A silent ray of hope appeared
Far across the ocean
Or just a lust
because it is too early to trust
...

The show was going flawless
The dance was on the beat
You held me just so perfectly
Our steps would always meet
...

I thought you would, you dint
I waited all day long
I hope that you wanted to,
And my expectation was wrong
...

Ever seen a mad guy
Dancing on his own?
Or perhaps, singing?
Singing his own note?
...

Hold my hand, I won't mind
Little effort you have to make
Pull me out of the timid bubble
Little risk I shall then take
...

The breeze isn't restful, it hurts like a thorn
My hands get deaden, that’s why I wear gloves on
Tough to walk and tolerate the talk tonight
Give me one more coat, it’s so cold outside
...

A face with a smile,
As I enter the bar
Gave me a clear clue
a striking evening ain't too far
...

They say that I have changed….but haven’t they too?
It’s not a different “me”, but a sign that I grew
When they don’t seem to understand
Believe my rough hands
...

My heart pops up as you enter
I start breathing fast
As long as you stand near me
This smile on my face shall last
...

When you wipe their tears
Their vision gets even clear
And a voice from the sky
Says “Thank you”
...

They think that I am stranded
They think that I am sad
I have been resting in this bed for so long
And It's time to return all that I had
...

What do you do?
'I play with mud', he said
What do you eat?
'I don't feel hungry', he said
...

The boat sunk before the last chance
I had a plan for harbor
...

I am flowing like a river
Or flying like a bird
Walking to the beach
Sometimes feeding the herd
...

Does she look away? At your most alluring glance?
Does she pretend to ignore your praise? a flattering comment, When you pass
Don’t misinterpret it with lack of interest
She is just shy,
...

Knowing the truth the tides will wash it away
But it brings a smile on my face, for as long as it stays
Like holding on to something that will slip through my hands
I still write my name on the sand
...

Sing, don't stop…It's a soothing note
No matter how bad it may be, giggle with your throat
I can listen to it for the whole night long
For your voice is my favorite song
...

A short way got so long
From this I shall begin
Like a kid loses his toy
A strange sorrow instead of joy
...

The picture in the frame right now is brutally hard to learn
The love we knitted for so many years, took us no time to earn
Friendship we shared was nothing like anybody’s
The time that has now gone, can just wish that we could turn
...

I got up in the morning and there is nothing exciting lined
Why is my life like that is what there on my mind
Why do I have to stay back and not do anything today
I yell at god and ask, Will this ever stop the play?
...
