Round and round we go

Round and round we go
With the faces we hide
With the faces we show.
With memories of pain
With memories of bliss
Cherishing the opportunities taken
Regretting those missed.
Round and round we go
With the faces we hide
And the faces we show.

Silence is not always golden

Silence is a beautiful thing.
It speaks volumes,
it gives voice to the unsaid.
And bridges the space between
two individuals gracefully.
But sometimes there are words
that have to be spoken,
Spoken sooner than later.
Words that fill up the void
More beautifully than silence ever can.
Sometimes you have to
give words a chance.
For silence is not always golden.

Fools Galore

He waits and waits
And waits some more
For Her to look his way
To be His some day
To be His with her heart and soul
While She waits and waits
And waits some more
For that Other
Who was part of her past
Who won't be part of her future
Still shedding many a precious tear
For that coward who doesn't deserve Her
While that Other waits and waits
And waits some more
To forget those times
Those stories, those lies
Those empty promises
And those questioning eyes
And so they wait and wait
And wait some more
Each of them a fool
A fool bigger than the other
Who would have thought
It would turn out like this
But it is what it is
It is fools galore.

It smiles, it sneers,

It wipes off those tears,

And yet it succeeds to make you cry.

It whispers, it shouts,

It regales and it pouts,

It enlivens the years that sped by.

It howls in your ears,

It threatens and it cheers,

It serenades you high and low.

It ensnares you, it inspires you,

It grills you red, it chills you blue.

It shows you your true friend and foe.

That’s the city of Chicago for you, my friends

One of the greatest cities you’ll ever know.

Try it.....you'll like it

When your sunshine goes missing for days on end,
And nothing seems right in the world,
When there is nothing left that you like in yourself,
When you feel life is no longer your friend,
Do yourself a favour….
Look at yourself with the eyes of the one who loves you.
And suddenly the not-so-nice things,
About you and your life, that pain you,
Will not look so painful after all,
They’ll look forgiveable, silly, and even adorable
Once you look with the eyes of the one who loves you.
The world and life itself, appears so new, so fresh
Inviting you to give it another try, a second chance,
U realize the words “You are beautiful” are indeed true,
When you look at yourself with the eyes of the one who loves you.

Unconditionally

Do you know what it means
To have someone who loves you
Unconditionally,

Who is always there
To support you in your dreams,
To rejoice in your victories,
And to revel in your joys.

To wipe away your tears
When your heart is heavy,
And to wash away your fears
With all the strength she has.

Now you know what it feels
Coz at the other end of the world,
There she is such a person
Who will always be
Whatever you want her to be,

No matter what, till the end of forever,
Giving you all that she can give you
Unconditionally.

Always yours in spirit

I do not wake up at 4:30am anymore

I do not check to see if you are online anymore

But since I promised you I wouldn’t do it,

I do not eat away my lips anymore

I do not forget to take my pills anymore

I pay attention to the signals

Before crossing the streets

I am more aware of my surroundings

Especially the fire-engine sirens J

You taught me to see the world

And myself with your eyes

Introduced me to a new world

A world of new lows, new highs

You showed me the beauty

Of wearing your heart on your sleeve

And the courage to get lost

In the magic that words weave

The confidence to stop having

To create and cross emotional bridges

The innocence and passion

To savour all of life’s riches

I’m not going to smile

Just to make you think am happy

I’m not going to laugh

Just so that you don’t see me cry

I’m truly happy and laugh uninhibited

I smile the same smile you so loved once

The sun still rises and sets with you

For you are always with me

And I know you will forever be with me

And I with you, in spirit.
