The song that stamped awesomeness locked within me,
That which I could only see through hearing,
My admiration,
My crushes,
And crashes,
The young girl that saw so much,
Had so much strength,
And enough wit to go through it all.
Giving so much to myself when few did,
Inhaling all that comes with being with me,
Knowing oneself,
The being that breathes fire under water,
The one whose happiness is limited,
But deep joy knows no limits,
The being that sees beauty in all seen and heard.
That girl that defied all odds,
All shortcomings,
And came forth to be the awe we see today.
All the goodness oozing all over flesh of thine flesh.
Silence of the heart does not always mean peace,
My daughter has taught me it means one is human enough,
To know the thin line between sacrifice and reward.
Never once did I think I would go back,
Again,
To the very place I so dreaded,
Having locked away all that is me,
How could I do it?
How would I?
Death is not something you make cheap talk with.
It is like the bitter landlord,
Who believes all are against his quest to be rich.
I should not have been toying with the possibility of going to the other side.
Of the chance to see that which I believed was gone forever.
Life is good.
It gives us experiences we never thought we would have.
If you can imagine it,
Then that's not it.
It will probably be better than you imagined.
That's why we say 'unimaginable'.
We can never outdo life.
He who has created enough inspiration for Kings and heads,
Pieces known to bag awards.
Love, death and life,
They all have one thing in common.
They have us.
But on his deathbed,
That's all he asked for,
The breeze on his face,
On a rainy day,
Watching the raindrops race to the pane,
So is the way of life,
Though others lead and others follow,
We all go down,
To the same window pane.
The thrill of a child's fingers,
On his face,
Her innocence,
Reaching out to him,
Feeling every ounce in it.
The morning sun's rays,
That present with it a new chance,
To right the wrongs done,
Or come to terms,
With wrongs undone.
The lover's touch,
One who made his face burn with pleasure,
Of the joy the heart knows every time,
She called his name,
Of the anxiety of a forbidden affair,
Looking at them,
And them you,
Saying not what not the earth knows,
But the two of you,
Of a mother's love.
That he longed to have,
Even though he felt it for a few days,
It was fulfilling.
Just like the deep laughter that came,
With life's simple joys,
But here he is now,
Almost saying goodbye,
Though life leaves him,
He still liveth.
Cry not child,
Even though the path is dark,
Morning is yet to come
Weep not,
For it's at the darkest hour,
That promises are fulfilled
Wisdom comes not in a nightfall,
But in days seen,
And things done
Count it all joy,
That you have seen the light of day,
And dark of night
It is he who burns the midnight candle,
That has much to eat,
When the day comes
See the good in all deeds,
Both good and bad,
For every man has each side
Turn your eye to those who build you
Both young and old,
They will help you
Forgive and forget,
Fill thine heart with thoughts,
Of goodness and wholeness,
Only then will you reap the fruits of joy
Never you turn a blind eye,
To those in need,
You might tread that path tomorrow
Bear children,
Whose names you will not shudder to mention,
Let their light shine in somebody,
For it is through them,
That we keep the soul upright
Set goals,
Make mistakes
Let the past be the past,
But carry its lessons to your future
Bring joy,
To those who cross your path,
Be who they need.
In the path of life,
We always switch routes
Of chances lost and opportunities gained,
Of ways closed down and paths opened,
Of love lost and hate conceived,
So is the way of life
That nothing is constant,
That all chances ought to be protected,
To be held close,
Lest they pass us by.
Of routes travelled,
Of people met,
Of lives lost,
Of babies born,
So is the way of life that touches everyone in many a way,
Though we all live one life.
Of earth shaken,
Of rising sun,
Of dirt in the heart,
Of shine on the flesh,
So is the path we all tread,
Though not all are aware
Of days seen,
Of days unseen,
Of dark shone bright,
Of candles blown out,
Of ways brighter than we imagined,
So is the chance birthed,
For every soul known to the world.
Of crying babies and angered fathers,
Of sad mothers and lost brothers and sisters,
Of tears shed and teeth gnawed,
Of anger conceived and revenge instilled,
So is the heart of the enemy,
Who seeks justification of all wrong-doings.
Of people met,
Of days seen,
Of nights revelled,
Of love made,
So is the beauty that life offers,
Be careful to take it.
I dare you to believe in love,
To believe in loving somebody so much,
It makes you cry.
Love someone so bad,
You are willing to share them,
I dare you,
To find one person you will dedicate your life to,
Cherish none but them,
You may fall,
But there is no reason,
Why you shouldn't believe again.
I dare you not to wait around,
For when they will come around.
Take the bold step,
And help them believe.
I dare you to look at someone,
And let them see through you.
Put aside all you are,
Let them in,
To see all that you have worked so hard to hide from all.
I dare you to make them believe,
On the same love you hold so dear,
So close.
Your love for them,
Even when they do not believe.
I dare you to open up,
Be vulnerable,
Let yourself loose,
High to the sky,
Yet weak like a thread.
I dare you to let your heart beat for a stranger,
Let your feelings be filled with them.
With the rising and the setting of the sun,
No time as short as when they spend a day with you.
No night as beautiful as one seen through their eyes.
I dare you,
To live in the sphere that is their name.
Forget about right and wrong,
Throw readiness out the window.
Keep holding on to what you feel for them,
What you believe.
I dare you to be selfless,
And focus all your energy on a single soul,
No thoughts of what, why, or if,
Running to them,
Talking to them,
Running on empty,
So they can be satisfied.
Always ready to get them started.
I dare you to forget every part of you,
That does not remind you of them.
I dare you to believe in their love for you.
That they would do all that you do, and more.
I dare you to cry when it hurts,
Because they are not there anymore.
And you do not know the first thing about moving a step ahead.
I dare you to believe they are more concerned about you than they have ever been about anyone else.
I dare you to love him,
Even when it doesn't feel right.
And everyone is asking you not to.
I dare you to stand up for what you have.
To block out all parties that may drain all that you have worked on.
To refuse to lose any more,
To refuse to fall,
To refuse to hurt,
To refuse to sit on the fence,
But act on your belief.
I dare you to see the real thick and thin,
And still be there to believe,
And to love,
Even when all sand is sinking around you.
Be ready to turn no page that does not have them written on it.
I dare you to believe in love.
I dare you.
...I fought,
a good fight?
Perhaps not.
Down on my knees,
I shouldn't have brought you in,
I shouldn't have been open,
I sure shouldn't have told you are the best I have seen.
First time I open up to you,
and put myself up for loneliness.
Swirling in the depth of my own tears,
The same road that brought me here
Now all too lonely.
My calm you eroded,
My best you threw away.
I shouldn't have been your bait.
Wipe out all my makeup,
Make up for all I've lost,
Bun up all my mane,
The freedom of my pony,
That's what I'll emulate.
Lose my sleek gown,
Fold up my farmer's shirt.
Be real to me, myself and I.
If I gave,
You deserved it.
Pull me up,
Put me down,
A chance I have got,
To search again,
For love I am yet to know.
Treat me right,
I'll pull you up.
Treat me wrong,
You'll die alone.
My axe is sharper than knife,
My spade all too the same.
Dig it up in depths that my love for you went.
Tonight,
I bury your memories,
Though the love lives on with me.
