It's desert... but it's HOME

I come from a land

From a faraway place

Where the camels roam

Land is flat and water is scarce

Mirages play with human minds

And if you dare chase rippled patch

To quench  your thirsty throat

Lost you will be in a lonely desert

Hot winds blow in summers

Days are hot and nights are cold

Sun shines like a fire ball

Ah..this is what a desert is like

While yellow sandstorms cover the sky

Cactus rules the vast barren land

Blooming flowers are hard to find

Heat is intense but hey... it is home!!

My Chidhood Beliefs

Once I was a child with cherished beliefs

Sky wasn't the limit and being a fairy was the aim of life

When Sun had its home behind the hills

And if you travel across ocean you would fall off the Earth

Problems were limited to how to make house of cards

Possessiveness was who gets to sleep next to mom

Dreams were all about fairies and games

Truth was all I ever spoke

It was a time when everything was a magic

And no logical reason to explain when and why

But as I grew I realized

Magic was in my eyes and not in the surroundings

Though I know now most of them aren't true

But I still choose to believe then doubt

'Cause once I was a child with beliefs

And if beliefs made my childhood so beautiful

I believe the beliefs will take care of my heart....

It's not only Love...

The little games that we play

Long night walks

Random fights we have sometimes

Times when we talk a lot and times when we don't

When you make me smile even when I am sad

When we share the little we have

Little surprises and gifts that we plan

It isn't only love that binds me to you

But it's all those little things that we do together

And we do for each other ....

Tick... Tock

Tick tock tick tock goes by the clock

As it winds up another day

Time is passing unnoticed

Stealing all it can from me 

And nothing I can do to stop it

While I am lost in memories of

Beautiful time that is now past

Life shortens with each turn 

Of the mighty time wheel 

Not enough time, never enough time

It is there for a second

That is all we have of it

Then it slips forever beyond grasp 

So do whatever you have to now

'

Cause time has its own plan for tomorrow 

And our plans aren't its priority 

And never will be....
