Season's Greetings

Season's Greetings

The sky was mellow

As the sunset turned yellow

Those birds didn't cry

'Cause the rivers ran dry

Life seemed mundane

Without a droplet of rain

That night too long

Without a nightingale's song

The events so bizarre

The perpetual fear of a war

With every season's greeting

Remember that time is fleeting.

So Much So.

So much for granted,
So much to expect,
So much I did not promise,
So much I did not realise,
So sure it wouldn't materialise,
So much I did not foresee,
So sure it wasn't meant to be,


So I took up a chance,
That required a glance.
So now you only pray,
That I were a shade of Grey.
So its just a mind block,
That makes the birds flock.


The wilderness of my thoughts,
The lessons I have been taught.
Now I know it was a blur,
Now I know not to deter,
Now I know it wont be,
From the moment of glee,
That set me free.

Presence of An Absence

'Tis the absence of your presence,
Or the presence of your absence?
Could be the thrill of the day
Or maybe the chill of the night.

For it's always there on my mind,
An experience so divine.
Deep inside I can feel a chasm,
Yet, surprised by life's sarcasm.

Cannot be fulfilled by hope alone,

While anxious to achieve a milestone.
But you keep me waiting,
And I am still contemplating

For happiness or sorrow,
If the sun shines tomorrow.
You'll never find a sky so blue,
And that'd be enough of a clue.
