The siren call of desire
Wrecking my whole existence
Scorching me like a fire
Satiating me in every instance
Every fragment of my being
Still longing to be with you
The ecstasy that you bring
When you’re away I’m blue
What have you done to me?
My yearning swelled to a roar
To all my being here’s the key
You hit me right to the core
Your wild ways and salty language
Make me foolish with craving
You’re my complete package
To you I absolutely cling

I’m falling on the edge of the abyss
I’m muddled but don’t want to give it a miss
I do not lead a holy life and I feel guilty
I come to you and need your advice badly
My flesh is weak and I’m drifting away
I acted like a fool and I was led astray
It was a pretty tame affair but still hidden
What was done couldn’t be undone
A secret so to speak in the mist of tides
I wish I could just take them in strides
I know this too will pass but I need the light
Light at the end of the tunnel for my plight

Decisions, decisions,
Will I reason through it
Or go with my gut?…
“You must make a choice
To take a chance or
Your life will never change”
Such an inspirational quote
To be or not to be, that’s the question
Do I take it or not, that’s another
What will happen if I don’t?
Will I be given a second chance?
Or will I let my life be the same?
When I could have done something?
Dilemma, more dilemma in our lives
Questions we attempt to answer
Questions coming up everyday
Big decisions, small decisions
Sometimes we can tackle them
Other times they are more complicated
We have to weigh the consequences
Contemplate on the pros and the cons
Follow our hearts, instinct and guts
Sometimes we hurt the ones we love
Sometimes we don’t get what we want
Sometimes we fall down several times
And come back on our feet many times
Do we carry on or just give up?
I’d say, carry on even if they hurt
Carry on even if we think we can’t
Carry on even if there are deterrents
We have to be tough and carry on!

With love and passion, I adore thee
Like a passion flower, I blossom
In my heart and soul, love you dearly
I’ll even get the moon to fathom
Like the flowers clinging on the wall
Our love is stronger than people think
Can survive hurricane and rainfall
We’ll make our world colourful and pink
Live our own way as long as we’re free
Together we can solve our problem
We fight, we make up and we agree
And when we do, we are so blithesome
Through the years we’re having such a ball
And we have found ways to be in sync
There is no such thing as a cure-all
Make it count, as life goes in a blink
For my heart I’m giving you my key
With love and passion, I adore thee
In my heart and soul, love you dearly
We fight, we make up and we agree

In the grand scheme of things, we meander in bliss
Don’t signal me to leave with my horse, I’m a princess
Live with those we need the most, life’s full of roses
With a buzz and a fuzz, we have to take all our chances
Forget the gamblers and saloon girls with their bullets
Write some sonnets, enjoy the chocolates in the banquets
Stop in a cosy spot and keep ourselves warm by firewood
Stay virtuous, you might even be a candidate for sainthood
Tenacity will get us through against dismal thrust of events
Life is full of twists, turns and surprises, live in suspense
I get goose bumps by thinking we’re living at the edge
Sometimes sliding downhill like a journey with a sledge
Life’s such a ball, full of locks, smiths and the whole lot
Open our eyes and believe in faith, fame and whatnot
To be or not to be, that’s the question
Do I take it or not, that’s another
What will happen if I don’t?
Will I be given a second chance?
Or will I let my life be the same?
When I could have done something?

she tried to sleep
lots of things in mind
different masks for her
to be a Jane Doe
far away from truth
keep away from foe
she wants to be free
please keep her in toe
not an easy prey
nor an easy ride
life is such a blur
her hair sprayed grey
should get an armour
needle in a hay
no facade to show
no one has to know

you said you’ll stay with me forever
blah! all talk, no trousers, for you were gone with the wind
by the bridge
swore with our padlock
wrote our names
locked us both
but then you changed and left me
like rusty padlock

sweet life, salty advice.
I wonder who doesn't suck at marriage on some level...
Don't decide to get hurt, just go along with all of this knowing there's nothing I can do but keep going. I am pushed and pulled by forces and I know that where I am is a place I will look back on, with nostalgia, with a very intense memory.
