  • Dental blues

    I had my tooth pulled out today. Not any ordinary tooth, but a wisdom tooth. I can’t decide what hurts more, getting a tooth removed or getting kicked in the family jewels. While I linger around my bed and sometimes squirm in pain, here are a few lines that summarize my situation.

    There are some things bigger
    Than life itself
    Never thought dental hygiene
    Was one of them?

    I gorged on candy
    And chocolates galore
    Never thinking for once
    What was in store

    One night, oh, just one night
    Twelve moons before today
    I lay squirming and shifting
    Teeth filled with decay

    And the pain, it shot
    Through the back of my head
    I sincerely wished,
    Nay hoped I was dead

    I made a call, to
    The defender of my whites;
    The restorer of sanity,
    Protector of bites.

    The doctor took me in
    Under her wing
    She showed me pictures
    Of dark, nasty things

    She brought me face to face
    With the sins of my past
    And said she could save them all,
    But one, the very last

    One out of eight,
    Not bad I said,
    Famous last words
    As I sit in my bed

    Soup with a spoon
    Is the most I can eat
    Maybe binge on ice cream
    And soft, mushy sweets

    But never again,
    I cross my heart
    I’ll care for my teeth
    More than I’ll enjoy that tart.

  • The life we knew we could never live

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    There are hobbies waiting to be picked
    Or asses asking to be kicked
    A million jaws just to be dropped
    And bullets out there to be stopped

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    Inaction is just obscene
    Hoping fate would intervene
    Watching chances go pass by
    Then wishing if we could only fly

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    Winners win and losers lose
    But winners fight and winners bruise
    Without greying hair and broken bones
    One could never win the game of thrones

    The life we knew we could never live
    Is somewhere out there in the wait
    Asking for another chance
    It’s time to go, walk through the gate

    It’s time to go, walk through the gate.

  • One for the holidays

    It’s that time of year again
    To shop and cook seems such a pain
    Yet this is simply not what it’s all about

    There are also laughs and cheers
    Bottled ales and sweet, cold beers
    Little ones who love to scream and shout

    A nice little getaway
    Children gathered round to play
    Night time skating on a frozen lake

    Prayers echo in the night
    And families reunite
    Tables spread with food and Christmas cake

    A quiet time to reminisce
    To share a song or just a kiss
    On a silent night before the morn

    When the world seems to run around
    And the snow touches solid ground
    A fire keeps the home safe and warm

    A time to remember everyone who cares
    And even those in deep despair
    The time for giving is upon us all

    There’s happiness in the air
    As humanity fills the chairs
    Happy holidays to one and all!

    To all my readers, wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. Hope you all enjoy the festivities responsibly, in the company of loved ones, and also make this time count towards being better human beings. Peace and prosperity to all.

  • Good times

    If pictures could talk,
    They could write an epic,
    Or recite a symphony,
    Like no other.

    I hope they’d talk
    About the day that we met,
    Of the chemistry as we looked
    Into each other’s eyes,
    Or of watching us laugh like no tomorrow.

    How we danced in the rain,
    Like toddlers without a care in the world,
    Without worries of tomorrow
    And what it might hold.

    They might speak of
    The day I fell in love
    With your smile as you
    Sipped on warm chocolate milk
    On a white snowy day.

    They might try to encapsulate
    How I felt
    As you held my hand,
    Afraid to cross the street
    One more time,
    Knowing that the hand
    That provided you comfort
    Was mine.

    I glance as the light
    Hits your smile
    A pretty picture,
    You and I,
    As we come close,
    Head to head,
    Smile to capture a memory.

    Some that we intended
    To make, and some
    That God intended for us to have.

    If pictures could talk,
    They could write an epic,
    Or recite a symphony,
    Like no other.

    Remembering the good times.

  • Never let go

    Fallen angels seldom walk the streets
    Not every day do knights stay at their feet?
    Until yesterday, I didn’t know your name
    But today’s the day where nothing feels the same

    Angel, where have you been all my life
    Seeing your face makes me walk in paradise
    So much prettier than the summer rose
    All I want now is to hold you close

    And never let go.
    Never let go…

    The sun is shining, as it never did before
    Brighter days and I right here want so much more
    Couldn’t stay away from your charming, careless gaze
    I’m walking into sleepless nights through endless days

    Angel, where have you been all my life
    Seeing your face makes me walk in paradise
    So much prettier than the summer rose
    All I want now is to hold you close

    And never let go.
    Never let go…

    Never let go oh oh oh
    Never let go.

  • Let’s light up that smile!

    Let’s light up that smile!

    In the spirit of the festival of lights, here’s a happy song to keep the cheer going. Happy Diwali everyone!

    Let’s open up our eyes to see
    Hum along a melody
    And light up, that face of yours

    Let’s grab a friend and share a beat
    With open arms and meaty treats
    And brighten, your day because

    Life’s much more than simply watching days go by
    Spreading joys and making everything worth while

    So let’s light up, that smile.
    Lets light up, your smile.

    Hanging clouds won’t disappear
    Let’s stand up and go face our fears
    Enliven, the atmosphere

    Keep your fingers right in tow
    And let go of your worries now
    No fighting, today come on!

    Life’s much more than simply watching days go by
    Spreading joys and making everything worth while

    So let’s light up, that smile.
    Let’s light up, your smile.

    Let’s light up… That smile.

  • Perfect place

    Perfect place

    tumblr_mj5aa5Lj641s6jup2o1_500
    I think I know what it means
    To lose my world within your eyes
    No place to go and tuck away
    A deep blue like the velvet skies

    A moment ago; they were closed shut
    Dreaming away in peaceful bliss
    And playfully pouting your silken lips
    Blowing forth an invisible kiss

    You gently roll into my arms
    A childish cuddle is exposed
    I smell your lovely, fragrant skin
    The scent playing with my humble nose

    I watched you sleep; now I watch you wake
    It’s the best part of my day
    Your tender love; your gentle touch
    Mean more to me than those three words can say

    You hold my hand, and pat my face
    Lay a soft kiss upon my cheek
    So much is said without a word
    No need for either one to speak

    And as we lay here in each others arms
    In a gentle, sweet and close embrace
    I know for certain that we are in
    This perfect world; my perfect place.

  • What do you do?

    What do you do?

    What do you do
    once you’ve done everything
    to apologize?

    Where do you go
    when the last place you feel safe
    is compromised?

    How do you escape
    a closed, dark room
    with no hint of a door?

    Whom do you trust
    when the one you depended on
    is no more?

    How do you feel
    when the reality you live in,
    isn’t real?

    What remains
    when the knife that cuts you
    is made of cold and cruel steel?

    What do you have
    when all that’s left are
    blood, sweat and tears?

    How do you face
    that fear you’ve been running from
    all these years?

    How do you speak
    when the words are gone
    and you have nothing to say?

    What do you do,
    when the light at the end of the tunnel
    seems to be fading away?

    How do you answer
    so many questions
    when you don’t have a clue?

    When you’re helpless,
    beyond a smidgen of hope,

    what do you do?

  • Wish you were here

    Wish you were here

    (verse one)

    Sitting alone here in my chair tonight
    With a packet of pictures and some postcards left behind
    The radio’s playing a sad song helps with the pain
    These tears they fall like the pouring rain
    What do I do to make all this hurt go away?

    I’ve been a fool to ever let someone like you go
    I now know what I’ve been missing, now that we are through
    This packet of postcards reminds me just like it was yesterday
    Every moment I spend without you seems to take my life away

    I wish that you were here tonight
    Much more than life itself,
    I wish you were here.

    (verse two)

    Need all the help I’d get to make the most this time
    I pull up a glass and pick up a bottle of cheap wine
    These pictures of you remind me of times we had
    Of everything that I now need so bad
    Oh what I could give up to have you stay…

    I’ve been a fool to ever let someone like you go
    I know what I’ve been missing, now that we are through
    This packet of postcards reminds me just like it was yesterday
    Every moment I spend without you completely takes my life away

    I wish that you were here tonight
    Much more than life itself,
    I wish you were here

    I wish that you were here tonight…
    Much more than life itself,
    I wish you were here.

  • Why can’t I just get over you?

    Why can’t I just get over you?


    (verse one)
    Not a single moment passes me by
    I’m losing the plot of life
    No reason for me to stay
    Or wake up; to start my day

    (chorus)
    Can’t stop thinking about the things you do
    And every thought just makes me blue
    Please, why can’t I get over you?

    (verse two)
    I was just another regular guy
    And then you came into my simple life
    Your turned me right upside down
    Bringing me to come around

    (repeat chorus)

    (verse three)
    Every day and night I spend reminiscing
    How our eyes would meet; we’d end up kissing
    Now I want to run; just run away
    Far away from this dark shade of gray

    (repeat chorus)

    Please, why can’t I get over you?
    Why can’t I just get over you?
