Wanted by everybody
They want me so bad
They worship and love me
Like I'm some kind of a god

They risk everything
Their life, their soul
So they can touch me
To have, to hold

But I'm a flickering flirt
One day here, next day gone
I can dump you back to dirt
When it's over and done

I don't understand
Why it's me they still want
What happiness is one
That in the end is all gone

In case you are "lucky"
Keep me 'til death
Cherish every bit of me
For we'll still part at your death!

If you thought having me
Was your life, your goal
You should've taken a better deal
I just did burn your soul

I love their music
I love their song
No instruments needed
Made of words alone

In other words,
I LOVE POEMS :)

When He Left...

The day I went far
'Twas a war
Between mind and heart
Bitter-sour

Attachment was strong
For so long
To cut off the bond
So alone

Tragically insane
Is the game
Unbearable pain
Is the gain

Thought it was last
But alas!
Destiny has
Hand it fast

Beautiful meeting
He's a win
Never stopped thinking
About him

Then he was mine
So divine
Oh rain or shine
We'll be fine

When he's around
Comfort found
Laughters abound
Joyous and sound

What's this hood
That's so rude
To darken my mood
Is no good

My star has left
Is it a theft?
Did they forcibly get him
On a jet?

Why did he come
Just to run
I should have met one
Who is more fun

Now I am torn
Burden born
On a Sunday morn
I mourn

I must realize
Said the wise
This world's a hell
In disguise

To show you
Let you feel
Any of this world
Isn't real

Happiness and love
I long to have
The highest form
Are up above

It doesn't change
It doesn't leave
If it seems away
It's you who did

No wonder why
I always cry
And there are times
I even die

He has left me
He made me see
To wrong attachments
I should be free

No I don't hate him
I'm not that mean
In fact I am writing
This for him

Wherever you are
My old star
You may have left me
With a scar

Separation is hell
But I wish you well
May you always find
A safe place to dwell

I have loved you
I still do
If it's destined nothing
I can do

I have to accept
And never fret
Take what the Divine Will
Has set

Unto my Lord
I should begin
To step closer so life
Will never dim

I wanna say thank you
And I miss you too
May God bless your journey
Nimai, my cat friend, adieu...

Struggle

Travel's been long
Falling over and on
Stumbling upon
Giants of Unlearned Lessons

I keep singing a song
That dehydrates my bones
Full speed and headstrong
In the wrong direction

I'm a battered kite blown
By the winds of confusion
Why the other man's crowned
And I'm at the darkest bottom

So high I've grown
Yet inside I'm gone
Answers unknown
To my excruciating questions

Whole world I now own
I got bank accounts of billions
Then I met a saintly person
Who hasn't much bucks and mansions

Why does he, for some reason
Seem to have what I want to sit on
Not a sofa bed or cushion
But bliss and peace of ten oceans

Sting

Old man,
You are such a fearsome guy
I hold my breath
Thinking you I can't defy

Your faceless face
No eyes can stand to see
I am amazed
At how scary you can be

Your bony arms
They are too cold and lonely
Zero percent charm
Oh don't you ever touch me!

To stop you from coming
I have no power
But to lessen the sting
Here is a flower

I'm a soul with a heart
And non-matter belongings
If you cause me to part
Body and world I'll be leaving

But my heart I take
Wherever I go
A love you can't break
For my loves and my Lord

Now tell me, O Death,
Where is thy sting?
