No one, I repeat, no one Can get on my nerves, As you do, Dad. No one can say, "No," Right to my face, As you do, Dad. No one can make me cry By being brutally honest, As you do, Dad. But no one can do Some other sweet things too, As you do, [...]

Grey
Neither black nor white, But grey. That is the colour I am. That is the colour we all are. Intentions not evil or saintly, But grey. That is how I roll. That is how we all play. To put me in a box Would be a mistake. To categorise everyone and everything Is the fault [...]
Barefoot on Grass
Once in a while, Take off those sneakers, Take off those socks, To step barefoot on the grass. Allow it to touch your soles. Allow its tips To gently tingle them, To quietly relax them. Once in a while, Break down the barriers Between nature and you, To step out of your bubble. Allow yourself [...]
More Than Anger
The arguments are unavoidable Every time you don't listen. But more important than my anger Is what we have. The irritation is inescapable Every time I speak the same thing. But more important than your anger Is what we have. The tension in the air is inevitable Every time there's a disagreement. But more important [...]
The Gift of a Warm Hug
Don't say much. For words can be deceiving. Just hug it out. That would be enough. When words fall short Or don't seem to stop, Just hug it out. That would be enough. Our tempers may vary. Our tongues may vary. Just hug it out. That would be enough. It doesn't cost anything, To be [...]
Alone
Do you ever feel alone, Even in a crowd? Even when there's room For no more? Do you ever feel alone, Even when everyone is Nice to you, Giving you enough to be grateful? Do you ever feel alone, Even when there's so much Sound around you, Making it no more than noise? Do you [...]
Long Dress, Short Dress
Long dress, short dress, Such a fuss about the length! So much that one is judged by it, One is labelled by it. Wear a short dress And it's a "call for attention," As interpreted by they who love to gawk Or they who can't themselves carry it off. Wear a long dress And transcend [...]
Goodbye
Yes, it is time. Rather, time is over. It is time to say goodbye. One way to do it is yours. To pretend it's not time. To pretend there will be more. One way to do it is mine. To face the truth. To say a hearty goodbye. Why not combine our ways? Hug it [...]
Mirage
You were the mirage I believed Existed in the middle Of my life's desert. The oasis so tempting With its green and blue Where sandy brown Was all the eye could see. The hope of something Different from whatever else I had come across, Till you. Turns out I wasn't The only person hallucinating. It [...]
Someone’s Santa Claus
No long beard or beer belly, Still you can be someone's Santa Claus. Still, you can make someone smile. No umpteen number of gifts, Still you can thrill someone. Still, you can make someone's day. No hearty ho-ho-ho laughter, Still you can warm someone's heart. Still, you can awake the child in someone. No place [...]
