Adieu

Don’t know where I am going

Nor what plans life has for me

But one thing I know for sure

That I must go now.

Wonder what tomorrow has in store

Wonder what it will bring

I’ve had my share of pain and sorrows

And that is something I do not want

Somewhere along the way, we’ll meet

Share some jokes and laugh out loud

For we do not know where tomorrow we’ll be

Just alive and well, I hope we’ll be

Till some day, our land claims us back.

Muse

During those times when I feel so down

Your soothing voice assures me everything is okay

And you lift me up, from the depths of despair

During those thunderstorms and torrential rains

Through the raging thunder and flashes of lightning

I pull you closer to me, in a comforting embrace

During those times when I need to decide

On which path to take, I imagine what you would do

The answer appears, as magically you do

During those times when I don’t know what to write

An empty white space gaping blankly at me

I think of you, and the words just flow

During those times when I cheated on you

Pushing you away not acknowledging you are there

You force your way, back into my thoughts

During those nights when I stayed awake, thinking of you

You took me to those places I’ve never seen before

And showed me a love that is so real

I always wonder why you look at me so fondly

Even when I’ve been bad, mad, sad, glad and errant

I wonder why you never cease to love

And why you didn’t desert

Even when I proved to be so unworthy

I always wonder why you care

There is no reason why

Since there is nothing I have to give

And there is nothing that you expect

But when I need you, you are always around.

My muse.

My love.

Hurry Up!

Sixty seconds wasted

A minute is gone

The clock ticks on

A regimented march

Left, right, left

Cramming up so much

Whizzing past life

A moment wasted

A Moment gone

Hurry up, there’s no time

No time for breaks

No time to waste

No time, make haste

Let’s do it, fast

So hurry up

Slow and steady never won a race

Hurry up, there’s no time to waste

Fill up those moments between life and death

With something, don’t think, just do

Hurry up!

I am afraid!

Those little fears

Raising their sting

With their deadly venom

Leaving me numb

Those little fears

Deep down inside

As I look below

Afraid to take the plunge

Across that little stream

Those little fears

When I look into those glowing eyes

In the dark, eerie

I stand rooted

Scared to even breathe

Those little fears

As I look into the future

Perplexed and unsure

I stand still

Not daring, afraid

Those little fears

Those little doubts

Those little blocks

From somewhere deep within

Tormenting

Those little fears

Will cease to be

When I will

When I dare

Those little fears

It’s just games they play

in my mind.
