One More Chance

Tripping and fumbling,

I looked for the way;

Intoxicated by the moonlight,

I stopped by the doorway.

The evening was long,

The night looked promising;

Couldn't think of a song,

My thoughts were tingling. 

I saw him and I paused,

The moment truly deserved applause;

We did not speak much,

Were too far for a handshake or a touch.

Like a seductive Broadway set,

His eyes were too intriguing to forget;

Every look made me feel,

I am sitting by the beach, watching the sunset.

Very momentary, like a fragrant breeze,

The night deceived me;

Incidents were not destined,

As I thought they might be.

A deep desire for one more chance,

Will not let it go;

A game to my conscience,

Will allow romance to set the flow.

So many times, in our lives,

We miss one chance, wish it twice;

We believe in all the lies,

Such is the game of love, lust and disguise.

Life's Like That

When everything seems perfect,
I tend to forget I am not the subject.


My tender heart attempts to fly high in the sky,
Poor thing, doesn't know it has no wings.


I sit here thinking, life is in my grip now,
Funny! Every time it is I who has to bow.


If only one could predict happenings,
I swear, life is not full of stings.


Going gets tough when people become rough,

Perhaps for them love alone was never enough.


I turn around to see all that I have achieved,

That's the only moment I feel relieved.


Today I live on my own,
In His kingdom, for my throne.
More is to come, as a warrior I foresee,
Wishing to perceive all the wars with their beauty.


One-man's army, I still dare to live it,
Don't care if I'll be a total misfit.
With no pattern, no format,
Can't help! Life's like that!
