Seema
Hey,
It's Christmas night
And Santa's not in sight
Tho the stars shine bright
Something seems not right
Am holding my memories tight
Feelings pour in, while emotions fight
My fears turning into tears
A lonely Christmas since four years
Hopeless moments, no one cares
Darkness seems to be my true friend
The wailing of my spirit has no end
Yet, I've lit a candle to shed some light
In my dark corner, over a height
The night is beautiful, with decorations
On trees with antique creations
It's a silent night
A Holy night
Having cookies and milk,
Coz Santa's not coming tonight...

I wish, I wish... for a shooting star.
One that is closer and never so far.

When it drifts with grand charm and grace.
It Sends blessings to human race.

Helping all dream and scheme away.
As we connect on New Year's Day.

I wish I wish as I do see,
Visions of riches and harmony.

The closer it gets the more I smile,
knowing I’m safe as I dance in aisle.
Inspired by Hector. He wrote first two lines.  Thanks

I always cry for you at 3 am
Like clockwork
When the world is asleep
I always cry for you at 3am and I’ll cry at 4 too
Because I know that’s how you make wishes come true
When my eyes are bloodshot
And my head is pounding
I know someone hears me
I just don’t know if it’s you
I always cry for you at 3 am and I’ll cry at 4 too
Because I know that’s how you make wishes come true
When my heart aches and my body burns with pain
That’s how I know the magic is working
You’re laugh and your whisper will haunt me until your return
I always cry for you at 3 am and I’ll cry at 4 too
Because I know that’s how my wish will come true

It’s chaos, sweetness
Some kind of confusion that
Unravels one’s mind
I'd never hurt myself but
sometimes I get the urge to cut open my face and disfigure it
Because I wonder if I lose all attachment to myself, I’ll finally be free.








If only it worked like that.
If you need to talk to someone, you can talk to me anytime--please don't self-harm <3

There is a frozen lake with a grand piano in the center of it.
There is an older man playing songs from our childhood as we stand around him and sing the words to his music.
The cool breeze is getting cooler and snow is threatening to fall at any second...
But there is soup on the stove and warm couch for us to sit together and lay down.
Drink a glass of wine, raise a glass for all our times.
Smiles, tears, dances and doors slammed.
Children born, parents gone, friends say hello and just as quickly say goodbye...
The old man is tickling the ivory and the ebony keys - songs like brown eyed girl and I guess that's why they call it the blues. He plays Cole Porter and Ira Gershwin tunes too...
We hold hands and I want to take you in my arms and sweep you off your feet, fly away to another world...another time...
But the lake is frozen, the snow is beginning to fall and the soup is on the stove...I can smell it from here...
So say goodbye to the sadness, say goodbye to that old man, playing Fire and Rain...maybe tomorrow we can do this all again.
Not a day goes by

Dreams of Sepia
It is Summertime
like in the George Gershwin song
the grass is waving, tall
& my step -father's rich
& my mom's not bad looking
(still despite being in her late years)

In a mansion house
that is a museum
someone is polishing
a large copper ***
& dusting the books
in the old library

A vagrant locked out
of childhood haunts
in my dreams I walk
along a country road
The grass is waving, tall
it’s summertime
like in the George Gershwin song
