Some Coffee and Tom&Jerry

Life seems mundane, and we bitch about it
Schedules go insane and we crib about it,
We plan and the plans blow up
As we chart out future, present shows up.

If every waking moment
We add something to our lives
Smile through the torment
Sprinkle some spice...

If only we embrace the sunshine,
And sip some coffee when it rains...
If only we laugh till it hurts
And watch Tom&Jerry when it pains...

Hold onto Hope and fasten the Faithbelts,
Let's ride along the sine curve of life...
Scream out crazy and loud with all your friends..
Let your eyes be shining, may you feel Alive...

The Whimsical One

The whims of the heart

Are so hard to understand…

It goes numb in a carnival,

And flutters up in the desert sand.

It longs to belong

Surrender without fear

Yet it steps back alert, on guard

Doesn’t allow anyone near…

It is so strong, yet so vulnerable

It keeps goin on, even when shattered a million times

It embraces life as it comes, yet it lives in a fable

It gathers itself & stands up, even when dropped a million miles…

The whims of the heart

Is so hard to understand…

It goes numb in a carnival,

And flutters up in the desert sand.

The glitz don’t impress it,

The jeweled words don’t count…

A single look of understanding is all it needs

To lift it up to skies and beyond…
