For all those times I spent with you,

For all those moments I never knew,

In days of sorrow and nights of pain,

You carried me through the blinding rain.

You are the one who will never stop believing,

You are the one who will never stop me from dreaming.

You walked with me in the darkest hour,

You trudged with me on the longest road,

The bridge is never too wide to cross over,

Being with you is smooth sailing on a river boat.


You are the one who will never stop me from dancing.

You held my hand in troubled times

to keep me from falling back in step.

You gave me more reasons in my rhymes

Your love keeps me coming back.


You are the one who will never stop me from loving.

When the dreamers have forgotten,

what their dream was all about.

And the liars come out to frighten

all the other searching crowd.

For they can see there is no other

than a worldly run for life,

reaching for that slipping hour,

to a certain awkward dive.

By the time we get much older,

we are already bound by greed.

Our hearts are now much colder

from the vice we love to feed.

Children are made of dreams,

but we harden them to signs

of gods and cents and sins

that has always kept us blind.

Now we lead them to the blind alley,

rushing them through their lives.

When they lose their own delity

we just blame them with our cries.

We drive them crazy with our sham

and lull them back when theyre awake.

In fear they walk on air and land,

with each aimless step they take.

What on earth have we done to them?

- to the children of our mistake.

Blind Al ley

I can still feel your passion next to me,

that night, that night when we were together.

Ive always wondered what its like to be

making love to a man in the arms of forever.

Ive slept alone

Ive slept without light,

I was dreaming in my sleep,I'm no more alone

you are here by my side

you are here within reach

So many men who have come and gone

who touched me with their sensuous song

but no one has ever lled me up,

like how you manage to seize my heart.

You Are Here

Ive been on my own

Ive gone far and wide,

I was wandering on my feet,

With you Im home

With you Im right

With you my loves for keeps.

Your kiss is ammable,

you re up my desires

you make me whole inside out.

Your body is delectable

you cause me a riot

weve got love and devotion tonight.

Ive slept alone

Ive slept without light,

I was dreaming in my sleep,

Im no more alone

you have come to my side

you are the one I need

If you're man enough to leave,

dont tell me all about it.

But if you think it's warm enough to give,

then show me what it is.

You're a hard man,

too hard to let go,

Hard, hard man,

you're a hard man to know.

If you're man enough to understand,

why do you throw away all you can?

If loving means nothing but pain

why are we doing back together again?

You're a hard man,

youre hard at your worst,

Hard, hard man,

you're a hard man to love.

Hard Man

You blame me for your delusions,

You come down on me with indignation.

What am I to do with this rage of yours?

What do I do if all is not lost?

You're a hard man,

too hard to let go,

Hard, hard man,

you're a hard man to know.

I'll be man enough to let you be,

Cos' I'm not all the woman you cut me out to be.

You can go and turn your back on me baby,

and I'll walk away a little farther to set you free.

You're a hard man to spurn

for what it's worth.

I too can be a hard womanwhen I run out of love.

We are nothing but common problems

You seem so caught up in your pride

I seem to take on with our ghts,

and yet we stay on with tearful delight.

You could never say I Love You,

though you know that was what

Ive always wanted to hear.

I could never be the rst

to let you know how I feel

and how much more I care.

You could have asked me rst,

but you didnt.

I could have loved you then,

but I couldnt.

We both know how much

we loved each other,

But we never said a word.

I dont know why were such common problems

to gather all these hurts.

CommonProblems

You would hold me and tell me things,

words of confusion as we sing.

Sometimes I know,

that it is love for sure.

Sometimes my world

would fade out in a blur.

Another night passes,

another day dies.

Still we are nowhere

living like dirty lies.

We dont look like lovers,

its a matter of choice,

We dont talk like friends,

we only raise our voice.

Maybe its about time

That time when things gotta change.

Somebodys gotta say goodbye,

So no one takes the blame.

I lie down on my bed

and write in my diary,

of the things youve said

that has made me feel so free.

Cos I heard from a friend

that you nd me quite a catch,

so every now and then

Im gonna trail you from the back.

So you better jump to it,

when I jump for you.

Youre going to spin all about

when my love get a hold on you.

Youve stirred something wild

inside this restless body.

So get ready for love

cos you make my diary.

Now Im up on the ceiling

Im going to bring it all down.

You give me this crazy feeling

which is going all over town.

One more page in my diary

and Im going to make it come true.In my heart Ill always carry,

my dreams of me and you.

Diary

I can sail through a thunder storm,

get blown off by a hurricane,

I can manage an earthquake,

but I can't stand a heartbreak.

You can lead me into darkness,

push me off the overhanging cliff.

Tell me tales of madness and horror,Keep me underwater.

But don't let my heart take the heat,

don't ever let it skip a beat.

I can walk on re,

skin myself with a plier.Stab myself blindly

But please, let me down easy.

Starve me from my meals,

not let me drink at all.

But please never let me feel

how a broken heart gets mauled.

Deep in the deepest ocean.

Buried in swampy regions.

Shut me away from all the seasons,

but dont break my heart, not for any reason.

DontBreak My Heart

Doors,

there are doors.

All I see is your shadow,the apparition of your love.

As I watch and see

the door.

Standing in front of me,

a partition to another world.

And it takes only one step.

One step in, or one step out

through that tempting

open door.

My doors are never closed,

and yet they have no reason to open.

But you have the key,

so dont let them rust

or you may soon nd

only broken doors.

A dismal rhythm drifts through

that devastated door,

crumbled to the oor.

A silent whistle

coming through,

while the hinges creak,

the knob is loose.

And here is the key

that had rusted when you left

the door ajar...

Doors

Echoes

Though you are not a stranger,

you are in many ways.

Though you are not my lover,

you make me think again.

Though you are free to choose,

you chose me as a friend.

Though we may not be together,

you make me feel love now and then.

You have grown among my songs,

all wrapped up in sheer bliss.

Waiting for someone just like you,

to step out of a kiss.

Emotions, they are making me,

more than I ever was.

Emotions that you bring

from the warm embrace of yours.

Emotions you did borrow,

from my sentimental touch.

And both of us are feeling,

what emotions do to hearts.

Come again O winds of sentiments

calming to our souls.

Let them ring out in wonderments,

and let it all unfold.

Listen to our beating hearts

and the echoes of our love.

Take your time

take it all in

take it all away

take it with you everywhere you go

you know how it is

you know how its like

you know you can touch it

you know you can nd it

wherever you goclose your eyes

and imagine the comfort

imagine the coolness

imagine the warmth

it washes you like rain

it bathes you like tears

For the Love

you wont lose it

you never will

now, thats eternity

thats the truth

these are the times

for you to look into yourself

and ask all the questions you have

and the answers are all there

just let it go

let yourself feel

the ow of destiny

the ow of the one and only

everyone needs

everyone wants

something that is real

something that is there

for us to take it freelyto take it without fear

let love go

let love ow

His eyes say love

but he doesnt show it.

His body speaks of affection

but he feigns a laughter.

His gesticulations are sweet

but hes mindful in character.

Should I ask him

for want of his company?

I am no more the school girl

I am no more dizzy, dreamy and helpless.The time for a woman is short,

when she knows she is in love again.

Gone are the days

of love letters and serenades.

Secret rendezvous and

private escapades.

I am his breakfast friend

and his conversational companion.

Someone to share thoughts

and joys of reunion.

But a womans heart is wary

and light in fairy tales

she is all femininewhen it comes to love and thrills.

He sits with me

with his desires glowing.

He walks closely

but not quite touching.

He smiles a smile

thats always been inviting.

For a woman to be in love

she has to do a lot of thinking.

His Ways

I may walk into a mansion

with chambers full of wonders.

I may own a lovely castle

and ll them up with lovers.

Though Kings and Queens may play their games,

but with you, I feel home again.

You can give me a house full of things

- wall to wall pictures and furnishings.

A ight of stairs that lead to heaven

or a house full of rooms for everything,

A hallway dressed up to the vain,


You can give me pleasures of this world

I can have all my hearts desires.

And lay them out in front of me

to feel the ame of each re.

I can wear the pride that has my name,


I could walk alone all by myself

and freeze out in the cold hard world.

I could lose my way rushing through life

just to nd another bafed soul.

I could get caught up in the twilight of my fame


Home Again

I want this love from you,

I want you to tell me so.

Dont wait until one morning,

when its too late for loving anymore.

As the night creeps up on me,

my heart loses some of its pieces.

My soul drifts out the open sea

of lost and worn out wishes.


I want you to shout it out loud.

My heart is in constant hunger

waiting for this desire.

Where do I go from here?

Where do I start?

Ive learnt too much to forget

of your warm and loving touch.

I Want This Love

I want you to tell me now.

In a moment I may be gone,

walking through the door.Make me feel this wonder

- unless its not mine anymore.

What joy do I have to lose?

What pain do I have to nd?

Do I have the right to these wayward blues?

Or in fact they were never mine?

Tell me if you want my love ...

let me know, or leave me here.

Cos if I cant feel this love again,

I dont ever want to hope in vain.

The city lights

begin to blink,

staggering, shimmering

and in between.

You see them y,

gold and glitter lines.

Fire up the skies

making zodiac signs.

Thats how I feel, when Im with you,thats how it is, from a lovers view.

I go dancing on the clouds and moon,

O thats how I am, I just go boom!

The night goes round in orbit,

grows dim with all of us in it.

Like a hundred gods taking ight,I just get right into the night.

Caressing face to face,

touching eye to eye.

Keeping you in my place,

loving you in a daze.

Making body moves,

the heat is ripe.

Shaking out to lose

my only delight.

Thats when you get under my skin,

O how you make me crawl within.Thats how I am when its right,

I am the darkness, I am the night.

Into the Night

It was when I looked into your eyes

that made me feel so warm inside.

It was when you touched my hand

that calm my trembles from the fright.

It was when you held me close

that all at once, life seems so right.

I never want to take that train of thoughts again,

going through the darkside of the tracks

Im coming out to make myself everything that I am

Thank you for being there, thank you for being that man.

Who made me think I can

Now I am every woman I know I am.

I cannot hide whats good inside anymore,

you thrilled me with desires with a sure shot plan.

Im breaking out of my locks and chains

because you gave me the freedom to be who I am.

And now Im not afraid anymore

I shall live my dreams that once I dreamt.

You Make Me

Why do I get up so empty in the mornings?

Like I have not existed,

like I have become routine.

A whole lot of life just wasted...

Where have I been in the dark?

In the darkness of my being...

Do I walk about in another reality?

Do I lie there like a dream...

An empty shell on a white washed beach,

a hologram in a minds design,

I get on up to see me not

and lay down again when I resign...

Why do I tire when I awake?

Just as I tire when I return to sleep.

What the barren, vacant space...

what the mystery, this soul succeeds.

Of Wake & Sleep

Cos hes fallen in love with me

and I dont know what to do.

Cos hes the kind of man

that I could really really love

Cos hes truly one good man

whos not the kind Id ever hurt.

Hes been so good to me

so what do I do?

Im always the one

who cant nd my way

But I still gotta runto know my night from day.

He reached out a hand to me

and he took me in his heart.

He could walk in the rain and smile

take away my pains and bring me out,but theres only one thing he doesnt know ...

even when I try, I dont love him anymore

One Good Man

You were all I could think about today,

Every thought came with ashes of you.In the highlands that Ive been

to the beaches that I swim,

theres just no perfect view

except the one I have of you.

When I look at myself

in the mirror,

I see the lovers I have had.

I see such a beautiful woman

when I see the one I love

residing in my head.

I wake up with you in mind

I sleep in your dreams

when I close my eyes.

When a love song plays on the radio

theres only you that appears

in my perfect view.

Each day we are together

each time were far apart,

you keep me in good company

every time I feel your heart.

Perfect V iew

back to where i belong

go on play that song

of unrhythmic off beat tune

i have no more senses

for perfection

for i am blind

for i am deaf

for i dont smell

for i dont taste

and i cant touch with skin anymore

i only wait for what moves

me from within

and they are songs that make

the heart sing of joy

and if you can

play it for me so that i may live

a full life that more than exist.

let me hear the trickle of the sound

that is made from heavenly voices

or instruments made of love

with orchestral choirs

otherwise let me hear nothing

P lay Me Nothing

The woman has got cancer,

and took the wrong bus home.The old man died of old age,

and they just left him all alone.

The kid behind the corner,

kept running in his dreams.

And the dog has got no license,

scaling through the city lanes.

The homosexual died of Aids,

and scattered all to hide.

The hooker has just been paid,

for losing all her pride.

A spouse has gone to bed,

with someone elses game.



The girl was raped a night ago,

and barely made it through.

The murderer got the hangmans noose,

he died without much ado.

The politician made a big mistake,

and all his nations died.



Strays


27/40

The addict crawled inside his lair,

to hide the scars of life.

The media started a vicious lie,

and destroyed another soul.

The down and trodden man,

shot himself in vain.

The dog has got no license,


The man, the woman, and the child,huddled close together.

They looked up to the skies,

in waiting for an answer.

The man, the woman, and the child,

get caught up in a blame.



They could run so wild, so freely,

collecting all the earthly dust.

They knew they just couldnt get away,

from the turmoil thats inside.

They knew not where to go,

jumping off the edge.

The dog has got no license,

perhaps we need them more instead.


28/40

I distance myself from the things I know,

I hide away from where the river ows.

I sail across open seas and oceans,

to runaway from lifes painful lessons.

I try to make dreams of my nightmares.

I hope to make love to the right answers.

My prayers go unheard as it spirals down,

my life is a sad its like a forgotten frown.

Love, get to know me,

love, dont let me go.

I wait for love to see,

Love, is nothing but a TV show.

I trudge along the withering owers,

I sweep the cloudy sky with my ngertips,

I waste away the days and hours,

wishing for love and a goodnight kiss.

Love, get to know me,

love, dont let me go.

I wait for love to see,

Love, is nothing but a TV show.

Love is a T V Show

The light from the sky grows dim

and I sit on the hard wooden chair to sing.

I lose my heart in the storm at night

and here I am almost gone without sight.

My body aches with fear and fright

of the dark and jarring sounds.I cannot seem to lift a hand

I cannot get out of a frown.

I dream in mis-match colors,

and shapeless formless ideas.

The street lights are so dreary

when I see myself in tears.

The weather is hot and dry

the seasons are all changing.

If I could water down the madness

get rid of the lighthearted screaming.

And in the silence of my heart

I hear my soul breaking free.

For all the worlds a ball of scam

and we are just the chopped down trees.

We are Trees


30/40

The fan was slowly turning,

the air was stale - unmoving

the tune went out of the song,

knowing that youre nally gone.

You make things possible with your smile,

Bring the light in when its cold and bare.

Wont you stay here for just a while,

Even the house sighs when youre not there.

The chairs are creaking and uneasy,the kitchen feels pretty vacant and empty.

The bed is lonely and its blue,

its as if everything waits for you.

My clothes are wrinkled and damp,

the silence gets choked up in the vent.Night creeps in when I come undone,

I may never rise again with the sun.

I thought there would always be a home,

a place of rest, a roof over my head.

You were someone I could never own,

without you time is neither alive nor dead.

Without You


31/40

31

If this is the way youre gonna treat me baby!

You better just walk on out!

I dont care if youre the King of the Hill,

Cos I know what your kind is all about.

You come on down and take me for a clown.

Pull me out of my dream and push me around!

You better think twice, you better be nice,

or you better get ready to pay the price.

I couldnt say I was really happy,

when you took me in - into your life.

I had some fun, so yes I did,

but youre got no right to do me like this!

O you better give it all up!

Or take another serious chance.

You better not depend on luck

if you still want this dance.

Im no fool to take it so cool,

Im a hot headed woman who wants to live!

Live out all my passions with no fast rule,save it for a lover who knows what to give!

If you cant take this much of a woman,

or treat me right even for a moment.

Id suggest you stick to what you can

- leave this woman for the right man!

You Better

You,

You know who you are,

and you should know how I feel.

My eyes can make you tell,

my presence can make it real.

Like we have known each other,

since the beginning of you.

You,

You love me to a chill,

but sometimes you cut away -

avoid me, do what you will

but you will come on back to stay.

You,

You are the one - the anyone

for I know your name by heart,

you may want me close to you,

but sometimes its not enough.

You,

You are a laughter in a word,

yet tears and heartaches too.

And the life I spend on dreaming

of you is all I do.

You,

You are bewitching as a lie,

as lovely as a song.The hunger of a sigh

just to think of you and I.

You

Forked tongue and iron sted

gritted teeth and hard headed,

cocked eye and upturned nose,buttered ngers and twinkled toes.

What do they want?

What do they want?

I cry with tears of fear

I cry for fear with tears

Election and misconception,

misinterpretation and sedition,

imprisonment and incarceration,

disillusionment and corruption.

What do they want?

What do they want?

I cry with tears of fearI cry for fear with tears

War crimes and untried criminals,

planned genocides and plotted massacres,

unfortunate civilians and conditioned soldiers,

blinded society and indoctrinated followers.

What do they want?

What do they want?

I cry with tears of fear

I cry for fear with tears

But I want no more tears.

But I want no more fears.

I cry with the voice of reasonI cry for the new dawn of freedom.

Autonomy


34/40

You march on solid ground

you terrorize the town.

You carry your weaponsyou bury the dead ones.

Sons and daughters

of tomorrows scorn,

Dare you brothers and sisters?

To join in the mourn.

You sing their anthem

you shout out their name,

you get a gold medal

for getting maimed.

You stand up tall

you wreck some skulls,

you puke out your gall

you cry out your bile.

The honor is great,

the joy is greater,

to be patriotic

to be egocentric.

Lets go to war

and ght all evil,

slay down the boars,

kill all the people.

Youre in the army baby,

youre serving the nation,

youre a baby in arms,

until youre wiped out of existence.

Baby,Join the Army

Whats become of this sad sad world?

Everyone wants to be right.

Every religion wants to claim victory

of things in heaven

and things on earth.

Every country wants to be rich

and rule all men from birth.

Whats become of this cruel cruel world?

No one can be safe in their own backyard,

no one can live a simple life

when everyone chooses to live in the dark.

No one wants to know

no one wants to give.

Because everyone is too busy

learning not to forgive.

Everyone wants to see some bloodshed

before they can wake up to the sound of peace.

Everyone waits to waste away in a sorry state

before they nally realize theres more to life than just this.

Whats going to become of this remarkable world?

When it is built upon twisted lies,Whats going to become of everyone

When it winds down slowly as it dies?

In the wake of a sad story,

in the dream of someones reality.

The shame I feel for being human

what does it take for one to be so so inhuman?

Death of a Worldin the Hands of Man

And I met someone who was angry with everythingbut he was just angry with himselfyet he didnt know it

but we could all see it.

He spoke in displeasing sounds

while he put people down,

whom he claims are blinded

and nothing but shortsighted.

He used words like idiots and shit

to describe an object or a person

and stopped everyone from speaking

because he didnt want to hear it.

His micro expressions were bitter

his body language exhibited dissatisfaction

with everything that he was

nothing was left unshredded.

I could hear him screaming for help

but he tried to hide the fact

that he was not doing so great

that he was a man out of control.

He regurgitated sorrow and pain

but thought he was speaking with assertiveness

but he was falling apart, into piecesand we could all see it.

We C ouldAl l See It

37If youre looked down upon

because of your gender

rise above everything else.

If you are discriminatedbecause of your sexuality


If you are segregated

because of the color of your skin


If you are sidelined

because you are disabled


If you have no rights to say

because you are young and vulnerablerise above everything else.

If you are neglected

because you are a senior citizen


If you are troubled

for not being one of them


Even when they are many, and we are a few

we can still rise above everyone else

because we know better.

Rise

Our country is run by empty old people

who tell us empty old lies

who seek out empty bins for

instant gains and empty cries.

How long more are we going to tolerate

this emptiness that is spreading?

How long more will we sit back

and listen to their empty old rantings?

Our planet is swarmed with empty old people

who cant let go of the things that dont belong to them.

Who cant share the kindness and hope,

who would rather see everything go up in smoke.

Why do we let them run this town?

Why do we let them run around?

Like headless chickens and mindless fruticakes,with hollow promises on empty plates.

The world is full of empty old people

who have lost their love and compassion.

Just because they are old and answerable,

Have they the right to do that to the children?

Empty Old People

He talks like a big man

but hes just a little fry.

And everyone knows it

but he doesnt want to believe it.

She throws herself around like a diva

but shes just a little icka


but she refuses to acknowledge it.

He lashes out his sermon like the right hand of god

but hes just a man in a garb


but he is blinded by his egoistical ub.

She struts about with her gold and gain

but shes just a photo in a frame


but shes too vain to admit it.

He loves to aunt his authority

but hes just really a nobody

And everyone knows itbut he tends to forget how his heart beats.

And when no one can stand it anymore

they fall apart, they disintegrate


but few want to do anything about it.

Fake


40/40

I say,

Lets prostitute ourselves

and stop with the whimpering

and complaining

about everything and nothing.


when we go for an interview

to sell the long and short of us,

to convince and command the bosses.


when we want to be famous

and aunt our every whim and fancy

we believe to be lifes vitality.


when we want wealth

and everything we can grab

in hope that well always be fab.


and do what we want

when we feel like it

cos who the hell gives a shit!

Arent we already prostitutes to our desires?

Arent we already prostitutes to our needs?

LetsProstitute Ourselves
