Alone
I am alone in a huge worldI am lost in a forest
With lots of problems
I really don't know
How to get out of it...
Every little step I walk
Every little word I talk
Create many questions
Sometimes I want to cry
And say to the world
This is enough
Let me live freely
Another time I think this is a dream
I close eyes and open
Everything will be alright
But, that will never happen
I am suffering alone
Until I die...

I just want to know
When raindrops fall downI hear they are murmuring your name....
How wonderful is that melody
Oh! It's so close to my heart.....
When flowers blooms in the morning
It reminds me of your beautiful face....
When a beautiful butterfly comes to the flower
It reminds me how you come in to my life....
When the butterfly flew away from the flower
It reminds me how you walked away from my life...
When the flower fell down after a few days
It reminds me how heartbroken I was
When another flower bloomed
I didn't feel my life bloom as the flower...
I just wan't to know
Why it is.......

Tragedy of solitude
By being my best friendYou teach me a lot
Though it was sorrow or pleasure
We shared our mirth and tears
I remember.....we never be parted
It was the thing that I ever want from you
You are my precious world
It's very a queer thing
'Coz I hear your voice
Though it was a silence of death and now....
My sleep is out of the question
And my soul still listens to your great tragedy
Which was filled by guilty thoughts.....
Regarding my love for you!!!

Yesterday meets tomorrow
Latticed windowsTailored lawns
Ancient trees
And long ago buildings
Flavoured with a cinnamon whiff
Rings still with placid memories
Of times past
Dutch and British
Crows caw a top dustbins beside the Beira lake
Cars and trishaws run where rickshaws did
People hasen to offices and traffic congests
But long after
The rumble of vehicles dies down
The long cicada's trill
Reverberates in dimly streets
And yesterday meets tomorrow

An added bonus
Everytime you were thereWhen there was no one with me
Though you scold me, though you hit me
I know that is because of
Your love towards me
Sometimes I failed on some occasions of my life
But, you were there saying not to repent but to stand on my feet
You just like my shadow everytime, stand behind me
Most of the times you look like an evil
But I know how amiable you are
Just pretending as an evil
To stimulate me to fulfil my expectations
Dear father
I love you more than everything
In fact
You are a real added bonus to my life

A grandpa's love
When I laugh the joy is youWhen I cry, the tear is you
When I sleep, my dream is you
When I think, my hope is you
When I breathe, my life is you
When you're with me
the world is you
Away from me you little know
How much I weep without you
That's why I say, "you are my life"
So be with me till disappears
This worldly light
Ever and ever to be loved
