Enough

My heart missed a beat,
Was history gonna repeat?
How many more times?
How many more crimes
do I have to pay for?
Will this ever end
and change this trend?
I ask for no more victory or defeat..

Con diffidence! Feel confident!

Everything's gonna turn out fine,
It's just gonna be like taking a swig of wine.
Take the bottle, uncork,
they'll be amazed, they'll gawk!
Then take a gulp, feel it inside..
do it all with a l'il bit of pride!
You've done good, you've done your best..
that's important, don't worry about the rest.
They're gonna hang onto your every word, every line,
it's just gonna be like taking a swig of wine....

Mereko bore marega!

Am I glad,
Am I sad?
Am I relieved,
Or am I mad?
I'll miss it all
the sweetness,
the comfort,
the safety,
your presence,
your replies sofort!

Haunted - by you

Today I remember the promises,
You never kept..
Today may I weep the tears
I haven't wept?
Today may I just wake up
to find your hand on my head.
Today may I just look at you,
the same loving eyes.. as on the day you fled!

Doesn't chime forever

The laughter died out..
The giggling stopped..
The sweat beads on my brow
now need to be mopped.

It's two window seats now,
Hunger at different times,
The song of friendship
no longer rhymes..... .

Was Rhine ever acidic?

Everything is happening fine,
No acid in the Rhine..
Nothing is defunct..
I have no reason to whine!

Is it becoz I ain't observing fine?
Or has everyone really fallen in line?
These placid times will kill me -
I miss the acid in the Rhine!
