Those Beautiful Eyes - 17th June 2007

He had walked another thousand miles
Legs weary from the long and lonely journey
As the days go by, each time no different from the next
He couldn't see what the future held

Once in a while, he would notice a sparkling presence far away
It beckoned him to come nearer
But each time the light appeared, he did not listen to his heart
And proceeded with his solitary journey

One fine day, he paused his journey for a rest
Stopped and saw the shining light again, in the distance
A lone, mysterious lady stood there
Her beautiful eyes sparkled in the darkness

But he realised she was filled with sadness
For she too had come to her own crossroads and had chosen her path
Woe overwhelmed and gripped her
But still, she stood strong against the swirling winds

He was overcome with emotion, he saw joy once again
Those mesmerising eyes brought light to his dark and empty soul
He decided he would walk on with her
And he'd be there for her for better or for worse

And soon they moved on with the long journey
Hand in hand, they strode on together
Although the door to her heart remain locked
He still stood beside her, even in her darkest hour

The moments they spent together
On the hills looking afar, or by the sea embraced by the breeze
Every single minute he was with her
Engraved in his eternal memories

Suddenly, rain clouds filled the sky
And it poured heavily across the lands
She had distanced herself from him
As doubts crept into her mind

He found himself facing the next crossroads
Should he move on alone with regret, or should he persevere?
Cos he still yearned for those days long gone, all he asks for is a second chance
To again be enchanted by those beautiful eyes..

"The end of the day was near, as the emerging darkness told,

The sun descends slowly into the horizon, leaving on the waves a shimmering splash of gold."
 

April 20, 2003, Sunday

There he stood, solitary in the wideness of blue
The infinite horizon spanned across with a ray of light peeking through
Not a word was spoken, only the welling up of tears in his eyes
As reflections flowed through, with regrets, sadness and lies.

"Move on," were the words that came to him
As it always did, at the previous crossroads
He then embarked on his next journey of passage
Another thousand lonely miles.

The clock 

The clock is ticking

I'm alone in my room

sitting by the window

and the clouds crawl across the wide spread of blue

Ran my fingers through my hair

opened the window

as the world before me

presented a clearer view

I picked up my guitar

blew the dust off the frets

pressed my fingers on the fingerboard

and played like I used to do

But there's no music

only droning sounds of monotony

the fingers weren't able

as the heart was no longer willing

The music of my heart

plays an eternal melancholic tune

emptiness overcomes me

emotion no longer controls me

Slowly, it all begins to unravel

my life before me

the moments of ecstasy

and the moments of sorrow

I put down my guitar

placed my pick into my pocket

sat down on my chair

the clock is ticking

Glide on, my Delphinus Delphis - 29th November 2000

As I looked beyond the dusk horizon, across the sea of blue;

The setting sunrays across the waters, the ocean deep and true;

And suddenly, ripples emerge, and the calm waters crested to the flow;

A most beautiful creature emerged gently, its splendour stood out to show.

With a splash of its majestic tail, the creature swam to me;

Its magnificent head emerged from the waters, its joy obvious to see;

"Glide on, my Delphinus Delphis" I said, as my dolphin dives away from sight;

It glides towards the sunset, with its new found true love beside.

The Neverending Grasslands (15 July 2000)

The sun slowly rising over the horizon, 
the clouds floating over a sea of blue;
The fresh air over the green grasslands,
life begins, aplomb and true.

The little cottage in this countryside,

simple as it may seem;

But for me, I'm a contented man,

for in this cottage, I am living a dream.

And as I run across the beautiful grasslands,          
holding my true love's hand close to me;
She gazed across the neverending horizon,
and declared "My darling, you see,

For you have brought me to your dreams,

your life as you want it done;

And a beautiful dream tis', your life with your loved ones,

in the neverending grasslands, blessed in the warmth of the sun."

And one fine day my true love told me,

"My darling, our love has grown;

the seeds of our love, a new little life growing in me,

the one that we have sown."

A new life is here, a beautiful little bundle of joy,

it was as pure as can be;

The smile it gives, the soft gurgles it makes,

makes life, once again, beautiful for me.

The day has come to an end, the sun has set,

the stars and moon illuminate the grasslands, setting the mood;

My fair lady beside me, the baby asleep,

and I whispered to them, "life is good".
