Have you forgiven yourself For those wordful arrows of poison That you aimed at a loved one, Wittingly or unwittingly? Those that came back for you In full force, Striking you as well? Have you yet? Have you forgiven yourself For those actful boulders of thoughtlessness That you rolled down at anyone, Wittingly or unwittingly? [...]

Your Christmas Miracle
When you hear Christmas,Who do you think of?Christ or Santa?Redeemer or gift-giver? Or is it a human being?Someone you knewAnd lost touch with?Someone you still know? Other than other-worldly,Someone from this worldWho may have made you smile,Who may have struck a chord? Christ would be far.Santa would be busy.But if it's a mere person,Maybe you [...]
Dream Awake
It's easy to dream Especially when you're sleeping. It's easy because Nobody's peeking. It's easy to let Your guard down, When even you have no control To give the dream a frown. It's easy So we do it. Not once, not twice, As many times as it may hit. What's difficult is To dream awake. [...]
Like No One’s Looking

What You Deserve
Have you seen yourself in the mirror? Have you seen yourself in others' eyes? Have you seen yourself in the dark? So then you know. Is this what you deserve? Have you heard yourself alone? Have you heard yourself in a crowd? Have you heard yourself in your head? So then you know. Is this [...]
How Can Anything Go Wrong?
How can anything go wrong? When and where There is so much love, How can anything go wrong? Yet it does, Like hell breaking loose, Like the sky crashing down, Things go wrong. In spite of All precautions, All perseverance, Things go wrong. Even if everyone involved Is a good person at heart, Is trying [...]
Free
Ever really felt, Like truly, truly felt What it is to be free? Free of responsibility, Free of tomorrow, Free of free? To not think twice Before you speak or do, After you speak and do? To be assured In what you have, In what will be? If never, ever in your life, If not [...]
Doomed
I knew you were the doom That was to befall me, The moment I saw you, The moment I fell in love, Yes, I was doomed. I knew only destruction Could come out of 'us' But I could not help it, But I still wanted to live it. Yes, I was doomed. I knew we [...]
