When we grow up...

And so we'd jumped and so we'd laughed

For summer had come
That summer so harsh
No school, no teachers
O joy, O joy
We'd jumped and jumped and jumped

And so we'd played for days and days

And then we'd danced some too

And kids were we and friends were we

Was that class one or two?

Our eyes and hearts were filled with joy
And we loved the flowers
And we loved the toys
And jumping jacks and crazy dolls
We sang and danced both girls and boys

But soon, so soon, O how soon it was
That mother began to call
Each time I left my house she cried
I want you back soon, you can't be late
I want you back much before nightfall

But I'd be with my friend at home
So why was she so sour
Afterall we'd always jumped and laughed and rolled about
At his place past our wee hour

But mother looked oh so stern,
Her eyes were forbidding
So stern she looked, so thus I kept shut
But yet I thought it was wrong of her
And decided to give her a slip, a cut

So both of us, my friend and I
Ran across through town

Ran off towards the zoo
We laughed and jumped, and jumped and laughed
And like the chimp, we mimicked too

Oh fun what fun, and oh what cheer
We giggled and giggled and giggled some more
Took a journey back all the way through
I ignored my thoughts, ignored her words
And went back to my old boy blue

And soon we thought we need to rest

For jump we did all day

A yawn escaped our lips, a sigh

Our lids began to sway

And so we lay, so tired but happy
Just as those cherubic angels as were we
We smiled our special smile together
Like we did since we were three

And so we slept, and slept some more

Smiling through the sound

Of a slight snore my little friend bore

And an arm to arm around

And soon it was morning and I awoke

A smile, with a feeling bright

For my friend was still snoring and snoring away

So thus I tread, with a hope

And still a smile so slight.

And skipping and hopping I smiled, I smirked

A tub of water that's all I needed

Snore! Snore! Snore!

With shaking shoulders I muffled a laugh

And WHOOSH! Water galore.

How he squealed, and how I squeaked

A peal of laughter, a guffaw so loud

And so was to begin a long long summer

With friends and games and laughter

But then a look ever so slight

A slip, a frown and a hurried smile

For we were quick to smirk it out

To laugh and forget and laugh some more

And soon I left, for house to home

For after those moments few

We still laugh and still shout and still giggle

But I haven't gone back,

And I've haven't jumped too

Little teapot

There

Can you see her?

Short and stout

Those are her handles

This is her pout

When she sees you

Hear her shout

Pick her up

And throw her out

Tired of goodbyes...

And yet again I take a bow

And yet again I make memories revisited just within

And yet again I pack up a hope

This hope...

A day...a routine...a life

A journey of daily chores

Of stability...of security..of forever...

And yet another goodbye

Yet another heartache

Another time to push some space within my heart

Yet more smiles...yet more people

Yet more hellos..but why..

For once again I'd just say goodbye...

And I searched...

I need to talk to you now
Where the hell are you

I’ve looked and looked and looked some more
But everywhere I turn
You just aren’t there
I am alone right now
I need you to hear me out
I need you to hear me
Listen, just listen
But I’ve looked around and your just not there
I’ve looked for you through my friends
I thought you were there
And then I looked at him searching for you
But I faced despair
Never found you
No
Where are you, who are you
Why can’t you be around when I think I have nowhere to turn to
Like magic just be there, no words no meanings no reasons
Just to be there to hold me and say
"It’s ok
It’s fine,
Those people are jerks
They don’t know you like I do
They don’t ever treasure that”
And each time I turn to you
You’d be there
Arms open or even across the phone
To listen, just listen, no more
Where are you, who are you
I need you so bad,
What’s your name,
What’s your number
How do I know you exist
How do I know that
That you’re really there…somewhere

Lonely

Bright lights, were to be outside,

Smiles, laughter

BAM! a moment's silence,

Soon laughter was to be echoed even more.

Moments to celebrate,

wishes, magic

And here I lie in the dark

For those to wish seem so far

For those lights too distant

And so I keep lying,

Quiet, not a sound

And in that moment I feel so alone

It shouldn't have been like this,

Not anymore

I've been far away, far too long

I should be with those closest to me

For soon, new ones would come along

And then it would be so very different, new

Nothing the same, no face I'd know

Just like today, I'd be alone once more

And yet somehow, I've survived this day

A haunted whisper of tomorrow

But then I'd have no choice

I had one now.

So why those sounds seem so far away

So far, so still.

Come back, take me.

I so miss you.

Come back, take me.

Oh please take me away....

Not so Abstract...!!

six feet of muscle..
gripped by a single sheet of steel...
held in tight, just 2 inches..
restricted freedom...
a cross of chains..
steel over steel...
cold hard intersections..
2inches has friends...
one hundred of them with him...
the muscle ripped pulled...
but friends dont break off so easy..
they need to be pried cradled...
keyed...
each had its own key...
all but one...
ninety nine, recounted...
time, there was too much of it...
mocking him to pry each...
knowing one wont...
and what if the culprit was 2 inches...
too much time...
floating, prying, working...
what if with time..
friends departed...
but 2 inches, all alone...
cold harder...
weakening the muscle, mocking, teasing...
there was too much time...

Without a wish...

And ever so softly everything shuts down
The ringing ceases, the smiles, the frown
For what is left is but a gap unknown
From where it came
And from where it’s shown
For amongst the hopes, and amongst the wishes
I think I won’t draw them up again
For each day it crushes
Aloft, so softly it hushes
For we can’t say so
And they?
No, they would never know.

WELCOME!!

The final fall..

Look, look

How he sees upon her face

He lost. woe

His last born, his Cordelia

Surrounded with strewn bodies

Across the foul, the dainty

For she lived off her life of love, so full

Yet so half

All befallen

All anew

For hath the good but survived

Not knowing what it was to loose

No drop of tear shall have fallen

Tween the world of the Cristian, the Jew

And he the father slain

So love, so lost

For she who was loved, lost to all

For she who had none, hath yet all

With mad men and blind men and treason

Hath each befall

The foulest doth be forgotten

Farewell adieu, sweet girl

But..

Don't fret

For soon

I follow...

Just a thought..

people come and go in your life...

but do you know where to draw the line at?

do you know who is in and who isn't?....

do you know who should be led only so far?...

the day you've mastered this...

...is the day you would cease to exist

Misfit Miss Fish

Miss Fish was a misfit

Misfit little Miss Fish was

Well misfit Miss Fish wasn't a fit fish

So other fit fish fished Miss Fish off...
