Poem One Ashes Of Love Left Behind It was a cold winter night Miles and miles of snow and ice Eerie silence like a deafening noise Not a single soul in sight I could feel the chill in my bones Everything lost and long away from home What used to be a castle of my relationships of love All turned out to be lies and this cold dense fog And just ashes now left behind Of what used to be my life And full of hurt and pain inside And what I no longer can call mine Like hell hath no fury On this cold lonely wintery night Far away I could see a glimmer of light Coming from a bonfire burning far away in sight As I got closer I could see Another lonely soul just like me His soul hurting just like mine Reminding me of a familiar face from some other time Like he had also lost everything in this world I wondered to myself What brought him here To this God forsaken place tonight Not meant for a soul to wander On this cold winter night Was it something like my story Of life just happening Where every person of your life Turned out to be the same old story All it took was one single spark to ignite And your world came crumbling apart And all your meaningful relationship’s And all your hard work gone in one single night And one strong breeze is all it took To break these bonds which I mistook For love and strong that I had always treasured As rarest treasures of my life Turned out to be nothing but weak bonds Held together by weak threads And the havocing storm of my life And you realize that in this life Love is a two way street It is not always about your religion But also the religion on the other side And then you wonder once again what is it about love and life Something that felt so right Why was it not meant to last Is it previous karma or distant past Why is it that he sends them your way As sadness that I feel in my heart That refuses to go away And even the tears had run dry and few hurt That never should have happened And no more words left to say As I got closer it looked like a familiar face From distant past a stranger I used to know Long ago And could not completely get out of my mind And let go No matter how hard I tried This nagging feeling like I had known him for a long time From some other place some other time This familiar face That I just could not place As I moved closer to him I wondered What was this pull that I had towards this stranger Like I have known him for a long time this lone ranger All alone just like me on this lonely night With silent tears rolling down my eyes Desperately wanting to hold on to something tight What was it that drew me to him Like two strangers Who have known each other For a very long time And all of their lives Or maybe it was just two lost souls Lost in this lonely crowd Who had lost everything in this world And not even a shoulder to lean on or cry Trying to make sense of this cruel world Where even the love of your life Turned out to be your bankruptcies As he looked up at me and smiled I was lost forever in his eyes I realized he was a familiar face from my past Long time ago of love lost We had once known each other And had gone our separate ways Here we were once again After all these years It’s like life telling you it had come to a full circle again And once again life had thrown us together Into each other’s arms is it forever Like two strangers Who had got lost in this bustling world In this confusing journey called life as it unfolds Some where along the way who had lost their way About two people who always belonged together About two people who were always meant for each other Meant to kiss each other’s pain away Poem Two This Life Is A Journey You don’t get to go back and correct your mistakes In this life somethings you just cannot change Don’t keep looking back What’s done is done Don’t look back Because past cannot be undone Life stops for nobody Whether we are somebody or nobody Moving on is another name of life In this life that’s to stay Moving on is the game of life We all have to play No matter how hard we try to run away We are all out here in this journey called life Arms wide open head held high The world ahead of us An endless field and open skies Future unknown and nothing we can take for granted Not even our closest ties Our destinations in life are numerous With many crossroads in between Only God knows where this journey is going to take us Oblivious as we are of our destiny Life stops for nobody It is like a river that runs deep And keeps moving forward Likewise we have to keep moving forward In this journey of life it stops for nobody If you sit on the sidelines too long For someone to come along Waiting for the tide to subside Instead of taking life by the horns Life will pass you by Without love by your side You will never be able to reach your destination You have only one life Why live life with resignation Always moving forward is the sign of life Always moving forward Is another game of life And stagnation is the sign of death Poem Three When I Am Feeling The Blues When life feels meaningless And another day gone by And I feel like I am losing my religion And no shoulder to lean on or cry Just another person That’s lost in the crowd As life passes me by It’s then I pick up the pieces And take on something new With a new paintbrush To paint the canvas Which until yesterday was a little too blue With new shades and hues Making sure I always keep my faith And stay close to my roots (I know it has been long time due Time to move on my heart says and knew) To give my life new meaning And a meaningful view When I am feeling lonely And all lost and sad Then I look at the deep blue sea In front of me And where it meets the deep blue skies And the lines blur And my eyes well up with tears Is it all my imagination That life sometimes feels so hopeless That I just want to cry It’s then I go to my favorite spot That I always go to When I am feeling sad Once again I look at the deep blue sea In front of me And then I don’t feel so bad When I am feeling the blues And everything around me Feels unglued And I am all lost and confused And I have no idea what to do Everything feels like a mess And I do not have a clue It’s then I curl up on my couch in front of my TV In my favorite pajamas With my favorite brew And my favorite coffee mug on cue And hot chocolate to comfort me And to my rescue To heal my soul Which feels like a battered bruise And watch reruns of X files and it’s crew And everything feels much better And brand new And they chase away my blues When life feels hopeless And everything lost Every ties of your life Feels like it was a serious knot Heavy price you paid for love And at what cost It’s then I sit on my porch And listen to my favorite music And reflect on the march Sounds from the past No longer playing a trick And my head feels clearer And feelings resolved About my ordeal My wounds heal And I pick up the pieces And move forward With a new zeal And my spirits soar And then once again Get back into life with a roar When life feels frustrating And everything seems wrong All laws of physics Seems like Murphy’s law Every path I take Turns out to be a dead end instead To a journey unknown And path I still had to tread And I am at the crossroads of my life And I don’t know which way to go For my bruised soul to survive It’s then I go on a long drive To my favorite city Where everything about it Is breathtaking beauty I take a deep breath And for a moment I lose myself In God’s awesome creation in front of me And I think to myself The person who created this Must have something good planned for me too Poem Four Life Is Such A Quagmire Life can sometimes be such a quagmire And it sometimes feels like such a satire Nothing in this world permanent and universe seems to conspire No matter what may or may not have transpired Everything seems so quintessential within our reach yet not near And all the best laid plans that misfire And dominoes effect that sets into motion that has gone haywire It’s like Sergei Brin rubbing our nose in it by being on the cover of Esquire And no more challenges left for him but few countries to acquire It’s like a deer caught in the headlights a price so dear While I am sitting roasting marshmallows on the bonfire The unknown all around me sometimes makes me perspire This life sometimes feels like I am walking on tight wire And being thrown into eye of the danger without being equipped with right attire At my wits end trying to make sense of my life and trying to get inspired Maybe God will send me a sign the skies above me are so sapphire In this crooked world things to stay clear And things to stay away from and steer With this bustling world streets of dire And hustling strangers such crooked liars It’s like being out of a pan and into a fryer And it feels like blood is being sucked out of you by a vampire To this beautiful thought that so cavalier It’s like the beating drums of the town crier Spelling the death knoll on your favorite team that’s about to retire It feels good the weekend is finally here You get to tell your boss that’s for sire And you are not his slave for hire And enjoy the weekend to my heart’s desire With a tight kick from my roomie on my rear It’s time to get the engine of my Chevrolet on fire And feel the rubber burning on the tire And time to kickback and enjoy life in full gear With your best friends and cold beer In high spirits and all around cheer Having fried clams and crab at the pier And your girlfriend in short skirts to admire It’s like having on your arms the celebrity Brittney Spears Making you feel like the man of the year In this life we all have to endear To live life to the fullest a rule to live by and to adhere In God’s eyes we should consider this as the final frontier No matter how the game of life may seem to appear Ultimately we all have to persevere Work hard and play hard only compliment you can give to yourself so sincere Few things in this life you should always revere Treat this world like a movie with you as the premiere Reaching the heights and soaring the skies we all aspire This happens to be life’s most beautiful elixir And it’s about sailing the high seas in high speed without fear Poem Five Baby What’s Love Anyway Sometimes in this world of many You meet someone Who feels like your destiny It feels like love from the very start And down the road only to find out It was not meant to last And you ask yourself And what’s love anyway When it does not last forever anyway Like it was supposed to last No matter how hard you try to make it stay So why waste time over my broken heart When love does not really last And why call it love anyway When love’s not meant to last forever anyway I am no Einstein Laws of physics is not my dance But It does not take a genius To figure this one out About love and romance Love is not just once in a lifetime And your only chance Your only romance To find love of your life And happiness that comes by your side As the only one sealed and dealed And sent our way It is not just about one And only one love And one and only one chance But in this life To give your heart another chance To feel romance And to feel it in different ways In several different ways Of beautiful people who will come into your life In this life’s journey That we call life At different points in different ways In several different ways And again a brand new chance at romance And to define love once again As a new happiness you feel in your life In a sweet new beautiful way I am no Einstein And laws of physics is not my dance And it does not take a genius To figure this one out About love and romance To my broken heart Which still sobs over love lost Over love that has gone estray To my aching heart Which refuses to heal From a wound that feels too deep This is what I have to say Why be this broken anyway To my broken heart Which still sobs over love lost Over a love that has gone estray To my aching heart Which refuses to heal From a wound that feels too deep This is what I have to say Why be this broken anyway Once again I find myself Consoling my broken heart Which refuses to listen to reason And feels so broken That hurt won’t go away To pick up the pieces And move on It’s not that life does not give you A second chance And a new romance To feel whole new love In a whole new way And not just only one opportunity at love That was sent sealed and dealed our way So why be this broken anyway In this life you do not get Only one chance at romance Is not what life and destiny Has planned For us anyway In this world of many We are destined to meet few and not just one Who were created just for us To start life as brand new To meet someone new As someone new to meet along the way And not just one single chance at romance Sent sealed and dealed our way Sometimes in this world of many You meet someone Who feels like your destiny It feels like love from the very start And down the road only to find out It was not meant to last And you ask yourself And what’s love anyway When it does not last forever anyway No matter how hard you try to make it stay So why waste time over my broken heart When love does not really last And why call it love anyway When love’s not meant to last forever anyway I am no Einstein Laws of physics is not my dance But It does not take a genius To figure this one out About love and romance Sometimes in this world of many You meet someone Who feels like your destiny It feels like love from the very start And down the road only to find out It was not meant to last And you ask yourself And what’s love anyway And you ask yourself And what’s love anyway Poem Six Go Out There And Make A Difference What are you scared of All you need is courage Not unheard of Don’t let people stop you or fold Don’t be scared of this world Don’t be scared of what people will say People will talk no matter what you do have to do or say Remember it is not always about your religion But also about theirs and their blatant assumptions Go out there and make a difference First and foremost in your own life And that will give you the strength to do so in other people’s life Obstacles will always be there That in essence is life Not a smooth journey no matter how much you prepare Meant to be removed from your path and overcomed If you don’t remove them How will you get to your destination? Go conquer this world This world is yours Go make a difference You were born to do so The day you were born Believe in yourself Go out there Make a difference Believe in yourself Go out there Change the worl This world is your playground Don’t let anything stop you Success is yours to achieve All you have to do is set your heart to it and believe You can change the world So do take the initiative But also always remember you need to be strong first Intelligence and power comes with responsibility (in this world) Let your passion guide you And allow your imagination to soar You were meant to do great things Never ever sell yourself short Go change this world It belongs to those who dare If you have will and determination You can achieve anything no matter how rare This world is filled with people who need heros Go out there and reach out to them And give them hope Give them an opportunity at a better world And stop people from getting lost in the fold Go out there and make a difference In your own life and in other people’s life as well You were meant to do great things Do not let anything stop you Believe in yourself And the world will believe in you Believe in yourself Go out there Make a difference Believe in yourself Go out there Change the world Poem Seven Moving On Anyway Is Another Name Of Life You are not the only one in this journey of life People will come and go into your life Some to stay And make a difference Others as passers by And lessons to be learnt in may day Some bring happiness into your life Others are just a lesson to be learnt Why waste time playing the blame game And what could or could not have been Since nothing ever really stays the same When it’s lot simpler to leave the bankruptcies of your life And just move on One way or other They will all leave their mark today In a known or in an unknowing way Like footprints in the sand Affecting your destiny and your mind No matter which path we take The path ahead is filled with ups and down Destiny unknown And opportunities that will come and go The path ahead is filled with curve balls And shortcuts easy to take and stray It is not always about being right it is also not always about being wrong Nor is it easy to stay on the path When temptations all around us are abound The path we still take to get to our destination It still happens to be as important As the one in our imagination Because the path we take Defines who and what we are The path we do take Ultimately defines us as the person we are Change is another name of life Changing with times is an Important survival game of life That we all have to play Changing with times in this tough world Gives you a strong hold To keep moving forward strong and bold Adapting to changing times Is important in winning the game of life You do not get too many chances at winning No matter how hard you strife This world belongs to the one Who changes with time and keeps on ticking This world belongs to the person Who keeps on moving forward at all times The world belongs to the person Who keeps moving on in life Hold your head up high and accept change And keep moving forward Because that is how you win this game Poem Eight Afterall Who Has Seen Tomorrow Baby who has seen tomorrow So do borrow A page of happiness from life And fill it with all the colors of the rainbow Baby why be so sad When this world can be yours Accept what you cannot control And make happiness your goal This life is after all too short a journey So go live it with no regrets honey If there is one lesson we should all takeaway It spares no one And comes everyone’s way A little bit of high A little bit of low Sometimes we have no choice But to go with the flow This life is after all too short a journey So go live it with no regrets honey Baby do not look back too much This world is filled with mooch and disgusts After all what is there to gain Sometimes it is better to move on Than to dwell on the pain If it was meant to be It would not have gone away What is the point in feeling loss of something That was never really yours in the first place Because if it was yours It would not have gone away Life is too short a journey Why live it with regrets anyway So go out and live life and seize the day Baby this life is nothing But a story of pleasure and pain A little bit of sunshine And a little bit of rain A little bit of loss A little bit of gain Along with a little bit of hard work And a little bit of play A little bit of giving A little bit of taking A little bit of singing And a little bit of mingling Baby it is all part of life And it is all here to stay Baby it is all part of life And it is all here to stay After all if you snooze You will lose Because life has a mind of its own And it will keep on ticking In the end we are all just glad That we are all alive and still kicking Life is too short a journey to live with regrets anyway So go out and live life and seize the day Work hard play harder Others should not really get to have a say When you are not hurting anyone To hell with them anyway In this life people will come and go Some are lessons learnt While some stay all through the way With all the highs and the lows That gets thrown your way This life is too short Somethings are meant to be tossed Out of your life any way Like the saying goes When one door closes Other opens and paves the way Accept what you cannot control Make happiness your goal Life is too short a journey Why live it with regrets anyway So go out and live life and seize the day Baby who has seen tomorrow So do borrow A page of happiness from life And fill it with all the colors of the rainbow Baby why be so sad When this world can be yours Accept what you cannot control And make happiness your goal This life is after all too short a journey So go live it with no regrets honey If there is one lesson we should all takeaway It spares no one And comes everyone’s way A little bit of high A little bit of low Sometimes we have no choice But to go with the flow This life is after all too short a journey So go live it with no regrets honey Poem Nine Life Is Meant To Be Lived With Regrets When life feels like a dead end go out and touch someone When life feels meaningless learn to let go and smile again When life feels hopeless choose to be happy and live again When everything around you feels like one big mess Realize lfe will always be a liitle bit of love and little bit of regrets Life is meant to be lived with regrets It’s ultimately about paying your due respects Live life large like there’s no tomorrow Do not make choices which leads to sorrow Few mistakes we all make are simply lessons learnt Few we don’t maybe opportunities lost and bridges burnt If you do not take a chance on life you will never find out Sometimes love is something you chase after instead of sitting it out In this life things don’t always come easy Grab happiness from life even if it gets busy In this world there are no gauruntees in life Take time to smell the roses and feel alive Live life like it is meant to be conqered Chase after your dreams and fulfil it and make it yours forever Life will always come with ups and downs Few highs and lows that will always come your way and meant to surmount In this life sorrow is something nobody can escape No matter where you hide or which path you take People will give you rope to hang yourself Learn to kick them hard and kick them back and respect yourself Always face your fears head on no matter what and at life’s every bend Never ever surrender even if it is till the very end What good is this life if you haven’t lived it with regrets It just means you have lived life and payed it it’s due respect When life feels like a dead end go out and touch someone When life feels meaningless learn to let go and smile again When life feels hopeless choose to be happy and live again When everything around you feels like one big mess Realize lfe will always be a little bit of love and little bit of regrets Poem Ten This Life Will Always Be A Mystery Life I have known you for a long time now You are still a mystery Life I have known you for a long time now You still puzzle me When I was young and invincible I thought I could conquer you I am older and wiser now And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you I still cannot recognize your footprints Life why are you so scary and uncertain? Life I have known you for a long time now I still do not understand you God what were you thinking when you created us Are we just your mere pawns? Why can we be so easily be broken? Why do we face heartbreak? Why is pain and sorrow part of our life? You have the resource of the universe At your disposal when you are creating us You can create incredible beauty And life can be beautiful Then why is there so much pain and misery in this world? Life I have known you for a long time now You are still a mystery Life I have known you for a long time now You still puzzle me When I was young and invincible I thought I could conquer you I am older and wiser now And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you I still cannot recognize your footprints Life why are you so scary and uncertain? Life I have known you for a long time now I still do not understand you You tell us happiness is the way of life Then why is it such a fleeting thing Why does it not last? Why is It transient Why can’t we capture happiness and make it ours forever Why do you feel we need to know unhappiness? In order to recognize and enjoy happiness Trust me when I say this I do not need unhappiness to recognize happiness Let happiness be my permanent companion Life I have known you for a long time now You are still a mystery Life I have known you for a long time now You still puzzle me When I was young and invincible I thought I could conquer you I am older and wiser now And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you I still cannot recognize your footprints Life why are you so scary and uncertain? Life I have known you for a long time now I still do not understand you This life is a tough journey The paths we take are unknown And filled with uncertainty Why can’t we have little more certainty in our lives Why should future be such a huge question mark Give us some clue about the paths we endeavor Just like the clouds in the sky warn us about the rainfall Just like the lightening before the thunderstorm Give us some clue about our destination So that we are not scared about life Life I have known you for a long time now You are still a mystery Life I have known you for a long time now You still puzzle me When I was young and invincible I thought I could conquer you I am older and wiser now And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you I still cannot recognize your footprints Life why are you so scary and uncertain? Life I have known you for a long time now I still do not understand you Why is loss part of our life? Why is loss an inevitable thing? If loss is supposed to be part of our life Then why do you put people in our lives in the first place Why do you give us attachment Why do you make us care? Why do you give us these feelings Where we cannot let go Feelings that makes loss so unbearable Please do not give us this attachment and love If loss is supposed to be the ultimate thing from above Life I have known you for a long time now You are still a mystery Life I have known you for a long time now You still puzzle me When I was young and invincible I thought I could conquer you I am older and wiser now And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you I still cannot recognize your footprints Life why are you so scary and uncertain? Life I have known you for a long time now I still do not understand you Love is a strange feeling It can be source of both pain and ecstasy If something is capable of giving us so much joy Then why do you make it a source of pain too? Why is love such an elusive thing Is it destiny? Our loves in life Why is it predetermined? Are we destined to be in each other’s life from before? If so why can’t it be a permanent cycle of happiness? Why is something that can be source of so much love and happiness? Can also be bearer of so much pain? What kind of world is this? What kind of life is this? Life I have known you for a long time now You are still a mystery Life I have known you for a long time now You still puzzle me When I was young and invincible I thought I could conquer you I am older and wiser now And yet here I am still trying to make sense of you I still cannot recognize your footprints Life why are you so scary and uncertain? Life I have known you for a long time now I still do not understand you
