Tonight as I close my eyes
I know not if there'll be a tommorow.
Yet plan i do for happiness, 
Lost in rosy dreams of you.
I drift into the hazy clouds as
Warm in your arms i lie in my dreams,
Close as ever i know i will be
For certainly dreams they will ever be
Not blossom into flames of passion.
Smile for me while i can see
For tomorrow may never be
Come close to me in my feverish dreams
Be mine now forever
Though all i have is only moments.
Come walk with me, hold my hand
Guide me through my muddled mind
My love for you will never abate
Though blown away i am by storms.
Too long i have been alone
Searched for what has long been gone,
Now at the end of my days i seek
Love, peace and you by my side.

When I am tired and oh so alone,
And want to be in a happy zone,
I just sit down in my garden green,
And lose my self in my musings and dreams.

The yellow fields swaying in the breeze,
The butterflies flitting on gossamer wings,
The birds and the bees, with their notes so sweet,
The fluffy clouds that put me to sleep.
The tinkling of water from the fountains fresh,
The fish in the pool that swim without rest,
The flowers so pretty, nodding their heads
The fragrance in the air, intoxicating my senses.

Refreshed then, my mind starts clicking,
Words tumble out and poems are written,
Sometimes happy, some are so gloomy
But all magically, from the core of my heart.

A little bird comes to my window sill
Sits there and sings it's melodious songs
I strain to hear through the toughened glass
But all I hear is the rumble of cars.

The sounds that deaden my senses are loud
But in the silence too I hear only you.
The soft whispers that brush against my lips
Are sweet to my ears and warm on my skin.

Games we play in this crazy world
Deafening sounds that unceasingly shout
Lets find a corner under the shade of trees
You and I, let's retreat into a world of peace.

If you were mine,
If you were mine, I know,
There'd be stars in the sky
That would glow for me,
Even though there were clouds
That hid the moon from my eyes.
The twittering birds
Would be singing just for me, I know,
For the love that blooms in my heart
Would ever grow.
And I'd be dancing in the rain
As it fell on my eyes and my lips.
As my body got soaked, I know,
I'd be thinking of you evermore.
The road that leads me to you
Is long, I know,
And many a stones on which
I'd stub my toes
But happily, each time,
I'd skip all the way, for
Warm I'll be in your arms.

Reflection.

People I bump into from the yesteryears 
Talk of my mother like she was here
The way she looked and the way she walked
They can't get over how so like her, I talk.
I look in the mirror now and I see her face
Lovely she was and so full of grace
She made me the person I am now
Moulded in her image she worked on me how!
I wonder if I could ever be like she was
Am I really a true reflection of her?
