Dreams

With eyes closed you can drift away,
to a green field where the iron bells hold sway.
Or you can keep shuffling around the bed,
like a rodent on the hunt for a piece of bread.

For all the dreams that we have envisioned,
there remain countless that are left unfulfilled.
Bed time still remains the best time of the day,
with eyes closed, you can let your life rebuild.

The Failure in Love

Looking forward to the future, what do I see ?
I can only see the same old me.
Scared, naive and stupid to begin with,
devoid of love, can't even come close to it.

I know that things won't change,
because I have refused to act.
some things are not in our range,
and we have to accept that fact.

For all the richness that I might have,
I will always remain poor in love.
I can't even speak confidently,
forget about protecting her with a shove.

For all the gifts that we have received,
there will always be some which we will crave.
Envious and depressed is what I have become,
with increasing jealousy, digging my own grave.
