I’m still running on
Yesterday’s priorities;
Seeking prizes that,
If I only I took the time
To think things through,
Revaluate my situation Properly,
Don’t really matter to me anymore.

I’m still caught up in the
Want of yesterday,
Driven by desires
Well past their sell by Date.

The insignificance of Bygone yearnings
Haunt my todays
Until I exorcize them
Screaming
Into faded memory,
File them away
Marked ‘Insignificant’,
‘No longer useful’.

I am not who I used to be
and that's a shame
but I am better off
without my soul of yesterday.

You come to a extremity
where you’re in a foggy state
of what’s next in life.
A spot, where you yourself ain’t certain over
what to begin with and how to begin with
when no one actually knows
how dense you are trying from within.
yet stay alert that you don’t get carried away  
when the people who has no role in your result
pushes you.
Even so, do not fear to pull out time
and hold on to your heart with all patience
until the alarm rings aloud
to start over with all your heartily spirit and passion.

-Thanakarshnni

A new hope; a fresh start
Exciting, and frightening, too
From the moment I gave you my heart
I put all my trust in you

See, there are black marks where I've been burned before
And some wounds that are still trying to heal
But what you've given me is so much more
It's beautiful, and warm, and so very real

I'm scared but I'm trying to be brave
Because I want you to be mine
There's so much that I wish to say
As our lives and our hearts entwine

But I'll tell you with a look, a laugh, or a smile
I'll confess within my touches, my kisses, my embrace
That every second with you is worthwhile
I couldn't hide it if I tried
You can see it in my face

Sigh. All things part.
Friends, where are they now?
Returning to eastern stream,
My turtle friend has long departed life.
Strolling the street,
My friend had become a craftsman.
Back in the capital,
My friend had become a merchant.
Standing here where it all began,
I can only watch their path split apart.

Don't be afraid
to tell me I'm wrong
Because I won't learn anything
if you tell me I'm right.
Don't be afraid
to tell me the truth.
I promise it will
never start a fight.

Mountains & lakes, a beautiful land,
The setting sun dazzling on its golden sand.
Sleepy eyes, looking out through the slit,
Fading lights greeting me as the clouds split.
Refreshing breezes slipping inside touching my face,
Welcoming my broken soul and making my pains less.
'We mend, we heal, we make you whole again',
The lash green trees sing melodies like siren.
One by one the sparkling stars appear in the dark sky,
Beckoning me to them like a colony of firefly.
Hesitant and fearful I dare to take in a deep breath,
The smell of a mother longing her own filling me with strength.
The cacophony of night bird chases away the nightmares,
Promising me a blissful sleep as a new beginning nears.
