Give Me A Dream

Give me a dream

Give me a hug

Just one little kiss

And some love

The magic to believe

A few stars to wish upon

Power to trust

And the courage to hold on

Living my life a day at a time

Ears straining to listen to distant chimes

There is a rainbow out there

Let’s go find that pot of gold

Listen to the clues that colours whisper

Follow on and let your emotions unfold

This is about our new tomorrow

A tale of hope to be shared and told

Enchanted Memories

Enchanted memories on yellowed pages
Invisible hands telling tales of gone by ages
As the ink spills on paper
Loneliness chokes the worn out words

Random emotions strung into sentences
Or are they glimpses into a life unfulfilled
You may never know
You are not meant to

Yet the pages sparkle like gold
As echoes of laughter delight your senses
For joy was to be discovered everywhere
A wondrous capacity so rare

Look at that full stop and that comma
They are symbols of thought and achievement
For when a tale ends
That’s where a life commences

A Little Story

A little story

But mine to tell

A long life

But lived well

A story of great romances

A tale of gambles and chances

Fallen gods and broken idols

Judgements passed from citadels

Raised voices whispering secrets

Strained ears missing the notes

Locked doors and thick walls

All is silent as the night falls

Daybreaks and sunshine calls

The trees rise up proud and tall

This is where the divine performs

The magic called life for one and all

Winds

Winds blowing from the shore

Tell me something

Tell me more

 

Look at me

And see through my eyes

There is magic in waves

There is moonlight in the tides

 

The sands are glittering at my feet

There is music in the rustling leaves

Dancing on the rocks

Come let’s meet

 

I will carry you in my hands

You can laugh at me

I will cast a little spell

I know you too can hear the ringing bells

 

This is our journey

Just you and me

The road is long

And we might get lost

 

You can escape and fly away

But I must carry on

I need to walk

 

Goodbye to you dear friend

I will see you in the skies

When the clouds gather

And the storms let out a war cry

 

When the first drop falls

And world glistens

I will talk again

And I know you would still listen

Dream A Little Dream

Dream a little dream

And let it grow

Unlock that emotional dam

Let those tears flow

 

You have survived

Cherish your victory

Don’t look back now

Could-have-beens are always a mystery

 

Sleep my darling

Rest for the night

The dawn brings a new challenge

Yet another fight

 

But this time you know

That there is a winner in you

Rejoice in that knowledge

There are none like you

 

Dream a little dream

And let it grow

Let it teach you

What you can achieve

 

Dream a little dream

Hold on tight

Tempt fate a little

And miracles might…

The Kite

A free kite flying in the sky

Against the wind

Setting its own rules, the power to defy

Passing over unknown destinations

Carrying with it infinite aspirations

But in the end just one dream, one faith

And just one fate

 

Each one of us is like this kite

Involved in an elemental fight

Defying the forces that govern

Yet bowing before our own

Unaware of destiny

Unaware of the seeds of betrayal sown

Promises

in the silence of the night
when the lamps of the sky are lit
some people lie awake
promising themselves to make the last bid
unbidden the sleep drowns them
in the land of unfathomable dreams
they wake up to the new day
unconsciously reliving the poignant moments
each going its own way
faced with problems they don’t have answers to
marching ahead…… its destiny they woo.

Goodbye ….

One day I wake up to find myself floating in the sea
Clapping my hands and dancing in glee
Another evening the vessel stands anchored
The party is over
What is to be is to be….

On looking back I drown in memories
Memories filled with pain and pleasure
Memories of good times shared together
Memories which are mine
Memories are all I have now
Memories which are to be treasured….

With hopes in an ever optimistic heart
On this glorious note we part
We were together for some reasons
Our paths will cross again
We shall meet again
Somewhere in some season…..

Quest

Walking under the twilight veils

treading softly on the whispering leaves

look carefully my dear friends

for shimmering in the early moonlight

you will find golden pieces of a broken fairy tale

Close your eyes

challenge the skies

and let the time drip through the sands

you have found the clues

the mystery yours to solve

the history at your call…..

yet alone you must stand…….

It’s my promise that the road will end

that your curiosity will be satiated

and the thirst for knowledge shall be quenched…..

it may happen in another time

but you must take a chance

so sip your wine

and join the dance…….

Emotional Canvass

The cursed bullet has pierced the heart

The battle is over

A well played part

As life’s clock ticks ever so slowly

The mind’s kaleidoscope sets in motion

Stirring up a storm in a turbulent sea of emotions

Being able to hear favorite notes

Surrounded by war cries

Seems like a miracle

But it’s not everyday that a man dies

Life’s love embraces the body

Some hidden pains resurface

It’s the very last breath…….

The last hazy stretch

After which

Begins another race…………..
