Your Silent Smile

We watch the dawn
Of a new day,
As the sun dispels
The darkness
That was once all around us.

We set out -
Fingers entwined,
Leaving our imprints
On the sands
To face the world
That awaits us;
Quietly confident
Yet not unafraid.

As we arrive at the path
Where once we stumbled,
We fear
For what lies ahead,
But realize: it is now
The time to act.
Moving ahead
Has become our supreme fact.

I look at you,
Your silent smile speaks
More than words
Can ever tell

We cast our fears to the wind
And march ahead…
Without a regard
For Heaven or Hell.

Between Love and Indifference.

What a lie we utter,
When we claim to be better,
Than the beasts,
And to be as apart from them
as west from the east.
When we say, ‘Looks don’t matter’
And then go flatter,
The next pretty face we meet,
And fall at their feet,
And roll on the floor,
And bend over backwards
And so much more,
Just to get that foot in the door.
But just as before,
It slams with rejection
And you sit there in dejection,
Telling yourself another lie,
That someday things will change,
If you try.
But failure shall always be around,
If you have a few extra pounds,
Or if you’re underweight,
Ain’t it great?
how we let someone else dictate
Our fate, based not on what we are,
But what they can see
That’s how shallow we can be!

The fools
can play by someone else’s rules,
But I refuse -
To do the same,
I refuse -
To play their games,
I’m going back to sleep,
Wake me up
When things have changed,
When the world isn’t so strange,
And when looks don’t make the difference,
Between love and indifference.

Still Unfinished

‘Beauty truth…’ says one,
‘Is all ye need to know in life.’
‘All is flux’ the enlightened one says,
‘Everything shall one day die.’
We’ll all fall down, One by one,
As night consumes the evening sun.

Count your days backwards,
‘Forever’ ends sooner than planned,
Waste not your life on trivialities,
Value every grain of sand.

For it takes a moment to build,
And a moment to destroy,
A moment to turn sadness to joy,
A moment for the truth to turn into a lie,
And not more than a moment
To bring a tear to the eye
A moment to cease decades of pain,
And a moment to cause it all over again.

But this pain of mine,
Shall never diminish,
Until the moment
You deal with the unfinished.
