Hello dear friends I love you all
I like to be with you
I won't forget how you broke my fall
Just as you needed to

I write this verse as play and fun
It isn't very tough
My poetry is almost done
Let me leave you with a laugh

I knew a man rather a boy
Who was a genius
His problem was he was too coy
He avoided a fuss

A fire came and shone at him
It nearly burnt him through
However it nearly grew dim
In the tear fight that ensued


I laughed and cried, I couldn't decide
Whether it was for good or bad
But when he lay down and cried
It got me a bit sad

I hope the tears are over now
The fun has just begun
I really wish i just knew how
He's basking in the sun

Now I must leave, but I'll return
I'll go and have some rest
Till then may you all crash and burn
May you pass this worldly test

Apocalypse

The start was very pleasant sir
Not as bleak as it seems
I did not have to look too far
For penning down my dreams

It seems quite hard as I look back
It was much easy then
I would work hard until I crack
So I was called insane

I was the best yes that I'm sure
Why ain't I as good now
Maybe that is coz I lost my touch
I still do not know how

I have a dream, I used to say
To reach the top and stay
I nearly reached the peak, I did
Till everything below gave way

I lay spread-eagled on the floor
I simply wondered on
Why did the others go ahead
Just then I felt alone


Yes, I have friends, many I have
They are what helped me see
Yet even they could not save
What I had lost in me


I will be back I thought back then
Now I have gone too far
I chose to go down the easy lane
I can't turn back the car

My days of glory are long gone
I let them go away
But I'm happy, I ain't alone
And I am here to stay

Do you know

Remember the rose you smelt in spring
When you were only four
There is no use in trying
It won't come back any more

I wish the world would read my verse
I wish it would realise
Today I tell the universe
Today I tell no lies

Where have all those years gone

Why ain't she here with me
I may not know the answer
Even when I'm history

As all men come and all men go
The moon still shines above
Every night it puts up another show
It stares and mocks my love

Now I must say is there no way
That I can reach the sky
So that there I can only say
I request a reply

Do you know how much tough it is
To go and say goodbye
I know it never seems as hard
Until after you try

I know I am not good enough
For you to look up to
But it was not always as tough
To be the best one knew

I am not as good a human being
As some others around me
But yet I think I'm good enough
To be a bit happy

Happiness

The damp walls close in all the more

They numb my feelings to the core


It is just happiness I crave

I hear you say I am not brave


You say sorrow is needed too

I say why does it so please you


Sorrow is easy to experience

To yet be happy shows good sense


I always see the people sad

A smiling man dismissed as mad


I like to laugh, I hate to cry

With the great birds I wish to fly


It is that easy to laugh and smile

Keep sadness away by a mile.

Depth

Life is fun, so it is

It lets me do just as I please


It only moves my love away

It is hard not to go astray


You are the master of my fate

Retrieve me dear, 'fore it is too late


You are too close, you cannot go

I will go down under the flow


The moon is looming in the sky

I look at it and heave a sigh


The night is very cold and damp

Yet i get no comfort from the lamp


The lamp that lit my path so much

Is cold where i need the most its touch


I don't know how, I don't know why

My prospects today are as wry


It was tough enough not too long ago

Yet now i feel its even low


What is it that just hurts me

I wish i knew yet i cant see


What must I do I know too well

Yet to move away hurts more than hell


Love is blind they say, it blinds my love

My fate and hers aren't hand in glove


Is there no hope, i ask myself

In depths of love, again I delve


You are so lucky that I knew

I lose my hope to get my due.

Goodbye in advance

Life has been short, so said a friend

Short it does seem, when we near its end


Remember me, second to none

After all has been said and done


When I am dead or I am lost

I won't return at any cost


It is not so easy to die

It pains so much to say goodbye


I like to live, I like so much

There is no one I hate as such


We like to think that life is long

It might yet end before this song


When life seems unpleasant or hard

Don't think it's played it's toughest card


Good things in life just look so bad

That when they pass you feel so sad


You didn't when you had the chance

Though now you may have changed your stance


But what has gone has gone away

Now I must go, I cannot stay


So farewell friends, one and all

I must answer a higher call
