Jog down memory lane

Let's take a jog down memory lane
see if our experiences are the same.

How often do you sit and stare at the falling rain;
or look above and appreciate the flying plane?
How often have you called someone by their nickname
or scream at cars racing down the lane?
How often have you had dinner on a sloping chair,
or have someone complain about your messy hair?
How often have you received your bottle with flowers,
or laugh when something sour someone consumes?
How often have you cycled along the beach,
or compete with someone at arcade games?
How often have you enjoyed the breeze at the place where the lion spits
or wrestle someone off their seat?
How often do you climb endless steps to reach the top,
or have someone walk you down a slope to a stop?
How often have you had someone wipe your sweaty face
or jog with someone who helps you keep pace?
How often have you found someone mysterious,
or find that they are simply hilarious?
How often have you had a surprise,
or get others to sing a song after a few tries?
How often do you hear of fairy tales,
or get diahorrea from too many beers?
How often have you an argument,
or sat down to discuss the government?
How often do you have a long barbeque,
or waited for the bus in a long long queue?
How often do you meet someone who inspires you,
or simply someone who angers or bully you?
How often do you make others laugh at meetings,
or get kicked for forgetting?
How often do you feel someone understands you
or not know what it is you should do?
How often do you feel you are supported emotionally
or feel for others affectionately?
How often do you receive endless questions
or obtain patient answers?
How often do you feel happy,
or simply just feel grumpy?
How often do you sit and read books like pride and prejudice
or lie back and listen to music like those from Pavarotti?
How often have you been to the zoo,
or stare at pictures having nothing to do?
How often do you cause a traffic jam at the go-kart,
or feel upset when the time comes to part?
How often do you feel you do not know when to trust,
or that your whole world is going bust?
How often does your heart skip a beat,
or feel like you can't take breathe?
How often do dream of funny things,
or hear someone sing?
How often do you assemble food,
or hear someone say you are good and have them affect your mood?

How often....

The naked truth

I think I know what you’re gonna say
I’m going to sit and hear it anyway
Time to let go to be fair
Though its not what anyone can bear

A part of me died last night,
when i let go of what i was holding on too tight
i'd continue to brave this fight
One day i'd eventually see the light.

I think i've been cast under a spell,
but what it is i can't really tell
Strip me down of values and views
Then what you'd get is the naked truth

A place i know...


There's this place i know

Warms your heart so i'm told
I've had dreams of this place
of love and laughter in a pretty space


There's a place i want to go
on days when it gets a little cold
It  could put a smile on your face
With a song, it'd lighten up the place


There you can see the Orion's belt
Inhale the sweetness of summer's scent
Watch the ships from the shore
Eat some chips from the store
See the sun move across the horizon
And marvel the beauty of light's refraction

Another set of few liners

Set 1:

I'm listening,
I know i'm trying
but still ain't understanding
just what its saying

I'm struggling
either way its hurting
what's real, what's a pretense
living life in suspense

___________________
Set 2:

I’m not the kind of girl you run to
When you have nothing to do
Not gonna wait around for you
When you have no one to turn to
Let me know your priorities
To determine the possibilities
Show me your resolution
To prove your authenticity

Who am I?

I’m watching the rain fall
And trying hard to recall
What this world means to me
Or the person I used to be

I’m feeling like I’ve lost
What I’ve been trying to seek
It makes me incomplete
Should I surrender in defeat

I’m not who you think I am
There’s something you ain’t seeing
Don’t know what all these means
Nothing left for me to believe in

I’ve got this wall around me
I just want to break free
Need you to understand me
I’m no longer who I used to be

Untitled

When I’m gone
Take me in a million pieces
Cast around the world
When night falls
And your world’s in darkness;
I’d mask the silence of your night

Hear my voice
You’d be in my prayers;
I’d be your guardian angel
And you won’t be alone

Halloween

It’s a ghastly night
Little children jumping back in fright
His face turned white
She screamed and then took flight

They say tonight’s the night
Creepy crawlies coming out to fight
What a scary sight
You run but there really isn’t anywhere for you to hide!
