Soon the pain will wither away!
She wallows and wallows
She wallows restlessly
Soon the pain will wither away
For now memories painfully flood
Tears flow freely into riverbanks
In the absence of any real blood
O! Hopefully in time
The pain will wither away
It always does!

Peace, peace, peace
Peace,
Bring it on
Peace, peace
You do no wrong
Peace, peace, peace
You are strong
Stronger then hatred
Stronger than fear
Stronger than the dark powers
of a troubled mind
Peace
Stay with me
Peace, peace
Flee not, try to be kind
Peace, peace, peace
Why hath thou so tough to find?

Good Bad Friendship
A bad friendship
is like a sinking ship
A good friendship
Don't trade for riches, try to keep
It is not always okay to share
cries and laughter
with total strangers
A good friendship is the only bond
That can be compared to a precious little diamond

When a woman changes!
Change!
Change is inevitable in our lives
As a woman ages
So she changes
But when a woman changes her identity,
Her very own self
All in the name of love,
Behold!
All hell is set loose!
Even to herself, she becomes
The strange stranger of strangeness!

Love me for Love
If you must love me
Love me not for my smile
For if I forget to smile
So will your love vanish in a flash
Love me for Love
Love me not for my beauty
Love me for the sake of Love
Not for how I choose to speak my words
Love me for Love
For everything else fades away

A Rose
A rose is not designed for heroes
Neither for hardened fellows
A rose for a guy will score a zero
A rose
I suppose
As it stands attractively with an elegant pose
Consumed with scents pleasing to the nose
Is for a Lady's heart and yours to get close

Happiness
Happiness is a state of mind
It is out there in all shapes to find
Just like a star, an exciting illusion
Specifically designed by nature's institution
Happiness is one of the greatest things
That can happen to a human being
It is nothing and it is something
It is also everything

The power of a great
The power of a great is decided by fate
Artificial greatness is pointless
The difference is glaringly clear
To date, I once again state
Shall you choose to contemplate
Check your facts and openly debate
Only then, you may be able to relate
The power of a great is decided by fate

What is my destiny?
What is my destiny?
What is your destiny?
Can it be changed at all?
Or is it another hallucination
A figment of our imagination,
of what life should hold in stock for us
If destiny would walk our paths
I would say to destiny
Why have you come all this way, just to lead us astray?

I will be your husband
For better or for worse
I will be your husband
But of you I quietly demand
Obedience and respect
I am the man of house
I am the man who's intellect
For a just cause
I will be your husband
I expect of you no fuss
When I have the last say
Of how we are to operate
each and everyday especially today
