Getting away
Trying hard to get away from that past,It still clings to me no matter I run so fast. Left behind the roads that always went the same way, The chimes you loved, the songs that we used to play, Those long evenings and those warm nights,The sound of that laughter still echoes my mind. The feeling that you are not, but once you were mine,The pain in m... more...

Reason
 Reasons make you laugh, reasons make you cry,Reasons give you wings, reasons make you fly. Reasons worth a season, reasons worth a life,Reasons worth a beat and make your heart jive. Reasons make you live, reasons make you try,The only reason you are alive is shunning you to die. Reasons will find you and take away, wherever you may hide.Reasons c... more...

All for love
To live and hold your life for love is what all we want, and the way it should,What we fail to understand is that it needs to be unleashed and released for good. “Love”, hard to understand what it is,To be felt and, let go is how it is.       Still living for that moment when you find love which is true,Then it is just a feeling to make you feel sp... more...

Middle of nowhere
To reach that point in life where blurred is the vision.There seems no purpose of heart; you fail to find any reason. Lost in your thoughts, still don’t know what you are thinking,The world is all around you but you fail to find any linking. You know your purpose of existence; you seem to know your goals,You are trying and giving your best as a who... more...

Perceptions
Fallen in love when I discovered,Falling out was for sure, emotions cluttered. Losing the sight which appreciated beauty and life,Losing insight to know the difference between, a smile and a sigh.Losing the heart that desired and craved.Losing faith in faith, trust betrayed. May be the desire was too untrue to be achievable.May be the goal was too ... more...

Before you give up.
There are times when you don’t get reasons to be brown.When the path is lonely and life pulls you, down.You wonder when your hardships would end.Is there is going to be anyone who could lend you a hand. Then if you have to learn to walk, you have to learn to fall first.Sometimes you have to dig a well just to quench your thirst. If you want to turn... more...

Ignorant learnings
We all live in a self-appreciated pretense,Then all good or bad times end. How dark the night is, it fades away.The morning is new and so is the day. Life, if ever gives u a fresh stance,You should start afresh, should leap a fresh glance. We all have our pasts and we all live our fears.There is a new beginning at every end to wipe our tears. No, m... more...

Between me, you and God.
My wants exceeded my needs,I wanted love and now my heart bleeds. I wanted happiness, I wanted peace,I got melancholy; my heart will not ever be at ease. I wonder whether it was all worth,I wanted to rise high but I went in dearth. You needed security, you needed strength.You used my soul, you used me at length. The moment you got what you needed,Y... more...

Forlorn
Certain things in life are not meant to be,They do not turn out the way you want them to be. The more you cling to them, the more you get betrayed.They leave you with nothing but you wish they had stayed. There were moments of triumph; there were moments of glory, Those were the times but now are a different story. You are not the one I seek anymor... more...

Games people play
Different strokes for different folks, The games people play,Keeping their integrity at bay.Trying to prove them all the time,Forgetting the difference between a quarter and a dime. The decisions they make,Their conscience at stake,They kill their integrity and having lost their soul.They seek importance at the cost of their whole. End of the day, ... more...

Be better prepared for setbacks
The problems/setbacks happen every day, so expect them and learn to deal with them. Things do not always go as planned. You are not being a pessimist or a negative thinker by expecting problems or setback; you are just being realistic and prepared to survive any challenge in life as a way to protect yourself. Problems, setbacks, mistakes and losses...  more...
