Tipping point

When do we learn to draw the lines ?
When do we know what we are doing is worthwhile ?
What do we do when the time finally arrives ?
Would you be sure you've reached that enough and can't take it anymore ?
And does an ill feeling always accompany the feeling of being sure ?
Have you reached the tipping point ?

Have you reached the end ?
Do you have to start over ?
Are you running in circles ?
Do you at least belong to the correct circle ?
How long before you come back to the start ?
How long before you reach the tipping point ?

What did time have to do with this ?
How did it get you here ?
When could you have taken a different turn ?
Did you even have a choice then ?
Do you have a choice now ?
Is it because you reached the tipping point ?

What is exactly is the tipping point ?
What are you doing at a tipping point ?
What made you wait for so long to get here?
Is it because you did not want to get here at all ?
Is it because it had to do with something you like ?
Familiarity breeds contempt, haven't you heard ?

When Annie drowned

People laughed,
People sighed,
But when she drowned,
Annie didn't make a sound ..

Venus in transit ..

Venus in transit,
Are you there yet ?

I see you in the morning,
I see you in the evening,
I think about you in between ..
You spend the day and night in my head ..

Can I be one of your moon,
So I don't have to think about you anymore ?
Can I be your only moon,
So I don't have to worry about not seeing you the next moment ?

I stopped looking for love,
Knowing you'd find me some day ..
You know I'll wait for you,
Like an unturned stone ..
I never lost hope,
I hope you never lose your way ..
Find me and give me peace,
Just like the last time you did ..

You filled me with eternal peace,
Made me oblivious to myself ..
Made me feel like a Greek god,
You felt like my Aphrodite ..

You filled me with sweet numbness,
I didn't have another care in the world ..
I could have gone from there to eternity,
Or I could have gone into oblivion ..

Men are known to be greedy,
I'm just one of them ..
I can't get enough of the sight,
Of your graceful movements ..
I still long to hear your beautiful voice,
And look into those deep eyes ..
Trying hard to make you smile,
Each time harder than I've ever tried,
Just to see you smile,
Just for that one beautiful moment ..

The time came for you to leave,
And you didn't seem to care ..
You stole my heart,
With you trapped inside of it ..

Venus in transit,
You're so celestial ..

Come and gone ..

Come Sunday,
Maybe i'll think about you ..
Just like any other day,
Maybe i'll write a song for you ..

The Sunday goes by the way I want it to be,
Like the plants that grow & the seeds that go after you sow,
Just like other things that come and go,
Just like the song, just like me ..

Recurring nightmare ?

I was looking for a taxi,
I saw an empty one ..
A fat guy seemed to own it ..
I was supposed to go somewhere (?!) ..
I get into the taxi ..
We go in a direction i'm not supposed to be heading ..
I argue with the driver ..
He refuses to stop ..
I get out ..
I see a weapon in his hands ..
I run ..
A very vague recollection of me escaping more than once ..
I wake up in a shabby room ..
It's not mine ..
I see my belongings ..
I hear noises ..
Someone knocks the door ..
A man enters the door ..
I don't know him ..
Who is it ?
A stranger ?
He tells me something ..
Goes through my stuff ..
I think I have something I'm not supposed to have ..
He tells me that ..
I ask what it is ..
More noises ..
Two more people enter ..
I can recognize a silhouette ..
Someone I know ..
Very well ..
A friend ?
Who is it ?
I can't see the other one's face ..
Something obstructing my view ..
I can see his legs ..
I can see his stance ..
I can almost hear his voice ..
I seem to know him ..
Who is it ?
And why did I wake up ?
Sweating ?
Betrayal ?

Cold

And I dreamed the dream again ..
That dream's always the same,
Flowing like a stream without a name ..
I always knows how it ends,
But can never stop the shivers it sends ..

And I had to turn silent again ..
For something I haven't said,

And I felt alone again ..
Like a natural born loner ..

And I felt like dying again ..
I wonder when he would strike ..

Having to dream nightmares,
Having to turn silent,
I have felt the cold ..
Having being born alone,
Having Death at a teasing distance,
I have become cold ..

The dead letter

I thought about you and wrote those words,
All the time being as honest as I could ..
Sealing the envelope with a kiss,
And all I wanted from you was an answer ..

Remembering the time when we were free as birds,
Promising ourselves it'll all turn out good ..
And all the time we used to be in bliss,
When we used to think love was like a bright color ..

Since, don't you think we've moved backwards ?
And away from each other like pieces of driftwood ?
Even distant, you'll forever be my princess,
You're the keeper of my heart, you're my jailer ..

I now spend my time playing billiards,
and I wrote to you not because I was bored,
Hope this as a random act you won't dismiss,
And tell me something that'll make me feel better ..

All day I've been looking eastwards,
Waiting for the mailman, hoping he would ..
But all I've come across are snakes' hiss,
And my life has been getting bleaker ..

I thought maybe I was penning some crosswords,
And those were things you never understood ..
And I thought I was destined for the abyss,
But little did I know you never got the letter ..
