Hunter and The Queen

In a magical forest 
Far, far away 
Lived a pack of wolves
And their queen, Fairmay 

Like jewels in the sun
Her gold skin gleamed
She ran wild and free
Under a blanket of dreams

One autumn evening 
The queen was mesmerised 
The huntress became the hunted 
By sparkling dark eyes 

Golden days followed
Filled with magic, love and dreams
But silver nights were
The queens dark secret to keep

One stormy, full moon night 
As she battled with herself
Slash went the arrow
And coloured the moon red

Her beautiful world ended
Like a dream at dawn 
But memories of love and laughter 
Carried her home 

The fire in the hunters eyes
Died as they brimmed with sorrow
It was no wolf, but his Fairmay
Her heart, his arrow. 

Every full moon, the hunter and the wolves
Come together as one
Remembering the love of the queen
For her hunter, her lover, her all.

The sky breaks into a rosy smile
After a playful game with rain
Sun rays kiss the sparking river
Love is in the air again!

Birds carry a melodious message
The cool breeze joins with a song
They're painting a new melody
With laughter all along

How contagious is this celebration
Oh what joy does this song bring?
A flower blossoms in reply
We call this dance Spring!

Mermaid and the Moon


The moon shone bright
Floating upon the waves
She dreamt of a kingdom there
Of silver nights and golden days

She was the queen of the sea
A sailors dream come true
And on that windy summer night
She fell in love with the moon

Darkness became her home
Stars were dear friends
Endlessly she'd talk to her lover
Till the sun brought the hours to an end

And as the ocean swallowed the sun
Like every other night
She waited for her lover
But couldn't find the silver light

So she sailed across the sea
To the city of lights
Oh what a different world this was
With no stars to bejewel the night

Behind the hopeless clouds
Lies her lover, her soul
Waiting for a gust of love

The mermaid dances each night alone...

Keep Walking...



I walk alone on this busy road
Humming that old, old song
I’d stop and share a dance or two
But the road ahead is long

The heart keeps beating
In the hope to see the light
And when it gets dark and lonely
Memories twinkle through the night

Sometimes I get lost in memory
Of the things I’ve left behind
But what good is this reminisce
When reunions aren't destined?

Oh! Silver moon, pray don’t hide
Let’s talk through the night
Tell me your golden secrets
And I will tell you mine

You know my beloved
The one who sings to you all night
Does he talk about me, tell me
Is he doing all right?

The quiet moon bids farewell
As the sun lights the path ahead
I pick up my bag of memories
And keep on walking, walking ahead…

TWELVE BAGS OF WORRY


Whoa! Watch your smile sir
Careful, my burden’s heavy
I almost dropped a bag there
Outta my twelve big bags of worry

‘Twas almost that silent night
In the last month of the year
I juggled my way through the street
Dodging laughter and good cheer

I thought I was doing okay
Till I heard that happy melody
One bag, two bag, three bags down
Oh no! That’s too many

Soon cries of my broken heart
Drowned the steady knocks of joy
Till I tripped on a smile and dropped some,
While I picked a girl’s stocking and toy

Hugs and kisses, faith and hope
All bade farewell to pain
Just halfway down the street
And I was friends with life again

Red and green replaced dull and grey
Wait… how come the bags are just four?
Golden bells chimed in reply
You forgot some outside St. Patrick’s door

Friendly gazes tugged at my bags
Message from home poked my heart
I held on tight to my bags so lone
Till the kiss of love let them all fall apart

Whoa! A smile for you sir
Can’t stop dancing now, honey
I traded my burden with Christmas cheer
Gone are the twelve big bags of worry

Song for you...

A million thoughts run wild
As those innocent eyes gleam.
Oh girlie, won't you tell me
What that wicked smile means?

You hide behind perfection
Alas! For how long?
All rules will be forgotten
When you hear your favourite song!

You move like a dream,
Give your all, or none...
And when it's dark and cold
You shine brighter than the sun.

Like two lucid notes
From the same melody,
Friend, room-mate, soul sister...
I rejoice in our familiarity.

You are the voice in my head
a gentle reminder of who I've become.
I am you, you are me
And we are one!

orange trees



Orange trees
Dancing to a summer dream
A breezy game
I hear them whisper your name
Glistening blues
Wish I could sail with you
Midnight sky
Empty like a silent good-bye
