Coffee Shop Boy !!!

Once upon a time, met a coffee shop boy …

Coffees I see were his weapons of choice…

Poor little guests, high on caffeine they are…

Unsuspecting souls, to the coffee shop power…

Caffine , more caffine please !!!!

Let me hide the deceptions in reality ..

Stories and lies and alibi’s….

Covered in choco rum ..sweet words and surprises …

Coffee shop boy , I sometimes feel sorry for you …

But then I see again, you do same things with someone new …

Coffee shop boy don’t you feel bad …

Is this the kind of life you wish to have ?

Tell the truth, face the consequences of the lies..

Someday you’ll find, you’ll make the peace inside…

I know you were hurt once long ago..

So were many of us, if you need to know!!!

Its hard I realise to find your way …

When this is what you’re accustomed to these days..

Don’t you want a better life??

A freer one devoid of lies!!!

Do what you have to, to break away..

Start afresh and mend your ways…

Change your name, change your life…

Leave the city, (trust me) you’ll be alright…

I know you well, little coffee boy …

Will let you in on a secret…

I once played game of truth and lies …

PS: Don't think you can pull me back with my book... any untruth makes the rope weaker ...

Losing heart to reality …..

Verse 1
Walking down the sub way today
She kept looking down she stared away
She’s not the girl she used to be..
Seems to be losing heart to reality...

She stands at the station
Waits for the morning train ..
The life she leads, a constant strain ..
Seems to be losing heart to reality …

The train pulls in, she pushes and jumps,
Feels like garbage now, in a garbage dump..
Shoving, choking, need air to breathe..
Seems to be losing heart to reality…

Verse 2
The people she sees
The places she goes
Face upon faces
None of them show

Murals on walls
Penned lines in old diaries
Dreams long ago
Buried secrets, for no one to know

Answers !!!

The answers we look for, we sometimes find in the strangest places.

An epiphany they call it, sudden enlightenment in one moment

What do we do? Do we have the strength to see things we don’t want to?

How hard is the first step? Tough as hell,..right? How important is it ?

We never really understand the values of asking the small questions …

We never really it till we ask them … till we answer them honestly ….

Sometimes we realize that once they are answered ….we need to walk..

Only we can control what we feel , we need to make tough choices ….

Do we walk?...do we just settle for something else, other that what we hoped for? ..

Will settling be settling at all...when the day is through…do we take a chance?

Never look back .... though we turned back many times before...

When to we make these decisions? … Maybe we need to start from today..

‘Carpe Diem’ – we always wait to seize the day ….

The longer we wait …the longer we hide ….

We know its time …when we learn…

Compromise because we want …

Not because we are trained to ….

Where happy thoughts stay...

I cry alone for no one to see,
Put on a smile and face reality...

'' Little child in me cry tonight
Drown yourself in this lullaby ..
Close your eyes and dream away
cause as dawn breaks you need to face the day...

There once was a girl who lived by herself ,
daddy and mummy of course but she needed no help ...
Strong little girl people would say ,
when she grows up , she'll go a long way ...

The poor little girl , she had to be strong ,
growing up she hoped , her prince would come along ...
She sang her heart out, when she was bored ,
she always sang, on a lonely road ...

Then one morning , her song was heard ,
10 paces between them, as they waited for a bird...
On her they flew, to an amazing place,
One lead to two, and their relationship raced ..

She knew she had finally, found her prince ,
Two forever , they've been happy since ....

Little girl, how do i tell you,
I'm sad you have to face it this soon ..
Your in the real world,
No prince outside this room ...

Hush little girl , keep dreaming away ...
I pray you die in your sleep , where the happy thoughts stay ...

Beyond Redemption

Sometimes we find ourselves beyond redemption,
In places we were never meant to be.
A different person from who we were,
Adrift in a sea of anonymity.

Struggling with forces that will always be,
We try to change our fate.
Is there hope beyond redemption ?
Or is it just too late ?

The Look

On the bed in a tee and shorts,
Hair messed up and spread.

All worn out from the previous night,
Laugh, as you try massagin my head.

You stare at me with those deep browns,
What is it that you see?

Lookin in your eyes, feel the same pain,
Is that what you recognize in me?

The Deed

Selling your soul
On the road to nowhere
Demons inside you rest

Traveling far
Places in nightmares
Doing things that you detest

Close your eyes
Walk ahead, and
Numb yourself to pain

The deed is done
It’s all over
Can you live again?
