DEATH
Death is today
Death is tomorrow
Death leaves us astray
Death is sorrow.
It mars the faces
That were once so beautiful
It wipes off the smiles
That were once so peaceful.
Many are those
Who deny death
Beg for mercy
Fight for breath.
But few accept
Death’s cold embrace
Lose hope for life
And silence they chase.
Oh, but death’s not so cold
And mercy it shows
For such defeat...

DUSK
When the sun retreats
Steady and slow,
It basks the earth
In an other-worldly glow.
Birds shy away
In a hurry to their nest
And all hearts seem
To beat a little less.
Emotions seem to stir
Sombre and hollow
Unease fills the heart
For the night that follows.
Hands clasp together
As the wind gets colder
Beneath the twilight skies,
A head rests on a shoulder.
It is a time,

A NEW PHASE OF LIFE
A new phase of life
And exploring a future
Of endless possibilities
With a wildly beating heart
Ready to take risks
But a question nagged me hard
Like a constant headache
Will I fit in with the people?
Is it so necessary?
But glad I am today
For I chose a different path
Embraced the change
And scoured roads unknown.
What others felt unnecessary
I felt empowering
Where others ask...

SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE
Somewhere in the middle
I think I lost myself a little
I suppressed a part of me so hard,
when I search for it, its somewhere far.
I wish to see her one more time
I think I shouldn't lose her shine.
Perhaps it's too late to turn back now
Perhaps I have changed somehow.
But it's never too late to change yourself
So I mustered courage and told myself
I'll win her back for she isn't yet...

FREE
I am a careless bird
Born to be free
I will explore the skies,
Where no one's ever been.
You think I'm arrogant,
With my foolish little goals
But all I can see is,
Your envy for my free soul.
You try to control me,
Grab the reins and play unfair
But when I disobey,
You say it's just care.
Or are you afraid?
For I won't follow your rule,
And fail to be a puppet
And an obedient...

THE ONES IN OUR HEART
It is difficult to see
our loved ones part,
for they are the ones
close to our heart.
One moment you are waving
as a tear slips by
the next they are gone
with the blink of an eye.
Life becomes too ruthful once
like the grains of sand
our dear ones too
slip from the palm of our hand.
Alas we must face all blows
for we are human beings
built to wade through times
so ha...
