The Levee edge

She will be there,
And her voice is calling me.

She can see,
I'll leave it again for her.

And I see her,
Like a vision in a scary haze.

When I hold her,
I won't leave her again.

Oh... When I'll be there,
On the levee's edge,
Then I'll say,
That I leave it today.
When I'll be there,
On the levee's edge,
I will know,
My way back again.

Once I saw her,
Through the doorway at the end.

Then I knew,
The time to meet, comes again.

And I reach out,
To the broken windowpane.

And I step on,
As the levee breaks.

Oh... When I'll be there,
On the levee's edge,
Then I'll say,
That I leave it today.
When I'll be there,
On the levee's edge,
I will know,
My way back again.

Questions

I just lie here,
And close my weary eyes.
The smoke fills my mind,
And I gain a secret high.

The wheels of fortune,
Creak and spin again.
The merchant beckons,
Selling cures of unknown pains.

Where do I go?
When I've lost the way.
Why should I fight?
What do I have to say?
How will I win?
Where does it begin?
Who was the man who died?

Power and vision,
Slowly cloud my sight.
Building up to something,
Following my inner light.

The mind is swaying,
My feet can touch the sky.
Smoke is so much stronger,
Forever takes me high.

Where do I go?
When I've lost the way.
Why should I fight?
What do I have to say?
How will I win?
Where does it begin?
Who was the man who died?

Protected from within,
Defended by my lies.
I've found life,
In my mind so close by.
Let me show you serenity,
Living, changing,
Where life goes by.

The Muse

The wind in her hair,
And a devil in her eye.
The sand at her feet,
Her lips a silent sigh.

The horizon sets,
As the night sky breaks.
She runs so free,
The wave erases her wake.

Words unspoken,
Linger on gentle lips.
A moment unbroken,
Into dreams I slip.

An innocent victim,
To her unwavering gaze.
Her face smiles through,
Across the smoke haze.

She calls out the words,
A poem without warning.
She speaks of today,
And tomorrow morning.

She says find love,
Before the world forgets.
Step forward right now,
Let go of past regrets.

The moment to live,
Is upon us now.
Enough of a life,
Learn to be alive somehow.

The world falls silent,
As the shadows collide.
The sea breeze moves,
And the night sky divides.

The break of dawn,
A breath of cool air.
Forever I am lost,
I care not where.

Better Things.

On what whims,
The world spins,
Who dies;
And who lives.

How evil love can be,
If someone holds me,
But I can't feel it.
Forever the feelings faked.

But, I'm sure of,
You're ability,
To love me truly.
Which makes me,
My own fallacy.

Just hold me,
Embrace me,
Don't say that,
You love me.
Coz one day,
We will walk away and say,
Things are better ending this way.

I need to know,
Why we're here,
Standing;
In this moment.

Just a weak reflection,
Of what this is,
And what it could be.

But its my life,
And my ability,
To love her truly.
Which makes you,
A twisted enemy.

Just hold me,
Embrace me,
Don't say that,
You love me.
Coz one day,
We will walk away and say,
Things are better ending this way.

Here comes the Shadow.

When war and peace,

Is left to the lord.

And everyone's God,

Is Evil.

Businessmen and lawyers,

Lead the common man.

Where money,

Is the way of speaking.

Leaders and robbers,

Walk hand in hand.

When crime,

Is always paying.

The suit and the chains,

Together align.

And the jail cells,

Are overflowing.

Here comes the shadow,

That we made with our hands,

The sun will soon be fading.

Here comes the shadow,

To cleanse our land,

The time has come for repenting.

We scream in silence,

And whisper in crowds.

Knowledge gained,

From overhearing.

Teacher and preacher,

Guide all to abhor.

And nature itself,

Is weeping.

All that we have,

Is not what we adore.

The world itself,

Seems lacking.

The love that we send,

In a life that will end.

So many lessons,

Are left for learning.

Here comes the shadow,

That we made with our hands,

The sun will soon be fading.

Here comes the shadow,

To cleanse our land,

The time has come for repenting.

Generation of waste,

And life of excess.

And somewhere,

A child is crying.

All that we spend,

And yet we want more.

Deep inside,

We're dying.

Life is to live,

Not meant to destroy.

What was made,

We will be losing.

A new day will dawn,

For our daughters and sons.

A new chance,

For some repairing.

Here comes the shadow,

That we made with our hands,

The sun will soon be fading.

Here comes the shadow,

To cleanse our land,

The time has come for repenting.

New year, New start.

The sun has faded,

It indicated.

The day will end,

And sun will rise,

For another dawn.

Feeling jaded,

Alienated.

Moving back and forth,

Looking for,

A greener lawn.

I don't know,

What I will find.

Leave what I was,

Behind.

Search for,

Peace of mind.

Leave it all,

Behind.

Hold a prayer,

In my favor.

I'm going to,

A lonely place,

Just to find myself again.

Wave goodbye now,

Flying high now.

The rising day,

Will light my way,

In this heavy falling rain.

I don't know,

What I will find.

Leave what I was,

Behind.

Search for,

Peace of mind.

Leave it all,

Behind.

Close the book now,

Take a look now.

Everything falls in place,

You can see it on my face.

I will be famous,

Victorious.

Standing on ashen will of,

The people who wished me ill.

I don't know,

What I will find.

Leave what I was,

Behind.

Search for,

Peace of mind.

Leave it all,

Behind.

I've made it there now,

I have no fear now.

I can turn around,

And look at them,

Show them what they could've been.

Keep to the Left.

To,

Ashu.

I imagine if I had written this then, you would have been singing it to me that night. It was so long ago, but I still remember the day you saved my life. If you hadn't been there then, I would probably not be here now. That was the day I fell in love with you.

Every time now, when He re-appears, all I look for is your voice calling me back, singing this song. It reminds me that I'm stronger than Him, it brings me back.

Thanks for everything,

My Love.

---------------Keep to the Left---------------

Stay away,

From the highway tonight,

My Love.

Don't let these fears,

Decide your years,

Don't make my tears,

In vain.

There are so many,

More days left,

My Love.

Don't let your chance,

Be our last dance,

Don't make our love,

End in pain.

If you wish to drive on,

Its okay my love.

Just look back once,

And you'll see a light on,

For a place you can,

Come back to.

How many more ways,

Do I show you,

My Love.

Give me a chance to know you,

I won't let you,

Throw yourself away.

Don't go to that highway,

Tonight my love.

We can make tomorrow,

A better day.

Your home is in,

My arms today.

Travelogue of Enlightenment.

Merchant of fate,

In search of truth.

Selling, trading,

The wisdom fruit.

Where does he come from,

His travel route.

Curses flying,

His search is moot.

It was meant for you,

I wish you knew.

What he searches,

It was meant for you.

Forbidden fruit and,

The fountain of youth,

It is meant for you.

The light is shining,

At the tunnels end.

No one sees it,

Coz its around a bend.

Stumbling backwards,

We fear the friend.

Keep on forward,

You will start a trend.

It was meant for you,

I wish you knew.

What he searches,

It was meant for you.

Forbidden fruit and,

The fountain of youth,

It is meant for you.

The path he's chosen,

Leads to just one place.

Darkness closing,

Around a saddened face.

Where he came from,

Was lost in grace.

It's a singular effort,

It was not a race.

It was meant for you,

Forbidden fruit and,

The fountain of youth,

It is meant for you.

P.S.> This is my 100th original song/poem. A 100 works in and I still feel I haven't said anything. Maybe I should go about getting these in print... Lets see...
