The Ocean

The Sounds of the Oceans are like friends to me,
They make life easier and help me to see.
That Life can be Peaceful and yet full of strife,
The Waves can be soft or Cut like a knife.

You need friends to help you swim,
To struggle alone or rely on them.
Family also can help you move through the sea,
And you can't help but be.
Grateful to all who love you for you,
They are always there to see you through.

God rules the ocean and all the sounds,
So in Him we must be found.
Trusting in Him to carry us through,
The waves of the ocean and all that is blue.

2nd Chance

When we went out all things were right
and everything was fine
then we broke up and I cried so hard
cause you were no longer mine

You said you needed time and space
so I was like "okay"
I stood around & waited
as we drifted farther away

I thought that we would reunite
but I geuss that you did not
so I got close to giveing up
to let go is what i've been taught

...but then one day you changed your mind
and finally came around
I guess you finally realized
just what you had found (LoL)

I didn't want to start again
I didn't want to cry
to go through another break-up like that
...I think I'd rather die

I finally took my chances
because I knew we'd make it last
and now we are together
...no matter whats in our past

We've gotten through the hard times
and gotten through the pain
we've been dating for a month now
and there's so much in it for me to gain

I'm so glad that we're together
and we made it through the past
I know this time it feels so right
I know we'll make it last!

A Heart for a Friend
- dedicated to aastha

the seat of love
the crown of passion
its sumthg true
its not a fashion

deep within the soul
stirring emotions galore
all about a girl
who just loves me no more

how I wish I had wings to fly
wud go to her and ask her why
where did i go wrong
wat takes her so long

to know that i am sumone
with love in abandon
for everyone so close
just wishing for one dose

of affection in return
my heart is not to burn
i m a human after all
with mistakes n fall

but one hand that i look for
i look around but its no more
this is not for a lover
and not from a lover

just a friend who knows
a friendship so close
shud never end like this
just cant afford to miss

someone so true so nice and cool
just makes life more beautiful
without u friend i dont look wise
this is just to make u realise

that I love u friend
no matter if things end
I will love u forever
and ever and ever.

we dont have to talk
we dont have to see
we just shud know
Its enough to be

A life

Oh! Don’t you see yonder?
A pretty girl on that shore..
Sitting there by her self,
Lost, Alone, Sad….beautiful.

Her wet lashes look up now and then
Seeking out onto the sea,
Searching beyond the horizon far
For when her sailor come back for her

Upon the rock she sat
As the waves beat across that
A wild beat that only the sea knew
Her sad heart swayed to the beat

Tears trickled down her face
Tiny salty drops fell into the water
Her hopes, her dreams, her life
Washed away with the huge waves

She knew he wouldn’t come back
Back from the world so far
So far behind he left her
She couldn’t follow him there

Oh! There she sits by herself
On that rock waiting
For her beloved to return
From the world unknown……..

Look Within

There is so much beauty in
This wondrous, blue rose
If only we could capture it
Within our very souls

If we could take its beauty
And apply the glow within
Search a little deeper
In the soul beneath our skin

Take what it does stand for
And shed its love abroad
Don't hide the glow within you
But share the love of God

You know you can't touch beauty
Without it rubbing off on you
And spreading it to others
In the kindness that you do

There lies within each one of us
The beauty like this rose
When it's used in touching others
Then its beauty overflows

Should I question this feeling?

A concupiscence, that if unleashed, would
Put mere thunder to shame,
A feeling that transcends any before!
Do I dare contemplate its meaning?
To gaze upon it, would be to acknowledge
A potential of acceptance.

Should I believe in the dreams?
Receive the possibilities,
Give in to the temptation?
Is it possible for old scars to heal?
To become once more,
Sound in body and soul?

Would the exploration of the answer,
Lead us to greater awareness?
Open our eyes to a tremendous
God given gift, that has been,
Perhaps, just beyond our grasp?

Can separate entities really be integrated?
Become one, as in days of old?
That would, indeed, be an
Awesome thing to behold!

What if I were to share these meditations with you?
Could you also be excepting in the potential?
Would you be open to explore the significance
of such a tremendous treasure!
What if my ramblings are injurious to the concept
of further investigation?

Would then the potential be lost to chance?
This is a risk I am willing to take,
The possibility of becoming,
once again, a believer in Love and truth
is worth any adversity that this exposition
of my inner self could reveal

Roses and Thorns

The things that life consist of
includes both roses and thorns.

Some claims to have more briars
from the very day they were born.

There are those who enjoy roses,
whose life blossoms day after day.

They have not yet reached the thorns
that mark their path along the way.

For most, there are some good and bad
which can be expected by everyone.

So be thankful for the smallest rose
and place less emphasis on the thorns

Roses of Life

I've dreamed many dreams that never came true.
I've seen them vanish at dawn.
But I've realized enough of my dreams, Thank God,
To make me want to dream on.

I've prayed many prayers, when no answers came,
Though I waited patient and long,
But answers came to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.

I've trusted many a friend that failed
And left me to weep alone,
But I've found enough of my friends true blue
To make me keep trusting on.

I've sown many seeds that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I have held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.

I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.

Thought about Prayers

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray

Problems just tumbled about me
and heavier came each task
"Why doesn't God help me? I wondered
He answered, 'You didn't ask'

I wanted to see joy and beauty
but the day toiled on gray and bleak
I wondered why God didn't show me
He said, 'But you didn't seek'

I tried to come into God's presence
I used all my keys at the lock
God gently and loving chided
'My servant, you didn't knock'

I woke up early this morning
and paused before entering the day
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray

A Man Without A Face

i know a man,
a man without a face...

i know a man,
a man with a mind,
a mind that thought,
that thought a lot

i know a man,
a man with eyes,
eyes that could see,
see inside thee

i know a man,
a man with a heart,
a heart that loved,
that needed to be loved

i know a man,
a man without a face,
a face that everybody could see,
but no one could know.
