ice and wind,

For this world is not complete,

Devoid of all these little things!

Darling will you paint me,

Some kind of scenery,

Just don't forget to add,

That bit of mystery.

Patience Perhaps

As I lay on the hammock with my headphones plugged in, and looking up I saw that I was surrounded with tall palm trees. Tall trees that bore dried up leaves, struggling to breathe. 

Radiating immense heat and light, the sun seemed to be making things a bit too bright. And I lay there drenched in sweat from head to toe. 

My Gibson lay in the dried up grass beneath me, alone, and waiting to be played. 

My book seemed to be placed upside-down, waiting to be opened and read and a plate of food stared at me, waiting to be had. 

“How I would love a tall, Ice-cold glass of lemonade…”, I thought to myself. 

The scorching heat of the sun had made it impossible for me to strum, eat or even fall asleep. It had brought this lethargy upon me. 

My eyes became uneasy and my mind weary. Or was it the other way around? 

“Could it snow right now? Could the clouds just erupt or the thunder just strike?” 

The ever-rising glare of the morning star seemed to have had a severely damaging impact on my memory and thought process. Not that there was much to think about anyway. 

I was surprised that the sharp rays could break through the thick cover of the palm trees, even though the leaves were dry, I figured they would at least be some kind of a shed. But clearly I was proven wrong. 

The rays were a force to reckon with. The sun was a fighter, nature’s warrior, trained never to give up. It would battle it out till the end. 

My blood boiled, I felt as if my veins were about to implode. 

“Is there no end to this? Can’t I simply escape?” 

I couldn’t go inside the house, I had been locked out.There was only one option left. I had to indeed wait it out. 

There was no escaping the wrath and fury of the morning star. 

All I could do was to bear the pain. For maybe this is a lesson in life which I needed to learn. A lesson of Patience perhaps?...And there was only one way to learn it. 

The hard way. The way we all dread. 

I could only do but wait, wait till my savior, the moon or the evening would come. 

Because then the sun would have to set and I, well I would be relieved of this pain I felt.

To Live In A Dream

Would you live in a dream. Knowing you could never wake up? Would you risk your shot at ever meeting your fate? Even if it were to die unknown. Would it not be easier dying, Knowing that you’ve lived? Or you could live in a dream. Never knowing what reality truly feels like. Would you still choose to avoid life ? Even though it kills in the end. To live in a dream; Where the air is stale, The flowers never bloom, And the sun never shines. Would you still risk your chance of knowing what it truly feels like, to be....alive?

The Light Divine

Don’t be afraid to walk with me, 
I can lead you to the light divine. 

Don’t be afraid to come along, 
I can tell what is right or wrong.
 
Take my hand and dive with me, 
Into the world of hopes and possibilities.
 
The lights are dim and the road is long, 
But I can take you there safe and sound.
 
We’ll make the journey to the other side, 
Where our hopes and dreams can come to life.
. 
Grasp my hand and come along, 
I can take you to the place where you belong. 

Lost In Love

When I think of love,
I think of you.
When I think of you,
My heart does cry.

And  when I weep for you,
I can't help but wonder why.

Were you and I such a lie?

People say, “What a waste”,
We lost our love in such a haste

.
The reason we fell apart?
And so our love did depart.
We've chosen separate paths,
And have ripped each other's hearts.

Though I still can't help but wonder why,
Were you and I such a lie?

Let Me Go

Slowly and silently you walk by, 
Your footprints upon the sands of time, 
Time stops moving, 
But your vision remains alive. 

Your subtle voice echos throughout, 
While I gaze unconsciously into the waves crashing by. 

Your calm touch, 
Nourishes my soul, 
And leaves me thinking, 
About it all. 

Your gentle stare into my eyes, 
Makes me feel like all’s alright. 

Like a feather you float, 
Through the air. 
You instill in me hope, 
And drive away the fear. 

Like the waves in front of me, 
I could to be free, 
But only you could bring, 
This freedom upon me. 

Lift me up and tell me so, 
Do you love me enough to let me go?

A Cry For Help

I wait for you to come and rescue me,
to save me from this nightmare I live in.
This world is a menace,
This life is unfair.
It's a devils mind,
full of evil deeds,
and its surely not a place for me.
I call out to you o' friend of mine,
Listen to this plea of mine,
Reach me before I run out of time.
Its been a while now and I've been waiting, 
On a long and lonely highway.
For you've moved on,
But I still remain here,
Reach me before I fall and tear.

Heavenly Skies

Everyday, every moment,
I searched for this peace,
My life is at its end,
and I've searched everywhere.

Each day, each moment,
I searched yet failed,
The time I've lost,
I cannot retrieve again.

Heavenly skies,
I looked for you,
But the malice that surrounded me,
I couldn't see through.

My days are over,
Feel far from sober,
Feeling closer to hell,
Drifting farther from Heaven.

Yet, in time I realized,
That the emptiness I felt didn't let me see,
That all this while,
Heavenly skies were always above me.

The Metal Zone

I can’t feel the pain you feel,

Feel so void deep inside,

Can’t feel the love you feel,

Feels like everything’s about to collide.

Can’t love the way you do,

Can’t live the way you want me to,

Want control of my own soul,

Still I feel like an empty bowl.

In a metal zone,

I’m trapped alone.

In this empty shell,

It feels like hell.

I’m breaking down,

And I can cry for help.

But my soul is bound to drown,

And no one shall hear me yell.

For in this metal zone,

I shall die unknown.
