Sojourney

I wanted to run away from home
So I did
I wanted to see what lies beyond my cocoon
So I did
I wanted to see the greatness of the world
So I did
I wanted to follow my passion
So I did
I wanted to find out life's purpose
So I did
I wanted to see God
So I did
I wanted to go home
But I can't

Like a butterfly I flew away from home
Experiencing life beyond the cozy den
Finding a new meaning to life
Pursuing a dream
I will continue my sojourney
Till the day I reach my eternal home

My Yellow Rose

My yellow rose

Did I even know what it meant?

They say it represents-

Friendship, Joy, Gladness,

Sunshine, a new beginning,

And jealously;

I never knew it all,

But it was my sunshine;

Remember that funeral bouquet we delivered?

It was also yellow;

Wish I could recall it,

But not the funeral

Yellow roses, I always loved them,

Yellow roses, I love them still,

Yellow roses, I will always love them,

But I never thought I'd turned it towards the grave;

My yellow rose

I never imagined I'd lay it on your eternal cradle;

My yellow rose

You were my sunshine,

You still are;

Wherever you are

Wherever you may be;

I will  keep on laying yellow roses on your six feet under

The Silent Hustle

I have spoken
I have sung
I have cried out loud
I have shouted
But it is in the silence that I think;
I read, listen and observe in the silence
It is the inaudible voice which I always hear;
The silence hustled and bustled in my head.
I grew up and learned in the silence
I never realized the magnitude;
Until it opened my eyes
And I understood and saw life

Saved to Live

It was a dreadful day

A kite on the loose

A kid on the loose

Off with the rope the kid went

And walked off the building

Seconds later, the child cries

Tongue slit in half, jaws dislocated

That could have been a fateful day

If God hadn't shown his mercy

God has his plans

But no one knows

He had saved and chosen us to live

And fulfill His purpose

We may not know what lies ahead of us

But we must fulfill his purpose

He lives for us and so must we

For your Mama

On 29th october 2011, Nigel's mom called me up. We talked about Him and how much we missed him. It was difficult not to shed any tear. I just couldn't control myself; hearing and seeing a mother's grief! Nigel's death has made me realize so many things and most importantly, he opened my eyes to see the depth of a mother's love

Because of you

I see a mother's  grief

Because of you

I see a mother's love

Because of you

I see hearts pouring out

You have shown us of the power and depth of love

But you didn't tell us you were leaving

Mama still cries for you

Mama longs to hear your voice

Mama wants to see your face again

Mama misses you a lot

All these years mama has been looking after you

Now all I ask from you is

"Please take care of mama too"

Highway to crap

(in collaboration with Tetei Hrahsel and Marema Zongte :D ...Juzz for fun...heheh)

Ridin' on a highway

Thought of gettin' fresh air

But all I could smell is bull shit

I'm on a highway to crap

Highway to crap

I opened up my window

Thought of gettin' fresh air

But all I could smell is cock shit

I'm on a highway to crap

Highway to crap

I stepped up on my balcony

Thought of gettin' fresh view

But all I could see is pig shit

I'm on a highway to crap

Highway to crap

Farewell

Mama said no
But I did so
A needle pierced through the thick skin
A few seconds of pain
A few weeks to heal
Such was the satisfaction
Mama didn't like it
But I did
Once wasn't enough
Neither was twice nor thrice
The ears now heavily decorated
Mama still didn't like it
But I did
Mama couldn't open my eyes
But someone else did
Mama was disappointed
My guardian angel told
Mama I'm sorry for not listening
I was blind but now I see
I've bid farewell to my studs
