Go down with the ship


I will not fall below
the standard of absolute
even if the competition
withers and dies

I will not sell myself
for any cheap tricks
I will not dilute myself
they can all try

I will not pander
to thieves and dacoits
I can take all and not
crack before any whip

I will not not flourish
off of pirates' gold
I rather choose to
go down with my ship

Beyond The Horizon



If you could see beyond the horizon,
how far could you see my love,
how far would you see my love,
would you be able to see me here,
a hundred million miles away,
in a world
so different from your own...

'cause beyond the horizon
the sun never sets
but you are my sun
and all I've got this side is
a permanent darkness
my sun set a while ago ...

Fallen Star


You're like a night star
a much too bright star
I'm like a lonely light
in the corner of your eye
you look straight at me
and I disappear..
O love, was I never there?

Sunset


Your tears are for the
both of us
I know your pain well
it is mine 
But its okay to break
let it go
My calm will help you
lift your burden
I'll help you in carrying
what you can't
My strength will serve when
yours is gone
I'll always be close by
keeping an eye
And when you're unable to
walk any longer
I'll carry you in my arms
across the sea ...
into the sunset ...

Fireworks


I mount atop a rocket
bring a match to the fuse
it whistles to me then booms
my sky was set ablaze,
And I'm also weightless
and see the earth as lights
but wicked gravity wins
so hit the ground I do..

And through my gasps & blood
I remember how I saw
in the corner of my eye
the beat of an angel's wings,
Her visions are all I see
in my wasting feeble soul
so please don't take away
how I saw a beautiful world...

Yin-Yang


I don't need you
to be more beautiful
'cause I think you are
beauty sublime
even though at times
you might think otherwise,
I don't need you
to be strong and charming
I just need you
to be just like you,
to smile that smile
and laugh that laugh
and do that voodoo
which you love to do..

I don't need you
to feel like I feel
I don't need another
piece like myself,
maybe you don't see it
but I'm a broken piece,
I just need you
to fit into me
and make me whole
make us whole
be the yin to my yang...

Fly my love


All this time that I thought
you were sailing away
you were silently dying
I didn't see, how I cry my love

You have bled much
but your heart beats strong
just hold on tight a moment
before long, I'll arrive my love

You shouldn't be like this
but save your soul I will
I'll make a deal with the devil
you belong, don't die my love

The world needs your pretty soul
though I won't be missed much
I'll lay my heart as a stepping stone
you deserve, go fly my love...

Rock Paper Scissors


The world is always playing
rock paper scissors
running familiar cycle
we all know the way,

the design wasn't meant
to have kings and pawns
its only what we make
and only what we say,

though we are ultimately
just pieces of the sea
each drop standalone
still all must play,

the mighty rocks fall
before slender supple paper
one of life's switchbacks
so long, tough break...

Azure Skies


There was a time when
we ran like the wind,
and laughed under azure skies
together as one..

How did it come to this
when did the cogs begin to turn
like an elysian vision
it seems like a fading dream..

We were so naive that
we knew neither fear
nor envy nor hatred
and the sky was the limit..

And so filled were with passion
all those invincible faces
and all those first meetings
that will never happen again..

And all that unearthly beauty
left awestruck so many souls
at times it felt like
even the sun was dancing..

And we felt we could reach
till the end of the rainbow
and maybe a little further
while life ran in technicolor ....

River


Drifting down the river of thought
I reach a crucial fork,,
there is one who loves me
and one whom I love

Unable to choose, I fret for days
weighing against each other
the pros of both ways
but unable to move I am

Then I use another approach
First without her then you
I imagine a future epoch
weighing what I lose each time

And then my rivers coalesce
as frothing eddies turn blue
There never was a dilemma
and there never were two
'cause its you my darling
its always been you ...
