My soul bleeds for a word of comfort,

Heart yearns for a shoulder to rest my worries on,

I pray, let there be one more miracle;

Lest, I lose hope in life…

Memories are rife of the good ol' days,

Happiness and peace ruled my thoughts,

I pray, let me relive those precious moments;

Lest, I lose hope in life…

Joy never embraces when you most want it,

Freedom never gets to you, when you set out to seek it,

I pray, give me one more chance to endure these priceless gifts;

Lest, I lose hope in life…

I, now know, how innocence fades,

Often it's snatched and seldom lost,

I pray, nobody bears the loss of it anymore;

Lest, I lose hope in life…

Faith goes a long way in resurrecting the spirit within you,

Passion forms the strength of character,

I pray, reignite the fire within me;

When things end

leave a bitter taste to fend

A lump in the throat…

So much hatred afloat

When things end

a careless tear you continue to tend

Moments of respite constantly flash

All that remains is ash

When things end

there isn't much to mend

All that was there has vanished

you feel so punished

Norman says, Life’s tad too easy;
I say, you are bloody too nosey.

He says, you plan too less;
I say, have work in excess.

He says, you should self-motivate;
I say, its easier to self-immolate.

He says, Sanity you’ve lost completely;
 ’Half the world’s with me’, I say!

Life like a candle…
melts down the way.

Life like a rainbow…
eventually fades away.

Life like a jungle…
may lead you awry.

Life like a sculptor…
moulds you like you were clay.

Life like a song…
you will continue to play.

Life like a dream…
which has been cast away.

What a life,
so full of Strife;

Care less for your surroundings,
worry you have to for far better things;

A joyous face, to see, so hard,
memoirs of the past we discard;

Like the cool sunshade in the hot sun,
So does the lamp of hope burn.

It’s been a long long day…
So lil’ time & so much to say…
Cast away your worries at bay…

Live life to the fullest…
with much vigour & zest…
give the melancholy in you; a rest…

It’s easier said than done…
Living life like it were the last day…I have seen none…
As life passes by, I see the setting sun…

Looking back on the path I tread, never made me fidget…
I stand head held high, no regrets…
With each passing day, the better it gets

As the days go by, the sun sets on me;
I oft think of you…for only I can see…

The sparkle in the eye, burns the lamp of hope…
Life’s so tough, needs a lil’ more to cope…
Just a lil’ more…a lil’ more than hope…

Enjoying small pleasures in life;
has become an idea of rife…

You have been special, you will always be…
After you’ve gone, ‘ve left a void in me…
you have left no choice…but to bury the memoirs deep in the sea…

The darker days, when the spirit is dead;
I needed a shoulder, when my heart bled…

If ever I meet you again, wouldn’t know what to say…
But for sure I know; from each other we have walked far away…
A friend you had been so true…wish I had asked you to stay…

Dedicated to one of the dearest friend I had…
