Not for you



It is true my heart pined for you;
It is true I wanted you,
In the eastern sky glazed the sun
I craved for our souls to be but one.
The sun in the middle came like a ball of fire
I longed for you with burning desire,
I look at the sun setting in the West
The sky is pink and blue.
And I still think of you.
Turning your love to the next girl waiting
Burning my bed; her in mind
Sense of glory lasting for ever
Dazzled your eyes blind.
The girls have left their youth
So has your desire.
The nest you left is too big for you
You may come and retire.
Your place is now only at a corner
Compassion to blanket you
Love and desire are still shining high
But !They are not for you.

A Candle for you


Like a cuckoo in the spring
I try to sing your song.
The songs come back to me
Crying – we don’t belong.
Grace me oh! My Lord
With your boundless love
Take me in your heart
Help me rise above.
Breaking all my shackles
Breaking all my pride.
Let me sing your song
Soft and silently
As a candle light

The Broken Mandoline


My heart and soul
Was lying forlorn
In a dark corner of the stately palace
A broken mandolin behind doors
After an eternity it seems,
Who is knocking softly on the door?
Who has picked me up and playing gently on my strings?
Robbed of all my riches
Forsaken by all
I was lying hopeless and torn
Pray tell me Oh graceful God
Were you waiting for this day?
To fill me with your Love to the core
Bless me heart and soul ?

Parrot




A Parrot




When I talk of you
They say , a parrot !
How would they know,
Like the southern breeze
You have sent your message
Filling me to the core
With your divine melody.
I try to fathom
Known from the unknown
I try to put my words to your tune
And they laugh , a parrot !
Desperate , I try to bind your melody with
Music , orchestra, lyrics!
But they remain out of reach-
The fragrance, sweetness,
the heart wrenching pain
That was there when you hummed!
Throwing caution to the winds
I put my voice to your song!
Even from inside some cried
A parrot!
