Take Me For A Walk
feels like i am all alone in this big crowd
all i need is a seeking hand
to take me away from this silence so loud
to rescue me from a life so bland
a rock wrapped with gold paper
shining with aplomb and so much vigour
will the smile on my face ever taper
tiring it is to blanket a heart that is so sour
oh baby baby when will you come home
when i close my eyes it is you that i see
i have been living the life of a lifeless tome
u can be the author that can rewrite me
is it wrong to ask for something so small
oh when i call for you please don’t balk
all i need is your hand and that’s all
oh baby baby just take me for a walk

Dearth
Till the last drop trickles
Squeezed to the point of naught
With the drop vanished all hope
Remains of a stone unsought
Till the last wave of warmth
Burnt to black sooty ash
With the smoke perished all desire
A burnt log lies with a deep gash
Till the last ray shines
Caught in a net without a blaze
With the capture lost all freedom
A trapped firefly slips into an empty haze
Till the last grain of strength
Puckered beyond repair
With the dearth disappeared existence
That is plain me simply in despair

Melancholy Of A Smiling Heart
Monday night and I’m sitting alone
Monotony of work keeping me company
Very close to resembling a stone
But an inner sense of peace sings a harmony
I am happy just to say the least
No reason nor rhyme to explain it now
I feel satisfied like I just returned from a feast
Oh this is so good my heart goes wow
It must be the wind I tell you
There is something in it that has got me cravin’
I can smell it and I know it is true
It is her love and I can feel it easin’ in
Oh how I miss you so
The only one to have shared it all with me
Miles away but my feelings still grow
Come to me baby, my heart is all for thee

Delusion
In the grey haze of a reticent hollow
The wandering of a lonely soldier
The lucid aspirations now a distant mirage
Seems in this world everything is a wager
The trails left behind are inveterate reminders
Growing deeper with every cycle
In a moment of delusion he sees her smile
Engulfed by clarity it is back to the debacle
Oh will it ever end, the begging question
Only if he lets go, when he lets go
Too tried, too tired, too many a trite
If it was to be done, it was long ago
Now he’s trapped good
In a world of blinking delusions
Who says a smile is beautiful
It tears him apart with painful premonitions

At The End Of The Drawbridge
Split hooves, cowboy hat and a black ride
The final ride and you know it too
All the memories put away in a night
Accompanying you is a lonely hue
You see the end very near
To let it all go you know is salient
Entering a cave of uncertainty and fear
Leaving the familiar for alien
In that last second your mind races
To all the times of shared symphony
The many people the many places
It now all ends in melancholy
You are at the end of the drawbridge
You leave behind what is behind you
Never to look back
For what lies ahead is the truth, the bitter truth is due
