SUNDAY



I sit on the grass
On a pleasant Sunday evening
Just like we always did
It was my most favourite thing

We would lie down on the grass
We would draw out all the clouds
“Oh that looks like an elephant!”
I would squeal out loud

You would tell me how
The sky is the best canvass on earth
And we would make up stories
Of fairies and horses and birds

I wrote all those down daddy
To give you a surprise

Mom walked in all teary
She hugged me oh so tight
I asked her, “where’s daddy”
But all she did was cry

As I sit here every Sunday
The wet grass tickling my neck
I know you are with me daddy
On that cloud shaped like a deck

Now I don’t see all those animals
We used to see before
I know you drawing those clouds
To surprise me more and more

I read to you my stories
Till the sky turns black from blue
Mommy always looks worried
I wish she could see you too

I look forward to Sundays
As every week begins
To tell you another story
I know you love to listen

No matter what I do
I go far away somewhere
I will know it is a Sunday
When I see the cloudy deck up there.

Scream




The things I want to say
Are bottled up inside
I couldn’t cork them up
As much as I tried


It’s like my heart
Is screaming out to you
To make you hear it clear
Is all I want to do


The storm is coming on
I try to fight the thunder
The noise is so loud
Will you hear me ever, I wonder


The screams are getting shrill
It’s impossible to carry on
I only wake up to failure
At every glimpse of dawn


I keep getting these dreams
You are standing beyond a mist
And I am screaming, unheard
Now I try to find the gist


I know you can hear me
But I know you can’t listen
So I’ll wait for the storm to calm
And wait till the sun has risen


I will say all I have to
And fall in your sweet embrace
I will thank god a million times
For chasing the mist away

But...



How did I get here
Who led the way
I fell laughing in your arms
Only just yesterday


I’m in this cobweb place
It gets scary in the night
I can see you but
You are standing on the other side


There is sunlight
But it’s not the good kind
There are stars
But a dark scary cloud behind.


I try to reach you
But the doors are all locked
I can see you through the glass,
Unmoved , standing on the rock


I try to find the keys
Bang the doors for hours
I try to break the windows
Try pulling at the bars


I sit down and cry
I have lost all my guard
My heart is up and pumping but my brain is all charred


I won’t lose hope
My efforts will never cease
I will keep my search on
Till I find those keys


But for that there is one thing
I definitely need
I need you to keep saying
That you believe in me

Gun to my head



Gun to my head baby, not yours
Please just accept me with all my flaws
I would do anything to get one look
Show me some love for all the time you took



If you could just care for a minute I would heal
If you could just hold me for while you’ll feel
My racing heart beats trying to catch up with you
Spare me a glance baby don't be so cruel



I’m laying my heart right here on your porch
All day all night I wait, baby have some remorse



To have a moment in your soft warm arms
To swing you around at the big prom dance
To shower you with all the love in the world
Give me a chance to show that you're my girl



I have done flowers n chocolates n every nice thing
I have done so much n yet you don't see my suffering
If not a bucketful have at least a tear to shed
Devoid of your love m dying, gun to my head

reason to die

I look around, it's about time
From around the corner comes my sunshine
She walks around with her head bowed down
I know she feels lonely in this crowded town.

She looks at me, she gives me a smile
A smile that never really reaches her eyes
I see her clinging on to her books so tight
I can see how much she is weeping inside

I see her eyes are red from crying all night
Her wet pillow must even cringe in fright
She holds her her heart so tight, it withers
A love song play and she feels the jitters

She knows not I love her so truly
I can pick up the pieces and fix her up duly
I can calm her soul down, I can give her the peace
If not teach her to love, push her to trust at least

What was once a garden of daisies
What shone brighter than the stars at night
I can't tell you what's become of it now
It's all a very pitiful sight

It's like she's trying to kill her soul,
Nurturing the ugly big dark hole
But I try and I try
To see that twinkle in her eye
And one day she'll see my love for her
And lose all the reasons to die

just like that

(on the tunes of "we are never ever.. by Taylor Swift)

I remember when I saw you for the first time
White shirt, jeans and your eyes met mine
I don't know what in them I drowned
And you walked away without a second glance... Ha!

I wanted to become your prom date
But you didn't even notice i was there
And I never came and spoke to you forget
About coming and telling you how I felt.. Bummer!

You waved at me the other day
And the butterflies started up a chase
And my smile didn't diasppear for days
And I finally gathered up courage.. Yes!

I came up to you, told you my name
Wished you "good morning" and you wished me the same
And you asked me to come see your game
And my heart just flipped, it went totally insane

I saw you on the field in your shoerts
And you looked so much cuter than i thought
The game started , flying in came the ball
And it hit my eye, that hurt a lot.. Ouch!

You left the game and rushed me to the nurse
In your arms I even forgot i was hurt
I just rested my head on your shoulder
And I wished for the moment to stay forever

You sat while got a pirate eye
You said sorry for the hundredth time
I didn't say a word, I just smiled
You came closer and I knew this moment was mine.

ooo oo oo oo ooh
You kissed me and the world stopped moving
& ooo oo oo oo ooh
You held me and your touch was loving

ooo oo oo oo ooh
It felt so perfect, it felt so right
& ooo oo oo oo ooh
Just like that love happened this time  :-)

chessboard (song)

Standing in the white space
Baby, I'm a blackhead
Round on the top
They like to call me Ted

I se you everytime leaning on to the bishop
Trying to catch my glimpse from behind the pawn..

I see you and i know it from the twinkle in your crown
I'll come and get you one day now come on lose the frown

I will take a while though 
The rook is on my watch now
You be in your fortress
The king will save you somehow

Baby you're a braveheartI know I am just a pawn
The rooks and knights make fun of me
And I'm looked down upon
But the twinkle in your crown gives me strength to go on

I'll skip the knight's hop and skip
I'll hide from the bishop's tricks

I'm taking the leap and I'm coming for you
The rook is glaring at me
But there's nothing he can do

I am just a pawn baby
I don't know if I'll see the dawn baby

I don't have a plan bu I'm getting closer
I look around and there are no signs of danger
In a few steps here i am right in front of you

I can become a hero, I can smash the king down
I see the horror in his stance
Yes I see it now
But i don't want to be a hero on the battlefield
To be the twinkle of your crown
Is what my heart needs

So I have to bring you down
I have to do it now

I bring you down and you go rolling in the sea
The king gives me his best hit 
And rolls me down with theee
And finally we meet 
Finally it's all over

I was just a pawn baby
But now I'm the twinkle of your crown baby
