A labored flight..
Wings of lead
Something holds me down
Gnaws at my back
These wings are not mine
They will not take me
They give only hope
Not the freedom I desire.

I wish upon a star.

I see it fall away

I wish again…

maybe the shooting star

takes my wish to the great heavens

I see it crash…

Right beside my feet

I wince

The splinters pierce my flesh

Was that my wish

To feel something

I TRY AND I TRY AND I TRY

Had a thought today.
We work hard....most of us...trying to make more money!
Travel...gather memories.
We are always searching for the right partner....
Always trying to get more stuff...
Gain more knowledge..
Make more friends...
In preparation for what....JUDGMENT DAY!!!
I plan to live my life..today....lets see...

peek-a-boo....just checking in...

TODAY

Dil pe ne bojh koi bhari rakhiye, zindagi jung hai, is jung ko jaari rakhiye.
.......As said by a guy fighting cancer

P.S. Isabella Blow dies of cancer today....

THE END OF WINTER

Once upon a fire burning bright,
A chilly winter night.
Neither earned nor lost a dime,
Going along just like....

Then something,
A stolen glance?
Maybe a look,
An innocent smile.

Oh how,
We rose above ourselves,
Above everyone else.

One dance with a stranger,
A fantasy came to life.
One delighted fool,
That....was I.

THE VIEW FROM A CAFE

The cool winter sun,
Casting shadows dark.
Playing hide and seek,
With sand pits in the park.

Flowers on the trees,
Shades of grey and white.
White ,the smile of love,
Grey , the fear of it.

Keeping with the pretence,
That life is standing still,
I wait a million years,
To say all i feel.

Words may mean a lot,
But it's easier to speak.
Easier than feeling,
And letting on in deed.

LOVE SONG

I live my life and long,
Live by the words of a song.
Song of love,
Song of heartache,
Or maybe a song of hope.
The words are a blur,
But the feeling quite clear.


Every once in awhile,
Life comes full circle.
And the song is played again.
My heart feels a drain,
No emotion left to hold onto,
No charm no ambition.

Then long after yet again,
I hear the words,
An unfamiliar tune,
But the emotion,the same.
I try to run so i may not drown.
But there it is, the hope of love,
Better things to come?
And try as i may,
I cannot get away.

ONE FOR THE ROAD

The blinding beauty of the sun...
Ever present and radiant...
Never failing to awake at dawn.
Like...a love lorn lover...
Her heart who hath not won.

The road lined with street lamps...
Casting shadows on those walking by..
Shadows come and go...
These lamps keep shining on.
Like....the bride of a king at war...
Sheltering all but seeking the one.

The famed life of the rising star...
The 75mm world...
The wealth, the women, the world at his feet.
Pining.....for the love he left behind....
Too far now....to retreat.

All these people...
All....fighting for love...
All......losing to it?

SCARED?

I'm scared i will forget,
the touch......of your skin.

I'm scared i won't recall,
the disarming smile.

I'm scared i won't remember,
the way......your eyes stayed on mine.

I hope i don't forget,
the beautiful kiss...that melted me each time.

I know i will never get enough of you,
i know.....i will be back for more.

But i do miss you,
that too.......i know.

Until i see you again,
and look into.......those smiling eyes!

keep your eyes softly on mine,
keep your lips curled in a smile,
the door closed tight,
so we are hidden out of sight.

tell me the story of your life,
i promise i shall listen,
to every word...every sigh..

why did she walk away,
why did he change his mind,
tell me of the little smiles,
the way you felt,
each time you kissed...for the last time.

the beauty of the first winter rose,
the mirth at her preten.
did he love with all his heart
were you the reason she could not see

tell me each day...
so i may know a little more
than i did the day before.
