My City


My City - "Where beauty dwells within"

IF

I live on time,
And time;
Will tell,
Who I am to be.

If I wait for time,
Nothing will come;
For time,
Waits for no man.

HAPPY FOOL

If knowing brings sadness, I'd rather be a fool for life

FAITH GAP

We are all the creation of one Creator, why; do we build a gap between our faith

TRUE FRIEND

Friends come in different faces; but, TRUE FRIEND always show me one face

EXPRESSIONS

"It's not the color you like, nor the song you love that define you. It's the pride, the temper, the words you choose that express you. So, use them wisely and the Gods will smile with you all through your life"

CHANGE

‘Thought I need a place to change my way,
‘Thought I need a hand to guide me through;
‘Thought I need a heart to understand,
‘Thought I need a time to heal the wound.

At times I feel days are just a number,
That add to years and boil up anger;
Hide the beauty of life away beyond yonder,
Make the dreams I had a cocoon of wonder.

I know I had friends to lend me a shoulder,
A couple of place to run and hide away;
I know I had time to plan for a change,
And a loving God who always understand.

A change of season won’t heal me,
For nothing can change me, but me.

IN DEEP

I can control my feelings,
I can control my anger;
I can control my tears,
Be reticent and hide away.

But, when it comes to the ‘heart',
I see only white and no black;
Then, all my tears will flow,
And shame myself but never regret.

TROUBLED

If this is life,
Then, who am I ?
And what is love,
Is this a lie ?

Born without a choice,
In this world;
And listen to the voice,
Of the war.

Seems, we’re gambling,
To be better;
And goes on cheating,
For the latter.

What a waste,
The Creator make;
In our haste,
For the remake.

A LITTLE GIRL (a sudden pang of joy)

Today, I saw a little girl,
Waiting for her school bus;
Down by the road,
Up from our terrace.

She was standing all alone,
With her green skirt;
A stripe scarf on her head,
And with a puffed pink pag.

She wore an earring,
Which swing dazzling around;
When she count her fingers,
And shake her head.

She was singing her heart,
The world around her;
Looks so beautiful and true,
And she was smiling too.

She makes me wanna sing,
For this brand new day;
And wish more for nothing,
If life’s going her way.

A HEART’S DILEMMA

[the situation]

The train is leaving,
So am I;
With dreams for the future,
With hope for the both of us;
Surrounded by people
Who I know not.

As the train glide away slowly,
I think about you;
I think about us.
May God never fail us,
In our hopes and plans.
I knew in my heart,
You’re all that I need.

[the pledge]

If ever your trust,
Should I betray;
May all those who knew me dear,
Never ever forgive me.

[the longing]

The sun’s coming up,
Low above the hill.
My heart began to wonder,
Longing to hold you;
Smell the sweetness of you.
Everything makes me sad.
Wish you were here,
And I could feel your tenderness.

The sun in the morning,
Looks so beautiful, but alone.
It reminds me of you,
Your warmth;
Your tender smile,
Your sweet laugh;
It makes me wanna cry.

[the dilemma]

Lost in thought,
All was quiet.
Darkness creeps over,
Sensed your smell.
Struggled to reach beyond,
Heard a laughter.
Beauty shone its light,
There you are;
Smiling at me,
You’re so beautiful.
Your love over-pours my heart,
That it has no space left.
‘Was thrilled and overjoyed,
Happiness, you gave me so much;
We hold each other.
No word worth a thousand words.
I hold you tight,
Never wanting to let you go.
I can feel you breathe,
You smell so divine.

It feels like forever,
Wish it lasts forever.
The light became dim,
You began to fade away.
My heart ache,
I was lost in the dark.
I called you,
But get no reply.
I began to panic,
Then, I hear myself cry.

[reality]

There I was,
On my journey, to sadness;
Sitting at the corner,
Of the fast moving train.

YOUTH REVISITED

Here I am,
Back again.
Could still feel the thrill,
Seems like yesterday;
The picture still remains.

‘Tis the place,
Where my youth I spent;
Where my youth I spoiled,
Till now I could not mend.

Young and old alike,
Gathered to mend our wasted youth;
Expressions we change,
Hearts, we keep our own.

Woe is me – I pitied,
Guilty, I feel too.
Now, to be back again,
And realize my life;
Is wasted so long.

IF I : FOR YOU

My life,
It has an endless beginning.
My love,
All it ever do is searching.
Broken are my life,
Broken are my love;
Everything comes and go.

Maybe, I just didn’t believe,
Believe in nothing at all.
Somehow if you do believe,
Understand my all;
Maybe you’ll try to forgive me.

It hurts to know,
To know that you knew;
Your trust I betray,
Every heart will say;
I have no worth.
I do have no word,
To make you come back.

I’m sick of my feeling,
It always hurt someone;
And tired of dreaming,
Good it does to no one.

Wish to crawl out of this skin,
Leave all that’s within;
And fight a brand new beginning.

I’m truly sorry,
To let you in my story.
Shouldn’t have done that,
You don’t deserve it.
You’re the one to do that,
Cos’ I know I deserve it.
Why do you have to be such an Angel !!

Now you are free,
So, live your life.
I’ll pay the fee,
For the deeds of my life;
And walk the mile of my own.

But if I ever do touch your heart,
You’ll know in your heart;
Here I’ll be, worthlessly,
For you as a friend.

THE TEMPLE

Sitting at the terrace, my favorite place to think, counting the days. Time goes by as people and vehicles of all sorts crossed the busy road every boring minute. Each passing day give me new hope, while, I waste them in stubbornness and lack of confidence. Once, I believe, life was clear to me but who I am now will be of no importance even to a child of four.

Cool breeze blowing in a low whine all the while however innovates me and makes me wonder of the Temple that stood proudly erected in front of me. Alone and a little shabby it appears, but, it always hold its ground upon scorching heat of sun and heavenly downpour of rain. People of all shapes and sizes, ages and beauty live around it and eventually, more came from everywhere around it countable in numbers every second or a while; and hardly a soul will walk away without looking high up and touch one’s own forehead and chest even if the door of the temple was closed.

Old and young alike, rich and poor, healthy and wealthy are of no susbject of importance upon the BLESSINGS it gave to those who seek. A home for the poor and needy, motivator for the young, inspirer for the old and giver for the wealthy. Looking at this temple help me realize life in a rather bizarre way. ‘Looks may deceive the eye but not the heart’,’ was thus proven true by a man who regularly came, took off his sandals aside and pray in front of the temple if the world around him buzz busily; even if the temple door was closed.

GENETICS

Species of all varieties bundled upon this planet with all kinds of distinctiveness. One, rarely with similarities. But yet, all were one Creator’s significant creation. “Why?” – the perfect question, never answerable by man, the cleverest creation since the beginning of time.
Deep in man’s thought this question remain clear : How does life really began on this planet earth. Who’s the creator. Are there any planet similar to this one. Any UFO’s et al.
To see the past, you have to live in the past, present; present and future; you still have to live in it. TRUE!!

To know the truth, you have to live in the truth. But, what is the TRUTH?? Jumbling question and alternative too. Depends upon one’s belief. What has beliefs got to do with the truth? Search the answer within. Can’t say cos’ I’m not sure about it meself. Maybe, believing is way beyond my abilities.

PATH OF LIFE

Had a life,
Once a time.
Gone with the wind,
Was all my mind.

Struggled and fought,
Lost in my thought;
Had to find the way,
Every passing day.

O! God. Help me so,
In all things I do;
Show me the path,
I'll play my part.

This I can assure you,
For, I know you.
Promises kept,
Held no debt.

CLAIRVOYANCE'S ANGEL

My life is gloom and dull,
Misery even hate me so ;
Woe is me, thus my soul,
None care and really know.

Days, i waste in a daddle,
Lonely cried and cupid laugh ;
Clairvoyance then gave me an Angel,
Clad with heart full of love.

She spoke her heart in word,
And take away my sorrow ;
Is there one who's worth,
Who heals but left me hollow.

Doubts left me wonder from all angle,
O me ! Do i deserve such an Angel.

THE DAY YOU LEFT

The day you left was like hell.
Wish i could forget you,
Wish you left me whole.
Memories linger on.
Don't know how to let go.
Every now and then,
I keep trying not to think of you;
But you just won't leave.
I kept fighting, only to make it worse.
I felt like crying,
Even though i know; It won't help.
I tried to stop thinking,
But, my heart won't let me;
I tried to sleep it all away,
But, my mind won't let me.
Memories brightened up,
Not b'cos i want it to;
It does itself.
Thought you'll leave me,
But, you never do.
Everywhere i turn,
You appear; between me and reality.
I tried winking you away; but, never do.
Maybe i was wrong, a fool;
Maybe i was.
Wish i had a bottle of whiskey;
But i knew, I knew;
When the kick was over,
I'm gonna see you more than before.
Maybe i just want you,
Maybe i'm just jealous;
That you are out of my sight.
I slept, trying to let you go;
But, every time i open my eyes,
I saw you smiling;
So, i close my eyes,
Only to realise that you are there,
Even in the darkness of me.
Memories of the short happy times,
Are the only best thing;
That i got of you now.

THANKS

Thanks to thee O! Mother Earth,
For giving me the humble chance to feel ;
The joy and the pain the Angels longed to feel.

For all the beauty of this earth,
The morning dew, the pouring rain ;
The blessings you bestowed upon us from our birth.

* I'm gonna sing, sing your praises,
Till my time on earth come and you take me ;
Take me to our Maker.

Thanks to thee again for this dear life,
For all the friends who always stay ;
Though all the path we walk sometimes let us stray.

All the bond of realationship,
The more we give, the more we get ;
Though all the deeds we do will never be enough.

# I am really glad You gave me
The chance to wholly know,
What all thy creations couldn't feel at all.

WHY

If you are to send,
Someone, somewhere ;
Will it not be,
For something worth(y)?

Why are we,
Here on this earth ;
Will it not be,
For something worth(y)?

The answer,
Lies within you ;
And that's for real.

SEASONS

There are times for laughter,
And a time to cry ;
For the Creator create every seasons.

In our lives every season,
Comes now and then ;
But the Lord said -

"Come to me all you labour,
And are overburdened ;
And I will give you rest".

BEING INNOCENT

A man dreams,
Of being innocently childish again ;
But never had the courage to act like one.

Because the world around him,
Would shriek in amazement ;
Of his undoubtedly innocent act,
And say -

"What on earth had become him,
Musn't a man always be a man ?"

That the world made him SHY,
Of being a 'Childlike Angel'.

ALONE

Why is the world so silent,
When i'm all alone ;
All by myself.
Why is the world so noisy,
When i'm all alone ;
All by myself.

Why can't i be what i wanna be,
When i'm all alone ;
All by myself.
Why can't i do what i wanna do,
When i'm all alone ;
All by myself.

Why can't we live in peace,
When we had God ;
So peaceful and loving.
Why can't we leave this place,
When we had God ;
So graceful and loving.

Why can't we all be friends,
Why can't we trust each other ;
Why can't we be what we are,
Why can't i be one normal lad.

All i do is,
Think about this ;
When i'm all alone,
All by myself.

DEATH

A time,
A year or so ;
Passes by,
With health ;
But, without wealth.

Incredible are the ways of life,
Broken are the life ;
I live without choice.

Wonder what lies beyond this road,
A soul so badly wounded and broken ;
Had to pass through,
Without the light ;
That was once deep inside him.
But, was now gone because of death.

RAY

Sometimes i wonder where i am,
Sometimes i wonder if I'm alive ;
Sometimes i wonder i had friends,
Sometimes i wonder who i am.

Am i above the mountains covered with clouds,
Am i above the sky amidst the clouds ;
Am i tangled between the web of time ;
Am i the only one feeling this way.

Somehow -
Like the ray of sun penetrating the clouds,
A thin ray of faith that always stays ;
Hold my breathe to make me whole,
Just to wonder who and what i am.

SMILES

When the days turn sour and grey,
I smiled a simple smile ;
When the days are bright and gay,
I smiled with my heart.

When sorrows left me blue and pale,
I smiled a simple smile ;
When happiness conquers sadness and pain,
I smiled with my heart.

When all hopes are death and gone,
I smiled a simple smile ;
When hopes brought forth fruit and gain,
I smiled with my heart.

FUNNY

Life was fun,
When the sun ;
Shone the light,
Upon our life.

Days go by,
Ages go by ;
Nothing comes by,
Everything goes 'bye'.

Life was short,
Not that sort ;
To be a fool,
Of all fools.

Someone say,
"Never say ;
You're unworthy,"
Cos' you are worthy.

Began the day,
Of my days ;
Trembling with fear,
To lose my fear.

One step alone,
The journey was long ;
Two steps ahead,
Shows more ahead.

The rain pours,
And tear flows ;
Had to fight back,
Never to look back.

Woke up to find,
The day was fine ;
Wish to hold,
The moment whole.

God then spoke,
Among the smoke ;
"No rain, no sun,
No sun, no fun."

Can't it be sunny,
To make life funny ;
And let it light,
For this one life.

What a fun,
With the sun ;
Let the rain pour,
And let tears flow.
