I...

I walk to go places
I talk to express myself
I look to see faces
I think to be real.

I fight for what's right
I run from the unknown
I peer deep into the night
I wonder what it holds.

I brave all the elements
I endure sun, rain and cold
I make lasting commitments
I ponder as age catches up.

I close my eyes to sleep.
I close my eyes to dream.
I listen to the nothing slowly creep.
For this sleep is my last.

Passing on

An endless highway
Of countless horizons
The sun will rise
And will fall again.
Friends will be lost
Lovers will fade away
Nothing can be done
For them, for anyone.
All highways end
Each horizon is numbered
Take heed to live
Each day like its last.
Learn your lessons
Pass life's tests.

For mum,

She was there at the beginning
When the world was new to you -
She was there to turn to happy times
Those when, you were hurt or blue.

She was there to listen to your thoughts
And when you asked, to give advice -
She was there to tell you, "Those don't match!"
Or, "Hon, you sure look nice."

She was there with you at nighttime
To help you say your prayers _
She was there to tell you, "It's alright."
When you had a dream that scares.

She was there at morning time
To get you up and out of bed -
She was there when you didn't feel good (or did)
To say, "You'd best stay home, instead."

She was there when you were hungry
And when you had those dirty clothes -
She was there when you needed her
(How she knew? Only heaven knows.)

She was there at the beginning
And she'll be there your whole life through -
She'll be there in your mind and heart
Just like a mother is supposed to do.

Stars

Lazy days
Lonely nights
Looking for a lonely star
who'd keep me company

Looking at the widespread sky
being me a lonely soul
gazing at the moon so bright
making wishes `pon a star

A blow of breeze
to animate
the freezing scene

So the strings of white gold ribbons
seem to tease the lonely moon
because it is standing still
and they are free to move

"twinkle twinkle little star . . . "
I used to sing when I was young
now I've grown but still today
" . . . how I wonder what you are"

Lying down upon the meadows
Dream of flying up so high
Reach the stars, sit on the moon
Dancing ballet with the clouds

Choices

Oblivion
I suppose I could stay
but I'd rather not
I'll choose to move on

Alone
I may be for now
but I'm not giving in
I won't let you win

Giving up
not in my vocabulary
stubborn by choice
with a plan in mind

Sadness
won't go away
but I'm determined
to make it through

Broken
not much strength
but I'm still standing
facing my life head on

Life
is that all you've got?
I'm not defeated
I won't let you take me down

Time
I'll just keep fighting
bloodied and bruised
but I'm still here

Hope
is what sustains me
shining dimly
keeping me alive

Winning
against all odds
nothing is impossible
I choose to believe.

Between The Miles

To Bink!! :)

Because existence can become severe
in one day,
just sense me and I'll be there.
In the minds eye,
I'm not so far away.
If you hold out your hand,
in the whispers,
I'll become the zephyr.
and besiege you.
If your eye's upon the stars,
in the crystalline darkness,
I'll become the moon.
And the light shall guide you.
If you rest upon the ground,
in the warmth,
I'll become the grass.
And embrace you.
If you turn outside,
in the wetness,
I'll become the rain.
An upon your forehead, touch you.
If you free the air,
in the light of day,
I'll become the sun.
And smile for you.

Between the miles-
if you need me.
If you need a friend.
Let me be the friend, I want to be.

The Universe

To the 3 a's(amma,achu and anu) and divs!!

Her heart is a star is a system is the universe
Her heart has a very bright, luminous beam is sparkling with the love
of a million days is lighting the sky with its dazzling beauty.
Scintillates with joy when she's happy, blazes with anger when she's sullen,
glimmers with sadness when she's morose.
Can shine like the morning star or flicker like the dying one.

Her soul is a comet is a system is the universe
Her soul is free to float and fly is unique is in a position
where any hard impacts will shatter it.
Shimmers as it catches light, is darkened with shadows,
moves like a "shooting star" when given encouragement.
Leaves its mark upon the universe, if only for a brief period of time.

Her body is a planet is a system is the universe
Her body is left behind sometimes is large
and cumbersome can be abandoned easily.
Orbits the light of her heart on a daily basis can be icy cold
or agonizingly hot is surrounded by a ring of skin.
Cycles with the seasons of birth, life, old age, and death.
