Fix It

When the snow is falling

and the fire is low

you fix it

when the rain is lashing 

the ceiling has holes

you fix it

when your car is running

and the tyre is shred

you fix it

when you're going to a party

and the button is missing

you fix it

But when the heart

is split in two

when two of you

had a bloody feud

when the words were sharp

and the heads hot

and life doesn't feel

worth this part

you....fix it.

Love and Pain

There are thoughts I cannot think
There are words I cannot write
There is love I cannot feel
There is life I cannot lead

As light comes before thunder
love comes before pain
The flashes of happy memories
precede the thundering rain

Just as a wound takes time
to mend and to heal
our numb, broken heart
takes time, to once again feel

The wise old veterans
softly say "This too shall pass"
While the green young ones are still
picking up the shattered glass

Love and pain go hand in hand
Much alike the Yin and Yang
A little this in a larger that
Or a larger that among a little this

If you are going through hell
Keep going and stop not
As you will find, life is about
Going on.... Inspite off...

2014

Another year has gone by
Giving as much as it took away
Happiness , sorrow, joy and laughter
Moments to take your breath away

Teaching us the lessons of life
Letting us fall and rise again
Holding us steady in tumbling times
Unleashing our spirits again

Walking through the sandy beach
Picking up the shells by chance
Throwing away a rare find
Ignorant of its true pride

Some fell in love, some out of it
Some made new friends, some broke it off
Like a puzzle with missing pieces
Trying to make it all fit
Making sense of it all

Some started on a new journey
Some returned from a long one
One embarking to onself find
Other returned with wiser mind

With ups and downs the year flew by
making new memories and forgetting some
Putting again a soothing salve
on those wounds of long by

Another year has gone by
Some will cherish while some will sigh
Looking ahead to things new and unseen
Welcoming year 2015.

Heaven and Hell

I have thoughts I want to tell
let me put it nice and well
life is a path we all need to walk
some just walk and some just talk

but this is not about what is said
but this is about what lies ahead
a meandering path through heaven and hell
in which we all walk for a brief spell


while all paths are not the same
some might take a longer lane
some will go through ice and flame
while some will walk on wider plane

some will meet some fierce monsters
which will need some grit to defeat
while some will enjoy a quite sojourn
drinking water and berries to eat

and then the world turns topsy turvy
the path will turn,sharp and curvy
the unknown shall again arrive
needing some grit to again survive

when heaven turns to hell one cannot tell
on one foot the world is shining bright
the next one brings a scorching blight
while another brings joy and delight

while going through hell, keep going
while going through heaven, keep going
the path does not end in heaven or hell
when it ends.... only time will tell

The Days Gone By

While watching a child on the train
giggling and laughing at the pouring rain
hearing a lazy yawn and a shrieking cry
I wondered... How the days have gone by

From splashing in a rain made slush
to watching it fall from an office plush
From leisure dinners to a quick burger and fries
I wondered.... How the days have gone by

From getting dirty playing all day long
to doning ironed clothes, whistling a song
from untied shoelaces to suiting up a tie
I wondered.... how the days have gone by

The merry laughter and the innocent glee
that came from licking an ice slushee
to having a martini neat and dry
I wondered... how the days have gone by

We vowed to grow up one day
and for that we prayed and prayed
and that we are all adults now
We wonder... where those days have gone and how

Untitled

I do not know what life may bring
another twist or a new beginning
smooth sailing on calm waters
or rough rumbling from all quarters
broken friendship or a new companion
losing the race or another medallion
a sadness that seems never ending
or happiness that was long pending

I do not know what life may bring
I am aware of just this thing
times will come and times will go
a river does not stop to flow

life is made of ups and downs
yin and yang go round and round
one must always keep alive
the spirit of fire and to strive
though one knows not what life may give
one must always remember to.... live.

Phoenix

From the ashes it arose
defying all those
who thought it was the end
it, unable to again ascend

Pheonix- the mythical bird
Proud and golden feathered
Teaches us all a truth
about life, death and youth

One may be battered and charred
Tired, sunk and forever marred
The shell may be on the pyre
but a heart filled with fire
Can rise again from the embers
Ready again to face dangers

From acorn to oak to acorn
Life, death and to be reborn
Thats the life for you and me
Made of heart, mind and body
There is never an absolute end
Just a descend and then an ascend
