MOM AND DAD

I wonder why she never chased other men.
I wonder why he never chased other women.
Every time he cried.
So did she.
Every time she cried.
So did he.

No fairy-tale romance.
Never going out to dance.
Forever smiling common people, Man & Bride.
Chancing everything for the Family Pride.

He left first, he died.
She went empty inside, but she never cried.
Lived alone in dignity, never losing to time and tide.
Then, smiling, she also closed her eyes.

I miss you Ma.
I miss you Pa.

Mother & Son

Don't die on me kid.
Life's precious, stake a bid.

Whatever you receive, never give in.
Life's good, just try and dig in.

She said it every now & then.
She said it all her life.

Don't save if it kills your mind.
Even in poverty, even if the world leaves you behind.
Spend like the rich, be kind to your mind.
Don't beg, borrow or steal, just keep trying.

Don't die on me kid.
Rock 'n' Roll, even if you skid.
Dream happy and it will all UN-LID.
Life's happy, try and break through the grid.

She said it every now & then.
She said it all her life.
She said it to me, always.
God knows, She never lied.

Ma, Mama, Mother, Mater, Mai, Ammi, Mummy......

Life Ma.
Everybody wants a dream.
Lucky Ma, the ones that have dreams.
Some have everything you could give, but dreams.
Lucky Ma, the ones that still have dreams.

Life Ma.
Love you forever, but can't match you.
You always knew how to love more.
Love you forever Ma.
For everything you taught me.

Love to love like you, Ma.
But I still have a long way to go.
May it be longer than anything, any life, I have known.
Love to love like you, Ma.

Longer, Stronger, on the path, seemingly Wronger...
But,praying Ma, to love like you.

Likha na Ma.
Seekha na Ma.

Love. Ma. Ma. Ma. Ma. ma.
Yeah!

Long way to go Ma.
Getting there everyday.
But, just giving it away.
Every M****ER****F****ING DAY

Love to learn to love like you.
Maybe this is all that I know of love.
Pray, Stay, Lay, Neigh....
NAY.
Gotta make sense in everything I say.
To learn to love like you Ma.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... I still Pray.

When Shadows Kiss

Dancing with my shadow.
No one above me, no one below.
Just me and my shadow.
Dancing darker than the lights aglow.

My room is my ghetto.
Without a friend, without a foe.
Just swirling in a world of fools.
Just swirling up a whirlpool.

Dancing with my memories.
No future, no history.
Dancing with my shadow, just me with me.
Dancing darker than the darkest debris.

Memories scream, memories screech.
Matching my steps with dancer's ease.
No victories, no defeat.
When shadows kiss, is when we meet.

Life, it's really a knife

Look at me.
Look at this.
Look at her.
Look at her lips.
Men would launch a thousand ships.

The game is unfair.
We get more than our share.
We are more than any other pair.
Me and her, every M*****ER, beware.

Look at life.
It's really a Knife.
Just cut through the M******ING Strife.
Enter the bidding ring, even if you can't pay the price.

The play was always unfair.
The preaching past, didn't really care.
You learn your way, through every snare.
The hollow sounds of every M*******ERS, shallow dare.

Life.
It's really a Knife.
Cut around their Dislikes.
Long as they breathe, they pay your price.
