I Can

I can give away
what I don't have
& I can snatch
from you what I do

or I can fake
the biggest real in this world
Yet I can stay
the only unknown

I can give birth
to one for a million
& I can kill
a million for a life

or I can bruse
you until your death
Or I can tender you
you like a child

I can be
the godfather they want
& I can be
the crusader
they don't

or I can issue
my own warrant of death
& I can transfer it
at my will

I can bring out
the best in you
& let the worst
drill your soul

or I can
choose to defy everything
Just sit quietly
& enjoy the ride!

Expected

Its been years
since my best friend
came to see me
or tried to meet

I thought
that he's been busy
tryin settle down
all on his feet

I looked out
for scraps
& testimonials
all over the place

There were many
for many
but found for me
no space

I wondered
am I taken for granted
'cause after all
maybe I am

and tried
to recall all memories
and whoa
what a damn

Its was me
who's the culprit
who's the uncured
so infected

I never grew up
cause even after
series of lessons
I expected!

Is It You?

Is it you?
Is it really you?
Or just another
mirage from that desert?

Is it your eyes
where I see my world
or just a mirror
where I see my past unrolled

Is it your smile
where I see happiness
or just another
river of deceit?

Is it your charm
that makes me addictive
or another shot
of death symphony?

Is it your beauty
that catches my breath
or the cyanide
that is bound to kill

Is it the woman inside
where I see love so pure
or just my favorite devil
that always takes me to hell?

But A Loss

Time n again
I try
to define
the real me

& everytime
I fail
bigger
than ever before

What I am
is what
you will
never know

What I was
is maybe
I still
very am

Or maybe
I am
a loner
to you world

Could be
the closest
or could be
the farthest

Want to hear
the so unsaid
Want to see
the so unseen

or maybe I'm
the one
who is just
deaf & blind

to the fake
& the real
to the alive
& the lively

The harder
I give in
the harder
I could run away

from you world
whom I don't behold
from you people
whom I don't love

Or is it
that I love
you too much
to ever say it

Or could be
just the hatred
I still
carry
for an inanimate

I am
but a human
I am
but an animal

I am
but a social
I am
but a loner

I am
but a gain
& I am
but a loss ...
